i. mean. this is quite a gathering. a lot of people. out of the media. continues to make a star at the u.n. general assembly insisting his hardline approach to iran will win through. doesn't matter what world leaders think going to run iran's going to come back to me and are going to make. bold so it turns his attention to accusing him. of

meddling. also the u.k.'s defense ministry praises the work of investigators and supposedly revealing the true identity of one of the alleged souls. but mysteriously deletes the tweet just twenty minutes later. it is a busy day for worldwide stories welcome to the program. so after two days of 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. out of media.

america so truly. didn't expect their reaction but that's so. they love how honest and it's not diplomatic and they find it funny. let me tell you all day yesterday they were falling over themselves to get a picture well planned 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 were and laughing at me they were laughing with me we had fun at the press conference to talk to old enemies like iran and china but also talked about syria and the successes achieved this more details now with the trunk of reporting 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 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 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 time to use some of it was quite surprising to hear the president repeat the words thank you to syria iran and russia for putting the ad lib 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 trade with a can develop economic activity such as i'm sensitive to present trends comments on the rise of oil prices but i think if he follows through to its conclusion you'll realize that it would be good for oil prices that iran be able to sell economist and independent investment fund manager believes it's possible the swift will bow to u.s. demands on cut ties with iran. u.s. does put a lot of pressure on the one million or so swift might do that we don't know but of course the u.s. has a very 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 you cannot export more aggressively even against the european companies against swiss company years and this is as really. put a lot of tensions on european companies and especially since the financial crisis so at some point europe might wake up and say this is too much i mean we have to go or own way and we have to strike a new balance and the u.n. session vented his anger against china accusing it of meddling in the upcoming u.s. mid-term elections resulting is even to an off explains such a tactics well they have been seen before in fashion the talent to dazzle has a design as bright and bottom 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 their os repositories of personal personnel to find 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 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 the 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 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. 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 presents an accidental 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 the british newspaper the telegraph claim to have discovered the real identity of one of those. they gave.

a real name but also some other surprising details the report was released the defense secretary took to twitter to thank those who had been working. on the case but then suddenly twenty minutes later. deleted the tweet without any explanation. on the details of this report. 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 has been responsible for march's novacek 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 count this the latter of these two men who they've all masts they say his real name is an utterly check and that he is 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 that 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 call 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 conducts its 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 the road it in saw 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 it begs the question then of whether the u.k. has something to hide now we've heard no official response from more thorough in the u.k. to those specific allegations in the ballin 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 on the program here on r.t. international on this thursday danish police woman lance ourself in hot water after hugging a protester wearing a bandit muslim face veil those details and much more just. you know world of big movies. 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 smart we need to stop slamming the door on the 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. and spearing dramatic to follow only. exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. all right returning to the headlining active this year's general assembly that of president donald trump just foreign policy has been hitting out socialism's come in

for attack as well as reports it's 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 resist of socialism. the misery that it brings us to everyone said roughly the same thing in 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.

cup 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 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 will do the same.

to the rich. elite 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 millennia as 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 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 and 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 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 un the question is was he really aiming at caracas or was he came in at a new source of opposition to his policies here at home where it seems that trump has unwittingly made socialism great again. 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 country's bad old muslim face and the issue had been raised by

an m.p. the photo of the office and the protests to combine to uproot the disbelief and done mock sympathizing more with demonstrate to supposing the niqab on the moon with ball and legislation therefore i want to complain about the offices behaved in the office reportedly hugged the protester who had both into tears off the hearing she would not be fined for staging a sit in the protest also said she was relieved to find out police wouldn't be looking to forcibly remove face. now to stop the islamization. denmark group joined the complaint against the officer the independent police appeal to authority is investigating the case officers and lawyer insists she acted in accordance with police guidelines denmark's ban against face veils came into effect on the first of all and follows similar restrictions in austria belgium and france critics though are 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 place of and that that isn't what the places job is or the police's 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. 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 troll 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 the contests for the most ironic post about russia's relations with the west i 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 discussed the story with colonist. 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 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 it's been a pleasure having you with us for the first our program here on our international plenty more of it well what headline still to come that will be in about twenty five minutes with my colleague andrew from. the old saying you know we need to go back to invite more foreign force that starts out position that's also the position of the government that's the mission to the

solve those in any case even if there is a number of contingency they've got to go back quite a bit to the to the country. when the make this manufacture consent instead of public wealth. when they're running plus isn't protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent. going the whole middle of the room signals. going lemuria leaves room. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. of the with one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each dish. eighty five percent of the global wealth he longs to the ultra rich

eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one business shows you can afford to miss the one and only boom but. so far i've gotten to know my own body recovered by the. hour in law found in the south in the public mind my going to become less crowded to a spokesman for the handicapped children. not. least . over the years

alvin will make appearances on telephones across the country. going. live. a. lot better than other people. because a lot of havoc of course. the people get it wrong. they look at all the law they thank god it's tremendous how you can do things with his feet well i suppose if you look at your feet it's tremendous but these are my feet these are my hands too and i have been doing it forever these are not tremendous faith is the only thing that i've got so when i pick up a cup and i have a drink you know. oh wow what a thrill that's what it is i do think. i thank you. i thought that i was

going to have to be a nun i didn't think that i was going to go on dates i didn't know what was going to happen and that that's not how it happened i had a great high school run i mean you know i had a lot of fun friends i had too much fun and if you're like me and my friends you drive around and look for holes and.
