not here in moscow thanks for joining us this is our. moscow house responded to the string of accusations made by the west on the alleged cyber attacks calling those claims a directed propaganda campaign against russia now this is after a number of countries an international organization said that russian military personnel were behind attempted cyber attacks on groups from the international chemical weapons watchdog food to russia's own news agency there were hundreds of victims targeted by these russian criminals the russian government needs to know russia's indiscriminate campaign exposed. this reckless behavior irresponsible behavior from moscow. well here's how events unfolded on thursday the u.s. neverland's and britain almost single technically accused russia's g.r.u. military intelligence service of a string of cyber attacks r.t.

correspondent daniel hawkins joins me now to following the story daniel and. the accusations were made without russian reaction what's been said yes a firm response from moscow with counter accusations towards netherlands and the u.k. branding all this story effectively stoking russophobia anti russian propaganda and what the kremlin described as spying mania across the globe moscow's question the timing of all this these incidents in the netherlands at least alleged to have happened several months ago now the expulsion of those people allegedly or the diplomatic passports but said to be do you agents military intelligence agents the information that had just come out now though the photographs the full information the statement and cetera and moscow or the foreign ministry russia has said that these has served as a distraction from other events such as the meeting of o.p.c. w coming up next week which russia and the west of clashed on before given the w powers to attribute blame for chemical incidents. of course being one of the

alleged victims of hacking attempt to your you offices. also say music revelations distract from new evidence that the russian energy released on the mh seventeen boeing that was downed in twenty fourteen over ukraine they said that this doesn't lead to anything constructive and simply leads to discrimination if you will against russia this is what they had to say. on the backdrop of recent years highly exaggerated western paranoia unquote militant russia cyber spies who all the while i spoke western politicians logic will even quote back would russia and a citizen involved country with a mobile device specific as a spy. so i've seen claims of cyber attacks against russia before is there anything different about these well firstly these allegations show what's seen as a clear pattern of global marline activity a phrase used before by someone of that officials as well it's the first time the

majority of these attacks or all of them rather have been linked not to sort of face this russian hackers or sort of semi semi named groups or vague kremlin agents these are tied concretely to the geo you the russian of military intelligence that's the allegation being made here. the accusations also united into one sort of front of us they may not have been issued pretty much at the same time or the very within a very short space of time here by multiple actors the us the netherlands the u.k. u.k. and that's official stating that beijing is trying to hack the m h seventeen investigation through a hotel in malaysia a grand jury in pennsylvania indicting seven people who their lives to be g.o.u. agents hacking the us primaries elections the british authorities again saying that after the script while poisoning case the foreign office was targeted but the porton down approach was also targeted they've all come together an issue these statements showing

a sort of united front against what they see as russian aggression this is what devon williamson the u.k. defense secretary 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 relations of course haven't been easy between russia and the west over the past months and years this will. to much more media speculation to this vicious cycle getting in continued accusations counter-accusations counter claims that cetera really will not make things any easier in the form of a relationship and of course no doubt this will be bridged global news tomorrow as well in the days and weeks to come remains to be seen how the governments of the countries involved will react will the potential for more sanctions talk of sanctions perhaps counter measures well that will come in the coming days and weeks and just when you think it isn't possible u.k. in particular given williamson there again u.k. vesa relations continue to sour many thanks for the update. and earlier we

spoke to russia's envoy in the u.k. he notes evidence from the british side but still lacking we believe that this kind of reckless and explain why first of all this statements are not supported by any evidence this is first second we hear of this kind of of the. word in our time in this to solve and seventeen for a former foreign secretary boris johnson was in moscow. of russian foreign minister offered him to have a consultations on the service you curity and he were exposed whatever is being said today if anything comes out it will probably disprove it but it is in the future and we need to know the truth now. there's now less than five weeks to go till america heads to the polls for the mid-term

elections and it seems that the continuing arguments around donald trump supremes court nominee brit cavanagh are having an influence after the f.b.i. provided the results of a probe into the sexual misconduct accusations against the judge republicans seem satisfied the democrats are sounding the alarm. it looks to be a product of an incomplete investigation that was limited perhaps by the white house i don't know and i disagree with senator grassley statements that there was no hint of misconduct. meanwhile in october poll shows were public and supporters now see that over voters being very important a significant increase now almost equalling the fear the democrats have about the election artie's miracle and takes a look at whether there's a correlation. it just might be the first time that the ruling party retains

