two p.m.'s choose their moscow welcome to our international with me kevin our first of this latest bulletin the president of china has instructed the country's military to be war ready for the raising the specter of a potential conflict over trade and beyond but what's rhetoric and what's real here with our senior correspondent we're galatea of takes a closer look today so here's the thing the chinese government almost never says anything you wouldn't expect that's their thing their game make their incredibly careful reserved at least with their tongues so when the chinese president orders his military to prepare for war serious indeed. the military to concentrate on the fancy read in these for war the chinese are preparing for war out loud how over how did we get to this well trump for one aside from lambaste in the chinese at every opportunity is tariffs is sanctions his trade war he's also

being very heavy handed congress has just approved a second arms deal with taiwan in eighteen months. kind of untruthful the sales of weapons by the united states to taiwan damages china's sovereignty and security interests in beijing sees china and taiwan as two parts of a whole two chinese entities same culture ethnicity same languages with two separate governments communist capitalist the end goal is to reunite into one state there are differences of course currently preventing that and about one hundred kilometers of c. that separate the two and trump always a fan of sticking it to the chinese he's been through seeing his warships right between the two china's. we have expressed our concerns to the u.s. side the taiwan. issue concerns china's sovereignty and territorial integrity and

is the most important and sensitive issue in china u.s. relations. for starters how about you express your concerns about these important and sensitive issues to someone who cares a little more because that in trump we worry about. i don't worry about things. let's be great never worrying about anything unfortunately others are there are those in china who believe that america wants taiwan to declare independence and the chinese are preparing for that eventuality militarily. as your own you know we are resolute to defeat any scheme or act of taiwan

independence in any form. thing is the taiwanese don't really see a point to defending themselves taiwan which recently switched from a conscription to a volunteer army is having huge trouble recruiting even reserve troops dodging the juicy after all that's the point the devil when. the government needs to think whether it's necessary to bring conscription back if they think national security matters but taiwan is a minor player in these confrontation if war does break out it likely be the people's republic of china slugging it out with the united states rather than taiwan and that is a war that trump really really ought to be worried about the world is really across rolled facing major threats to world peace and development between china and

the united states the tensions are getting more and more acute and the united states has been pushing china round him really china and imposing unilateral tariffs on the chinese exports china does not want to have a trade war with the united states china does not want to have a conflict with the united states but if the united states really wants to impose these things onto china i think the chinese people will be fully mobilized behind the chinese government and the chinese military. the research says yemen's devastating wars claimed fifty six thousand lives over the past two years some five times higher than previously thought despite it being considered the world's worst humanitarian crisis a british charities found that almost half of people in the u.k. are unaware there's a war there at all even though their country is the second biggest supplier of weapons to the country waging a bombing campaign that has more of the findings in a moment but first here's a look at just how much of

a toll three years of war has taken on the yemeni people. hi do you know what's happening in yemen. so much. i'm afraid i. don't know sorry what's happening in yemen. now there's a war soldier rabiya. for some middle east politics tired no idea really do you

know what's happening in yemen sorry do you know what's happening in yemen thank god it's taken the lives of thousands of civilians and caused an unprecedented humanitarian crisis and yet according to a new poll almost a home of the people in the u.k. have no i did there is a war taking place in yemen a war in which a saudi led coalition is conducting a deadly campaign event strikes in an attempt to drive out who the rebels hope you carry don't know about most things happening in russia but if i can imagine china's terrible why do you think that is new enough is being sent over to it depends on what the media synthesizing at a particular point in time we can through and through public knowledge and opinions so you think it's under-reported good the war in yemen isn't just another humanitarian crisis in a far flung parts of the world the saudi led campaign is being waged partly thanks

to a hefty supply of british made weapons the u.k. government happens to be the second biggest supplier of alms to the saudi kingdom after the us according to the latest figures u.k. military sales to riyadh increased by two thirds in twenty seventeen from the previous year the mother of jamal khashoggi has brought the u. case closed. egypt partnership with the riyadh into the spotlight now an increasing number of politicians here in the u.k. are calling on the government to explain its unceasing support for the saudi led war in yemen perhaps if more of the public knew about it the government would be under more pressure to act. frenchie royds groups are calling for a probe to be reopened into the nine hundred ninety four genocide in rwanda in east africa needs to establish whether or not french troops at any blame for the deaths of hundreds of people they promise to protect in the village of business arrow

video from news website media part piers to show a senior french military officer discussing an ongoing massacre the several days before the army decided to intervene. before you were the only two you could put your duty but you took those on the only call you know you deal with the one who makes homebody a democracy. if you ever saw it in rwanda lost just over three months and left nearly a million people dead or paris denies any culpability in the basis of massacre rights groups led by french and geo are saying that the case was closed prematurely no. lines of inquiry were not sufficiently followed up to allow investigators to determine france's military and political responsibility french military authorities were aware that from the afternoon off twenty seventh of june on words civilians were being killed the survivors open the case thirteen years ago although

back in july it was scrapped due to lack of evidence and lack of convictions but survivors of the massacre claim they asked the french military for help on june twenty seventh one thousand nine hundred ninety four but the military only came three days later already after hundreds of people were killed in the massacre and the allegation now is that the french government actually knew what was going on and specifically decided not to intervene the genocide was committed mainly by the hutu government and its backers against the ethnic minority tutsi tribe and allegations of the french government supports for the hutus who carried out most of the slaughter in the genocide have been rough on the french government's relations with the rwandan government for years but the french although they admit that they have made mistakes they say they have no complicity in the genocide that took place there.

