please. this is quite a gathering. for a lot of people. out of the media. donald trump continues to make a stir at the u.n. general assembly insisting his hardline approach to iran will win for it. no matter what world leaders think going to run a ranch going to come back to me are they going to make good. trump also turns his attention to beijing to accusing it of mid-term election meddling. in the u.k.

is defense ministry praises the work of investigators in supposedly revealing the true identity of one of the alleged attackers but mysteriously leaked tweet just twenty minutes later. hello there welcome three pm here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now after two days of fractious meetings with his counterparts in the united nations donald trump held a special news conference for the world's media on wednesday night when he was grilled over his latest claims he received an unexpected reaction. this is quite a gathering. so a lot of people. out of media. mergers so true. didn't

expect their reaction but that's so. they love how honest and it's not define that and base find it funny. 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 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 without the press conference donald trump attacked old enemies like iran and china but he also talked about syria and the success achieved there reporting now from new york is. 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 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 to 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 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 good do 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 great's the united states unilaterally withdrew from the agreement

a decision with far reaching consequences that makes more unsafe well you get it delivered categorically condemns 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 abiding by it's come. on the deal it remains the best means of preventing iran from developing a nuclear weapon this is something we are actively working on together with china iran and the e.u. well 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 block's foreign policy chief announced that europe will be working with russia and china to create special payment channels to allow trade with iran to continue in defiance of u.s. sanctions and that has sparked harsh words from washington the european union has

this so wrong and it's all because of their ego and their pride. and their small graining who helped. get this deal together she's trying to hold a deal together because she did it but she's not working out for the best interests of the european countries who number one don't want to do business with iran the reason she's attacking based on ego and it is because she's disliking 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 when businesses and consumers in other countries learn more about that 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. where as part of washington's move against iran the u.s. national security adviser demand the independence with payment system which banks around the world have to realize it stops business with the country john bolton's comments and america's stance against iran were quick to provoke a 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 much 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 will realize that it would be good for oil prices that iran be able to sell economists an independent investment fund

manager does believe it is possible swift u.s. demands and cut ties with iran. us 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 where the economic spoken more aggressively even against the european companies are going to 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 europe might wake up and say this is too much i mean we have to go are on the way and we have to find strike a new balance. now during the u.n.

session trump also vented his anger against china accusing it of meddling in the upcoming u.s. midterm elections but as he goes you donna off now explains that 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 personnel to finding 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 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. 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 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 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 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 cass along with the british newspaper the telegraph claim to have discovered the real identity of one of the sole agent attackers they give not only. alleged real name but also some other surprising details well after the report was released the case defense secretary took to twitter to thank the been working so tirelessly on the case but twenty minutes later williamson did delete the tweet without any explanation he certainly has more details now on the contents 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 march's novacek attack in solsbury now the two men were named by the u.k. as being alexander petrol and rossland bashir of but according to ballin 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 seoul three would usually be carried out by a low ranking operative who would be no higher than a captain cat 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 never been to syria doesn't speak arabic and he conducts its 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 the reason they address the united nations general assembly the u.k. saw the consequences of these norms being the road insoles breathe 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 briggs the question of whether the u.k. has something to hide now we've heard no official response from or thorough in the

u.k. to those specific allegations in the balance blog the police or the metropolitan police and the home office both having not commented on them and the russian government what 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 it's only there was meanwhile the russian foreign ministry has also responded to the latest revelations claiming the new investigation is just peddling false information. now it's come to light the westminster attacker who mowed down and killed four pedestrians before stabbing a police officer to death last year had been identified as a threat by m i five as early as twenty ten according to efficient inquest currently underway and it messing would have been considered a risk to national security after being linked to al qaida so let's get the details now from and see children you can see there's been waiting patiently and ask you

just bring us up to date then give us some more details of what we've heard today. well andrew an inquiry into the westminster attack of march twenty second of last year where six people including the perpetrator who died and dozens were injured has now revealed that the attacker fifty two year old masood had apparently been on the radar of u.k. security services dating as far back as two thousand and four now by twenty ten he was linked to al qaeda training in pakistan and had been identified as a threat to national security this is according to a senior m i filed for officer who was testifying in court here in the u.k. this week presented only as witness al to protect the officer's identity he said that must suit had been given a holding code identifying him as a threat to national security but was later downgraded that same year by december twenty ten to quote an individual who may be of interest to national security and

