trump continues to make a stir this time at his eighty one minute news conference on the sidelines u.n. general assembly where he kept insisting that america's hardline approach to iran will be. doesn't matter what world leaders think going to run a ranch going to come back to me are they going to make a good deal trump also turns his attention to beijing accusing it of meddling in the upcoming u.s. midterm elections also on the way in the u.k. it's revealed that the terrorists who killed five people in last year's westminster bridge attack had been known to security services as a potential threat for over a decade before the atrocity. hello they're welcome is just gone seven pm here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now we have received video of angry crowds who gathered in the ass.

12:03 pm
third strike of the week came on tuesday when three people were killed in can do is province according to the u.n. in the first six months of two thousand and eighteen as strikes killed one hundred forty nine civilians and injured two hundred four and if we compare that to the same period last year that's a fifty two percent increase and afghan forces may be thinking that using more air power is the best mode of action for them but it really is bad news for civilians who are coming under the constant threat of shelling in recent weeks there have been as many as two dozen strikes a day the u.n. in a statement released on tuesday said that the data that the u.s. and the afghan coalition are using for this strikes is just to very well earlier today we heard from the russian foreign ministry which released a statement taking a similar tone to that u.n. statement also raising concern over the increasing number of civilian deaths is an extract from that statement we were outraged that the iranians strikes of nato
12:04 pm
forces in this country are really almost an everyday reality moreover no one is responsible for this we consider the current situation a consequence of the groove miscalculations of us all storage fees in afghanistan and the room of the white house or the military solution to the problems of the country but in the meantime there's also been comments from the u.s. side grunts nearly the spokesperson for u.s. forces in afghanistan has said that they were reviewing all operational relevant and credible information regarding operations and also perhaps an attempt to reassure civilians in afghanistan said that we take more care to avoid civilian casualties than anyone else. thank you i'm reporting there well last month russia did invite the afghan government and the taliban for multilateral peace talks in moscow the taliban agreed but the government put it on hold the meeting is still expected to go ahead before the end of the year earlier we spoke with the russian
12:05 pm
presidential envoy to afghanistan about what impact the talks could have on the country. 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 after two days of fractious meetings at the united nations donald trump held a solo news conference on wednesday evening some media called it contradictory and self-centered all in all though trump's performance at the u.n. have sparked quite a reaction. this is quite a gathering. so a lot of people were out of media. mergers so it.
12:06 pm
didn't expect their reaction but that's so. 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 with pan to talk about how great the speech was how strong it was whether she said good things about them or not they love that he's honest with that and they were and laughing at me they were laughing with me we had fun but at the news conference trump attacked old enemies like china and iran but he also talked about syria to you and the success the chief there with more 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
12:07 pm
elsewhere i gave my company oh 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 that 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 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
12:08 pm
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 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 withdraw from the agreement a decision with far reaching consequences that makes more on c.
12:09 pm
well you get it bolivia categorically condemns. the lateral actions imposed by the government of the us against iran. might be we agree with the u.s. presence objectives on iran but we disagree with the methods for achieving them is a binding by its commitments under 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. well being you and the u.s. have found themselves in a fresh raw over iran in recent days on monday brussels foreign policy chief did announce that europe will work with russia and china to create special payment channel channels to tehran bypassing u.s. sanctions and washington caylee wasn't happy. european union has this so wrong and it's all because of their ego and their pride. and that's not graining who helped.
12:10 pm
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 she's attacking based on ego and it 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.
12:11 pm
national security adviser demanded the independence with payment system which banks around the world to rely stops business with the country but john bolton's comments and 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 of aided 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 people is true to its conclusion he'll realize that it would be good for oil prices that iran be able to sell but miss an independent investment fund manager believes that swift may end up buying to u.s. demands that and cutting ties with iran us does put
12:12 pm
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 economics are more aggressively even against the european companies against swiss companies and this is 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 fight strike a new balance. well joining us session from venting his anger against china to accusing it of meddling in the upcoming u.s. midterm elections but as well as he goes down off now explains such claims have been heard before. in fashion the talent two does own his design is bread and
12:13 pm
butter 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 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
12:14 pm
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 permits continued hacking of our defense secrets to its focus on collecting their os repositories of personal personnel to. information to better unable to vote is china 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 a 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
12:15 pm
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 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
12:16 pm
million dollar weapons 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 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. you gorges on of reporting there you watching i say more news from us intimidates.
12:17 pm
i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten points over time stamping this . eighty five percent of global wealth if you want to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent raise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit for sure and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a our industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember one one doesn't show you no forward to miss the one and only boom bust. the old saying you know we need to go back to
12:18 pm
invite more foreign forces out stuff. that's also the position of the government that's the mission to the. cause in any case even if there is a number of occasions they will have to go back one day to the to the country. welcome back now in the u.k. it has come to light that the terrorists behind last year's westminster attack have been identified as a threat by british security services only to be taken off the list years before he carried at the crime in march of twenty seventeen how did masood ram the car in to protest rians killing four and then fatally stabbed a police officer. has been following the official inquest into the. case and inquiry into the westminster attack of march twenty second of last year where six
12:19 pm
people including the perpetrator died and dozens were injured has now revealed that the attacker a fifty two year old believed 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 who lead masood was already characterized as a quote closed subject of interest and remained that way until the attack in march
12:20 pm
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 terrorist threats at the time was unprecedented so he says the actions of officials were to quit we had 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 good well according to this officer he also pretty much confirmed that there's always a danger of somebody slipping through during those hearings and that 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 now. one of constant such terror attacks and not of course just here but also in europe come to the forefront
12:21 pm
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. the us news website the daily beast seems to be suggesting that the russian foreign ministry itself has now turned into a troll factory is new report claims that moscow has upgraded its supposed troll and bot campaign by using the twitter accounts of its diplomats and also its embassies the daily beast and says that the ministry is trying to confuse the public by blending the truth with multiple competing narratives. but.
12:22 pm

12:23 pm
discussed the story with the columnist and author. 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 it 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 bomb 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. ok and i don't set return to that comes headline grabbing speech at the u.n.
12:24 pm
because it wasn't just foreign powers he attacked citation is an oversight came in for some steak and it's kind of muffin i reports it is an argument we've 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 it has produced suffering corruption and decay all nations of the world should resist to socialism and the misery that it brings to everyone stops at roughly the same thing and last year's u.n. 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.
12:25 pm
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. who believe that every working class american deserves the opportunity to change their economic destiny and their children's future well that's the message that we
