india defies the threats of u.s. sanctions by signing a deal with russia to buy as advanced a s. four hundred defense system. a tribe you know here's how informants to put to them i find secret service are allowed to break the law if it prevents the biggest cry. from. the west takes out of russia's g r u military intelligence service thanks opposing an alleged campaign it's time for attacks on the world including only international chemical weapons watchdog.

a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me make an effort to have you with us this hour. a false contract to deliver russian as four hundred ad defense systems to india has been signed by vladimir putin and they're enjoying modi the latest pens the dail despite washington's attempts to stop india signing. off is in new delhi for us the whole scale of today's meeting while it was staggering if i was to list everything that the two leaders will discuss from nuclear corp drug culture 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 are to. pay special attention to its relationship with russia and this fast changing world the relationship is becoming even more important on one thousand smiting gives a fresh impetus to our privileged to the ship talks have given new meaning to our mutual cooperation. as they were used to do with the use our military cooperation

goes beyond supplies of russian weapons our countries jointly make and develop 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 are here to similar positions on key global issues so we've decided to step up our cooperation so among all these deals one that particularly stands out is the one that finalizes india's acquisition 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 advance russian weapon washington falls flat with washington for example when china bought the very same and a 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 doing 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. amounts can noria chair of the india power corporation told is the juror ability of ties with russia counts particularly as a turbulent time for world trade. but i think long term partners always better because you are in a position to see the ups and downs of each of the countries you have been there for so many decades i'm not saying that you should not look for new partners but. good friends have to be you will be looking at the strengthening the relationship

in this geopolitical steer the situation now in the world it is that he or understand that fox news would be for each one is important should be applied to one country trying to move over to the other countries with good idea it's me more to be that good or to be in a good situation even moving your political situation. now for thirty years informants to britain's homeland security service and my five being allowed to commit crimes on british soil without fear of prosecution even if only if it prevents most serious offenses the tribunals in the country has been told an associate check in now has the details for us this is indeed a case that was brought forward by for human rights groups including privacy international and reprieve who are 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 to supply. sexual assault on the grave criminality in the u.k. well of 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 and 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. this acuity service has a long standing policy for the agent handlers to agree to agents participating in crime for the avoidance of doubt and i should be clear that such oversight would not provide endorsement of the legality of the policy it 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. break cavaliers nomination to become a u.s. supreme court judge will advance to a final floor vote likely to be on saturday and it's off to a key senate procedural vote passed fifty one to forty nine but that results unlikely to deter and take have enough protesters. i think the was thank. god for you going to jail in thought it. was tough but you know what's the u.s.

. capitol has advanced to the final round of voting with fifty one yes and forty nine nays the final vote will bring an end to the month long confirmation process which witnessed a series of controversies kavanagh was accused of sexual assault by three different women and when the f.b.i. found him not guilty democrats still weren't satisfied and called for a new probe anti kavanaugh sentiment has trickled down to the grass roots and now protesters have been emerging all over the country and just yesterday three hundred protesters were arrested in d.c. and we asked protesters what exactly they were protesting check out their answers i feel like these decisions are being made by. a lot of great men who might not know our situation and there's a lot of women out there who have experienced things like that like dr ford story and you know the fact that they're continuing their vote despite what she had to

say is really disheartening like they're not even listening to the atrocities that have been happening since november twenty sixth team must end and colonise just the cherry on the top of a very very rotten sunday how do you feel about kavanagh's records during the bush administration that you want the senators to. drive you say thank you to the doctor . that. he has lied about. memoranda that were stolen from the democrats he has equivocated about his legacy for from you know. numerous other small and big lines. i believe that if he gets nominated. we get rid of a lot of protective regulations on the environment. and he's also got a nice package so we know that he's going to be a lobbyist for. the stores both sides testified before the senate last thursday and

one of kavanagh's friends a top facebook official decided to attend for moral support this resulted in a wave of backlash against facebook a platform that supports a liberal values and then he was forced to apologize check out his statement i want to apologize i recognize this moment is a deeply painful one internally and externally some took it as tacit support for cavanagh this even prompted zuckerberg to respond saying that he was a close friend of the queues and that he didn't break any company rules to stop cavanagh movement is pretty much proof that in today's political climate showing up to a protest with a cardboard sign in hand is effective political resistance and it doesn't look like it will stop anytime soon. let's just further now we're joined by alessandro bruno senior analyst at financial news website the lombardi left says mr bruno thank you for joining us on the program now the seventh f.b.i. investigation of brett kavanaugh has been completed and apparently no evidence

corroborating this sexualisation is against him was found while into his opponents satisfied with this. well. that is probably i would say due to the popularity of the meat to movement. which has which obviously lurks in the background in this story and also i wouldn't be surprised if a number of n.g.o.s. have been mobilized perhaps you can find that to protest the allegations against judge tono just like. the movement after the trump won the election in two thousand sixteen and if you remember the day of the no gration there were many women's protests. in washington and other cities around the world in fact so that protest movement regardless

