the most. secure.

country. in the world including on the international. negotiating table. with the top stories of today on the week's main headlines welcome to the week. the most anticipated a mixed martial arts fine. over the year is now with irish superstock on

a mcgregor losing to russia's undefeated hobby but not a michael medal this happened in las vegas hours ago auntie's alex had a few reports from the russian champs hometown. when it comes to the fight itself it was absolutely incredible how calm and collected little get out of had been through that fight and he won absolutely does a victory in the fourth round after a choke on calling him a great guy but let me just talk about what's happening here in douglas town people are out in the streets celebrating for many it has been not only a sleepless night but probably a sleepless week because the broadcast from last august started at five o'clock in the morning and many packed the cinema which was the main venue for broadcasting this event as early as two at three am in the morning but i doubt anybody would sleep in the city today massive party is on and just a little bit earlier i delved right into that crowd have a look. i'm

either going to win by the sea but don't know when that event it is quite simply goodbye mcgregor i. was. was was it's important to know that most of these legal did not sleep tonight and they were waiting for the slight. was. well i was pretty loud at that have to say and it will be loud during the day but speaking about the fight itself you rightly mention that it was the most anticipated fight probably in the u.f.c. twenty five year long history and. a lot of talk came before the fight particularly

from the extravagant irishman khana mcgregor take a look at that clip. beginning on the top of this like chicken what are you thinking about this day. and am i. going to.

send a message like location location and then i come for you where you want doesn't matter . very responsive you. don't get the money that i was signing for the mechanics chickens your life. for me is more than fight for the tide more than men even you know for me personally. a lot of controversy before the fight a lot of control over see after the fight apparently a scuffle between members of have deep steam and mcgregor steam happened right after the bell right after claimed a clear and just victory but interestingly enough had deep walked off the ring before even being able to raise the belt about the sat as a clear deserved winner that speaks volumes about you know the heat and the control of the cia around that fight but we'll get more details as. progresses we are

waiting for. more details as to exactly what happened after the fight the very controversial fight with a very controversial. u.s. supreme court judge by one of the now or wished margins in the country's history while hundreds of people protested on capitol hill. failed to find convincing evidence that sexual assault senators who took the floor represent. from across the country. in the history of the senate is written. this chapter will be a flashing warning light what to avoid. truly. confirmation . for the senate. or the court. of the country. i just. don't see how. a number of western

countries international organizations. various groups including the international chemical weapons watchdog. 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 they flowers international law in this way russia's indiscriminate campaign of cyber attacks the violations of several u.s. criminal laws they will be exposed russia must stop reckless and irresponsible behavior of russian government needs to know that they want 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 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 often vague russian hackers agents or just putin but apparently we can now name the entity responsible for everything all along the g r u russian military intelligence even specific names and faces have been linked with the alleged crimes seven individuals were indicted by the u.s. 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 is certainly kept busy according to the latest allegations how can the malaysia airlines probe the o.p.c. w solsbury poising investigation and you 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's 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 or the german federal prosecutor in the sisterhood 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 chemical

weapons got a lecture 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 of accusations is its own purpose even though normal rational people would say well why would they be saying these things unless they had some purpose in mind i think it by throwing out individual names for example this sort of concretized as if somehow it makes it look like there really is evidence behind how hard is it for western intelligence services to get the names and job descriptions of various officials in the g.r.u. or any other government agency so i think that's what they're doing but it makes it sound like there's something behind it we may not know the whole truth or 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. it's not just the russian military that's having accusations flying at it apparently

russian trolls are now turning fans against the classic star wars films for details on that with a bit later in the program. u.s. special representative zalmay khalilzad is on a trip to the middle east to coordinate and lead u.s. efforts to bring the taliban to the negotiating table however it doesn't look like they are willing to accept the offer especially considering the increasing control the group is exerting on the ground he was granted access to one taliban commander and raised the subject. americans never want to cooperate with the taliban and the taliban has never asked the americans again to cooperate against islamic state the americans of bombing us while we fight. the latest suggestion of direct talks between the taliban and washington came from the u.s. state department that was on friday. this is ministration has made it clear that it is prepared to engage with and participate in the go with both the taliban and the

afghan government but if the leadership of the taliban doesn't want to negotiate with the americans there's never wanted this and the leadership of the taliban never gave permission to any member to negotiate on their behalf of u.s. defense secretary james mattis had a meet and greet with the afghan president in kabul they finally decided to play nice in a bid to get the taliban down to talks but just one day before their words of peace washington dropped a big f. thirty five b. bomb on the taliban looks like the peace process is getting off on the right foot especially when the u.s. has for years led up to this moment promising both talk and terror i want to reinforce to the taliban that the only path to peace and political legitimacy for them is through a negotiated settlement to the taliban when their choices are to reconcile living a relevance. to have the taliban and willing to come to the negotiating table

there's no talking to the taliban we don't want to talk to the taliban we're going to finish what we have to finish so it's no surprise the taliban is reluctant to trust promises of peace and why would they seek it anyway in the past several months the taliban has made substantial territorial gains their spring offensive took coalition forces completely off guard seizing regions all over afghanistan over one hundred soldiers and police officers were killed in just one week of the offensive and that's not even counting last week's un report covering civilian casualties in battles between the coalition and taliban forces. in this. letter they. are. going to to go. you know. that with.