we spoke with a survivor of the massacre and i asked her if the revelations of her show. no have to do with no this is video doesn't surprise me i was very happy that media part published the truth we survivors have known this for a long time it's important that the french people know what happened. nine hundred ninety four when the military was there you know because i only know that caused promised to declassify the archives if they didn't work out it everything he published was already known and the only thing i have to add is that the french people have to know the truth the context of the one in genocide was a four year war this argument between france and rwanda has been going on since one

thousand nine hundred four do the french have a mandate do differential have a mandate to intervene if french officers observe this and they had a mandate to intervene then they did something wrong. soldiers typically. do not do not. he can. now demanded. with midterm elections looming in the us a poll suggests that a majority of voters view the two parties system is day to them flawed many now seeking a third substantial option to throw their support behind that as caleb maupin has been finding out in the united states we have a first past the post electoral system where essentially voting for a third party is throwing your vote into the garbage or at least that's the mantra coming from the media really people who say oh yeah you know i don't know about hillary and so i voted for jill stein is that you wasted

a vote in north carolina for jill's my guess the hardest thing for an independent is to convince the voters you're for real and that it's a viable choice and they're not wasting their vote the only thing that was kind of holding them back when you talk to them is they would say oh i don't want to waste my vote like one of their vote to count i grabbed vote republican because i want i'm not going to waste my go as an independent in ohio earlier this year there was a special election in which a democrat was narrowly defeated by a republican twitter lit up with outrage not at the democrats for perhaps running a less than effective campaign but rather at the green party for daring to participate in the political process and win a few votes. de green party can you please wait to make you a symbolic votes and a time when our government isn't being overrun by white supremacists. you know what so i immediately think the green party tonight on russian madly. green party voter don't tell me you kiribati environment if you know your vote to

make the difference between a damn winning over rap and used to choose to vote for a candidate who has no chance of winning now the u.s. state of maine tried to correct this with a new voting system essentially voters get to rank the candidates from best to worst and if no solid majority can be established by their first pick then the second votes are calculated in order to pick a winner. the idea is that one can still vote against one of the major parties and have their voice heard in the final results but in maine the state legislature overturned this new voting system and it was a big legal battle to get it going now there's other states eyeing something similar but there's a lot of pushback what i hear is that people do want to have it depended and other parties come to the freighters so they're so tired and sick of the political dysfunction because the democrats are the publicans and i think americans are really looking for a choice i think the united states skews it like that so there are only two parties and they don't want to let anybody else come into existence because. i think they

both secretly know that other parties are not sort of corporatist parties but actually there are parties out there and independents out there that actually do want to advocate for the people but of course they don't want us to get in there because then we would win and they would most americans view the two party political system as outdated but the mainstream media continues to play the you're either with us or against us card so the voices of the majority of americans remain silenced in the political process kaleb mopp and r.t. new york will come all the way he must secure the suits to. go to americans increasingly worried over politically motivated speech. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected.

so when you want to be president and. want to. have to go to the press this is what was before three of them or can't be good. interested always in the water. or should. join me every thursday on the alex simon sure and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport. i'm show business i'll see you then. bomb a really was very european in his approach seem to be very well suited. brussels for example he doesn't represent america is america for better or worse and i think what we're trying to do here is to let the world see here.

in the u.s. the man accused of gunning down eleven jewish worship posed to the synagogue last weekend and also a separate suspect accused of sending mail bombs have both appeared in court separately to donald trump announced his plan to visit the scene of the synagogue massacre but spots across u.s. media outlets the coverage focused on whether the crimes were politically motivated and the results in this spike of hate speech and also whether the president has contributed to more of it was known to the media against his visit. personally i would like them to stay away if he can come and not make it about himself and not make it political so and certainly why not he is fueling those people who are extremists and i am very very sad for this country if this could be the start of

getting along than so be it and i think that would be a good thing we need to start working together. well in the wake of those incidents so should media sites have come under increased scrutiny in both cases the suspects of this press their hostility online the alleged pittsburgh gunman robert gregory boas wrote a series of anti-semitic posts on the social network dot com in the wake of the massacre the website which is popular with the so called all right and free speech advocates was taken down then there was a season old teary say up the man reported to have sent that series of mail bombs where he was active on twitter he's believed to have written death threats to politicians including former vice president joe biden on that very platform we put the links between social media and hate speech up for debate. we don't want people telling us what we can and can't post and you don't also want to have the government telling companies what they can and can't put you know having said that . the companies themselves have

