it has been discovered in phones in countries around the world critics say unscrupulous governments and other groups are also using it to snoop on civilians. i. from moscow to the world this is your r t international my names you know neil welcome to the program our top story the new york times has published a colossal special report describing russia's alleged interference in the twenty sixteen us presidential election of the ten thousand words in the article the word alleged is used only twice with the story instead of partly portraying many unproven accusations as facts jaclyn to get delved into the report away to unravel the russia story so far the new york times special report into the saga looks impressive masses of subsections fancy photo shopping and multiple timelines

and they all lead back to a kremlin conspiracy to get its man in the white house as mr trump emerged in spring twenty sixteen as the improbable favorite for the republican nomination the russian operation accelerated on three fronts the hacking and leaking of democratic documents massive fraud on facebook and twitter and outreach to trump campaign associates its two thousand and sixteen and anonymous banners hung from a bridge are the suspected work of moscow the link russian bots sharing images online this is russia's way of bragging to the world but donald trump was their man but what seems strange here is that a sincere conclusion of the unraveling continues the line blurs between accusations and hard fact here we have the indictment of those quizzed in the mall or investigation that same den moscow march the fifteenth a veteran hacker named evanier mccall of a russian military intelligence of. so working for secret outfits called unit two

six one six five began probing the computer network of the democratic national committee hitting nine states in three weeks and some at twenty fourteen and a book of georgia and alexandra kirk all over was supposed to gather intelligence to help the mimic american some facebook and twitter the evidence is all their names dates and motives again from indictments now i'm sure the new york times isn't willing to accept miller's word as gospel but things seem a little too dramatic perhaps even for president putin putin is angry the russian leader thought the united states and hillary clinton had sought to undermine his presidency and there are plenty more where that came from somehow i doubt the russian president handed over and i hate hillary diary to the new york times but the bombshell d.n.c. hack thanks again to those indictments allowed a special report to point fingers today there is no doubt to hack the d.n.c. and the clinton campaign a detailed indictment of twelve offices of russia's military intelligence agency

felt in july that mr muller documents the every move let's put aside the fact that the information exposed real issues in the democratic party not ones dreamt up or spun by trolls something else worth noting but the report doesn't is only a company called crowd strike hired by the d.n.c. had access to their servers the f.b.i. and mueller at the mercy of their findings because those servers were wiped clean why good question this piece of the puzzle also adds another russian name to the saga of pizza an ally named constantine record of had begun promoting mr trump as a future president and twenty twelve and created a russian language website three years later to support his candidacy so men you've likely never heard of made a pro trump website years ago in russian and there is page after page of the stuff here's some of the quick highlights. putin may have one trump. election but

who knows that meeting will trump jr in a russian law or was to get rid of anti russia saying sions but was that all trump is correct when he tweets in all caps that no collusion proof has been found but we just wrote a whole article about it i think you get the picture and all fairness the new york times does have an argument as to why there is so little public information to back them up it's just not been made public mr mullins prosecutors only rarely go public with the evidence they've been steadily gathering in secret interviews and closed sessions of a grand jury as you build a picture in this russia riddle it seems unnamed sources have shaped it almost entirely so the take away from this two years ago donald trump won the us election and there are plenty of accusations that russia is responsible. yeah there's been lots of reaction to this including from independent journalist and former correspondent for the wall street journal jul oriya he say's the article fails to meet basic journalistic standards one of the nations of reporting journalism

one o one is there are two sides to every story and an indictment or an accusation even from government is only that an accusation and an indictment and it needs to be proven in a court of law and you always use the word alleged when discussing whatever the government alleges that someone else has done that's proven in the court of law then it's a conviction but until that happens it is not fact it is not proven it is not the truth it is an allegation and that's all we've got from the miller indictments are allegations have to report the indictment obviously but that doesn't mean that it's true and yes that is what they've done their ethics here are abominable because they have taken and they're not the only want c.n.n. they're all doing that they're taking this as fact when it's only an accusation i think they realize they're in trouble and their reputation is at stake so they have to stick to their stand not going to reverse themselves and begin to say well we really got some of this wrong that were destroyed their reputation their credibility in a journalist lives on the reputation of credibility of course the public suffers.