of the effectiveness cardboard signs and all. i'm not surprised at all as some have implied that cavanagh and others accused of sexual assault on guilty until they prove themselves innocent if the burden of proof is on the a kid so it doesn't not turn on its head the whole western system of justice. indeed i do have a number of difficulties with this process from many different points of view for one thing the idea that what we do teenagers can then as. you know as adults. is problematic in itself however there are criminals particularly in the united states who are accused as adults when their are teenagers and have to live with those consequences for a lifetime so that concept is not new in the united states. i wish it were more transparent and but. my issue with the that was the

case is that judge kavanagh is not defending himself from jail or for many criminal accusations he is centrally participating in a job interview so in a sense you could almost interpret the questioning real the related to the. allegations of sexual assault or other lines of questioning. and evaluation of his character his ability to be a judge and one when i saw the performance during that hearing the questioning last week i was sitting least appalled at what i saw whether or not i believed in his innocence which is what we've seen in these significant protests against cavanagh or a senate offices more than three hundred people have been arrested and your past an

opinion do you think cavanagh is ready so unsuited to the court as to justify such a significant campaign against him. in fairness yes i do i think. this case. is reflective much much more than about sexual assault or justice and judges than. it is about the very difficult political climate in the united states any opportunity right now is good to drive a wedge between republicans and democrats and that's the most unfortunate problem the overriding problem here because. if anything. we will that this. hearing will cause. more division and in fact i would not be surprised that the november midterm elections will be

we'll see a surge of participants from both sites i think perhaps that might be a desirable outcome to have more voters come out but we will also have more voters that are more divided and. how many more of such cases can the united states. absorb before serious riots and you know as women ascend up as the one nine hundred sixty s. or worse. emerge i'm not so i wouldn't be surprised at violent outbreaks any time soon and not just over a cowboy not. the climate is extremely volatile right now senior analyst at the non-body lettuce honest entrepreneur i thank you for the time. thank you. now in other news russia found itself confronted on thursday over the alleged activities of its military intelligence service the g.r.u.

a number of western countries and international organizations called out moscow for dirty cyber tricks targeting groups ranging from the international chemical weapons watchdog to even a russian news agency artie's it down a hawk ins breaks down the details. election interference troll factories this information man hacking we've heard most of it before but the latest charge sheet against russia is all encompassing and endless there were hundreds of victims targeted by these russian criminals if the flowers international law in this way russia's indiscriminate 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 path of behavior the russian government needs to know that they want to fully condemn this attack took it will be exposed and that will

be consequences it seems every accusation of malign activity over the last four years from the downing of m.h. seven team to the water doping scandal has come back all at once united under a common name and symbol before it was off from vague russian hackers agents or just putin but apparently we can now maim the entity responsible for everything all along the g o r u russian military intelligence even specific names and faces have been linked with the alleged crimes seven individuals were indicted by the us with four of them also accused the involvement in the netherlands o.p.c. w hack and three war already featured in robert mueller is continuing russia meddling probe this group of just sixteen people has certainly kept busy according to the latest allegations. how can the malaysia airlines probe the o.p.c. w solsbury poising investigation and he don't get agencies from canada to brazil

the u.s. election you name it the hand of the g.r.u. is never far away and according to some the allegations are irrefutable proof of russia's guilt in all other incidents here you have evidence of the russian military launching a cyber attack on the very organization the international organization in the netherlands set up to investigate those novacek attacks and why would you do that if you were the guilty party and as we've seen before there is no need to me tell you real standards of evidence remember when the n.s.a. was accused of spying on charts of the merkel back in twenty fifteen well the german federal prosecutor in the system had a legal burden of proof to be met to prove this low such luxury what rushes in the dock they're almost certain and high confidence from u.k. security 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 that the russians are guilty of and i think this cloud a back use asians if their own purpose in 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 they cannot happen and that relations continue to go from bad to worse we may not know the whole truth all which side is hiding something but it's image and narrative which is important and the russians you know you bogeyman is becoming firmly embedded in public mindset. still to come iran's foreign minister has made a surprising overture to watch rival saudi arabia details for you off the short

break. thanks. how can reopen those books cool poems. except. the recognizing when the. unilaterally proclaimed. they were doing some. watching americans work other taxes stalling at obamacare or stalling it up through the central bank that money transferred into the pockets of a few cartel members to create while they make a gap social unrest social cohesion risk wide scale poverty and watch that happen.

and what holds as. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president injury. or some want to. have to go right to be close this is what the four three of the more people. interested always in the waters in the. first city. welcome back start with news from the gaza israel border now three hundred seventy six palestinians have been injured and to including a twelve year old boy have been killed during protests on friday as according to local health officials israel says around twenty thousand palestinians gathered at the border as part of continuing demonstrations.

except demonstrators gather every friday for the great march of return they regularly set fire to tires and throw explosives that israeli forces the protests began in the spring when donald trump recognized jerusalem as israel's capital and moved the u.s. embassy there from tel aviv and around two hundred palestinians have been killed during the protests. in the wake of donald trump's

controversial comments. when there were doubts he would love to hear your thoughts on all of our stories so do get in touch by following us on social media will be back at the top of the hour with the latest headlines. with more make good manufacture consent to step into the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the famous merry go round lifts only the one percent. nor middle of the room six. million relieved.

when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer it be with the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying is just no way to present in that we're even many of the dems families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families want to that's going to give them peace it's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. in a world of big partisan group 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 smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see that.
