no look. if it. was not in the. mood was. video. footage of residents including province in afghanistan protesting against the constant bombings and coalition and afghan forces. 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 also said. un security council meeting on korea's

cries ation is divided over sanctions against pyongyang and russia and the us offering radically different approaches. economic talking you're watching international live from almost as today with me in a day or two to welcome to the program we have received a video of angry crowds who gathered in the afghan city of congress on wednesday protesting against coalition and afghan air strikes at least twenty four people have been killed and secretary strikes in afghanistan in the last five days alone with more than haul for the victims children. yours known in the show been. told are no the moment. but i'm going to get it done. so i thought i should cut. the terms our guys put

them on dollar to fight or con him and talk to joe millionaire because you no wonder given the choice. some are done out of the. show you don't like us show you don't respond on mars. just yet because they're still your physical it on but john just get on it's going as soon as he says there are still images that are standard you got a good example it isn't good to do wrong with orders isn't going. to underwrite them as traitors chanted against our can and us led forces blaming them for their deaths they carried the dead bodies of their relatives to the professional capital as part of the protests. let me show you call and beam what you did this shows that they were in management of the who does government there who are to shoot are sick and these are just over there with all these resources you cannot differentiate between damage by distance of the least this is not the first time they have

targeted civilians several times it is happening while the government opposition has specific addresses and locations but who don't understand the politics of them why the government kills not why can't the local governments manage this issue this family lost for their members you are also going to die right before your cameras can see them artists and to understand the situation is like. following the attacks the u.n. mission has raised the alarm of the rising number of civilian casualties from strikes it adds that women and children make up the majority of victims. in the ports these protests come after what has been a particularly bloody week in afghanistan over the weekend twenty one civilians were killed in as strikes in one case twelve members of the same family were killed and another ten children between the ages of six and fifteen were also killed the third strike of the week came on cheese day when three people were killed in can.

this province according to the u.n. in the first six months from two thousand and eighteen as strikes one hundred forty nine should be injured injured two hundred so 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 forces in this country are already 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 iran years of the white house on a military solution to the problems of the country but in the meantime there's also been comments from the us side grants 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 last month russia invited the afghan government and the taliban from multilateral peace talks in moscow the taleban 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 presidential envoy to afghanistan about what impacts the talks could have on the country. it is now time to

action 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. it's coming to light that the terrorist behind last year's westminster attack had been identified as a threat by british security services only to be taken off the list five years before he carried out the crime in march twenty seventeen a colleague. a call into pedestrians killing four and then fatally stabbed a police officer artie's on the situation there has been following the official inquest into the case and inquiry into the westminster attack of march twenty second of last year where six people including the perpetrator died and dozens were injured has now revealed that the attacker 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 l. 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 remain that way until the attack in march last year and according to this m i five officer 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 threat at the time was unprecedented so he says the actions of officials were adequate 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 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.

the u.n. security council has met on the future of sanctions against pyongyang and it's turned out to be no less divisive than other key issues discussed at this year's u.n. general assembly for more on this now i'm joined live by the trenchard who's the know the covering what's been going on and why was this meeting so divisive but they are a high wall to guess it is another complicated case but before i'd come back to the united nations security council i just want to remind you that all the on wednesday night the u.s. president donald trump kept talking about how incredibly well he gets along with the north korean leader he keeps calling chairman kim. you want to make a deal i imagine like to make a deal we actually have a very good relationship we have a very good relationship he likes me i like him we get along he wrote me two of the most beautiful letters. the question is how does that buy this kind of

language with the things the senior diplomats of the u.s. are saying most important during this u.n. security council session on the crisis on the korean peninsula here's u.s. secretary of state might compel. until the final denuclearization of the d.p. york is fully verified it is our sole and collective responsibility to fully implement un security council resolutions pertaining to north korea. namely these are bad on oil experts and also imports of textiles from north korea no access to natural gas supplies again these are un sanctions but there are also you know lateral ones made in the u.s. and backed by allies these are the ones that the russian foreign minister sergei

lavrov called a grave violation of international law and a slap in the un's face also these measures may target the countries that are daring to deal with north korea now speaking of how long the u.s. is ready to apply this kind of tactic against north korea the time frame on wednesday president trump said that basically there is none. how long how long do you think once i'm do you think you should take north korea to the new i don't know i don't want to get into mosul one duty i don't want to get into the time game you know why. i told my compass that bike don't get into time if it takes two years three years or five months doesn't matter. whether this tactic by the us administration will work whether appealing yang will be ready to

