aeroflot russian and lyons. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. the u.s. imposing new sanctions on china for a buying russian military hardware wild more of washington's allies are also considering the same purchases. also ahead on the program this hour a father in germany say he's lost faith in the rule of law in his country carsten hempel song died after a fight with refugees which prosecutors really self defense. here take

a look here this born my son has already been knocked out is that self-defense is that self-defense. is really smart phone software designed to try criminals has been discovered in phones in countries around the world critics say on scrupulous governments groups are also using it to snoop on civilians. plus the new york times issues special report on russia's alleged interference in america's twenty sixteen presidential election. journalistic. ironic clock across the world this is r.t. international from the team and myself you know me

a welcome to the program our top story washington has imposed sanctions on the chinese military for buying russian fighter jets and surface to air missiles that is while some u.s. allies have also been considering the same purchases picks up the story will continue to vigorously implement countering america's adversaries through sanctions act and urge all countries to curtail relationships with russians defense and intelligence sectors both of which alington the line into. this world want china slapped with sanctions in response to their purchase of s. thirty five su thirty five fighter jets as well as an ass 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 s 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 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 cats 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. one 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 tahrir and iraq the question must be raised why is it that china 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 or third historian gerald horne believes the chinese 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. all right let's turn our attention to germany where

a father is appealing to authorities to relaunch the investigation into his son's death almost a year ago marcus temple died after a fight with four refugees on the c.c.t.v. footage marcus seen and block here and his friend are shown with a group of migrants it was later judged have been self-defense on the part of the migrants but his father claimed security camera video shows a different scenario peter all of us spoke to the dead man's father. 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. and we got them all 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 and 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

your fifth 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 here but the state 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 say 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. and this released surveillance software to capable of accessing microphones cameras and other data has been trucked to forty five countries right around the globe researchers think a tool designed to track criminals is being misused by governments to snoop on innocent civilians fall asleep or as the story i'm hearing had severe 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 o. s. or android person your phone could become a target before he becomes a spy. camera but michael text message is it anything else on the for those who are susceptible to monitor this is how pegasus works the

target perceive a text message with a special nick one click on it and the spy ware if he could be downloaded to your smartphone from then on all your private data personal messages passwords 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 cartel lords facilitated complex crime investigations and return kidnapped children to their parents. but internet research has from citizen lab embarked on a 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 north against cross border 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 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 dry areas speculation already surrounding trump's first in office the new york times is on fire for its hefty reports on russia's alleged interference in the us election in twenty six thing we brits are involved article after this. it's seemed wrong why don't we all just don't call. me. yet to stamp out this day become educated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

we want a strong european union based on strong member states and we want a europe which sticks to its christian heritage so number one we don't want europe to get rid of the christian heritage and we want the member states to stay as member states we don't want off you know give up our nationality we don't want to give up or cause sure we don't blow you up or there is a gentleman before. seventy minutes into the program welcome back the new york times has published a colossal special report the scribing russia's alleged interference in the twenty

sixteen us presidential election i don't the ten thousand words in the article the word alleged is used only twice with the story instead of partly betraying many unproven accusations as facts delved into the report. a way 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 an outreach to trump campaign associates two thousand and sixteen an anonymous banners hung from a bridge are the suspected work of moscow the link russian bought sharing images online this is russia's way of bragging to the world that donald trump was their

man but what seems strange here is that a sincere conclusion and the unraveling continues the line blurs between accusations and hard fact here we have the indictments of those quizzed in the moeller investigation that same den moscow march the fifteenth a veteran hacker named evanier mccall of a russian military intelligence officer working for secret outfits called unit two six one six five began probing the computer network of the democrats going to tional committee hitting nine states in three weeks and some at twenty fourteen and a book of trover 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 all 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 play. fingers today there is no doubt to hack the d.n.c. and the clinton campaign a detailed indictment of the twelve offices of russia's military intelligence agency filed in july 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 nuclear deal with iran but earlier this year donald trump quit the agreement sparking international condemnation. a former advisor to ron's nuclear negotiating team told us that this spirit between pompei o one kerry reflects a deep rift within the u.s. establishment. as far as mr kerry is concerned he has been

a pause to a number of foreign policy positions are beside ministration 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 term by attacking him on foreign policy issues including iran so i think that the iran issue is part of a broader set of foreign policy issues. will you know given the country before. as we draw closer to the midterm elections in november. the generation being born is the last to be free that's the bleak prediction of wiki leaks editor julian assange it appears in the latest video since his access to the outside world was cut in march by the

ecuadorian embassy in london he's been holed up there for the past six years a son's 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 choose channel or on r.t. dot com. you're going to freak out a little bit because yes i'm bringing in the aliens into this part of the talk all establishment are in some sense hypocritical and rely on. keeping a different interior world to exterior presentation i don't think it's really possible for when i say sions to come up with borders. that are predictable and often 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 for the most human was have come about as a result of lies and that seems absolutely clear in democracy 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 phenomena and that's the way to get. all those people who have an ability to make a difference to make a difference just time lining things during a songe entered the embassy building to avoid extradition to sweden where he was accused of rape a un panel later described the situation as arbitrary detention meaning no proper due process of law has been implemented in twenty seven dame 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 march saying he was jeopardizing their international relations we spoke to a scientist lawyer about his living conditions on the status of his case.

he has been inside a building for the past six years without access to sunlight or out so 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 is if he's in 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 being granted by the ecuadorian government. he has spent more than six years. under some forms of restriction on his liberty as a result of the investigation that is now being dropped he has already spent far more time in prison and he would ever have been required to for having. answered

the embassy condition all right let's catch up with sophie shevardnadze next then find dog which newsmaker she is talking to on sophie and co this is. the list and. i said. to go. in. there in the building go up. in the him and i. look. at both of these guys we look at what was going on out in the morning i don't
