good evening to you this is not a. stop sign with breaking news because moscow has responded to the string of accusations by the west cyber attacks calling the claims a directed propaganda campaign against russia after a number of countries and international organizations said that russian military personnel were behind the cyber attacks and everything from international chemical weapons what stocks to russia's own news agency there were hundreds of victims targeted by these russian criminals the russian government needs to. campaign exposed. this reckless behavior irresponsible behavior from moscow. so here's our events unfolded on thursday the u.s. the netherlands and britain almost simultaneously accused russia's g.r.u.

military intelligence service of a string of cyber attacks. for foreigners my colleague daniel says joins me in the studio been following this story for us we can't use the accusations against russia russia doesn't sometimes not always comes out with an aggressive response has russia reacted on this occasion well quite a firm reaction from moscow with counter-accusations towards the netherlands and u.k. effectively accusing them of simply stoking russophobia and spreading and the russian propaganda inspired mania across the globe moscow's question the timing of these revelations as well according to the netherlands this incident of this expulsion of diplomats all edged agents according to them took place many months ago the information fully has only just come to light now many months since those allegations and russia has said they serve as a distraction from salient issues that are taking place right now and that are very

relevant to global geopolitics and events the changes in the structure of the o.p.c. w. which russia in the west of classical repeatedly given the o.p.c. w. the chemical watchdog the power to attribute blame for example for chemical incidents. that discussion is you to happen next week or the ninth of october russia has said is this a coincidence probably not that's according to moscow at least they've said it's a distraction from the new seventeen evidence that was presented by the russian ministry of defense just last week to which the committee has said they would be looking into so very much a denial from moscow dismissal as this of this evidence is unsubstantiated and a destruction campaign by the west that's what the trouble of saying this what they had to say. this is not the actions of a great power this is the actions of the pariah state and we'll continue working with our allies to isolate them and make them understand they cannot continue to work themselves in such

a way. so like i said we've had so many allegations in the past against russia and a whole sphere of different parts of life what makes these different more specific well we've seen allegations of course you know in the united states the hacking of the alleged hacking of the election there referendums water v.o.p. c.w. now with the netherlands a whole range of factors what this. what is different about these allegations is they allege a sort of clear pattern of alleged malign activity as some of visuals have stated in the past that's the first time also notice that these acts have been attributed to sort of faceless russian hackers russian hacking one of organizations kremlin agents of some sort. a lot of these officials have tied these alleged incidents to the russian military intelligence they now have put a name and a face over organization if you will to all these events and indeed. talk about a little bit later come up with individuals who have been allegedly involved in

multiple such incidents it's also the first time that they've united these accusations sort of into one front releasing these statements very much pretty much at the same time with a very small time gaps again even though the timing of these incidents was spread over many months and years this is what the british defense secretary to say. as we say these. of course will do nothing to ease tensions was already very high between russia and the u.k. rush one of the western states who have made these accusations very much through the media speculation to this vicious cycle of accusations and counter-accusations . by moscow. to the states this statement is coming quite late from the russian foreign ministry no doubt this will be hitting global headlines more and will get more reactions as that goes on here the in the time that we've worked here at our

to use in a lot of a lot of accusations claims thrown at russia i don't think they're remembered so many though it's really on for the russian government's going to be very interesting to see what responses come out in the near future many thanks for kids . the wrong we spoke to russia's envoy in the u.k. he notes evidence from the british side that's still lacking. we believe that this kind of statement reckless and explain why first of all this statements are not supported by any evidence this is first second we hear this kind of a legations for quite a now quite a time and in this to sell than seventeen for a former foreign secretary boris johnson was in moscow. a lover of russian foreign minister offered him to have a consultations on the server security and he said that if you have any questions

in connection with the alleged russian activity we can put this specialist from two countries sit down on the table and to discuss professionally what are the concerns of the british side the british refused to do this and instead of that they launched a reckless attacks on us without any evidence this is quite a big story you know this is the name of the russian intelligence organisation you know if you names there are expelled and all these things but the beef i mean this is this substance is not. basically given so we're going to ask the british side to give more information on that and we're going to repeat our call if you have some information please share this information and we are ready to sit down and talk the united states is also indicted seven people it claims are g

r us agents four of them were expelled from the netherlands according to this morning's hearing on the scale of more pain has more on what washington said in this string of cyber accusations against russia. so we've got the department of justice of the united states charging seven russians now the crimes listed are hacking money laundering wire fraud and identity theft and it's being alleged in the indictment that not only did they commit these crimes but they did it on behalf of russia's g.r.u. let's take a listen real quick to the indictment these seven defendants are charged with the producers campaign of hacking stealing private and sensitive information and publicizing that information to retaliate against russia's detractors and sway public opinion in russia's favor now the allegations go on to say that essentially they began to hacking individuals in response to them calling for russia's athletes