then by twenty twelve this man masood was already characterized as a quote closed subject of interest and remain that way until the attack in twenty seventeen again in march last year and according to this m i five officer who was speaking in court as part of this investigation he said that thousands of people were monitored by u.k. security services at the time and terror threats at the time was unprecedented so he says the actions of officials were adequate. we have reviewed the decision to close masood as a person of interest with the benefit of hindsight and we conclude the decision was sound it was logical necessary and proportionate to consider him a closure. well according to this officer he also pretty much confirmed that there's always a danger of somebody slipping through during those hearings and there's there's

always going to be a chance that somebody might get through and of course this is far from the first time that concerns about people slipping through the net when it comes to such terror attacks and not of course just here but also in europe come to the forefront when it does get revealed that officials had known something about those people involved but somehow failed to stop them from carrying out those attacks ok thanks nassif that was and see the children of their force in london thank you. for yours you know it's international we're going to take a quick break. 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 pro 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 with the do but he's totally going down the path that hillary clinton clearly was going.

welcome back strikes by the coalition forces in afghanistan this week strong condemnation russia's hit the attacks while the un has forced grave concerns over the rising number of civilian casualties we can get more details from. mickey plenty of stern reaction men so far absolutely today we have a statement released by the russian ministry of international relations which is really raising concerns over the rising number of civilian. in deaths as a result of the coalition as strikes in afghanistan it referred to what it called the eroni a saw in other words a poorly calculated pretext is being used for conducting these strikes which in the pro process of taking these innocent lives needlessly we can listen to it extracts from that statement right now. we believe the current situation is

a result of gross mistakes by the u.s. in afghanistan and the mistaken decision of the white house to solve the problems the country has by using force. well this statement from russia comes to days after a similar statement from the u.n. which also raised the alarm over the rising number of civilian deaths and also called for all sides involved in the conflict to work harder and take stronger measures to better protect civilians in afghanistan now this year has been a particularly bloody one for civilians in afghanistan in the first half of the year the u.n. said that the asterix that killed one hundred forty nine people and injured two hundred four if we compare that to the same period last year that's a fifty two percent increase this week alone we've seen thirty six civilians killed in and strikes two air strikes over the weekend at took the lives of twenty one people we understand that nine of those victims were from the same family and

another asteroid twelve women and children were killed ten of the victims were children aged between six and fifteen and choose day shortly after we had that statement released from the u.n. the statement calling for restraint we had another asked right this time in condemns province killing three people as you can imagine people on the ground the afghan people they're both terrified and also angry we've seen people taking to the streets in protest chanting anti government slogans and anti u.s. slogans now the response coming out of the u.s. in the form of the spokesman. and for u.s. forces in afghanistan his name is grant neely he said that the the u.s. will be reviewing all of its operational data but also perhaps an attempt to reassure people he said we take more care to avoid civilian casualties than anyone else now this fight against the taliban for the afghan government has been

a particularly audios one the insurgents are now in thirty four provinces of the country and afghan government troops on the ground just aren't doing enough to push them back which is why they're now relying heavily on air power with the support a lot of support from the us now although relying on our power is the best mode of action for the afghan government unfortunately it's the civilians on the ground who are paying the heaviest price just to give you an idea in recent weeks there have been as many as two dozen strikes a day. there is a glimmer of hope in the form of peace talks peace talks between the afghan government or the taliban were supposed to be happening in moscow this holiday unwilling to go ahead with that it was the afghan government that pushed the the paul's bus and now we spoke exclusively to the. to the russian presidential envoy to afghanistan about this this is what he had to say about the matter. it is now time to act and to move from statements to real steps

while organizing these peace talks in moscow a major task is to create an atmosphere that will lead to bilateral talks between the afghan government and the taliban. now though we don't have a date set for these peace talks there is hope that they could happen before the end of the year if they do happen we can't exactly say how promising they will be it will exactly what will come out with out of its birds it seems that if we can bring all sides to the negotiating table it's a very good place to start ok thank you nikki there was an artist again there with the latest on the situation in afghanistan thank you. thank you for watching that's how the news is looking so far today don't forget they planted stories to you at our website you can find that at all to.

nuclear agreement have created what they call a special purpose vehicle that's s.p.v. for that purpose u.s. president donald trump renounce the arrangement but the other nations that hope to salvage the agreement russia germany france china and britain are trying to convince iran to stay in and not restart their nuclear development program despite the u.s. has attempted sabotage it is the hope of supporting the agreement european companies will continue to trade with iran in accordance with european union law while some experts say the s.t.b. tool would insulate companies from secondary u.s. sanctions others disagree we'll keep an eye on this one. and in yet another sign of the growing european pushback on the trump administration the european central bank has warned that the united states.
