small business i'm show business i'll see you then. oh. the media explodes into a frenzy after the two russians accused of carrying out a nerve agent in the u.k. come forward and speak to r.t. as editor in chief denying any involvement in the case. do you work for the jury

you look up and you meet normal and you and i don't either. the u.s. praises the actions of the saudi led coalition in yemen saying it's justified as it's fighting al-qaeda we look at how washington's approach in the region is not always unified. people here are. so proud it's worth i've been a very long time calorie supporter there was a shock to all of us the results of the election. and the leaks of video google's top executives reveal their true thoughts on donald trump twenty sixteen election when raising questions over political bias. a warm welcome in a very good morning to you you're watching r t international with me the key hour

and. murderers having a holiday from hell and makes the case against them even stronger bonds just a taste of the. reaction is greeted the interview to r.t. of the two russians accused of carrying out the nerve agent poisoning in the u.k. city of souls bring the pack aim forward and spoke to artie's editor in chief margarita simonyan earlier on thursday. we. learn even though my been to live one you called me on my cell phone and told me that you are a slumber shooter from the looks on the floor you found it all with one wish. we could you really look like the pictures shown to us by the u.k. and in the difficult. next year. when the someone who are you and we are those who were shown to you in the pictures but muslims bashir of and i would say under powered through the russians there are those your real names national yes they are real names and i would have to suggest to them but even now when you are

talking about it to tell you the truth you look very nervous on them it. can move on well what would you look like or when your life is turned upside down in a moment in just one day and changed our lives. exam this is the t.v. footage from london you walk in those now famous coats and sneakers and soles brick . soles are these people you yes it's still what were you doing there and our friends have been suggesting for a long time that we visit this wonderful town souls very wonderful town and yes a tourist town. there is the famous solsbury cathedral famous not only in europe but in the whole world. it's famous for its one hundred twenty three metre spire.

it is famous for its clock one of the first ever created in the world that still working. some. time in the total body of american media thought of it or a book this is where you came to souls greet to take a look at the clock and then you know some on the cello some no we plan to visit london at first and have fun there was a little bit what it at the boarding business but yes it wasn't a business trip this time. and we planned to go to london and then to salisbury as themselves mid east yes another so those are more we didn't you know but when we were almost there we thought the plane wouldn't land on the first drive that was there was a heavy snow storms but that's because of all that having they had with transport in the usa on march second and third because of heavy snow fall but nearly all the cities were paralyzed because we were unable to go anywhere. what do you work for the g.r.u. and you know and you and i don't either but no one accuses me of working for the

gerry used but you are being accused of that your colleagues accuse us of that by your colleagues journalists who are being accused by you get a story to yes that's the scariest thing where do you work you are adults you need to make a living process if we tell you about our business people we work with will be affected tell me anything so that we believe you and everyone has questions what do you do to cut a long story short if you were in the fitness industry artie's editor in chief said she didn't give her view on purpose prefer him to leave it to the viewer to decide whether to believe the man or not here's what she had to say following the interview. i knew there were nervous and sweating a lot i had to turn up the air conditioning a lot higher than usual and still there were sweating and wiping their foreheads which obviously happens when people are nervous there could be a lot of reasons for it but i understand this was the first interview in their lives but they could have been nervous for other reasons as well but that's also possible they refused to show their i.d.'s on camera because they didn't want to be

persecuted and identified further but they showed them to me it's not that i did not run a polygraph on them as a journalist i believe what they see i saw those were the people i saw their i.d.'s and that they feed the photos and videos what was going through their minds and whether they were leaking the truth which is hard to see any because a lot of things the latest development in a story has only intensified the media's finger pointing at russia. look the russians say this is all been made up by the british but you know this alibi which is very flimsy indeed is not going to convince many people now there in russia say from extradition to many here in the u.k. tonight the t.v. message from moscow was clear they got away with it in terms of of whoever ordered them to go and carry out this mission it was not a great success it looked extremely uncomfortable they did not want to be there they clearly did not appear to be really properly briefed the u.k.