for it let's turn our attention to germany where the father is appealing to authorities to relaunch the investigation into his son's death almost a year ago markets have old died after a fight with four refugees on this c.c.t.v. footage marcus here in black and his friend are shown with the group of migrants it was later judged to have been self-defense on the part of the migrants but his father claims security camera video shows the difference and peter all of us spoke to carsten paul. carson hempel son marcus was killed last year here in vicksburg after an altercation with migrants when he spoken out about his grievances and demonstrations he found himself labeled a nazi. as they came forward on stage i politely asked the audience to show

a little respect so i could tell the story of my son right in front of me there was a group of asylum seekers with a coordinator who was showing them how to hold posters up properly and what slogans to show imagine how i felt as a father when you see syrian asylum seekers who came from the same country as the person who killed my son and they called me a nazi it was insane they'll evolve government money that comes from my taxes every month to pay for people like that. his son is also being painted as a white nationalist by some media outlets those among you in germany people are labelled left or right and this is the biggest mistake there is the overwhelming majority of people are centrist in their political ideals because they're not members of any party only one is their voice to be heard obviously it is their right to demonstrate peacefully on the street i criticize equally the people who do hitler sell it's follow other insane agendas and public events it simply doesn't belong here. carlson has big problems with the discrepancies in the versions of

events prosecutors ultimately decided that the syrian man marketed in self defense of all i believe the way the story was presented was planned from the beginning imagine that in a city with so many tourists suddenly news comes out that a young german has been killed by four syrian asylum seekers from my point of view they wanted to keep it quite the incident was caught in quite explicit detail on c.c.t.v. and mr hempel insists that this shows a different scene than the want to trade in legal documents showing here take a look here at this point my son has already been knocked out is that self-defense is that self defense. the police talk about multiple hits but this t. prosecutor says there was only a single hit the doesn't match either the state prosecutors in germany can't count or they're lying in this uming that they all have a higher education i would see that they are lying on the twenty ninth of september

a memorial service will be held to mark the one year anniversary of the hempel family insists that they have not received justice for the killing of their son peter all over r.t. rittenberg. the generation being born now is the last to be free that's the bleak prediction of wiki leaks editor julian a songe it appears in the last video he made before his access to the outside world was cut by the ecuadorian embassy in london where he's been holed up since twenty twelve he also covers a range of topics from the future of artificial intelligence to modern cyber threats for the full hour long version you can watch on our you tube channel or an r.t. dot com you're going to freak out a little bit because yes i'm bringing in the aliens into this are the all establishment. hypocritical and rely on. keeping a different interior world to exterior presentation i don't think it's really

possible for when a zation is to come up with borders. that are predictable enough in stable enough to eliminate conflict before there will be more conflict is something very unstable about technologically advanced civilization that means it doesn't go on for long as most human was have come about as a result of lies and that seems absolutely clear in democracies i'm a fan of the idea of intelligence agencies because it has the word intelligence in it to limit the notion that there's a place that powerful people can hide from or skilled people can hide from this phenomenon and that's the way to get. all those people who have an ability to make a difference to make a difference julie innocent entered the embassy building to avoid extradition to sweden where he is accused of rape a u.n. panel later described the situation as arbitrary detention meaning essentially no proper due process of law has been implemented and twenty seventeen the allegations

against the sons were suspended but he still faces arrest if he leaves the embassy for breaching his u.k. bail conditions ecuador cut off his internet access back in marching he was jeopardizing their international relations we spoke to the son just lawyer about his living conditions on the status of this case. we have been making a number of appeals both to the british government through the ecuadorian government and more broadly about his health situation he has been inside a building for the past six years without access to sunlight or outdoor area to exercise his health is deteriorating we're worried about permanent impact on his health as a result of the situation if he was in prison he would being required to have an hour outside every day that is a un standard he's not had that he's had a number of health conditions including a shoulder which isn't he's an incredible pain he needs an m.r.i. that is not the sort of thing that you can bring to into the embassy has been

appealed by doctors to the british medical association appealing to them to allow him the health care that he needs and the british government continues to say he will not get that kind of medical treatment he must come out of the embassy and in order to get that medical treatment he must give up the right to asylum that he's been granted by the ecuadorian government. he has spent more than six years. under some forms of restriction on his liberty as a result of that investigation that has now been dropped he has already spent far more time in prison and he would ever have been required to for having entered the embassy conditions we say he has served time and he has he had a reasonable excuse and that this is this is a minor offense the fact the real issue is and has always been the concern about u.s. extradition we are concerned about the prospect that he may well be sent to the u.s. and what treatment he would suffer once he's there we know that chelsea manning the alleged source of recruits material was subjected to inhuman degrading treatment

