look. at. the. video agency ruptly obtained footage of residents in couldn't province in afghanistan protesting against the constant bombings by coalition and afghan forces . in the u.k. it's revealed that the terrorist 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. the un security council meeting on korean nuclear isolation is divided over sanctions against pyongyang with russia and the us offering radically different approaches. it's ten o'clock and you're watching r.t. international live from our moscow studio with me welcome to the program we have received the video of angry crowds who gathered in the afghan city of us on wednesday protesting against coalition and afghan airstrikes at least twenty four people have been killed in separate attacks in afghanistan in the last five days alone with more than half of the victims children. short your stone in the show. that you're part of are not a game or much. show you don't just turn on my eyes. not just

because they're still your physical on but john just barely is going to soon as. soon as you said our standards are good the exam boards and the. demonstrators chanted against afghan and u.s. led forces blaming them for the deaths they carried the dead bodies of their relatives to the provincial capital as part of the protests. let me show you calm and being with you know this shows the management of the government to cheat us these are. all these results you cannot differentiate between gunmen going to. this is not the first time targeted civilians several times it is happening while the government opposition have specific addresses and. we don't understand the politics of why the government. why can't the local government manage this issue

this time last. year three. cameras going to see the markets and understand the situation is like. following the attacks the u.n. mission has raised the alarm over the vising number of civilian casualties from last trikes it adds that women and children make up the majority of victims ati's are reports 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 do this province according to the un in the first six months five hundred thousand and eighteen as strikes killed one hundred forty nine civilians in. injured two hundred four now 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 every day reality no one is responsible for this we consider the current situation a consequence of the groove miscalculations of us all surratt is in afghanistan and the room 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 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 last month russia invited the afghan government and the taliban for 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 a 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 burn natural talks between the afghan government the taliban. in the u.k.

it's come to light but the tire 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 seventh. a call into pedestrians killing four and then fatally stopped a police officer artie's on the says he 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 had 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 to protect the officer's identity he said that most sued 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 her lead masood was already characterized as a quote closed subject of interest and remained that way until the attack in march last year and according to this m i five officer was speaking in order as part of this investigation he said that thousands of people. were monitored by u.k. security services are a crime and terrorist threat 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 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 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 no less divisive and that the key issues discussed at this year's general assembly of reports. just on wednesday night

president trump kept talking about how incredibly well he gets along with the north korean leader the one that he keeps calling chairman kim. 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 this language by and with what his diplomats are saying most important thing during this u.n. security council session of the korean peninsula crisis here's u.s. secretary of state mike compare. until the final denuclearization of the d.p. or q. is fully verified it is arsenal in collective responsibility to fully implement u.n. security council resolutions were trading to north korea namely battens on oil experts textile imports from north korea and no access to natural gas

supplies these are once again u.n. sanctions but there are you know lateral ones to made in the u.s. and it's backed by allies those 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 and speaking of how long america's willing to apply this tactic against pyongyang president traub made it clear that there are no time limits other how long hell no i do one time 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 of mike don't get into time if it takes two years three years or five months. does it matter whether this u.s. administration tactic will work and whether appealing yang will be ready to continue making one concession after another without anything in return so in mainz

a question moscow is confident that it's not a good plan. and when pyongyang shows readiness to cooperate and positive changes will stabilize asian in the region it looks more and more. western part of this proposal the strengthening sanctions will north koreans that given that pyongyang has taken a number of important steps towards denuclearization it would have been more logical to support the of something in exchange to support the bulls drew and. speaking of the papers other major regional players have all this china is backing russia's position japan is supporting the u.s. sanctions told the very strategy and south korea is just enjoying the moment and giving themselves credit for the numerous high level summits that between the north and south. when say security council meeting china also vented

his language china increasing it of meddling in the upcoming u.s. mid-term elections but as all teens eager explain such claims have been heard before in fashion the talent too does all his a designer's bread and butter 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 personnel to find the 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 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 want it to her 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 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. u.s. news website the daily beast seems to be suggesting that the russian foreign ministry itself has now turned into a troll factory is the report claims that moscow has upgraded its suppose it troll campaign by using the twitter accounts of its diplomats and embassies the daily beast insists that the ministry is trying to confuse the public by bending the truth with.

out one particular russian. for the most ironic post about russia's relations with the west here you can see the winning picture for the best cartoon boris johnson at the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman being invited to the house of commons we discuss

a story with columnist and author ted rall. 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 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. as we tend to times headline cropping speech at the u.n. because it wasn't just foreign policy attacked. otho called on full stall count of

the cannibal proposals an argument we've heard from already full. 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 of socialism and the misery that it brings to everyone stops at 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.

trump doesn't seem to realize that the cold war is over and the specter of soviet style marxism 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 here 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 that is well that's the message that we need to brains have midterms.

ceasing to. crime sisson on democracy where people feel like the same laws don't apply to the rich. hand and we should absolutely have a healthier system that provides help here every citizen in our country socialism is quite popular among millennial is 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 to 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 for profit you know it 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 come on by 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 un the question is was he really aiming at caracas or was he aiming at a new source of opposition to his policies here at home where it seems that trump

has unwittingly made socialism great again hey look him up and r.t. new york. city's police are investigating one of their own female officers for hugging a protester wearing a whole chapter to rally against the country's ban on muslim face veils the issue had been raised by an m.p. . the photo of the office and the protest can be interpreted as police in denmark sympathizing more with demonstrators supposing the new car ban than with parliament legislation therefore i want to complain about the officers behavior in the hug reportedly took place when the demonstrator burst into tears after hearing that she wouldn't be fined for sitting on the ground the protester added she was terrified that police would forcibly pull off her face veil and she took her kids to kindergarten and the officer told her that wouldn't happen the stop the islamization of denmark joined the m.p.'s complaint against the officer the independent police appeals authorities investigating the case the officers lawyer insists she acted in accordance with police guidelines denmark's against face came

into effect on all this the first time follow similar restrictions in austria belgium and france critics though are concerned where the complaint against the officer 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 love. and that that isn't the police's job is the place this 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 or. the lower end of the sky all we have absolutely no discretion whatsoever it doesn't work like that in a democracy. that's all roundup of the news and i'll be back at the top of the hour

with more but first a lot international at the kaiser report. leaked last league. and when you. present that it would look the biggest and most of the book ngugi

a but. it's going strong it's that it's a bit. there's. just too little. yet and that. this guy like you i get back on my seat that she had my say on that and that i had to get that out and that will. now to the mind the ad the one the money

the two. that it. didn't get the money and that is out there it is how much of that i think i'm going to watch i'm not doing a lot about how the next rolling so are in time but i don't get. them out of them out so out of a mob of people. that was out of my depth. as i asked by the way to really. get that they did. so yeah i'm after. all if you.

and with the. likes of the school. to do a little bit. i don't but. maybe it. was somebody who doesn't know that some of you never know what's happening and what they're shooting what they're it's yours. i mistrust the tibetans are.

just sick of the news but i'm addicted to cities that's been in the muslims all these to deal with the. you know world a big part of the lot and conspiracy it's time to wait to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks.

imax gather this is the kaiser report high colonic for your mind basic 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 of our police and monopolies in the us 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 old police and you know.