has branded alexander. while the u.s. has proposed imposing a second round of sanctions on russia artist party boy amerikana been looking at the international reaction from both sides of the atlantic to resume a spokesperson has rubbish the accounts provided by alexander patrol from the share of and they've used pretty strong language to do it take a listen and blatant fabrications in this interview given to a russian state sponsored t.v. station are an insult to the public's intelligence well that same government statement goes on to say that an illegal chemical weapon was used on the streets of the country and that four people asked seriously ill in hospital and an innocent woman died and russia has responded with content now this is the second official statement that we've had from the government from downing street earlier on immediately after the interview was first add there was

a statement from the government and it was similarly scathing take a listen the government is clear these men are offices of the russian military intelligence service the g.r.u. who used to devastatingly toxic illegal chemical weapons on the streets of our country we have repeatedly asked russia to account for what happened in salzburg in march today just as we've seen throughout they have responded with obfuscation and lies so. to say that the british authorities are buying it is to say nothing at all really no one's going to be lining up to give them any acting accolades certainly not here in the u.k. all the politicians have been rather skeptical to the member of parliament for the souls breed john glenn said that soulsby welcomes tourists from around the world and it is very much open for business but the patrols the sheriff statements according to john glenn are not credible and don't match the widely accepted intelligence that the u.k.

has on these individuals so you can see that this is a spat that is getting worse and we've got to the next stage of it now because we've had a response from the russian foreign ministry spokesperson that's maria's the horror of us so she's responded to the u.k.'s response to the interview and she has some questions for the british authorities at this issue and then you've got i believe it's absolutely unacceptable to accuse people of telling lies forty minutes after they have spoken so i repeat my question directly to the british what is the legal basis and framework for accused russian citizens of telling lies forty minutes after noon to review what was the reason for that what was so specifically non-credible in what they said one official authority you accuse someone of. you must be responsible for those so again it looks like we're getting statements and counter statements but that doesn't appear to be any dialogue taking place between

london and moscow right now the u.s. is getting ready to impose more sanctions on russia in november for allegedly poisoning the script halls and that's according to assistant secretary of state nations think check out what she had to say we plan to impose a very severe second round of sanctions under the sea the global community will not tolerate behavior such as we've seen from russia especially in poisoning and. killing its own citizens we are absolutely prepared to fully implement the second round of sanctions says it will include banking sanctions a prohibition on obtaining defense articles and aid money but back in august it was stated that the second round of sanctions could include cutting diplomatic ties with russia and ing all aeroflot travel and stopping all imports and exports but things said that the second round of sanctions would not be imposed if russia commits to on site inspections we have indicated to them that they can evade the

they can make themselves not subject to these sanctions if they allow the on site inspections as you've indicated if they give us a verifiable assurance that they will not use these nerve agents against their own people again they have not done so so far it should be noted that last october the un verified the destruction of russia's chemical weapons and confirmed that all of russia's chemical weapons facilities were closed through on site inspections do you think they're going to admit that they use those goods on their own people. congressman at this point it's not even a matter of russia admitting it we we know they are you know but this all began when a former double agent and his daughter were poisoned back in march chalk was determined to be the agent used and everyone blamed russia because the agent was originally developed in the former u.s.s.r. but since ninety one it's been developed in several other countries russia has repeatedly denied involvement and has even offered to cooperate in an investigation

and the o.p.c. w. and porton down the british lab that analyzed the samples couldn't even identify the source or country of origin with all that being said all we can do right now is wait until november to see if the sanctions are indeed imposed. the potential bias of google has once again been called into question off to a leaked video showed the companies that executives expressing disappointment back in twenty sixteen don't know trumps the election when donald quarter picks up the story google's always tried to maintain a political front but a recent leaked tells a very different story and if true it outlines google's executives pick for president in the twenty sixteen presidential elections most people here are pretty upset pretty sad for. you because of the election and i certainly find the selection deeply offensive and i know many of you do too this is none

other than surrogate brin google's cofounder and if his assumption that every worker in the video was a clinton voter was upsetting it gets worse. that was the first moment entire really felt like we were going to live and it was really doing all it did feel like a ton of bricks dropped on my chest and that right there is the chief financial officer of google's parent company alphabet ruth poor at holding back tears at the thought of their election defeat but whose defeat exactly last time i checked google wasn't a wing of the democratic party nevertheless they seem to have a mutual understanding on why trump won zina phobia hatred and a desire for answers that mean it may not be there here we have senior vice president for global affairs tend to walker looks like despite google's claim to objectivity walker's got some pretty partisan views on american politics but google