according to the un special rapporteur and we're concerned that joint if he is sent to the united states will face a long and drawn out process and it will take many years before we are able to make the arguments that we know should and should win which is the constitutional argument that he has the right to the first amendment for his publishing activities no publishers should have to face this join such as always said that he's happy to face british justice but not at the risk of facing american injustice we entirely accept that he can and will face any process within the u.k. related to potential bio proceedings but he should be able to do that with the assurance that he will not be extradited to the united states to face prosecution for having exercise internationally protect the rights of free speech to publish material in the public interest. the u.s. has imposed sanctions on the chinese military for buying russian fighter jets on surface tour again up the story go bargain. we will continue to vigorously

implement america's adding service through sanctions act and urge all countries to curtail relationships with russians defense and intelligence sectors both of which to mine activities world want china slapped with sanctions in response to their purchase of thirty of the su thirty five fighter jets as well as an s. four hundred missile system now heather nauert the spokesperson for the u.s. state department says this is about deterring countries around the world from doing business with russia's defense industry and china is not the only country in the world to have purchased the s. four hundred missile system from russia it's important to note that turkey which is a member of nato and a longtime u.s. ally has also purchased the ass four hundred missile system now heather nauert was pressed on that and this is what she said you know it goes against our policy to

have a nato ally such as turkey use an ass four hundred system part of the problem with that it is that it is not in iraq proposal with other nato systems and so we are against the having some of our partners and allies around the world potentially purchase that's for hundreds and it would trigger cat society and i'm not going to get into that but we have made very clear what could trigger sanctions for other countries and entities around the world but it's not just turkey in fact india is currently in the final stages of purchasing an s. four hundred missile system of its own and there are a number of us allies around the world that are also planning to buy as four hundred missile systems we will look at it saudi arabia a very key ally of the united states in the middle east is in the process of buying us four hundred missiles so is could tahrir and iraq the question must be raised why is it that shi'a is being slapped with sanctions for its purchasing not just of the s four hundred but also the su thirty five jet fighter. but the question is why

are these other countries not being subject to sanctions is the united states actually prepared to enforce these sanctions across the board against anyone who would buy these missile systems or is it being enforced selectively. author and historian gerald horne believes that china's economy is strong enough to handle an american hit there is a lot of hysteria right now in united states about the prospect of china being in the passing lane that is to say surpassed the united states in terms of having the number one economy on planet earth this has to be consider when contemplating the news story that we're now discussing if this particular escalation of washington's part continues that it's no telling what the ultimate result will bring you know that china purchases hundreds of biggins of dollars and has hundreds of billions of dollars in u.s. treasury bills which are used to finance the u.s.

government everything from the post office to the pentagon even though there is concern in china that dumping these treasury bills will harm chinese investment in this commercial paper there is more talk in beijing that this is in store and in fact perhaps china curbing future purchases of u.s. treasury bills if that takes place united states what you don't have to cut programs or raise taxes in washington because not one to embark on either path i'm afraid to say that china can probably absorb more pain than the united states can at this particular moment so i would hope that washington would not take the dangers. the ukrainian president is to assume british broadcaster the b.b.c. will tell you why in ninety seconds.

you know world's 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 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 for watching closely watching the hawks. make this manufactured to send to the public well. when the ruling class is protect themselves. the family. lives only the one percent. can all middle of the

room sit. twenty minutes past nine am here in moscow this friday welcome back the president of ukraine is preparing to take on the b.b.c. petro poroshenko is suing britain's national broadcaster for libel over allegations he paid a hefty sum to me trump in june last year here's daniel hawkins with more. getting that one on one meeting with the leader of the free world himself is a priority for many world leaders as it was for ukraine's president poroshenko last summer russia and ukraine remained firmly in global headlines so get in that chat handshake and photo opportunity with trump early some say before vladimir putin was

crucial. as new sanctions against russia were announced and the president spoke of how productive discussions had been some officials behind the scenes may have breathed a sigh of relief mission accomplished but reports emerged at the meeting that may have been arranged unconventionally according to the b.b.c. diplomatic routes would have given poroshenko little more than a photo opportunity so ukrainian officials opened a back channel through a chain of contacts including trump's lawyer michael cohen now facing numerous federal charges to secure that tete a tete and the latter would take a handsome cut for penciling a meeting into trump's story allegedly around four hundred thousand dollars now the story citing top official sources in ukraine featured on the b.b.c. back in may this year but it seems the ukrainian president's office wasn't happy

