it's crazy. talk. this hour's headlines stories on our china washington will face consequences for the u.s. imposed new sanctions beijing purchase of russian military hardware. in germany saying he's lost faith in the rule of law in his country carsten hempel song after a fight with refugees which prosecutors. take

a look here at this point my son has already been knocked out is that self-defense is that self-defense. is really smart phone software designed to criminal been discovered in phones in countries around the world critics say on scrupulous governments are also using insists on civilians. plus the new york times issues special reports on russia's alleged interference in america's twenty six thousand presidential election the articles. on the world every hour of the day is r t international my names you know neal your company this hour's top story the united states has imposed sanctions on china for

buying russian fighter jets on surface to air missiles beijing reacted furiously saying washington will face the consequences if it doesn't immediately reverse the move meanwhile it comes as more u.s. allies have joined the queue to acquire moscow's another tree hardware picking up the story. we will continue to vigorously implement countering america's advice service through sanctions act and urge all countries to curtail relationships with russians defense and intelligence sectors both of which to mine activities worldwide china slapped with sanctions in response to their purchase of s. 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 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 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 despite the sanctions imposed by washington china double done saying it will nonetheless continue strategic cooperation while author and historian general torne believes that beijing is strong enough to handle an american and. 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. turning our attention to germany where a father there is appealing to authorities to really launch an investigation into his son's death almost a year ago marcus hempel died following a fight involving for refugees on this c.c.t.v. footage marcus in block maybe you can just make him and his friends 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 claimed security camera video shows a different scenario peter all of us spoke to him. 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 shock 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 that's among youth 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 they're not members of any party all the 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 at 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 arc did 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. here take a look here this boy and my son has already been knocked out is that self-defense is that self defense. the police talk about multiple hits 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 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 insist that they have not received justice for the killing of their son peter all of a r.t. rittenberg. to another of this hour's headlines stories on this really surveillance software tool capable of accessing microphones cameras and other data has been tracked to forty five countries now around the globe researchers think that the two designed to track criminals is being misused by governments to snoop on innocent civilians with more on the story here's paula sleeper. i mean here you had sylvia just north of the israeli city of tel aviv and this building is home to an israeli company called it is so group 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 that's on the other side of it campbell that michael text message is anything else on the for those who 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 spyware is 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 privacy and some countries laws against cross border hackers citizen lab tracked them away in as many as forty five countries among them six states with a history of abusing spyware to target civilian society.

citizen lab says at least ten pegasus operators are involved in cross border surveillance israel's friend and 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 fired several possible pegasus customers not linked to the united states but with infections in the u.s. it is possible that several countries may be actively violating united states' law by penetrating devices located within the u.s. any so group is a pretty secretive firm you're hard to 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 coming and are still waiting to see

our teeth. or just on this 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 that should be annoyed. that they're using it purely for constructive even globally meager purposes many people have been using hacking tools for a very long time to do legal acts all over the world and why would that be different when using this particular software or the government's one to use. software to do legal and illegal acts in the country and in other countries will always be able to do what. 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 meet donald trump in june last year here's daniel hawkins 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 remain firmly in global headlines so get in that chats 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 no correction or apology was issued the allegation that the claimant was guilty of serious corruption is self evidently an extremely grave and serious one it has also caused him considerable distress and embarrassment since yeah negation 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 more of friday's news in one thousand seconds time stay with us. i've been saying the numbers mean some things 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 rich eight point six percent market so thirty percent your home with four hundred to five hundred per

second per second and twenty rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember one one shows you can't afford to miss the one and only. the new york times has published a moment special report describing russia's alleged interference in the twenty sixteen us presidential election it's all 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 us fox. delve further 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 even your macaw of a russian military intelligence officer 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 of twenty fourteen and a book of trover and alexandre crawl 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 details and documents the twelve offices of russia's military intelligence agency felt in july mr mullah 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 there is page after page of the stuff here's some of the quick highlights. putin may have won trump the election but who knows that meeting with trump jr in a russian lar was to get rid of anti russia's think 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 mullens 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 u.s. election and there are plenty of accusations that russia is responsible you know lots of reaction on this including from independent journalist former correspondent for the wall street journal joe lauria who say's the article fails to meet basic journalistic standards. one of the foundations 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 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 this 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. writes another story now gathering pace the u.s. secretary of state has lost one of his predecessors mike pump

a zero accuse john kerry of trying to undermine the trumpet ministration by meeting with a rini and officials that's after kerry admitted to meeting the remaining foreign minister on at least three occasions since leaving office in twenty seventy. 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 sitting around talking about waiting out the president. well in a tweet donald trump wrote that kerry's top. with iran were illegal and once again blasted the arena government as a hostile regime he claimed the meetings 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 as secretary of state from twenty thirteen to seventeen john kerry was closely involved in the on the twenty fifteen nuclear deal with iran but earlier this year donald trump quit that agreement sparking international condemnation of a former advisor to iran nuclear negotiating team told us that this spirit between pompei o and kerry reflects a deep rift within the u.s. establishment. as far as mr kerry is concerned yaz 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 but 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. that will you know diddly come to the foreground as we draw our course into the mid-term elections in november. the generation being born now 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 half a dozen years a songe 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 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 pool or establishment or in some sense. hypocritical and rely on. keeping

a different interior world exterior presentation i don't think it's really possible for guys asians to come up with borders. that are predictable enough and 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 to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bathroom 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 for watching the hawks.