maintains those are personal views ones that don't affect their product. to the rise of fascism and also to the communist revolution i think it's worth be very vigilant in thinking about all these issues what can we do to to lead. maybe a better quality of governance decision making and so forth solid explanation of ideologies that shaped the twenty first century survey but fair enough google is looking for ways to make the world better but that hasn't stopped the flow of accusations that their strategy is politically biased like that time google removed a pro-life singers music video on you tube. i had known. and you tube's move to hit popular users before conservative users especially presidents not draining the dime with this it was going to be it bottles enough to

make it a movie. but there are some at google who don't agree with the company's liberal leanings james to moore a conservative engineer wrote a memo just a memo to highlight potential bias in google's policy and he was fired for it google has several biases a new discussion about these biases is being silenced by the dominant ideology what follows is by no means the complete story but it's a perspective the desperately needs to be told google google has always claimed its hands were collina when it came to political bias hate speech or other inappropriate content the company always claimed it had its reasons but with insight into what the top brass at google is apparently thinking perhaps it's time for a better understanding of what bias are really means quarter r.t.

. the founder of the walk away campaign brandon straka found him found bound from facebook this week it came off the head now with an interview with the controversial info media platform the band however was lifted late. off to walk away is a viral campaign on facebook encouraging liberal americans to leave the democratic party the movement involves over one hundred eighty thousand members brandon straka told r.t. this is spend shouldn't devastated his ability to reach his audience to lose my platform that way is devastating and essentially i think that what they're trying to do is to sabotage the walkaway march on washington using this info wars word as the catalyst to do it why should i be banned from using my social media platform for using the word info wars i was in even state i wasn't stating an opinion i wasn't being controversial i wasn't being provocative i was literally alerting the

members of my group that i was about to do an interview on a website. info was a site run by controversial radio host alex jones it racked up more than one and a half billion views on faith on you tube however the platform was repeatedly criticized for promoting conspiracy theories and especially using hate rhetoric domo trump has previously expressed support for alex jones at various social networks banned him and his media outlet for violating bad policies twitter recently announced he was being banned permanently i think the base book is using its policies completely inconsistently because these bans and blocks and suppression only seem to affect people on the right they seem to only affect conservatives they never seem to have any impact on liberals or people on the left i never see them getting banned or suppressed it's time for action and to push for freedom of speech i mean this is what this is really about with their suppressing

free speech he has requested a comment from facebook about why brendan struck as the count was banned well you know what they say if we get any response. but back after this very short break stay with us. i'm trying to say that in reality before we take action force you are through the action like energy efficiency renewable energy you do actually generate the more money and the more draw and the with higher carb it grows so i want to change the story line that claim with extra is not a bad for the economy or your own money but claim it actually do the beneficial

good positive make you money or you'll. join me every thursday on the elec simon short and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. welcome back the u.s. state department has praised saudi arabia's actions to reducing violence in yemen saying we are just doing what it can to minimize civilian casualties there be see them taking steps isn't perfect no absolutely not do we see them doing what they

can to mitigate civilian casualties absolutely we do. well the comments came after the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei of certified to congress the saudi led coalition is undertaking demonstrably actions well the answer to fixation allows washington to continue providing aid to riyadh and its war against rebels and al-qaeda terrorists in yemen and saudi led bombing campaign against who think rebels which they deemed terrorist started back in twenty fifteen with substantial support from the us government militant groups like al qaida which washington has been fighting against for nearly two decades have taken advantage of the crisis capturing areas in the south of yemen r t z goshdarn of looks into how the u.s. approach in fighting al qaeda differs depending on the region or the motive. al qaeda a whole generation of americans grew up with these two words engraved in their minds

since preschool years two words that have seen hundreds of thousands of u.s. troops fanned out all over the globe with an uncompromising objective to defeat terror. for the past few years one battleground yemen some four thousand troops in the country even now and that's enough for the u.s. to turn a blind eye to schools hospitals and homes flattened by saudi bombs the administration's policy is to focus on ending the war and avoiding a regional conflict countering the threat from the islamic state of iraq in syria in yemen and al qaeda in the arabian peninsula but yemen is just the latest in a sequel which started back in two thousand and one in afghanistan where a force of between two and five thousand dollars to fight has ignited the now

