will be exposed on behalf of the e.u. i want to fully condemn the dark extra for our complete we do with those afflicted today's announcement by the direction the british government have exposed russia's term. turks wrong russia. this reckless. behavior. we're joined live now bipolar boy in london for more so what is russia accused of. well yes for an intelligence agency that's meant to sort of remain in the shadows russia's intelligence agency the g.r.u. has today been thrust into the daylight or plunged into the daylight rather the list of accusations unveiled against the g.r.u. is pretty extensive and just moments ago we heard from the u.s. department of justice it appears that these accusations have been coordinated written in the u.s. the u.k. the netherlands and switzerland but the u.s.

department of justice has just announced that they have indicted seven russian military agents that's g.r.u. agents for hacking for id theft for money laundering yesterday you have accusations against them and they said that what they were doing was all with the strategic interests of russia they were trying to undermine doping officials and the efforts of anti doping organizations and. agents accused by the u.s. justice department are believed to be back in russia but still as the f.b.i. official just speaking that said people travel so they think it's important to bring this all to justice at the same time over in the netherlands investigators have accused full of the same russians that the department of justice over him. washington just named of being hack is of the g.r.u. as well these four russians were recently expelled from the netherlands after being

accused of attempting to hack the o.p.c. w. in april just after the poisoning while the investigation of the script files of gay and yulia was taking place that they released images of these four suspects over in the hague with their diplomatic passports and at the same briefing the british ambassador to the netherlands accused the g.r.u. of attempting to hijack porton down which is the u.k.'s military laboratory the u.k. foreign office and the investigation into the downing of flight m.h. seventeen that's a lot of allegations for one day but it doesn't stop there as take a listen to what the british defense secretary had to say about moscow today. this is not reactions of the great power this is a reaction to the pariah state and will continue working with our allies to isolate them and make them understand they cannot continue to themselves in search of work

why is he calling russia a pariah state well that's because the british government released a statement overnight accusing the g.r.u. of being responsible for even more high the hack against wada the world anti doping agency in the wake of the russian doping scandal they say that with g.r.u. agents the hack on the d.n.c. those clinton e-mails in the run up to donald trump being elected that was also the g.r.u. they say they also accused russian spies of hacking russian and ukrainian transport infrastructure businesses as well as a hack against a small t.v. station here in the u.k. the u.k. saw a cyber agency here that came up with this assessment that the government quoted said that it had a high confidence that the g.r.u. was almost certainly responsible for all these attacks and all these groups behind these separate hunks are all part of the g.r.

use hacking apparatus and its orders they say come directly from florida and putin's kremlin now russians russia's foreign ministry spokesperson there is a heart of i was speaking in a briefing earlier and at that point only the english or rather the british allegations had been unveiled and her response to it was that all the accusations against russia have now been conflated in what she called a pretty diabolical cocktail of accusations take a listen to what she had to say. before you go to a board everything is being mixed indiscriminately as if in a bottle of mineral rich or perfume russian military intelligence cyber spies kremlin hackers it's all just one big witch's brew the imagination of our british call. alex knows no limits who could come up with all this i'd like to take a look at these hans christian andersen and. well the russian embassy here in

london has weighed in as well they've called the accusations today a crude dissent information the european sound pretty serious to the americans there's talk of more sanctions and the dutch government has also just sanctioned the top russian diplomat in the netherlands that's the shot jeff aired for what sounds like rather an uncomfortable chat in the dutch foreign ministry will of course be keeping a close eye on the story as it continues to develop our teams play borger thank you for bringing us the latest. president putin has arrived in india for a two day visit it is expected that putin and the indian prime minister narendra modi will sign a multi-billion dollar contract for the delivery of the russian s four hundred air defense system there are also likely to discuss broadening nuclear ties with russia building it to build another nuclear power plant in the country in addition to the

