you're watching r.t. international bringing you here live news update this hour welcome to the program. in the indian capital prime minister narendra modi and russia's president vladimir putin have signed a contract for the delivery of s four hundred air defense systems with new delhi defying threats of potential sanctions from washington. now our team is in the indian capital for us it was a very warm exchange between the two leaders wasn't it. well indeed jackie was very warm and i mean the whole scale of today's meeting while it was staggering if i was to list everything that you do leaders will discuss from nuclear cooperation to agree culture to space and so on and so forth could be easily take the rest of the day and also a very warm very cordial atmosphere. between the leaders have
7:02 am
a listen. harder sort of word jumped out to india for a special attention to its relationship with russia in this fast changing world the relationship is becoming even more important nineteenth meeting gives a fresh impetus to a privileged blankenship talks have given new meaning to a mutual cooperation. as they were used to do with the as our military cooperation goes beyond supplies of russian weapons countries jointly macon developed military products we maintain regular contacts between the defense ministries and general staffs of our countries when discussing the international agenda we confirm that russia and india is here to similar positions on key global issues so we've decided to step up our cooperation. well when it comes to salvation of course military is on the first point he calls the first place because what india did today purchased russia's has four hundred anti missile defense systems and it's not just
7:03 am
a purchase it's not just india expanding its capabilities against countries they can use as rivals we trap pakistan or china it is also a bold geo political statement because well washington has a problem when anybody shows interest or indeed by its russian weapons for example china when it bought the very same complex the very same a missile defense system off russia and some fighter jets to go with it and they were slammed with the sanctions and which caused fury in beijing with the services are enough to beat the drum for new sanctions and anyway the soviet era k.g.b. is long gone the image of public enemy number one is long overdue for an overhaul and this is the perfect opportunity to consolidate the perfect storm i think this is a coordinated attack look this was got everything it's got it's got chemical weapons got election meddling it's got doping it's got. every other thing you can think of
7:04 am
that the russians are guilty of and i think this cloud of accusations is its own purpose and a normal rational people would say well why would they be say these things unless they had some purpose in mind the purpose is to poison any possible rapprochement between washington especially and russia as donald trump said he wanted to do during the campaign to make sure that cannot happen and that relations continue to go from bad to worse we may not know the whole truth which saw it is hiding something but it's not received which is important and the russians you know you both and he's becoming firmly embedded in public mindset. we spoke to russia's envoy to the u.k. and he claims that evidence from the british side is 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
7:05 am
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 cyber security and he said 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 organization you know if you names there are expelled in all these things but the beef i mean this is this substance is not. basically given so we're going to
7:06 am
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're ready to sit down and talk. to the u.s. congress has approved the creation of a sixty billion dollar investment agency the fun projects and developing countries this has led some to question what president donald trump's top priority is to make america great again or to challenge china health care martin explains. remember donald trump's plan to put america first i will always put america first america first america first rebuild and restore america's depleted infrastructure and i've been in construction and building all my life i love it. i love the smell of a construction site right the roads railways power plants and water systems of the
7:07 am
united states are still in some pretty poor conditions but donald trump said that fixing it up would be a breeze infrastructure is the easiest of all but now the department of transport disagrees with him there appears to be a lock of consensus and how to pay for this and tom told us how he was going to pay for rebuilding the united states he was going to do it by cutting overseas spending we have spent seven trillion dollars in the middle east seven trillion dollars what a mistake we're trying to build roads and bridges and fix bridges that are falling down and we have a hard time getting the money it's crazy and the usa is already saving money this way they've just cut aid to the pakistanis to the palestinians and to the united nations so are you ready to start revving up those drills and jackhammers are you ready to start pouring some cement and laying rails well yes but not in the usa the usa is about to spend sixty billion dollars to build infrastructure in developing
7:08 am
countries sixty billion is that number sound familiar well it should that's the amount of money china promised to africa last month and it's pretty clear that u.s. politicians heard about it this investment will allow us to reduce poverty in areas that are critical to our national security compete with chinese influence in the developing world so if you were all excited about railways and highways and development here at home wait a minute looks like america is not going to be first after all it's a very strange situation to be talking about one being sixty billion dollars in infrastructure development in the third world which certainly needs it while not funding the disastrous infrastructure in the us which is as bad as in the third world i don't see it going anywhere frankly big. i think when this comes out and american see it happening they're going to freak out because our roads are as bad
7:09 am
as third world roads why it didn't happen was because. trump had other things he wanted to do more which was to give tax breaks to the rich and to. a huge huge increase in the military budget. as caleb mentioned the u.s. is seeking to compete with chinese influence in the developing world and it looks like washington is already attacking beijing on several fronts first there's america's trade war with china and now vice president mike pence is accusing beijing of trying to remove trump from the white house and china has responded strongly accusing washington of interfering in other country's affairs 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 it is ridiculous for the u.s.