continue making one concession after another with nothing in return that remains a big question moscow in this case is called for and that this is not a good plan. so complicated isn't it thank you very much for that update and i'm sure we'll be speaking to you soon again thank you and when they security council meeting trump vented his anger at china accusing it of meddling in the upcoming u.s. midterm elections but as he goes down the explain such claims have been heard before in fashion the talent too does all his design is brought in but 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 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 mid-term ballot this season from its

continued hacking of our defense secrets to its focus on collecting vast repositories of personal personality. information to better unable. to use 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 who waged by the u.s. 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 cut from the same cloth this trend is also propelling beijing to the top of the u.s. diplomats a 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 asia and we are concerned by some of the tactics they 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 thirty 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 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. or it is a moving to ban a video by a black showing a white man being tortured shot and hung from a tree. suspended the call to hang the whites rapper nick conrad says he wants to show a reversal of the role that black people have suffered for centuries nevertheless french prosecutors have launched an inquiry into incitement to violence and racial

hatred interior minister also wants a tougher crackdown on conrad. i condemn unreservedly these object remarks an ignominious attacks might call weeks are working to immediately withdraw this constant from broadcasts it will be up to do sure thor it is to take approved route for the action against these odious calls to hate our less thorough with jungle radios and journalist and leak just the chair of the london race and criminal justice consortium thanks both for coming on to the program i'll start with you john there are many video clips showing violence across the internet why is this particular stage video causing such an outrage. the other way around isn't it said. he wants to hang white people are condemn all violence law they saw violent lyrics but we're going to be careful here not to get too carried away if you listen to the reports and read the reports this guy only

had forty people downloaded his music before this controversy is clearly he's after the problem he's probably going to get some the know it didn't want which is a lot of negative publicity or maybe even a criminal record we can average him calling for white people to be hung just like we couldn't have white people calling for black people to be young could way. could we that is what john's asking says you only have forty followers. i suppose some may argue that this is a piece of art but how can anyone calling to kill children their parents and represent and to those of one particular ethnic group in general. indeed be a piece of art. from all violence in the star ways to predict lord of course but let's put it in perspective there are literally hundreds of thousands if not millions of hits on you tube videos from neo nazi hard right rock

bands fire up the ovens is one particular wave the swastika is. another which are getting millions of hits hundreds of thousands i think just after the march in charlottesville you know america last year the the white right march there was some research done and over thirty seven sites were found of neo nazi music sites that were garnering hundreds of thousands of hits so i'm all for the rule of law replying but he does seem to be massively disproportionate when there is no general trend in the french black community or elsewhere for this sort of thing and the one time here example people have descended on it in france as seem to have blown it way out of proportion. to my taste not particularly well not really my taste but really if you look at what the b.b.c.

research shows in relation to extreme right wing videos particularly on youtube and spotify. there are literally tens of thousands of white racist rock bands putting out their messages to kill homosexuals disabled people white people jews and so on and so forth yeah so me don't know what you could get away with taken down to. thank you know shouldn't know yet what they should and ought to not i don't know whether the writer although you are exaggerating anyway anyway you've had enough of a lie that you'll be exaggerating now you are. right anyway but undoubtedly the time i exaggerate i mean there is a problem there is a problem. i am music in general i am on drill music i am the last one hundred kids at the moment lee along in the more true your have been lying in a more tree we should condemn all violence like this all violent lyrics like this

the whole culture of glorifying guns is who all is leading to us i say i think it's the majority that must mass majority of those hundred people have been killed this year in london and a lying in the mortuary is all because of this store for cation he should condemn me all not use it as a little platform future get on your rates thing stunts your soapbox she's what you normally do which is what you've done again here oh i condemn all of it it's all wrong this kid is only out i say forty downloads we're going to be very careful we don't blow this out of proportion but he i've read the lyrics he's talking about stopping caves in a nursery white kids and hanging their parents i'm sorry laughs out of order in my book just what. the research is there for those who wish to rely on the facts of the matter there is copious amounts of research online about the extent of the multi-million pound industry that underpins the racist white supremacist rock

network and there are in the ocean and dollar well i didn't did that i didn't base i did support i didn't. when you were speaking you did i love you to speak. to me with the parcel i write in english it's an english tradition that you speak and i speak i suggest you become afraid you would be because it aids communication . there out well what if you're out here in files made hundreds of thousands of white rock radios calling for all souls fire up the ovens fly your swastika flag kill a black baby today you've married all conceived may disappoint you this all you let me say this in response to what you said you don't you clearly don't do you research because if you had you would know that i'm the most foremost critic of drill music in my community and i've been on public record when a girl really belong to me. i'm zero dollars or me well maybe you are challenged