with the revelations the head of state's office is apparently suing the broadcast the for libel since low correction or apology was issued the allegation that the claimant was guilty of serious corruption is self evidently in extremely grave and serious one it has also caused him considerable distress and embarrassment since yeah the geishas strikes at the core of his personal dignity and integrity. understandably all parties involved have denied any such shady dealings ever took place the b.b.c. couldn't offer any more details on the allegations although the ukrainian side has confirmed the high court case whatever the outcome it's sure to add to a cocktail of intrigue gray areas and speculation already surrounding trump's first in office. and this released surveillance software tool capable of accessing microphones cameras and other data has been tracked to forty five

countries around the globe some of which have less than a stellar human rights record researchers think a tool designed to track criminals is being misused by governments to snoop on innocent civilians here spotlessly or with more. i'm him had sylvia just north of the israeli city of tel aviv and this building is home to an israeli company called it is so crude which develops and sells one of the most invasive spy ways in the world the software is called pegasus and it doesn't matter whether you're an i.s.o. android person you'll phone could become a target the phone becomes a spy it campbell that michael text message is it anything else on the phone or close to it are susceptible to monitor this is how pegasus works the target perceives a text message with a special nick one click on it and the spy ware is secretly downloaded to your smartphone from then on all your private datta personal messages pos words just

about everything is being sent back to the operator so who are the targets according to any so group its software is designed to track criminals are products of say the lives of thousands of people prevented suicide terror attacks helped convict drug lords facilitated complex crime investigations and return kidnapped children to their parents but internet research has from citizen lab in bought on the hunt for pegasus and according to them it does not serve only a good cause instead it may be breaching innocent people's prophecies and some countries laws against cross border ahead because citizen lab tracked them away in as many as forty five countries among them six states with a history of abusing spy way to target civilian society.

citizen lab says at least ten pegasus operators are involved in cross border surveillance israel's friend an ally the united states they say is no exception this despite the fact that the firm says its software was not designed to work in the u.s. we have a den of fide several possible pegasus customers not linked to the united states but with infections in the us it is possible that several countries may be actively violating united states' law by penetrating devices located within the u.s.

and if so group is a pretty secretive firm you'll hardly find any ads for its products according to the new york times who obtained papers from people who had dealings with the group its proposal says you can remotely and covertly collect information about your targets relationships location phone calls plans and activities whenever and wherever they are as we can see the last part doesn't appear to be quite true and the risk is a little scary we approached the company for comment and are still waiting for a c.r.t. put syria well a security expert we spoke to says it is no surprise that governments misuse software for snooping. if you're telling them to all government i think it should be north. that they're using really constructive or even a little bit legal purposes many people have been using hacking tools for a very long time to do legal it's all over the world and why would it be different when using. government one to use software to

do legal and illegal acts in their own company in another country they'll always be able to do that no matter what other countries think about it. the u.s. secretary of state houses. of his previous answers might pump a zero accuse john kerry of trying to undermine the trumpet ministration by meeting with arena fish ils that's after kerry admitted to meeting the iranian foreign minister at least three occasions since leaving office in twenty seven to one thing to meet with your counterpart it's another thing to do what secretary kerry wendy sherman or this money's frankly the whole gang has done which is to actively seek to undermine what president trump is trying to achieve you have been telling the iranians to wait out the pressure president trump and the administration and to wait until there's a democratic president in twenty twenty one is that accurate. i think everybody in

the world is going around talking about waiting out. yeah in a tweet donald trump himself cherry's talks with iran were illegal and once again blasted the arena government as a hostile regime he claimed the meetings quote undercut great work to the detriment of the american people the president also asked whether john kerry was registered as a foreign agent for his actions. well secretary of state between twenty thirteen to twenty seven john kerry was closely involved in the negotiations on the twenty fifteen nuclear deal with iran but earlier this year donald trump quit the agreement sparking international condemnation. a former adviser to iran's nuclear negotiating team told us the dispute between pompei on kerry reflects a deep rift within the u.s. establishment. as far as mr kerry is concerned yaz been opposed to a number of foreign policy positions of this administration therefore this issue

how the growing political division within the united states and the fact that the democrats feel an opportunity to undermine president trump's presidency and his prospects for a second them by attacking him on foreign policy issues including iran so i think that the iranian issue is part of a broader circle foreign policy issues. with the company. as we draw closer to the midterm elections in november well that's it for me for no but larry king's latest episode of politicking is up in moments and then do join me again in thirty with more of the news making friday's headlines.
