look. i think. if it. was good god. knows who. it was but one. party's video agency ruptly obtained footage of residents include his province in afghanistan protesting against the constant bombings by 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 have been known to security services as a potential threat for over

a decade before the atrocity. and the un security council meeting on korean nuclear isolation is divided over sanctions against pyongyang with russia and the us offering a radically different approaches. it's midnight and you're watching all t. international live from moscow studio with me. welcome to the program we have received a video of angry crowds who gathered in the afghan city of us on wednesday protesting against coalition and afghan airstrikes. short of yours only showed. footage of.

sure i was. just. just. to say. it was. this is.

a provincial council member wants the afghan government has lost control of the situation. let me assure you. this shows that they were in management of the government the group to cheat us these are the children with all these resources you cannot differentiate between groundless for a distance abuse this is not the first time they have targeted civilians several times it is happening while the government opposition have specific aggressive solutions but who don't understand the politics of why the government. why can't the local governments manage this issue this family lost four members three you are also going to die if your cameras can see the martyrs and understand the situation is like you. following the attacks the u.n. mission has raised the alarm over the rising number of civilian casualties from airstrikes it adds that women and children make up the majority of victims artie's

nikki aren't 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 tuesday when three people were killed in can do this province according to the un 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 its 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 minister. three 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 sorts of us 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 viewing 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 russian fighter the afghan government and the taliban for multilateral peace talks in moscow the taleban agreed but the government to 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 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 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. to call into pedestrians

killing four and then fatally stabbed a police officer and a 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 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 court witness to protect the officer's identity he said that masood 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 who was speaking in court as part of this investigation he said that thousands of people were monitored by you case. curity services at the time 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 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 turned out no less divisive than of the key issues discussed at this year's general assembly chunk 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 too the

most beautiful letters the question is how does this language by and with what his diplomats are saying most importantly during this u.n. security council session on the korean peninsula crisis here's u.s. secretary of state mike compare. until the final denuclearization of the d.p. r. k. is fully verified it is our solemn collective responsibility to fully implement un security council resolutions pertaining to north korea namely battens on oil exports textile imports from north korea and no access to natural gas supplies these are once again un sanctions but there are you know lateral ones to made in the us and 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 i told my compass and mike don't get into time if it takes two years three years or five months. doesn't matter whether this u.s. administration tactic will work and whether a piano nyang 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. i do too and when pyongyang shows readiness to cooperate and positive changes to will stabilization in the region it looks more and more outdated when the western partners proposed the 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 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. when they to go to council meeting trying also to design but china accusing it of meddling in the upcoming u.s. mid-term elections but those are to. 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 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 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 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 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 an accidental crisis for the united states of america likewise you see there are states trying to recruit other nations into its china ball 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 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 it's new 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.

about one particular russian the contest for the most ironic post about russia's relations with the west here you can see the winning picture for the best cartoon on boris johnson following his anger at the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman being invited to the house of commons we discuss the 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 or why not they're an important part of dialogue that's what tom's headline grabbing speech at the u.n. because it wasn't just foreign policy who attacked socialism or the current state congress called appropriate ports is the knowledge about record for him before. trumps u.n. 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 us 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 and that is what that's the message that we need to pray in seven in terms. of piecing this. crime sisson our democracy where people will like the saloon laws don't apply to the rich. elite hand and we should absolutely have a health care system that provides health care for 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 poor profit you know its 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 him 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 being 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. french authorities. moving to ban a video by a black rapper showing a white man being tortured shot and hung from a tree you tube has also suspended the clip called 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 want

a tougher crackdown on conrad. i condemn unreservedly these abject remarks an ignominious attacks might call it working to immediately withdraw this constant drum broadcasts it will be up to judicial authorities to take a brute route for the action against these odious calls to hate we discussed the controversy with the radio host john gaunt and the chair of the london race and criminal justice consortium the just. but condemn overall and 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 publisher t.v. he's probably going to get so in the net he didn't want which is a lot of negative publicity or maybe even a criminal record we can't have him calling for white people to be hung just largely couldn't have white people calling for black people to be young could weigh

all violence in this ways to p. deplored 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 organs is one particular to wave the score stick or is another which are getting millions of his time 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 fronds. seem to have blown it way out of proportion although you're exaggerating anyway anyway you got an a for why. exaggerate now you have to agree in any way but undoubtedly these i am i exaggerate to mean there is a problem there is a problem. i am using in general i am drill music i am

a sinner that's one hundred black kids at the moment lee along in the more true your have been lying in a mortuary we should condemn all violence like this all violent lyrics like this he's talking about stabbing caves in a nursery white kids and hanging their parents i'm sorry last out of order in my book just not 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 their. dollar well i didn't decide that i didn't pay for a poll i didn't. let's see what the guy said the guy said i wanted to reverse polarity and show what it's like for black people four hundred five 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 this seems to be of big disproportionate difference with the way he's been treated to the way that the rest of the offenders on you tube but be treated no one's trying to make an excuse for that if he has used a c.n.n. change the priority of a good however but by the same token i have condemned both just like i started off on this program today con damning anyone who is promoting the idea to kill somebody else just because of the color of their skin i would condemn them if they would just do it as a general thing. roundup of the news back at the top of the hour with more but first on r.t. international if the kaiser report. was

hired to a higher through or a true and. it's hard to imagine the decades after the war a nazi doctor was still active and rich in a not in seventies crinan tell had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at ashwood it's a german company grown until it developed thalidomide a drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy and it turned out

to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything but. she said she's just cut short arms minix a little mind victims i have to this day received no compensation they never apologized for the suffering that i not only want the money i want the revenge. both think you know we need to go back to and fight for form for something that's not that's also the position of the government that the mission to the us of course in any case even if there is a number of chance they've got to go back one day to the for that country.

rather this is the kaiser report high colonic for your mind. 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 got police and monopolies in the u.s. 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 all the golf police and you know monopolies online are tend to be silicon valley based california democrat so under the obama administration there was definitely no pushback against many argue that there were you know antitrust legislation could be used against some of the situation emerging there certainly amazon is something to look at but the louisiana attorney general is now

saying he wants to break up google and facebook wow.
