i. mean. this is quite a gathering. a lot of people. media. continues to make at the u.n. general assembly insisting his hardline approach to iran will wind through doesn't

matter what world leaders think going to run iran is going to come back to me and are going to make a good deal. of tension out of beijing accusing it of meddling in the elections. the u.k. defense ministry praises the work of investigators in supposedly getting the true identity of one of the alleged souls. but then mysteriously deletes the tweet just twenty minutes later. noon here in moscow watching r.t. international thank you for joining us on that this thursday it comes the top stories. after two days of. meetings with his counterparts at the united nations held a special news conference with the world's media on wednesday night and i see was grilled over a range of his latest claims he received unexpected reaction this is quite

a gathering. a lot of people. one of media. america's so true. didn't expect their reaction but that's so. they love how honest and it's not. funny. let me tell you all day yesterday they were running over themselves to get a picture or 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 so i thought i would try to talk to old enemies like iran and china but they also talked

about syria and their successes achieved in a patrol car has this report from new york if syria is the road to peace that is mostly because of. own efforts at least that's the way the president sees it i 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 stuck to you so it was quite surprising to hear the president repeat the words thank you to syria iran and russia for putting the offensive all 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 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 for honey 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 a good deal 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 great's the united states unilaterally withdraw from the agreement a decision with far reaching consequences that makes more unsafe while you get it delivered categorically condemned the. posed by the government of the us against iran. we agree with the u.s. presence of genitives on iran but we disagree with the methods for achieving them iraq is a binding by its commitments on the deal it remains the best means of preventing it to. i think i need clear weapons but this is something we are actively working on together with china room and the e.u. . on the whole the dispute between the e.u. and the u.s. over how to deal with iran has escalated quite dramatically in recent days on

monday the block's foreign policy chief announced a europe will be working with russia and china to create special payment channels to allow trade with iran to continue that as ultimately in defiance of u.s. sanctions and that sparked 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 now as part of washington's moves against iran the u.s. national security adviser demanded the independent swift payment system on which banks all around the world rely upon each and every day stops business with iran john bolton's comments on america's stance against iran were quick to provoke reaction. 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. it cannot be accepted that the united states would decide with which world regions european companies can trade where they can develop economic activity such as he saw time sensitive to present trends comments on the rise of oil prices but i think if he follows through to its conclusion he'll realize that it would be good for oil prices that iran be able to sell economist i'm independent investment fund about. believes it's possible swift 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 had 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 what could it be economics but more aggressively even against the european companies against swiss

companies and this is is really. put a lot of tensions on european companies and especially since the financial crisis so at some point my to a cup and say this is too much i mean we have to go or own way and we have to find strike a new balance. during the un session vented his anger against china accusing it of meddling in the upcoming u.s. midterm elections it was artie's either stand off explains such tactics have been seen before in fashion the talent to dazzle has the designers brought in bottom in political fashion donald trump markets themselves 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 their os repositories of personal personnel to identifying information to better unable.

to use child exploits are 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 of the trade war waged by the us on china fits like a glove after all the purpose is the same to hurt the nation's economy our trade imbalance is just not acceptable. china's 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 kill list we do want it to her very closely what appears to be an effort to expand their influence beyond their. region in places like africa latin america

the pacific islands. 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 deal with taiwan fell flat with china washington is definitely afraid the 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 that from washington's point of view preserves the existential crisis for the united states of america likewise you see there are states trying to recruit other nations into its china

ball particularly japan 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 belling along with a british newspaper the telegraph claim to have discovered the real identity of one of the souls we know of agent attacked because they give not only should officer alleged real name but also some other rather surprising details after the report was released the u.k.'s defense secretary took to twitter to thank those who had been working so tieless the on the case but twenty minutes later williamson suddenly deleted the tweet without any explanation as he's essentially breaks down

the details of the report the online blog belling cat which is run by elliot higgins claims of uncovered one of the two men who were named by the british government has been responsible for marches not to talk attack in souls free now the two men were named by the u.k. as being alexander petrol and bashir of butts according to belin cat this is the latter of these two men who they've all mosques they say his real name is and that's it he checked he got and that he's a colonel in the g.r.u. but according to their own source in the also call an operation like the one in souls we would usually be carried out by a low ranking operative who would be no higher than a captain that have in the past carried out investigations into the 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. doesn't speak arabic and he conducts his press on the set from the content of his on. the silver incident has been a sore point between the u.k. and russian governments and the u.k. government have. insistently 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 the road ahead in salzburg 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 of whether the u.k. has something to hide now we've heard no official response from or thora he's here in the u.k. to those specific allegations in the bell and 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 and solve 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 information claiming of a new investigation is just peddling false information or plenty of stories still to come your way on the program here on our team we're back in justice.

the old saying you know we need to go back to by force. that's also the position of the god that's the. case even if there is

a number. to go back to the country. with us here returning to the headlining act of this year's general assembly president donald trump it isn't just foreign policy he's been hitting out socialism as well as reports now it is an argument we have heard from him before. the u.n. general assembly speech this year contains some 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 resist socialism and the misery that it brings us to everyone said 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. 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. 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. policing this crime cis in our democracy where people like the same laws don't apply to the rich. we 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 lenni ills in the united states more popular than. 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 lilah 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 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 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 and r.t. new york. danish police are investigating one of their own female officers for hugging a protester wearing a hit job during a rally against the countries by. face veils and the issue had been a right used by an m.p. . the photo of the officer and the protester 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 behaved in the officer reportedly hugged the protester who would burst into tears after

hearing she would not be fined for staging a sit in the protester also said she was relieved to find out the police would not be looking to forcibly remove face veils now the stop the islamization of denmark group joined a complaint against the officer the independent police appeal to authority is investigating the case of the officers and lawyer insists she acted in accordance with police guidelines denmark's ban against face veils came into effect on the first of august and does follow similar restrictions in austria belgium and france some critics there were concerned where this is taking society. but 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 of and that that isn't what the police's job is or the places job is to facilitate protest in a liberal democracy and that seems to be what the officer went along with doing

police in 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 with absolutely no discretion whatsoever it doesn't work like that in a democracy. as the russian foreign ministry turned into a troll factory a new report by the us news website the daily beast claims the kremlin has upgraded its trolls and bot campaign by using the twitter accounts of its embassies and the foreign ministry it claims they are trying to confuse the public by blending the truth with multiple competing narratives. but.

the article singles out one particular russian tool contest for the most ironic post about russia's relationship with the west he can see the winning pitcher for the best cartoon on boris johnson following his anger at the russian foreign

ministry spokeswoman being invited to the house of commons we discuss the story with columnist and author. the 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 or why not they're an important part of dialogue thanks for joining us here on r.t. international wrapping up the program for this island of plenty more stories for you if you can join us in about twenty five minutes we would love to see. who this does it will lead to toss all we've got is that you called me over if. you would you.

move the bat. it's going strong still it's about seeing new yorkers. just chill. you know world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bad 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 watching the hawks. or this is the kaiser report high colonic for your mind. max you know one thing we have been talking about quite often over the past few years is the fact that we have these all got police and monopolies in the u.s. for example advertising online something like ninety five percent of all new advertising online advertising went to either facebook or google so that competition is not there's not much competition in the u.s. now a lot of the new all the golf police and you know monopolies online are tend
