india defines the threats of u.s. sanctions by signing a deal with russia to bytes advanced s. four hundred defense system. tribunals here's how informants the britons are my five secret service are allowed to break the law if it prevents the big rock. the west it's out of russia's g.r.u. military intelligence service exposing on alleged campaign of cyber attacks around the world including on the international chemical weapons watchdog.

joining us very good evening this is r.t. international. a vast contract to deliver russian s four hundred ad defense systems to india has been signed by vladimir putin. that lead to spend the deal despite washington's attempts to stop india signing. off is in new delhi force. the whole scale of today's meeting while it was staggering if i was to list everything that the two leaders of wall discussed from nuclear corp to agriculture to space and so on and so forth could easily take the rest of the day and also a very warm very cordial atmosphere between the leaders harder so toward just about the india very special attention to its relationship with russia in this fast changing world the relationship is becoming even more on one thousand smiting gives a fresh impetus to

a privilege to the shoot out talks have given you millions for mutual cooperation. as a minister speaking with me as our military cooperation goes beyond supplies russians westerners countries jointly may can develop military products we maintain regular contacts between defense ministries and general staffs of our countries when discussing the international agenda we confirm that russia and india here to similar positions on key global issues so we've decided to step up our cooperation among all these deals one that particularly stands out is the one that finalized india's act with vision of russia's as four hundred anti-missile defense systems and it's not just about india expanding into defensive capabilities against its regional rivals like pakistan or china for example it's also new delhi sending a strong kill political message because you see every time someone shows interest or indeed by a russian advanced russian weapon washington falls flat with washington for example

when china bought the very same and to missile defense system which india has now ports and some fighter jets to go with it off russia it was slapped with sanctions and now india is defying this potential threat even though washington for example one pentagon general has said that while indeed sanctions are on the table it is ultimately up to donald trump eventually it will be donald trump's call whether or not to punish india for what it's done. so really it's interesting while russia and india are doing business it's fair to say that the ball is in washington's court. haven't can already as chair of the india power corporation told us the juror ability of ties with russia counts particularly with a turbulent time for world trite. i think long term partners always better because you are in a position to see the ups and downs of future of the countries you have been there for so many decades i'm not saying that you should not look for new partners but by

and in frames have to be you will be looking at just strengthening their relationship in this geopolitical steer the situation now in the world it is very important one to stay in their partners would be important in this one important tool so they apply to one country trying to move over to the other countries with good ideas mean more be that good for the. world situation in moving geopolitical situation. for thirty years informants to britain's homeland security service and my five have been allowed to commit crimes on british soil without fear of prosecution if it prevented more serious offenses that's what the tribunals in the country has been told us the situation has details this is indeed a case that was brought forward by for human rights groups including privacy

international and reprieve or arguing that it's important to know the extent of the seriousness of the crimes that m i five could have potentially been getting away with. it appears that the security service believes that good if it thinks it would be in the public interest authorized but disciplined torture sexual assault on the grave criminality in the u.k. well no this tribunal heard from these groups bringing forward the allegations and demanding answers to a secret policy and what was referred to as british domestic security services the m i five working under secret policy that has been dubbed the third direction it was said that this is a policy that has been in place for decades under different versions and is still in place today and according to these groups bringing this case forward they are saying it is crucial to find out whether or not any of those actions could have been violations of human rights of basic human rights so that's what they want to

know and in terms of the documents that were presented at these hearings there was one very largely redacted government policy document that essentially talks about the occasional necessity of criminality when it comes to such issues as well as a letter dating back to twenty twelve written by then prime minister david cameron to a judge who is overseeing such issues at the at the time essentially calling for him to not pay too much attention to the legality of such operations. the security service has a long standing policy for the agent handlers to agree to agents participating in crime for the avoidance of doubt i should be clear that such oversight would not provide endorsement of the legality of the policy you would not be asked to provide a view on whether any particular case should be referred to the prosecuting authorities well in this letter david cameron does bring up the question of up to actually making this information public and then goes on to say he kind of decides

against it citing as has become so traditional national security so given really the thick veil of secrecy surrounding this issue as well as the apparent longstanding existence of such conduct of operation it really seems like this is a case that is going to be dragging out for quite some time. but cover north nomination to become a u.s. supreme court judge will advance to a final floor vote likely on saturday after a key senate procedural vote was passed fifty one to forty nine that results from likely to deter antigovernment protests.

