i. mean. this is quite a gathering. a lot of people. media. continues to make a stir at the u.n. general assembly and it seems no one is off limits. the latest in line for. the president accusing it of.

investigative group claims it's revealed the real identity of one of the alleged. we assessed some of the new information. they september twenty seventh and just after eight am here in moscow for me rory sushi and the whole crew welcome to today's program. after two days of fractures meetings with his counterparts of the united nations donald trump held a special news conference with the world's media on wednesday night and as he was grilled over a whole range of his latest claims he received an unexpected reaction. this is quite a gathering. so a lot of people. out of media. american

soldiers. didn't expect their reaction but that's so. they love how honest and it's not difficult magic and they find it funny but. let me tell you all day yesterday they were falling over themselves to get a picture with pan to talk about how great his speech was how strong it was whether he said good things about them or not they he's honest with that and they weren't laughing at me they were laughing with me we had fun at the press conference donald trump attacked old enemies like china and iran but he also talked about syria as the reports. of syria is the road to peace that is mostly because of. own efforts at least that's the way the president

sees it put out on social media and elsewhere i gave my pump a zero john bolton everybody these orders. don't let it happen i said don't let it happen. that doesn't mean they can't be selective they can't be you know go in they've got to do what they've got to do with terrorists assume the terrorists but don't kill millions of people. and it starts to you so that it was quite surprising to hear the president repeat the words thank you to syria iran and russia for putting the offensive on a halt but whatever else the president mentioned the word iran it was nothing pleasant to say the least very strong language and also at the press conference mr trump continued to bash the iran nuclear deal very hard we know that

pretty much the rest of the world disagrees with the american leader on that but during his speech mr trump made it clear that he doesn't really get bothered by that this week you put out a call to action to other countries to rally with america to put pressure on iran rouhani still calling for the u.s. to come back into the old deal but after meeting with world leaders this week did you make any progress towards a potential new deal does it matter what world leaders think going to run iran's going to come back to me are they going to make good to you and that's even after president trump's first ever chairmanship of the u.n. security council where he can't have misheard an entire round table of other world leaders and government ministers i ask all members of the security council to work with the united states to ensure the arabian regime changes its behavior deep doodoo greats the united states unilaterally withdrew from the

agreement a decision with far reaching consequences that makes more on c bolivia could it go directly condemns the you know actually. actions imposed by the government of the us against iran do you agree with the u.s. president's objectives on the run but we disagree with them that that. is abiding by its commitments on the deal it remains the best means of preventing iran developing a nuclear weapon this is something that we are actively working on together with china iran and the e.u. another highlight of the meeting was directly accusing china of meddling journalists who were starved and wanted an explanation and president trump did say that he wasn't misunderstood and that he's in fact got evidence of the interference attempts but that's about it.

as they are just mentioned to trump was quite harsh on china during the u.n. session and accused of meddling in the upcoming u.s. midterm elections but as r.t. is that you go down off explains such tactics have been seen before in fashion the talent to dazzle has the designers bread and butter in political fashion donald trump markets himself as chief. and it looks like russia is going out of style not once was it mentioned in trump's un speech regrettably we found that china has been attempting to interfere in our upcoming twenty eight. election coming up in november. against my administration they do not want me or us to win because i am the first president ever to challenge china on trade washington's needlework has already retailer in their agenda actions that china has

taken undermine a rules based order unfair trade practices particularly by china the chinese are very active we can watch very focused efforts to steal american information well china we here at r.t. know what it's like to be showcased in the window of the white house political boutique first things first accusations of election meddling are still in vogue so make no mistake what used to be russian hackers and the presidential vote in twenty sixteen giving way to chinese hackers and the mid-term ballot this season from its continued hacking of our defense secrets to its focus on collecting vast repositories of personal personnel to find the information to better unable to vote is china exploits our transparency and open society china is also being introduced to the concept of sanctions being thrown in the same basket with moscow

over beijing's purchase of russian weapons in this narrative the trade war waged by the us on china fits like a glove after all the purpose is the same to hurt and nation's economy our trade imbalance is just not acceptable. china is market distortions. and the way they deal. cannot be tolerated when it comes to pushing an independent foreign policy china and russia cut from the same cloth this trend is also propelling beijing to the top of the u.s. diplomatic killis we do want it to her very closely what appears to be an effort to expand their influence beyond their own region in places like africa. latin america the pacific islands asia and we are concerned by some of the tactics that the hunt for chinese spies is in full swing too as if the land of the american dream