infamous war on terror on my orders the united states military has begun strikes against al qaeda terrorist training camps and military installations of the taliban regime in afghanistan today we focus on afghanistan but the battle is broader at that point obviously it was a way to rally the country to to create you know a much larger military for the united states at that point between about two thousand and twenty eleven the united states spent about one point three trillion on its wars in iraq and afghanistan but al qaeda is biggest is not in yemen it's not in afghanistan it's in syria's northern prove. libya is a province just the largest al qaeda safe haven since nine eleven and it live now is a huge problem it is an al qaeda safe haven right on the border of turkey the u.n.

estimates al qaida is fortress manned by at least ten thousand offshoot fighters that's at least twice as many as in afghanistan back at the dawn of the war on terror yet washington is no merely as trigger happy as one would expect while we had three meetings in the security council on syria to sternness warnings came down from most members of the security council telling them that not just chemical weapons would be addressed by the united states and our allies but any offensive on the civilian people and lead was going to be dealt with when russia and the assad regime say they want to counterterrorism they actually mean they want to bomb schools hospitals and homes the obama administration had already loosened rules of engagement in the war against islamic state in syria

and iraq to permit more killing of civilians in the bombing campaign that the u.s. conducted they expended over one hundred thousand bombs and missiles to destroy cities like rocka and mosul president trump has reportedly loosened the rules of engagement further america's humanitarian concern for syria is remarkable especially in the sense that it's seemingly peripheral elsewhere except the terrorists don't exactly share washington's geographical discernment. and fire mental activists fighting to protect an ancient woodland in germany have clashed with police after all parties attempted to clear their treehouse count they've occupied the site for years as part of a bid to block the building of a coal mine there.

let this is one of the old dos and richest mixed forests in central europe this being the first day because arguably one some mind here. at atlanta. so in this far east we see many of the contemporary structures intersect the way that w. call it street extraction costs the climate change shift from early infects people off the global south. where before there were some long structures here competing towns colors fireplaces and a storage platform they had permission to clear the barricades and guard which only but they went way beyond that the competition store shelters and took everything

they could to try and nights want to containers bicycles tools and fruit. and we cleared the barricades and vacated the treehouses we got people down from the trees all in all we're pleased up until now with how the operation is going because it's been practically free of violence. i think it's the police screaming and i zero zero zero zero zero zero resistance. to your case the swiss finally sent her fish. and. went back with the latest the top of down.

with the advent of the trump presidency much has been said about america's cultural wars even a new civil war the country is clearly divided but trump didn't do this on his own there are two americas you know and he says. i. know this and. i'm just not i said. this is your money and. so there was a bill to up. into him around. the house but by then i. was going to put the little guy we. don't want out of the money i don't know i don't want to worry about. something to worry. about mr need to.

own. a shuttle stem and we have been down. in the world. you know that a little warmth and you know what. shall i do. this i don't. hello welcome to sophie and co and sophie shevardnadze the politicians and businessmen are gathering here at the mr. for him and to russia's far east but outside its halls a bigger question looms climate change as lord violent storms and heat waves

advance care we really do something about it and get our act together well i talked to a nobel peace prize winner and a member of the intergovernmental committee on climate change write quote chung. is the effects of climate change become harder to ignore with record breaking heat waves and dangerous storms the need for actions becoming desperate governments around the world continue to linger unable to follow a single strategy how much longer will the planet allow us to wait what can finally breathe humanity to take action against manmade climate change he said already too late to stop time. poster child thank you very much for being with us today it's a great pleasure let's talk about let's start with climate change because it's such a huge topic and people are divided on it for instance the summer the world the world went through and now they're breaking the record records and it's summer in

europe it seems to get worse and worse so is this climate change action is this what it looks like it feels like to me i have been following the climate change issues for more than twenty years and we have been given the warning from nine to ninety is that the climate change you are becoming but now i say that it has already arrived from. forty degree and we never experienced this kind of way but it is not only in korea. greece portugal and even united states or suffering from terrible draw to as well as wildfires no i think these are really showing the earth is really showing you saying greed and fury to the word that they are really getting serious climate change so the beginning of a new risk the climate crisis so i heard a u.n. secretary general.