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 get hurt. who have to run. in order to get power some have noted that all conservatives not just republicans are taking kavanaugh side saying that this liberals for a generation. is. 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 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 helps make and in our commercials it depends on what the end game here is if the end game is to block a judge well the maybe not but that's the issue here is to spread democracy like george serves as money is supposed to do. that might be that might be working out in in their favor i think this is really trump a trump. situation unfortunately this isn't about accusations that were

made and it's not about a person is guilty 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 and initiatives. out of the christmas shopping rush retail giant amazon has announced it's hiking its minimum wage to fifteen dollars an hour in a bid to attract new workers that's almost two dollars above the average according to the bureau of labor statistics and is a need to hire a lot of people in a short period of time and the question is how many people want to do that kind of work fifteen dollars an hour will help we listen to our critics thought hard about what we wanted to do and decided we want to lead president trump has previously attacked down resign over its tax setup and criticize this low payments to the u.s. postal service which delivers its parcels senator bernie sanders who joined the

criticism says other companies should now follow the lead of amazon's boss jeff bezos i want to congratulate was based on was doing exactly the right thing yes raise the minimum wage to fit he dollars and i want. the visuals have indicated his support for raising the national minimum wage a little earlier i spoke to artie's lee camp host of redacted tonight he thinks that amazon's only a was to attract good publicity. i don't know if sanders still has some complaints i certainly hope he does it is not something that amazon just willingly did it with big came about because workers organize their work together they spoke up about their situation and i think that's great i think it's great for these employees they 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 better than nothing but 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. the economic standoff between beijing and washington is escalating both signs of slumping hefty and poor tariffs on each other the u.s. vice president mike pence is now even claimed that china's goal is to help our president trump. 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 after donald trump brought in a first wave of tariffs on chinese goods beijing and sit with restrictions on u.s.

imports it also filed an official complaint with the w.t. washington then followed up with well than two hundred billion dollars worth of tariffs against china in a crucial retaliation china announced that stopping all american oil imports of the country's top crude carriers admits the business is quote totally stopped beijing had been the second largest importer of us oil jeffrey albert tucker editor oil editorial director of the american institute for economic research thinks washington will lose this trade war. do us is definitely 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 it'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 to put in the indian prime minister narendra modi will discuss broadening nucleotides russia's bidding to build another nuclear power plant in the country in addition to the one already being built moreover the cheerleaders on to sign a multi-billion dollar contract that's for the delivery of the russian s four hundred defense system that the prospect of india purchasing it has ruffled feathers in washington as indeed it did in other countries has done of explains why . for russia selling its weapons is not exactly business as usual in the strict

sense of the word 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 well 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 ally 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 if we trigger katz's 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 would be the decision of the president if you 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 bald move for india done of reporting from new delhi r.t. . animal welfare activism under the banner meat is murder is becoming increasingly militant in france the country's witnessing a spike in attacks on slaughterhouses he spoke to one french but says that the windows of his shop were smashed by gets. old there are tours of the matter and the incident happened around three in the morning i came down and saw that the door had been hit in three places they also painted the species it was here on the other medium. is what i bought i took the pictures mediately the police arrived i will

show you where you want to go therefore there is the picture of the damaged door. it is not these are the marks on the other million you mean yes it is where it says species isms and these are the rocks they used to smash the glass. of that case is one of many leading splattering shops selling meat with fake blood so i think slaughterhouse is on fire and be facing a butchers with graffiti incident of even prompted worry but just to send a letter to the french president among micron in a bid to prevent more violence. this is a civil war this gang go on mr president should all workers take up arms to defend themselves and their businesses to another fight and i believe these people should be punished as what did they attack large corporations overseas the only attacks small businesses because it's easy the people who can see why why does everybody have us not eating vegetables only because these activists one for everyone has

their own preferences and we must respect all the choices mostly galatea waters in all but as i've already gained some support from officials with the head of the republican party saying two hundred thousand euros in compensation will be paid out to those affected we spoke to animal rights activist bono 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 attacks 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 or if it's

a good strategy then we should do it about the latest news for you half an hour see it on. by. the church secret indeed priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the geographic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot where the previous standard is not known the highest ranks of the

catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that it does no good as the i intend to. use this out in. this. case faith. you know world of big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's hard for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.
