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 track criminals has been discovered in phones in countries around the world and critics say on street blues governments are also using it as a stood on civilians. plus the new york times issues a lengthy special reports on russia's alleged interference in america's twenty sixteen presidential election the articles being slum for poor ethics on journalistic standards. midday here in the russian capital wherever you're churning in from a run the world this hour welcome to our t.v. international union o'neill our top story. the united states hands impose sanctions

on china for a buying russian fighter jets on surface to air missiles beijing reacted furiously saying washington will face consequences if it doesn't immediately reverse the move meanwhile more u.s. allies have joined the queue to acquire moscow's military hardware picking up the story kill up and. we will continue to vigorously implement through america's admin 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 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 robel 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. four hundred missile system of its own and there are a number of u.s. 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 shina 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 beijing double done saying it will nonetheless continue strategic cooperation while author and historian gerald horne believes that china is a common me is strong enough to underline 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 dangerous. right turning attention to germany where a father is appealing to authorities to relaunch the investigation into his son's death almost one year ago marcus hempel died following a fight involving for refugees on the c.c.t.v. footage marcus here in black and his friend are shown with a 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 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. 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 all stories 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 but 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 are not members of any party all the one is their voice to be heard obviously it is our right to demonstrate peacefully on the street i criticize equally the people who do hitler

salads or follow other insane agendas at public events it simply doesn't belong here. carlsen 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 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 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. right to another story that's got her attention today on this really surveillance software tool capable of accessing microphones cameras and other data has been tracked to forty five countries around the globe researchers think the tool designed to track criminals is being misused by governments to snoop on innocent civilians all the slayer 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 the becomes

a spy. camera but michael text message is anything else on the phone or so that 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 spyware 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 rich. turn kidnapped children to their parents but internet for searches from citizen lab embarked on hunt for pegasus and according to them it does not serve only

a good cause instead it may be preaching innocent people's privacy and some countries laws against cross the border hackers citizen lab tracked them away in as many as forty five countries among them six states with a history of 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 consider would distress an embarrassment since

you have a geisha it 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 a quarter past the midday here in moscow still to come on the program the new york times is under fire for its hefty report on russia's alleged interference in the u.s. election in twenty sixteen we break it down. you

know world's big partners movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart 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. make this manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final merry go round be the one percent. in the middle of the room sick.

with our to international here in moscow the new york times has published a mom with a special report this scribing russia's alleged interference in the twenty sixteen us presidential election it's 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 fox delving 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 its two thousand and sixteen and 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 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 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 democrats going arsenal committee hitting nine states in three weeks and some of 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 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 would trump jr in a russian law or was to get rid of anti russia's think sions but was that all trump is correct when he tweets and all accounts 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 prosecutes is 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. plenty of reaction to this one including from independent journalist and former correspondent for the wall street journal joel loria who say yes 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 that an indictment or an accusation even from government is only that an 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 taking 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. the u.s. secretary of state has lost one of his predecessors like pump a zero accused john kerry of trying to undermine the trumpet ministration by meeting with a ringing officials that is after kerry admitted to meeting the iranian foreign minister on at least three occasions since leaving office in twenty seventy. it's 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 bush 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 pros and the donald trump's had his say in a tweet he wrote that kerry's talks with iran were illegal and once again blessed to be a reunion government as a hostile regime he claimed the meeting 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 out of state from twenty thirty. those which are. invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other it will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. led

. this is boom bust broadcasting around the world and covering the world of business and finance and the impact upon all of us i'm our children then washington coming up today with the trade talks in full swing we talked terrified markets with the c.e.o. of starbucks who was horrible and we'll examine the the damage an economic impact so far at least on hurricane florence a. the waters are finally starting to reseed our intrepid correspondent sara mottos the oka gives us the latest including the status of billions of dollars into task.

and speaking of natural disasters legal journalist molly barrows from the ring of fire network helps us take a look at the natural disaster barometer the waffle house in texas and at the southern u.s. iconic restaurant chain plus we'll consider how downloading may change in light of the new european union copyright world with our friends steve walford will fall to the brim as usual so let's do it we start with the major headline. european union authorities have opened an investigation into tech giant amazon related to how they have treated merchants selling on the amazon platform marguerite's festinger the e.u. competition commissioner said the investigation is in its early stages and is seeking details from amazon merchants about the information they provide to amazon as a condition of being on the e-commerce retail platform the issue is super interesting for myriad reasons including the competition commissioner's proactive

approach to regulation in the new evolving in the emerging retail tech space and the focus on business which may be disadvantaged as opposed to only and users consumers well more on this in the coming days. ali baba the huge chinese multinational e-commerce and technology company says it will have a i artificial intelligence chips on the market next year next year for gosh sakes u.s. companies like i.b.m. qualcomm and intel not only sell computer chips but are now moving forward with a chips it appears the ai race is full on the move by ali baba shows the increasing efforts by china to become even more.