america's two thousand and one invasion of afghanistan hoped to oust the taliban from power but what materialized it was a seventeen year long war the longest conflict in u.s. history and now fast approaching are monumental peace talks to be held in moscow between the taliban and the afghan government we can confirm that we will attend the moscow conference we are waiting for addict and then agenda then we will decide what can be achieved from the conference if successful these talks could mark a step forward in a conflict that currently has no end in sight donald quarter r.t. your weekly continues in just a moment here on r.t. international in the mix of your stories the u.s. could ultimately slap india with sanctions it's off to new delhi started a big arms deal with russia more than the other stories as well just.

the u.s. is trying to claim to this idea of the us dollar reserve currency empire they've built over a post world war two hero for everyone gets into debt to the america and pays homage to america china russia iran africa name it they're all saying now we want markets trump wants markets close up we want to trade directly bilaterally we don't want to be part of the globalization anymore. so when you want to present. to going to be closer to what before. and people are. interested.

in joining us on this sunday not satisfied with allegedly disrupting the u.s. elections and twenty sixteen russian trolls have apparently now it's on the sites on hollywood and the star wars franchise in particular is really a patrik. hey america they stole your election hey britain they stole your dream of a united europe democracy will never be the same because of russian memes thralls boughts well surely there is something still sacred in western culture are off limits to the russians.

oh no the kremlin folks even got their hands on star wars russian trolls weaponized style was criticism as an instrument for information warfare with the purpose of pushing for political change this was from a real study by a brave jet i call or i mean who claims there's been a force that was fighting to make the last jet i fail wow thirty seven pages remember how the movie got booed at when those need fans couldn't forgive the director for spoiler alert killing luke skywalker and forgive him for going against all the tropes so dearly cherished by the fandom remember how the star wars lovers army even campaign to fund a remake well now you know who did it the sitz sorry the russians had

a great disturbance in the force as if millions of voices suddenly cried out into a sudden this sounds to prove it the guy behind the research analyzed almost a thousand on line messages for the director and his result was more than half of the hate tweets came from trolls some of them were russian. the director didn't just pay attention he shared the link to the study with his twitter followers. looking forward to reading it but what the top line describes is consistent with my experience online well some vans got even more disgruntled when they said they found their own tweet in the research it was a bad movie highly unlikely that it was a dry run for bots to practice we hated this film too loved rogue one but were

totally underwhelmed by the last gen dime so much so that my oldest questioned if it is worth going to the cinema to see any more disney star wars so did nothing to make me change my mind. mark a very disturbing it wasn't disney not even the director it was the damn room skinny's. india and russia have signed a five billion dollar arms deal with moscow to deliver five s. four hundred air defense missile systems. the s four hundred is russia's mobile missile defense system it is one of the

world's most sophisticated surface to where weapons the system has a range of four hundred kilometers and can shoot down up to eighty talk it's at the same time and india is certainly not by any stretch the only country that wants the s four hundred instances china and turkey have also signed a deal for the russian system and a cut out of saudi arabia and iraq have expressed interest as well on a broader scope though the u.s. has threatened sanctions against any country buying weapons in general from russia . reports from new delhi. it's not about just india expanding its defensive capabilities against it its regional rivals like pakistan or china for example it is also india sending a very strong geopolitical message because every time any country really shows interest or indeed by using a russian weapon in an advanced russian weapon washington while it 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 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 core whether or not to punish india for what it's doing and india is no exception in terms of the pressure being exerted on them and at the end of the day it will all depend on how resilient a colleague saw in the face of this pressure i wouldn't venture to predict with a hundred percent certainty how india will act but judging by the talks with them surely some obstacles a lawyer bill to rise but still the colleagues national policy is independent when it comes to making decisions on purchasing foreign military equipment and if i was

to list everything that the two leaders of all 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. 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. we got reaction in new delhi where some say that hey you need a lateral approach is unwelcome. what we are saying telling the u.s. is we are independent but we want to partner with you. on the basis of mutual benefit it should not be