to be banned from the olympics after the doping scandal it's alleged that they took information and publicized on the internet that u.s. tennis stars serina and venus williams had been using prohibited medicine and the same thing about olympic champion simone biles now it's also been alleged that they targeted a nuclear power nuclear energy company in pennsylvania now three of the people lifted listed in the indictment seven total but three out of those seven had actually been named in previous indictments from the u.s. department of justice as a result of the bob mueller investigation yes we haven't seen any evidence yet this is simply an indictment being handed down by the u.s. department of justice no evidence yet presented. and surprisingly the story has hijacked western headlines given it contains the latest woods russia and hacking the former british intelligence officer on the vices to be careful with mainstream media claims about cyber attacks. ever since the whole russia gate juggernaut

started in america in the wake of the donald trump election assertions of the major peacefully on many different fronts and because they can never be proven one way or the other they then just become the the the media narrative and therefore the political narrative and then we have our governments you know having conniptions about fake news and things and then bringing in new laws to try and censor the free flow of information over the internet the free flow of information even through the legacy media and that way lies to tell terrorism where we cannot know the truth we have a situation now where people distrust the media they're worried about what the spies might be feeding into the media process and i think that has particular accelerated since the lies that took us into the iraq war in two thousand and three were exposed and also again in the u.k. as well the lies around the spies not being involved in torture in the war on

terror after nine eleven and this is all being laid open now so whatever is being said today if anything comes out it will probably disprove it but it be years in the future and we need to know the truth now. of the five weeks to go now to america head to the polls for the midterm elections it seems the continuing arguments around trump's supreme court nominee brad cavanagh are having them glued to the f.b.i. provided the results of a probe into the fictional misconduct accusations against the judge republican seem satisfied but the democrats of. it looks to be a product of an incomplete investigation that was limited perhaps by the wife i don't know i disagree with senator grassley statements that there was no hint of misconduct. meanwhile in the poll shows republican supporters now see the

november vote as being very important a significant increase now almost equalling the view democrats have about the election all to smear a column takes a look at whether there's a correlation it just might be the first time that the ruling party retains a congress after midterms and the midterms are just about a month away in november and a new poll shows that eighty percent of americans from both parties see it as very important now in july the poll showed a ten percent gap between republicans and democrats but then democrats unanimously to continue its efforts to destroy supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh who was accused of sexual assault but this strategy doesn't seem to be working for that trump hammered democrats for this at his rally in west virginia you see what's going on you see this horrible horrible radical group of democrats you see it happening right now they don't care who they are hurt. who they

have to run over in order to get power some have noted that all conservatives not just republicans are taking kavanaugh side saying that this liberal scandal has united the right against democrats and apparently this scandal has reminded them that liberals hate them more than they hate the president saying that they are the deplorable is now so we'll just have to wait to see if these predictions do come true in november political commentator and to the brand logan believes that the covenant a case is yet another time to stop being reelected. brett kavanaugh himself is not really the issue here it could have been anybody could have been somebody on a lift anybody that down on trying to put in people would be against simply because it's donald trump and he has a change of direction of the country and also solidifies legacy people want him to be a one term president to lift their put a lot of money a lot of resources and a lot of time into their kenny days but i don't quite understand how the money they put into it or candidates is also going to impact and empower the opposite because

you see how much effort. every thing happens whether it was a first supreme court just put in an air bridge kavanaugh now the midterms are for like the left the extremes it is they feel like it's an opportunity for these people to come out and express themselves or try to stop and they'll take advantage of it cavanaugh such a period in the country republicans of even being abused and heckled by protesters over the case but it seems those actions may have been a coincidence don't call to 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. this image. what. are you.

sorry. you got from it like that was the senator majority leader mitch mcconnell after his call for the senate to vote on kavanagh a.s.a.p. 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 anybody and you're telling all the names 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 purdue who ran for the restroom after he was confronted by the asian games. we had printed on 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 decide 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 well then 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 almost succeeded at eating ten people's hearts or whatever. to be fair. i think is the richest person on the planet estimated one hundred twelve billion he does give away what two billion dollars to a charity fund for underprivileged people now he's raising salaries we big. leagues and we just a hundred ten billion. well i know it was over one fifty billion for a time but i think it's i think you're right it's back to it's back down depending on the the stock but no look i think that's great i think it's great for these employees to have fifteen dollars an hour but the truth is we as a people are now waiting for the crumbs of of corporate america we're waiting to

see what little pieces they'll dish out to us and that two billion that he gives to charity is it's better than nothing but it shouldn't we should have to wait for the crumbs the he should be taxed a amazon should be taxed amazon paid zero in taxes last year it's disgusting the way these corporations and the richest people wanted it three or five men now have the same wealth as the bottom fifty percent of the world it is a disgusting scenario in a world that has abundance a world that could feed everyone that could house everyone and we're supposed to celebrate that you know jeff bezos gave what to him is a couple of dollars to help these people that are exploited in our system. but he said this was a basis for chrissake now he's congratulating we so easily both are we going to see lots of positive press now about amazon and basis. yeah i think we are easily bought i think that is one thing you can say for us we we do a great job of being easily bought i don't know if sanders still has some