7:10 am
side to stigmatise its normally exchanges and cooperation with china as china interfering in its internal affairs and elections the international community already knows full well who wants an early infringes upon others sovereignty interferes in others' internal affairs and undermines others' interests. after trump brought in the first wave of tariffs on chinese goods beijing answered with restrictions on u.s. imports and also filed an official complaint with the world trade organization washington then followed up with more than two hundred billion dollars worth of tariffs against china retaliated by imposing sixty billion in levies also china has announced it's stopping all american oil imports one of the country's top current carriers says business has quote totally stopped beijing had been the second largest importer of us oil jeffrey albert tucker from the american institute for economic research things that china may have the upper hand in this trade war. do
7:11 am
us is that going to lose because if you look at what's happening then china right now they're actually lowering terrorists on many goods or. from imports from other countries besides the rest like actually lowering tariffs so it's actually a good thing for chinese consumers and it's good it's great 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. a former international monetary fund chief is now potentially facing up to four years and jail for allegedly using company credit cards and it seems he's not the only holder of the top job at the i.m.f.
7:12 am
to fallen from grace. and for several years dominic strobes can took part in six parties around the world that involved prostitutes the former i.m.f. chief has been charged with involvement in a prostitution ring off running out of french luxury hotels. i am not satisfied with it but this. point in time when one just. turned the
7:13 am
page and move on. still to come in the program hundreds are arrested during a protest against the u.s. supreme court nominee right kavanah that story right after this short break. slicing americans work after taxes stalin and obamacare stalin that up through the central bank that money transferred into the pockets of a few cartel members to trade while the make up gap social unrest social cohesion arrests and wide scale poverty and watch that happen.
7:14 am
i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. is over twenty trillion dollars and. more than ten white collar crime stamped each day. eighty five percent of global will be loans to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trees per second per second and that one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial. but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only.
7:15 am
welcome back hundreds have been arrested during a sit in protest at u.s. senate offices against supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh. march to two senate office buildings with banners and signs protesters at one of the buildings filled the atrium and they refused to leave at least made nearly three hundred arrests the protest came right after reports emerged stating that the f.b.i. had failed to find evidence supporting allegations against cavanagh of sexual misconduct and although the documents have not been released yet they're already firing up republican enthusiasm for the midterms us america report. 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
7:16 am
important now in july the poll showed a ten percent gap between republicans and democrats but they democrats unanimously took continuous 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 they are the rebels are in order to get power some have noted that all conservatives not just republicans are taking kavanagh's 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 that deplorable so now so we'll just have to wait to see if these predictions do come
7:17 am
true in november. so the backlash to cavanagh's nomination may end up playing into the republicans hands of political commentator anthony logan things there would have been an outcry whomever trump nominated. brett kavanaugh himself is not really the issue here it could have been anybody could have been somebody on a lift anybody they don't i'm sure will put in people will be against simply because they don't know any he has ability to change the 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 side because we see how much effort. every thing happens whether it was a new. supreme court just put in air bridge kavanaugh now they may terms offer like the left the extremes it is they feel like it's an opportunity for people to
7:18 am
come out and express themselves to try to stop it they'll take advantage of it. the leaders of serbia and russia recently discussed the situation in the balkans during a second visit by alexander broadchurch to moscow this year the talks come amid tensions on the border between serbia and kosovo a former serbian region which declared independence in two thousand and eight are selfish governments they spoke to her church you can watch the full interview later today. very comfortable. for their support for serbia's territorial integrity which is not. only an issue of which became an issue of minnesota. because of you know let's roll auctions. some other you know territories or people who are nations we need to find a compromising solution between serbs and albanians which means that it cannot be
7:19 am
the case. and serbs go. again absolutely everything. i've ever dreamed of. the serbs got absolutely nothing. and that was our that was serbia's frost and the only position that we have never left is my impression right when i say that you're probably first president in a long time who is actually open to mending ties with kosovo and you speak about it but you don't get much response from the kosovo side you're you're right we're side of brussels agreement and we fulfilled all our obligations from brussels agreement . but the other side. had only one of the games. which. which was forty forty five percent of overall brussels agreement and that's
7:20 am
a legation was. an establishment of subcommunities service was association doesn't it they didn't do it they didn't do a single small step forward on this issue. ahead 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 at a time when the country's employment level is at a record high. and was in 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 donald trump has
7:21 am
previously attacked amazon over its tax setup and criticized its 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 boss jeff bezos . and want to congratulate was based on doing exactly the right thing yes raise the minimum wage to fifty dollars and i will go this is because those who support for raising the national minimum wage earlier we spoke with our teens lee camp host of redacted tonight who thinks amazon's real aim is 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 they work together they spoke up about their situation and
7:22 am
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 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. that's our global news breakdown 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 tuning in this hour. and you.