has been rid of russia's agents and what seems to be a new fad in this china dominated collection military rivalry taiwan is a breakaway province from beijing's standpoint while from washington's it's a lucrative arms export opportunity no wonder the massive new us three hundred and thirty million dollar weapons to deal with taiwan fell flat with china washington is definitely a free that china is in the passing lane many economists are predicting that sooner rather than later china will have a larger economy than that of the united states of america and that from washington's point of view presents a crisis for the united states of america likewise you see there are states trying to recruit other nations into its china ball particularly japan australia and india this is a very combustible situation so it appears like russia is indeed stepping aside this fall winter season replaced by china in pretty much every dimension or do you

know the boogieman dress is one size fits all. the dispute between the e.u. and the u.s. over how to deal with iran has escalated dramatically in recent days on monday the blocks foreign policy chief announced europe will be working with russia and china to create special payment channels to allow trade with iran to continue ultimately in defiance of u.s. sanctions well that's some pretty harsh words from washington. the european union has this so wrong and it's all because of their ego and their pride. and that's not graining who helped. get this deal together she's trying to hold a deal together because she did it but she's not looking out for the best interests

of the european countries who number one don't want to do business with iran the reason that she's attacking based on ego and pride is because she's deflecting the fact that the united states has had nothing but ego and pride when it comes to the way in which we're mishandling trade deals mishandling the way we treat other countries what the u.s. should be doing right now is actually trying to go in that direction which is to open up trade with other countries let american culture spread would businesses and consumers in other countries learn more about the way we think and the way we are the ideas of america the ideas of freedom freedom of the present liberalism these are great ideas but we're not going to spread them by cutting ourselves off and there is nothing more arrogant nothing more foolish nothing more counterproductive to cutting ourselves off cutting our ideas off from the rest of the world as part of washington's moves against iran the u.s. national security adviser demanded the independent swift payment system on which by

around the world rely whole business with the country. banks and financial messaging services such as swift must take a good hard look at their business with iran and ask themselves whether it is worth the risk you know the european union is strong on rhetoric and weak on follow through so we will be watching the development of this structure intend to allow our sanctions to the evaded by europe or anybody else. so the reaction to that came fost with european leaders hitting back and warning america against attempting to make decisions for the european union. it cannot be accepted that the united states would decide with which world regions european companies can trade where they can develop economic activity. i'm sensitive to president trump's comments on the rise of oil prices but i think if you follow that thought to its conclusion you

realize that it would be good prices that the run be able to sell at the economist richard at one of believes it's possible swifter will bow to u.s. demands and ultimately cut ties with iran. u.s. does put a lot of pressure on many actors so swift might do that we don't know but of course the u.s. has a very you know that's really a very aggressive policy of sanctions so swift will certainly listen to those words the u.s. has put a lot of pressure on various issues and it has used the sanctions will be economics more aggressively even against the european companies against swiss companies and this is a it's really. put a lot of tensions on european companies and especially since the financial crisis so at some point my twig up and say this is too much i mean we have to go are on the way and we have to strike a new balance. the independent investigative group belling cat along with the

telegraph newspaper claimed to have discovered the real identity of one of the chalk attackers make it not only. alleged real name but also some other surprising details on the reports. the online blog belling cat which is run by elliot higgins claims serve uncovered one of the two men who were named by the british government as being responsible for march's not a truck attack in saul's free now the two men were named by the u.k. as being alexander petrol and bashir of but according to belin count this the latter of these two men who they've on masts they say his real name is an utterly check and that he's a colonel in the g.r.u. but according to their own source in the article an operation like the one in seoul three would usually be carried out by a low ranking operative who would be no higher than a captain can't have in the past carried out investigations into incidents in the

ukraine and syria and it's those incidents and those investigations which of course people so called into question the veracity of their work what he's doing is nothing more than reading tea leaves every level analysis is a method used by hobbyists and never been to syria doesn't speak arabic and he can't duck says press and reset from the content of his armchair the solver incident has been a sore point between the u.k. and russian governments and the u.k. government have consistently blamed the russians as being responsible and that was a theme which repeated itself when to resume a address the united nations general assembly the u.k. saw the consequences of these norms being rotated in salt spray this year when russia recklessly deployed a nerve agent on our streets the united kingdom has presented detailed evidence clearly laid out in charges of attempted murder and the use and possession of

a chemical weapon against agents of the russian state. uncorroborated rhetoric on the incident is on the rise the u.k. is stubbornly rejecting the idea of a joint investigation with russia which we have proposed on numerous occasions. that's despite the fact that such a joint investigation is exactly what's called for in the chemical weapons convention and if they don't want to cooperate the question then over whether the u.k. has something to hide now we've had no official response from or thorough in the u.k. to those specific allegations in the ballot count blogs the police the metropolitan police and the home office both having not commented on them and the russian government while they've consistently denied any involvement in what took place in seoul three hundred of called on the u.k. government to hand over any evidence or intelligence that they've got that so that they can help with the investigation after the investigation was released the

u.k.'s defense secretary took to twitter to thank those who had quote revealed the true identity of the souls priest auspex twenty minutes later. suddenly deleted the tweet without any explanation. meanwhile the russian foreign ministry has responded to the latest revelations claiming the new investigation is just peddling false information i have plenty more stories to come your way here on international on this thursday we are back and just. to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected.