complaints i certainly hope he dies i know that jeremy corbyn stated or tweeted that while you know while this is a good thing for these workers to have this fifteen dollars it is not something that amazon just willingly did it with big came about because workers organize they work together they spoke up about their situation about the exploitation and so really we have workers and activists to thank for amazon getting pressured enough that they're willing to give their employees a little bit more and you know let's hope that keeps going let's hope they give these workers some job security for a change in benefits and stop patenting things like cages they patented cages that they can have their workers in while they are on the warehouse floors we believe in the thoughts of the host of the show were directed to not leak out lee great to speak to many thanks. now the economic sun

beijing and washington is escalating with both sides slumping hefty import tariffs on each other the u.s. vice president mike pence is now even claimed china's goal is to help start on top china has initiated an unprecedented effort to influence american public opinion the two thousand and eighteen elections and the environment leading into the twenty twenty presidential elections china wants a different american president. term brought in a first wave of tariffs on chinese goods beijing answered with restrictions on u.s. imports it also filed an official complaint with the world trade organization washington then followed up with more than two hundred billion dollars worth of terrorists against china and a crucial retaliation china announced that stopping all u.s. oil imports on the country's top treat carries admits business has quote totally stopped beijing and in the second largest importer of u.s. oil geoffrey albert took the editorial director of the american institute that

economic research thinks washington will lose this trade will. do us is that going to lose because if you look at what's happening in them china right now they're actually lowering terrorists on many goods or. from imports from other countries besides the rest like actually lowering tariffs that's actually a good thing for chinese consumers and that's going to help the chinese economy and china is seeking to become. independent in terms of its fuel needs from the u.s. going forward this is a presumption widely shared all over china and they're definitely going to achieve it because the u.s. does not have a monopoly on oil exports so they're going to get away with it and it's actually in the end really going to hurt u.s. exports. president putin is in india for a two day visit it's expected putin in the indian prime minister narendra modi will

discuss broadening nuclear ties with russia bidding to build another nuclear power plant in the country in addition to the one already under construction moreover the two lead is a dishonest multi-billion dollar contract that's for the delivery of the russian s four hundred defense system for the prospect of india purchasing it has ruffled feathers in washington as it did in other countries on the zinc is done of explains why. for russia selling its weapons is not exactly business as usual in the strict sense of the word it has inadvertently expanded into the realm of geopolitics because the united states gets visibly upset when anyone shows interest in buying brushes arms even made it official that preventing russia from exporting its weapons is part of their game we will continue to vigorously implement sanctions and urge all countries to curtail relationships with russia's defense and intelligence sectors both of which are linked to malign activities worldwide retribution for disobedience was swift with china it recently bought some of

russia's most advanced fighter jets and answer most all defense systems and washington through beijing in the same basket with moscow slapping it with sanctions stirring fury in china but world china is at least a geopolitical rival of washington and turkey isn't it's a valued nato member but still one ankara showed interest in buying russia's as four hundred systems well the united states made it clear it does not want them there you know it goes against our policy to have a nato allies such as turkey use an asse four hundred system part of the problem with that it is that it is not in iraq robel with other nato systems and so we are against the having some of our partners and allies around the world potentially purchase us for hundreds it would trigger a cancerous action i'm not going to get into that but we have made very clear what could trigger sanctions for other countries and entities around the world the list

of countries washington has tried to convince against buying russia's weapons goes on but with india everything hints that it won't be just words and almost a godfather style of a threat the pentagon has warned that it has its sanction machinery in first gear if india decides to follow through with the purchase of russia's missile defense system we would still have. very significant concerns if india pursued major new platforms and systems i can't sit here and tell you that they would be exempt that we would use that waiver that will be the decision of the president if he is faced with a major new platform capability that india has acquired from russia the united states has essentially backtracked on the previous promise to defend india from the sad sanctions that's why they expected arms deal is such a bold move for india and i guess done of reporting from new delhi r.t. and i think you're right it's that thanks for staying with r.t. updates coming your way in half an hour.

what politicians do listen to them. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president injury. or something want to be. at it like to be dressed as a likable forty three a boy can't be good. i'm interested always in the water is about how. this should. come over the stick you could do should enjoy insurrection some civil to consider this but his. brokenness sure puts us off the

thought of the credit of it essential on his own good assessment should our king is out of his excitement was too good to pursue deepest so please look to someplace in the city to visit to even up to the locals will do such good job. as crews of it down to the holes as represented the screw for to them pulls it in the.
