i. mean. this is quite a gathering. of a lot of people. of media. continues to make a stir at the u.n. general assembly and it seems at this point that no one's off limits. as beijing's the latest in the line for a full lashing with the president accusing it of election meddling. as an

investigative group claims it's revealed the real identity of one of the alleged attack is here on the program we assess some of the new information. very good morning to you from all of us here at the international in moscow it is moments after ten am on thursday welcome to the. so after two days of rather fractious meetings with his counterparts at 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 range of his latest claims he received a rather unexpected reaction. this is quite a gathering well it's a lot of people. but of media.

america's so true i. didn't expect their reaction but that's so. they love how honest and it's not diplomatic 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 the speech was how strong it was whether she said good things about them or not they are. 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 iran and china but he also talked about syria and the successes achieved. trying to reports from new york if syria is on 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 and 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's stuck to you so that it was quite surprising to hear the president to mourn which banks all around the world rely on from day to day stops doing business with iran. 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 we do not intend to allow our sanctions to be evaded by europe or anybody

else. the reaction to that came fast 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 which world regions european companies can trade when they can develop economic activity such as sensitive to president comments on the rise of oil prices but i think if you follow that thought to its conclusion you'll realize that it would be good prices that the run be able to sell the economist richard one i believe that's possible that swift will bow to u.s. demands and ultimately cut ties with iran. who has 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 for 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 where the economics are more aggressive and even against the european companies against swiss company use and this is really. put a lot of tensions on european companies and especially since the financial crisis so at some point my to aig up and say this is too much i mean we have to go or own way and we have to strike a new balance during the u.n. session did vent his anger against china now accusing it of meddling in the upcoming us elections but as odd he's even a stand off explain such tactics have been seen before. in fashion the talent two does own his design is bread and butter in political fashion donald trump markets him self 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 retailing 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 midterm ballot this season permits

continued hacking of our defense secrets to its focus on collecting vast repositories of personal personality. 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 are cut from the same cloth this trend is also propelling beijing to the top of the u.s.

diplomatic kill list we do monitor very closely what appears to be an effort to expand their in 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 opportunity no wonder the massive new us three hundred and thirty million dollar weapons deal with taiwan fell flat with china washington is definitely afraid the china is in the passingly many economists are predicting that sooner rather than later china will have

a larger economy than that of the united states of america 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 cobol 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 independent investigative group along with a british newspaper the telegraph claim to have discovered the real identity of one of the nerve agent. not only. real name but also some other rather surprising details now after the investigation was released the

defense secretary took to twitter to thank those who have been working so tirelessly on the case but then twenty minutes later. suddenly deleted the tweet without any explanation. on the details of the investigation. 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 is being responsible for march is not a truck attack in saul's free now the two men were named by the u.k. as being alexander petrol and rossland bashir of but according to belin cat this is the latter of these two men who they've all 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 salt 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 is doing is nothing more than reading tea leaves every level analysis is a method used by hobbyists never been to syria doesn't speak arabic and he can't duck says press and reset from the content of his armchair the software 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 if they don't want to cooperate it begs the question then over whether the u.k. has something to hide now we've had no official response from more thorough in the u.k. to those specific allegations in the balance cat blog the police and 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 gathered so that they can help with the investigation meanwhile the russian foreign ministry has

responded to the latest revelations claiming the new investigation is simply peddling false information well still to come here on the program on international danish police are investigating one of their own police officers hugging a protester who was wearing a hit job details in just a. the

democrats are not socially liberal they are pro war and so are the republicans and the problem people have a trump is that he's prob peace and that's not acceptable in america today that runs except for against iran. walking the walk and you know you have to do it you have to do but he's actually going down the path that hillary clinton clearly was going. to have you with us today now we're turning to the headlining act at this year's general assembly president donald trump it isn't just certain foreign powers he's been hitting alcott socialism's come in for

a talk as well as reports it is an argument we have heard from him before. trump's 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 it has produced suffering corruption and decay all nations of the world should read. to socialism and the misery that it brings us to everyone stops at roughly the same thing and last year's un speech and he got a similar awkward response the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been faithfully implemented. trump doesn't seem to realize that the cold war is over and the specter of soviet

style marxism and 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. and we believe that every working class american just serves 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 our democracy where people who don't like the same laws don't apply to the rich.

can and we should absolutely have a health care system that provides health care for every citizen in our country socialism is quite popular among the lenny ells 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 of you know the ills 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 poor 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 come on by 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 be 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 on wittingly made socialism great again hey look him up on r.t. new york. danish police are investigating one of their own officers for hugging a protester in a hit job during a rally against the country's bad old muslim face veils the issue has been raised

by an m.p. . the photo of the office and the protest can be interpreted as police in denmark sympathizing more with the demonstrators supposing the niqab ban than with parliament legislation therefore i want to complain about the officers behavior in the office or reportedly hugged with a protester who had burst into tears after hearing she would not be fined for staging a sit in the protest also said she was relieved to find out that the police would not be looking to forcibly remove face veils now the stop the islamization of denmark group joined the complaint against the officer independent police appeals authority is investigating the case of the officers lawyer insists she acted in accordance with police guidelines denmark's ban against face veils came into effect on the first of august and follows similar restrictions in austria belgium and france critics though a concerned where this is taking society. communities are made up of various groups

and the police need to police all of those groups fairly. the nature of the complaint. could effectively be summarized as the police aren't far right you know . and that isn't what the place is job is the place is job is to facilitate protest in a liberal democracy and that seems to be what the officer went along with doing policing the population of a country is not an easy thing to do and you cannot have the police enforcing. any law. at the lower end of the scale we have absolutely no discretion whatsoever it doesn't work like that in a democracy. has the russian foreign ministry turned into a troll factory a new report by the us website the daily beast claims the kremlin has upgraded its troll and bot campaign by using the twitter accounts of its embassies and the

foreign ministry it claims they're trying to confuse the public by blending the truth with multiple competing narratives. and not. just.

the article singles out one particular russian tool the contest for the most ironic post about russia's relationship with the west he can see the winning pitcher for the best cartoon of boris johnson following his anger at the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman being invited to the house of commons we discussed the story with called understand author ted wrong. united 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 thanks for joining us here on our three international more of the program at the top of the hour. leeks dawson only got to. see.