so you want to present. something that's. actually going to be this is what the. real people are. interested. always in the waters in the. first city they. both think you know we need to go back to invite more form for something that's self-sufficient that's also the position of the government that's the mission to the song goes in any case even if there is a number of contingency they've got to go back to the to this country so. good to have you with us today but returning to the headlining act of this year's general assembly donald trump it isn't just foreign powers he's been here to kowtow

to socialism is coming for a talk as well as caleb maupin reports as an argument we have heard from him before . trumps un general assembly speech this year contains some old material not long ago venezuela was one of the richest countries on earth today socialism has bankrupted the oil rich nation virtually everywhere socialism or communism has been dry it has produced suffering corruption and decay all nations of the world should resist socialism and the misery that it brings us to everyone stops at roughly the same thing in last year's un speech and he got a similar op word response the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been faithfully implemented.

up doesn't seem to realize that the cold war is over and the specter of soviet style marxism leninism is no longer hanging over eastern europe meanwhile trump also doesn't seem to realize that socialism is rather popular around the world the german social democratic party the british labor party many political organizations and leaders across the world adhere to some vague form of socialism in fact socialism is getting more popular in places that are a lot closer to washington than venezuela. we believe that every working class american deserves the opportunity to change their economic destiny and their children's future and that is what that's the message that we need to bring into the midterms. leasing this crime sisson are the. people who will be on.

the ranch. we can and we should absolutely have a healthcare system that provides help here for every citizen in our country socialism is quite popular among millennial is in the united states more popular than capitalism in fact some pollsters say that if donald trump had run against bernie sanders in the twenty sixteen presidential election he might not have been able to pull off his victory we decided to ask dakota lily a young activist why he thinks that socialism is on the rise in the united states people my age especially the really sick you know bills that capitalism brings upon if you look at the student loan crisis right now the student loan debt is the largest holder of debt in the country more than credit card debt you know we have for profit you know educational institutions that charge sixty seventy eighty thousand dollars per semester per year you know the unemployment rate trump says

it's four percent or three percent in actuality it's eight nine ten percent third half the room is made up of socialists you know it's made up of people from bolivia and cuba venezuela china you know angola south africa it's made up of people who completely disagree with him on you know if you look at last year's speech he said you know socialism in venezuela is not failing because it's being you know put to use wrongly it's being put to use completely correctly no one said anything for a good solid five seconds and then this year they laughed at him actually so when trouble repeated his anti socialist tirade at the u.n. the question is was he really aiming at caracas or was the gaming at a new source of opposition to his policies here at home where it seems that trump has unwittingly made socialism great again hey look him up and r.t. new york. as the russian foreign ministry turned into a troll factory a new report by the u.s. news website the daily beast claims the kremlin has upgraded its troll book pain by

using the twitter accounts over its embassies and the foreign ministry. it claims they are trying to confuse the public by blending the truth with multiple competing narratives.

we discussed this to with columnist and author ted rall. and states government does this all the time u.s. government officials make jokes all the time the president of the united states uses social media extremely effectively and makes lots of jokes on it in fact he probably would not be president if he hadn't used twitter extremely effectively so it's mystifying why anyone would say that this is somehow inappropriate the united states. has has house official channels on twitter and otherwise that make jokes i've even seen jokes about things that are pretty grim for example the department

of defense twitter account has made jokes about drone strikes and weapons that civilians in afghanistan and elsewhere those are pretty tasteless jokes so i guess you could say that a terribly tasteless joke might be something that would cross the line but jokes themselves are why not they're an important part of dialogue all right now twenty twenty five minutes past the hour here in the russian capital it is ati international certainly back with much more. than with the sort of go down. to the.

i don't buy the stuff i do love me. while i'm somebody know how to know it's a mask you never know what's happening and whether shooting whether there's fear. and mistrust the tibetans are. sad. because they. might be both which would mean you must be just thinking of the new but i'm addicted to cities you go minute that's been in the muslims all these clear when the. i don't think the ladies are always trying to sell apollo destroy the bar so i

don't think that they believe your dogs are also very clear about there are. interesting that unfortunately you may need to use a real. united states or seem to paranoid about you're on the beach. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy from day shouldn't let it be an arms race is on all sides very dramatic development is only really. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.