one already under construction. in other news u.s. national security adviser john bolton has announced america is pulling out of an optional protocol to the vienna convention a move that could prevent the u.s. from being sued at the international court of justice it becomes the latest in a line of international judicial commitments washington's withdrawing from just this year the united states will withdraw from the optional protocol in dispute resolution to the vienna convention on diplomatic relations the united states is officially withdrawing from the un human rights council we will not cooperate with the i.c.c. we will provide no assistance to the i.c.c. baseless politicize claims are brought against is hypocritical bodies an institution i'm just prosecution by this illegitimate court the council ceases to be worthy of its name we will commence a review of all international agreements that may still expose the united states to

purported binding jurisdiction dispute resolution in the international court of justice. artes to american takes a closer look at the reasons behind washington's decision to quit this part of the vienna convention national security adviser john bolton tried to justify the withdrawal by portraying the provision as a violation of u.s. sovereignty citing a case brought on by palestine contesting the decision to move the u.s. embassy from tel of move to jerusalem earlier pompei announced to the world the u.s. was leaving a friendship treaty with iran that established diplomatic ties with the country back in one nine hundred fifty five it was apparently a response to the international court of justice fooling that ordered washington to lift iranian sanctions on humanitarian goods which pompei are described as iranian propaganda iran is attempt to interfere with the sovereign rights of the united states to take a lawful actions necessary to protect our national security and iran is abusing the

i.c.j. for political and propaganda purposes this leaves one question how will the us or any western country be kept in check without an effective international governing body it looks like this will revive a some of those discussions samir mentioned earlier on wednesday the un international court of justice ordered the us to partially lifted sanctions on iran which were imposed in may and july filed a lawsuit against washington demanding it drop sanctions and compensate for the damage caused to the iranian economy artis roughly video agency asked people in tehran what they think about the international court's ruling. doing on the world knows that the u.s. is wiling to build war they don't of them all know their own words they signed the nuclear deal and now they've changed their mind even those that have problems with our country accepted that this act is illegal donald trump it's great really crazy what is the same when he doesn't understand what his same. officials and even

civilians say we should stand up against america's excessive to mom this ruling will not please mr trump and his friends and we will see their reaction but it will be futile we caught that in the us acted against human rights the hague ruin is completely sound food medicine thirty was an old go towards people's livelihoods they should never have to leave them but would see we've got reaction to the latest us news from political experts this is the another example of the united states talking about the rules based democratic order and expecting everyone else to follow it but when it comes time for the united states to follow what you know they just simply change the rules and i'm certainly not a fan of the united states being governed by world bodies and accountable world bodies but the issue with them with the palestine issue and also with the iran issue is that and iran specifically you know we signed this agreement in one hundred fifty five agreed to be adjudicated by the international court of justice and then when they rule against united states we say ok we're going to take our

toys and go home it doesn't look good it sets a bad precedent and it also makes the united states to look like look like someone you can't do business with overseas the u.s. warrant to lay sanctions i the i.c.c. as well as a prosecution of its judges would be under way by the u.s. actually because the u.s. believes that it's an exceptional state president trump is real manifestation of this wrong idea that the u.s. is exceptional all other nations should abide by their rules and regulations except for the united states so therefore the u.s. is adamant to the rule of the law it has proved to be. irresponsible. after examining documents from an f.b.i. probe the white house has reportedly found nothing to support the sexual misconduct allegations against supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh but a scrutiny around the scandal intensifies questions have been raised about

republican senators being put under pressure by protesters down one quarter takes a look. since brett kavanaugh his controversial supreme court nomination we've seen a number of political confrontations in the u.s. by concerned citizens who have been looking to give their elected representatives and earful certainly isn't. what. are you. sorry you are talking. about something like that was the senator majority leader mitch mcconnell after his call for the senate to vote on kavanagh asap he was a likely target for enraged activists take another republican senator jeff flake who was ambushed in an elevator i'm going to. leave me i didn't tell anyone and you're telling all the main guys they don't matter what you want to talk to you don't tell me that might have something down or don't want me don't think

