government put it on hold routing is still expected to go ahead before the end of the year earlier we spoke with the russian 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. in the u.k. it's come 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 seventh. rammed a car into pedestrians killing four and then fatally stabbed a police officer artie's on the situation 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

4:07 pm
last year and according to this m i five officer who was speaking in court as part of this investigation he said that gazans of people were monitored by u.k. security services are a crime and a 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
4:08 pm

years three years or five months. doesn't 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 remains a question moscow is confident that it's not a good plan. to and when pyongyang shows redeemers to cooperate and positive changes to will stabilization in the region it looks more and more when the western partners propose further strengthening sanctions on north korea given that pyongyang has taken a number of important steps towards denuclearization it would have been more logical to support the efforts of the something in exchange to support the positive trend speaking of the take other major regional players have on this china is backing russia's position japan is supporting the us sanctions told the
4:11 pm
very strategy and south korea is just enjoying the moment and giving themselves credit for the numerous high level summits that have happened between the north and south. and when it's a security council meeting trumpeter vented his i am going to china of meddling in the upcoming us midterm elections but. explains such claims happening had people. in fashion the talent too does all his a designer's 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
4:12 pm
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 personality. information to better unable
4:13 pm
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's 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
4:14 pm
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 that 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
4:15 pm
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. u.s. news website the daily beast seems to be suggesting that the russian foreign ministry itself has now turned into a tree if the report claims that moscow has upgraded its suppose a troll and blocked 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 multiple competing narratives.
4:16 pm

4:17 pm
post about russia's relations with the west here you can see the wooden picture of the bus cartoon on paris johnson following her anger at the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman being invited to the house of commons we discussed the story with columnist and author ted rall. united states government does this it's 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
4:18 pm
a terribly tasteless joke might be something that would cross the line but jokes themselves or why not they're an important part of dialogue. let's return to trump's headline grabbing speech at the u.n. because it wasn't just foreign powers he attacked socialism also came from steak and his caliber and reports of knowledge meant we've heard from him before. trump's un general assembly speech this year contains some of old material not long ago venezuela was one of the richest countries on earth today socialism has begged grow up did the oil rich nation virtually everywhere socialism or communism has been dry it has produced suffering corruption and decay all nations of the world should resist socialism and the misery that it brings to everyone said roughly the same thing in the last. here's u.n. speech and he got a similar awkward response the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has
4:19 pm
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 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.
4:20 pm
we believe that every working class american deserves the opportunity to change their economic destiny and their children's future that is what that's the message that we need to bring into the midterms. piecing this crime since in our democracy where people feel like the same laws don't apply to the rich. 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
4:21 pm
able to pull off his victory we decided to ask dakota lilah 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 you know 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 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
4:22 pm
trouble repeated his anti socialist tirade at the u.n. 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 up and r.t. new york. police are investigating one of their own female offices for hugging a protester wearing hijab at a rally against the country's ban on less than face 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 balm and legislation the fall i want to complain about the offices behaved. possibly took place when the demonstrate to burst into tears after hearing that she wouldn't be fined for sitting on the ground the protester added she was terrified the place would forcibly pull off her face fell and she took her kids to
4:23 pm
kindergarten and the officer told her that wouldn't happen the stop the islamization of denmark group join the m.p.'s complaint against the officer the independent police appeals authorities investigating the case the officers the lawyer insists she acted in accordance with police guidelines denmark's ban against face veils come into effect on august the first and follows similar restrictions in austria belgium and france critics though are concerned where the complaint against the officer is taking society. communities are made up of various groups and the police need to police all of those groups violate. the nature of the complaint. could effectively be summarized as the place on earth. that isn't what the place is 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.
4:24 pm
any law or. the lower end of the sky oh we have absolutely no discretion whatsoever it doesn't work like that in a democracy. around for the news now i'll be back at the top of the hour with more but first on r.t. international time for a documentary called no limits. when lawmakers manufactured consensus instead of public. when the ruling class is a project themselves. the flame and merry go round the sun we don't want to set. the time to ignore middle of the