in. the snow can joins in on the line now from washington d.c. with more on this lingering confirmation samir a bring us up to date place. well saturday's vote will bring an end to the month long confirmation process over the past few weeks we've witnessed a wave of controversy over brett kavanaugh trump's supreme court nominee who was accused of sexual assault that allegedly took place during his high school year sometime in the eighty's this was followed by two other women accusing him of sexual assault and cavanagh kabanov denied all of these accusations both sides testified in the senate last thursday this prompted trombetta to launch a week long investigation the f.b.i. found him not guilty but did not release anything to the public but the democrats weren't satisfied they demanded another investigation claiming it was incomplete

and limited by the white house and anti-pattern are protests have been staged all over the country just yesterday three hundred people were arrested in d.c. and we asked protesters what they do if he is kind of tomorrow let's take a look at how do you feel about having those records during the bush administration wanted to. drive you. thank you to. the atrocities that have been happening since november twenty sixth must end and it's just the cherry on the top of a very very rotten sunday and i feel like these decisions are being made by. a lot of men who might not know our situation and there's a lot of women out there that experience things like that like dr seward story and . the fact that they're continuing their vote despite what she had to say is really

just like they're not even listening. lied about. memoranda that were stolen from the democrats he has a quiver kidded about his legacy for. new. other small and big lines and i believe that if he gets nominated. we have to get rid of a lot of protective regulations on the environment. and he's also a nice package so we know that he's going to be a lobbyist for. the stores and it's not just that either a facebook official who went to cavanagh is hearing had to apologize just for going to the hearing let's check out what he said. i want to apologize i recognize this moment is a deeply painful one internally and externally. some took it as tacit support for cavanagh it even prompted

a sucker to respond saying that he was a close friend of kavanagh's and that he didn't break any rules a couple of professors who commented on the case were affected in very different ways the first to question the accuser was suspended the other who attacked cavanagh. there was a reaction to that was let go but the stop cavanagh movement is pretty much proof that in today's political climate making a cardboard sign and showing up at a protest is considered effective political resistance passions are the emotions many thanks america bringing is the latest on the story. we also spoke to media legal analyst lionel he thinks that kevin or isn't the real target. all based upon anti trump if this were this is not just this didn't happen would judge his predecessor but for some reason this one hit

a nerve and what it always goes back to is if they can stop the president if they can interrupt the president's plan if they can embarrass the president and if they do anything to affect the midterms coming out the midterm elections and in november it's all part of the benefit they are throwing everything they can into the works to stop the process and what you're seeing is one example of unfairness and injustice after another and it is mind boggling and i trust it will be over with his ultimate confirmation and swearing in. russia found itself confronted on the day of the activities of its military intelligence service that a number of western countries and international organizations called out moscow for dirty cyber tricks targeting groups the range from the international chemical weapons watchdog through to even a russian news agency he's done it hawkins breaks down the details. election

interference troll factories this information meant hiking we've heard most of it before but the latest charge sheet to get thrush is all encompassing and endless there were hundreds of victims targeted by these russian criminals flounce international law in this way russia's this campaign of cyber attacks violations of several u.s. criminal laws they will be exposed russia must stop reckless and irresponsible behavior of. this reckless behavior the russian government needs to know who wants to fully condemn this attack it will be exposed and it will be consequences it seems every accusation of malign activity over the last four years for. the downing of m.h. seventy what are the concerns of the british side the british refused to do this and instead of that they launched reckless attacks on us without any evidence

this is quite of 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 us the british site to give you more information on that and but outran claims the saudi king would be dethroned in no time it's all if it wasn't for american money. we protect saudi arabia would you say they're rich. and i love the gang king solomon but i said. we're protecting you you might not be there for two weeks without us you have to pay for your military patrick henningsen founder of the news website twenty first century what thinks that iran is simply trying to convince saudi arabia it doesn't need to us protection the question is who is the us protecting saudi from they're not going to be invaded overthrown by steering were

young men even there is no country strong enough to topple saudi arabia except for the united states so that's how our protection racket works you pay the mafia and the mafia allows you to run your business and what iran is doing by reaching out is basically exposing that hypocrisy saying look you're under a protectionist arrangement or a protection racket arrangement from the united states and so why don't you think about a collective regional security arrangement that's in everybody's interests and so not to be a client state of the of washington. the u.s. congress has approved the creation of a sixty billion dollar investment agency to fund projects in developing countries but some to question what president of trump's top priority is either to make america great again or to challenge china caleb maupin 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 united states are still in some pretty poor conditions but donald trump said that fixing it up would be a breeze interest russia 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 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 funding 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. as i think when this comes out and american see it happening they're going to freak out because our roads are as bad as third world where a. 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. fund a huge huge increase in the military budget. as kelli just 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 as america's trade war with china now vice president mike pence is claiming beijing's trying to

remove trump from the white house and china's responded strongly accusing washington of interfering in other countries defense 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 left to trim brought in a first wave of tariffs on chinese goods beijing and sit with restrictions on u.s. imports it also followed an official complaint with the washington followed that with more than two hundred billion dollars with the tariffs against china he retaliated by imposing sixteen billion in levies also china has announced that stopping all american oil imports one of the country's top troop carriers says business has totally stopped beijing has been the second largest importer of u.s. soil jeffrey albert took a from the american is the chief economic research thinks that china may have the

upper hand in this trade war. do us is definitely to lose because if you look at what's happening and 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 us exports. the phenomenon of fake news has moved now beyond media and isn't it academia three scholars submitted a series of hoax papers to supposedly serious journals and they got the published.