those are your only. things. pretty awkward elevator moment there's also republican senator david perdue who ran for the restroom after he was confronted with the asian games project we're kind of how can you not talk to women who have been assaulted how can you ignore our pleas the thing is though these are not random incidents they were all organized by the very same angio the so-called center for popular democracy and its sister organization and harassing politicians isn't the only thing in their arsenal they've also organized a number of mass protests. that protest alone resulted in over one hundred arrests but liberal organizations aren't only taking direct action against their political opponents the man justice

engages in similar activism making dramatic political advertisements he normally does. and to the u.s. supreme court accusing cavanagh of sexual assault when she tried to scream she said he put his hand over her mouth we can't let breast cancer not just light on our rights for a generation enough is enough. wondering how they pay for all that well these organizations all have one thing in common they're funded by the controversial billionaire george soros styling himself as a so-called philanthropist soros has given millions to liberal causes are around the globe and democrats at home in the us. his organization has already given over two million dollars to these ladies alone and hundreds of thousands more to the fund that helped make anti carbon are commercials it depends on what the end game here is if the end game is to block a judge while the maybe not but if the issue here is to spread

democracy like george soros his money is supposed to do that that might be that might be working out in in their favor i think this is really a trump trump situation unfortunately this isn't about accusations that were made and it's not about if a person is guilty or not of any sort of misbehavior this this really has come down to do we want to see donald trump as as a second term president or do we want to see donald trump fail and block any of his policies initiatives still to come in the program francis famous cuisine and it's butchers are under attack to the point where they're calling on the president for help details on that story and more in a moment. his

role in palestine to the table to have a proper discussion and negotiation about a peaceful solution that is what's needed most. animal welfare activism under the banner meat is murder is becoming increasingly militant in france the country is witnessing a spike in attacks on slaughterhouses we spoke to one french butcher who says the windows of his shop were smashed by beacons. announcing the how it was all the matter the incident happened around three in the morning i came down and saw that the do it had been hit in three places every day also page of the species it was here on the enemy i'm. sort of i took pictures mediately the police arrived i was sure you would want to go you know that there is the picture of the damage to. cities and these are the mosques only a million new york it is where it says it's species isms and these are the rocks

they used to smashed the glass. his case as one of many including splattering shops selling meat with fake blood setting slaughterhouses on fire and defacing a butcher shop with graffiti the incidents have even prompted worried but chose to send a letter to the french president manual mccrone in a bid to prevent more violence. this is a civil war this gang go on mr president should workers take up arms to defend themselves and their businesses. and i believe these people should be punished as one of the large corporations that oversee the only attacks small businesses because it's easy the people who can see why does everybody have us not eating vegetables only because these activists at the everyone has their own preferences and we must respect oil as a choice. meanwhile butchers have already gained some support from officials with the head of the republican party saying two hundred thousand euro in compensation will be paid out to those affected we spoke to animal rights activist eve barn

adele who has mixed feelings about the recent wave of incidents. these activists think that animal rights must be protected similarly to human rights so it's not surprising that the attack slaughter houses and butchers shops if the law authorizes immoral acts they may think what they do is justified in terms of morality anything that may stop the killing of animals for meat is acceptable but i am not sure whether illegal actions are the best way to promote animal rights the question we should ask ourselves is whether it is an effective way to raise awareness about animal suffering and animal rights if it's a good strategy then we should do it. a russian hockey teams concern for one of its injured female stars has resulted in something of an own goal after pictures it posted of her sparked a sexism debate the star herself though doesn't see a problem.

a normal i'm sorry naked bottom the whole of instagram is packed with photos just like it i can't understand why it has triggered such a response the whole keep up posted it because they admired my fat bottom the idea was a simple as that. come october next it's the bad very concept of sexism is not appropriate here parts are hard much not a little bit of sexuality to their predominant female team but one of the exploitation of my sexuality is approved by i meet people who like themselves often face a public backlash but what's the point of staying fit and good looking and spending the most part of my life in the gym if i can display it no that won't change their votes or global news broke down for now but don't forget you can always find us on many of your favorite social media platforms like facebook twitter and instagram for up to the minute reports thanks for joining at this hour.