to me as yours that i will support you can't cherry pick which side to pick on the violin music debate and i'm saying to you both sides the facts and i jump in gentlemen here on this john let me jump in. john let me jump in french ok lisa said no one tiny example in comparison to the thousands he said on the internet of similar example let me finish let me get on john let me finish my question french prosecutors they've opened an inquiry of heisman to hatred in your opinion did it make colorado really want to cause violence against white people. well clearly and saw it meant to violence the lyrics let's go in a nursery stop babies to dead to death and let white people now whether he meant to or no action is saw him and he needs looking into likewise if these hundreds of

thousands which i doubt a lot of skinhead bands will not see bombs or that they should be taken down as well we need to live together not you know ever but if you truly what i haven't finished this guy's been taken. but little bounds of the situation down i haven't finished misdeed you haven't finished your member us the coping blish thing. well you just keep saying they think the same things you've said for the last forty years honestly i don't know why you think i did you all you could drink or your road. however missed rely on the facts join the point you lie all new viruses rop music is i couldn't get loosely i. don't do your homework look at me talking through your whole network on the chain because you know i've condemned all of those offensive musics i'm only the only one they're not going to allow you to beat you down you idiots well so what so was a boy about i'm talking about the large owners of ireland yes he did and i haven't

but i usually couldn't downloading trust the thought to the my room is all that is needed in france has been singled out well all the races freight bonds were selling thousands and thousands of hits online of must be taken down both my point be consistent and that is applied to everybody. all you got to allow somebody else to speak my head i think it's been. good so my first answer today where is year's day is just a platform to two hundred jenny the usual rhetoric i don't want to have a route we are not interested in you are insignificant to more get off the line there are so get off the. the line is this of your doctor laurie come on here just to hear a ranting fool oh you go ok let's just let's get back to the subject are we ok john pretty come on come on guys just sort of john john i'm going to have to bring you

into line ok lee. yes look conrad he's not really a famous rapper in france could it just be a way do you think to get fast track popularity using these hot button issues in france give a chance to us. that's the basis of social media per se is nice so you wouldn't you wouldn't rule it out whatever is motivation no doubt you see it in paris thinking well you know i can see all these other you tube guys on the online seemingly pronouncing all these deaths music and so on and so forth and they're getting away with it so maybe i can fit into the genre too that's my point it should all be condemned whether he did it for artistic reasons and let's see what the guy said the guy said i wanted to reverse polarity and show what it's like for black people for hundreds of years to be victims to these things even recreate created

a scene out of american excess and notable cult. film on white nationalism in america that's what his artistic rationale was sounds credible to me whether he meant it or not who knows only he can tell but i do know there seems to be a big disproportionate difference with the way he's been treated to the way that the rest of the offenders on you tube are being treated john i mean lee has got a point you made a couple of good points there you know nick color did explain that it was think ssion looking at the explanation from the artist himself he explained exactly what lee said that it was a reversal he wanted to show reversal taking a famous scene out of american history x. you can't deny all these silly the years of slavery that existed do you think lee has valid points that you think the rock has valid points. now no. one would never try not to come day slavery would not you know no one's trying to make an

excuse for that if he has used a seed and change the priority of it good however but by the same token condemn both just like i started off on this program today column damning anyone who is promoting the idea to kill somebody else just because of the color of the. skin ok john let me if i could radio in general there so that is my view that's my point this month should be condemned we shouldn't even be taken it that seriously because he only had forty downloads but if the french government think this needs to be investigated on you go on as lisa says if there are far right people doing this as well on the scale that he says that should be investigated and i ate a problem with that john thank you very much lead thank you very much for your contribution on this subject. a roundup of the news for the i'll be back at the top of the hour with more but first on all to international

it's worlds apart. by the. sun welcome to worlds apart israel has long made the point that it puts its security and the lives of its service men about everything else and maxim that may have contributed to the downing of the russian reconnaissance plane over syria now that moscow a mirror's this approach of the back of israel candy to preserve the mode of accommodation they were once so proud of well to discuss that i'm now joined by a very close to north director general of the russian international affairs council mr carter enough it's good to talk to you thank you very much for the time thank

you for inviting me now one of the reasons russia and israel of president putin the prime minister netanyahu have been getting along so well is because they both are hard core realists with very strong i would say unashamed focus on security and in good times that could lead to a better understanding but in bad times that could also provide a basis for a very sharp collision is the latter are likely. well i think that it is getting a little bit more difficult to plea its traditional role in syria which is their role of an honest broker. has always been proud of being able to preserve good relations with all the sides of the conflict including shia and sunni including iran and gulf states including is there is and by the unions and i think specifically talking about two years ago.