a moral obligation i think an ethical obligation you know like like facebook or twitter to prevent. incitement their sites but that's for them to do and it ought to be something that the public pressures them to do not the government requires them to do but it should be naturally what you would do with social media platforms that these social media whether it's facebook twitter you tube they can't be held responsible for who ever post anything on their on their websites and that was so that you know we can continue to thrive in tech expansion now of course hate speech speech is protected in america even though hate speech is horrible and abysmal and that is a protected right of speech we can't arrest somebody for for an opinion that they might have no matter how egregious or ugly that opinion seems there are solutions to the problem of the power of google or the power of facebook or the power of twitter and those are to break the damn things up it's the same problem we have with newspapers and with in broadcasting you know we have these giant conglomerates

that control all our media and they determine what gets in and what doesn't get in the all these organizations should be broken up and shouldn't be allowed to have the monopolies that they have we don't want the government coming down and telling us what we can and can't do especially when it comes to social media but i think if we put the power within social media company executives then we're just saying we don't want government to regulate it but we want these powerful business to regulate it and so we're just putting the power into one other person's hand we're looking at three of four major social media platforms and much of the speech comes down and so we have to we have to consider the fact that it would be a lot more beneficial to have twenty thirty forty social media platforms i think the main thing is to accept personal responsibility and really to grow up i mean the. public does need to grow up and only accept responsibility but not engage in these things and then we can put proper public pressure i mean time to move merica some more to talk sic political atmosphere these days hillary clinton is facing

a backlash of the judge being that african-americans quote all look alike and quote she was correct to interviewer who mixed up two democrat politicians using of cory booker's and using comment to him in your kill file i don't know anything about him saying kick them in the shins essentially start to get to that kind of political i was eric holder airco airco harasser i know they all look alike no they don't. well many far but he clinton on twitter about the doubling of races for joke in such a way others suggested if it is being done will trump for instance uttering the same line the outrage would have been much more vocal all this comes as many high profile african-americans are calling on others in the black community to ditch their support for the democratic party is long been a pillar of the democrats' base. i i. i. i.

the black said moving will spend twenty. holding rallies in every major city in america that the democrats have to show it. i just think that something better than the trial i fancy. was i.

this logo. these colors were created by like your frat. house i. in a general movement is to get more people open minded to think differently you don't have to necessarily vote different maybe you have been doing it but be open minded maybe you come to the realization next the best way for you to be so that is the main thing trying to encourage people to think differently and detained rather to being attached to the democratic ideology no matter what. a fine of an easy this. here thirty's in the russian republic of tatarstan the rest of the eighteen suspects over the just say cell one of the suspects was barely captured while trying to remove weapons from

a hidden store according to the security services the cell was planning several terror attacks here in russia before traveling to join i saw militants in syria. initial along with the extremist literature and symbols will come. in full on his course around the clock twenty four seven home for now though thanks for watching out international live from moscow with me kevin are going to have a great day. just manufacture consent to stick to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final round be the one person. we can all middle of the room see. the real news.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in. spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. one else seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out just. that's it. and indeed it was the trade. winds find themselves well it's a party we just of the common ground. greetings

and salutations. the world can be a very very scary place talk watchers but it's in these times of uncertainty that we must remain diligent in our fight for peace and not get distracted and subdue spy the constant headlines of fear and terror because it's buried behind and beneath these headlines of fear that vital information about the future stability of peace can often get lost take this headline for example recently seen in the united states air force is very own web site armed and ready stand receives largest ammo shipment in years the article goes on to quote the eighty six months

munitions operation sex and she section chief one master sergeant david head excitedly lamenting that this is the largest shipment of its kind since operation allied force which took place in one nine hundred ninety nine he is of course referring to the nato bombing of yugoslavia against serbian president slobodan milosevic and his ethnic cleansing campaign master sergeant had went on to inform air force readers that the munitions that we received will be used for future theater operations and the evolving u.s. european command presence. future theater operations whatever could that be so so what exactly will these theater operations consist of well because if there was one thing we know hawk watchers you do not move massive amounts of ammunition unless there is a massive amount of fighting on the horizon could it be syria iran ukraine africa take your pick of the us military machine is latest propped

a bogeyman and you could make a legitimate argument for how these latest arms shipments could be used for member former prime british prime minister david lloyd george once famously declared you are not going to get to peace with millions of armed men the church of peace cannot a band still road littered with can. see peace is not found my friends through fire superiority contrary what the bumper stickers may say peace can only be found if you start watching the hawks. to. get the. real thing. as. to. what they like you know that i got. was that we. would.

welcome everyone to watching the harks ventura and i'm to have a full and. well it's really it's what is the theater operation to take a wild guess it's not a production about probably probably the end or expected or feared conflicts and ukraine and as you said possibly with russia i've been sort of you know bullet saber rattle. we have on the ball it was the this was kind of things to have that when you see these headlines they seem real innocuous of first leisure oh you know big shipment of military hardware what to wear but as we've seen through history it's always that thing you know you've got to watch the movements of arms in order kind of figure out what is going to be on the horizon why do you need these many arms over so much because they can move from one place to the next to the next not saying you end up with world war two ends well.
