william browder he already faces charges in russia for large scale embezzle. and there's no accused of creating a trans national criminal group responsible for at least folly it was for slaughter a correspondent from washington who is keeping across this breaking news story for us what do we indeed know at this stage. how you know and well i have to say that a lot has been said here today at their prosecutor general office in moscow first of all a new criminal case was launched into or indeed organizing transnational criminal group with the aim of receiving a large amount of money against u.k. citizen america boring william browder and i say a new criminal case because this is the second criminal case against this person

who had business in moscow in the ninety's in early ought and he had already been charged with ninety years in reason for tax fraud and these recent accusation in this recent criminal case opened it's a very serious crime here in russia and eve guilty browder mr browder can receive up to twenty years in prison and prosecuted general office also said that this type of crimes of coverage by u.n. convention and russia is going to soon. mr brough that to be extradited and then we also heard from prosecutor general office that russia is looking into the deaths of five associates of mr not browder considering at least three of them according to criminal cases opened. regarding that as murderers and they say that russia is considering investigations still on to go in that mr brodrick

could have been pulled in these these murders and also added that trace. of. attack sickle chemical substance containing al-ameen you have been found in the bodies of. dead associates of mr browder giving the investigators idea that they could have been poisoned again the investigation to go in right now and it's very it was said very clearly that as for now there are no accusations forwarded against mr browder regarding these deaths of associates and i have to say that among those. city gate macguineas key a few words about who this person was he was mr browder top tax advisor

and russia says that he could have testified against browder and this is why mr browder was interested in his death while mr browder of says that. russia stole text money from his firm and mr mcneil he knew that and could have testified against russia tax authorities and this is why he is accusing russia of killing him so we have mere accusations here of course very very confusing case and investigations actually into so many cases are right now open and you know through all those latest developments just moments ago maria from the national live from the prosecutor's office in moscow thank you. but moving on to other stories this news are u.s. vice president mike pence oh yes washington is ready to continue its trade war against beijing that will double tariffs on chinese goods is what is being put

forward now those remarks came of the asian pacific economic cooperation summit this past weekend the event and being a historically low note the member states failed to agree on a final joint statement nichiren has a closer look. fears over the u.s. china trade war have still not been put to bed sure it's all smiles and much in shirts and the family photo. but unlike previous years this summits was less about togetherness and more kids who well divisions of a family breakdown with washington and beijing vying for the loyalties of other countries you know the two big giants in the room what can i say so which economic superpower would do you side with we have option a china striving to better

communications and connections than time i was looking at the vast ocean when i boarded the ship and it struck me that we are all indeed fellow passengers in the same boat that is keep steering the wheel steady and paddle in the right direction and it seems that whereas with misgivings that is what king on becoming more open. your mind kind has reached a crossroads which direction should we choose cooperation or confrontation or openness or closed doors when when progress or a zero sum game and it wants to be able to reach you easier by learned by see any way possible then we have option b. the usa now aside from everything else the us is better than china why because it says so united states has a principled approach that stands in stark contrast to some other nations our vision will prevail besides beijing is just

a user anyway china is taking advantage of the united states for many many years. in those days are over. unlike china the us doesn't want to tie you down it just wants you to do things the american way so it doesn't have to punish you the united states. offers a better option we don't drown our partners in sea of debt we don't coerce compromise your independence with a lot to say on the local fun club at hand if this was a custody battle see jim paine good get the kids the red carpets were rolled the bones plates chinese flanks were waved clearly papua new guinea has already been wooed by the middle kingdom but how do the other countries feel some analysts say the u.s. still has its trump card and despite all this america first talk many countries in the region still crave a slice of the american pie the truck to put to sea has become. recent

or an excuse for small countries to our support and this will help from the united states to hedge against china i think this is wonderful news for the small countries despite the division the disagreement between china and the u.s. and the rivalry among them are escalating i think. very much opportunity rather than something i grew up i'm actually north of because people find a lot of opportunities for the smaller countries to get into these rivalry the scenario and trying to work together to try to find us and child together so that it can get past a lockdown it was an apex of first time it's been held in papua new guinea and the only time leaders have been unable to agree on a formal declaration so is divorce on the cards for the apec family with trump and she said to me to the g twenty this month in their first face to face since the

trade spun began the question is will the leaders be having double tyra's chocolate cake or coerced into sour grapes. sitting the kids in front of the t.v. to watch cartoon should be a pretty safe bet to keep them quiet for a bit just make sure they're not being covertly programmed with propaganda some western news reports claim a global acclaim russian series is trying to do just that and influence young minds jacqueline good report. and that little sweetheart was matia from the cartoon in the bear originally russian the series has been translated into dozens of languages and won the hearts of millions across the globe but it turns out there may be a sinister side to the enduring little girl and her protective pet decent trying to .

see now what russia has forgotten to mention there is that some cartoons are in fact evil putin propaganda yep according to a times u.k. article moshe is just another putin puppet. russia is funny steep. but also a plucky she punches a bunch of weight is no fun fish to see. and i honestly don't know who should be more offended by that comparison so where's the evidence of the kremlin's influence well critics seem to be particularly worried about one scene and a single episode or moshe's seen wearing a soviet border guards hat. apparently that's meant to be a statement on russia's defense of its borders but even if we say that's true what

kind of kid would pick up on that but hey it's best to start when they're young right the studio behind this propaganda masterpiece of course denies being influenced by the kremlin's hand saying they received no state funding but we did a bit of digging and found some ominous signs you simply can't ignore here comes the kremlin for all of two seconds that could easily be interpreted as a soviet red star the skies as an innocent christmas decoration and you may not realize it but the weird hat that must have got on here is a traditional russian hat now i know those examples. aren't so much propaganda as they are just random russian things but that's all we could try but worry not it turns out the bear itself is a representation of russia as a whole you see bear you think russia right.

the base symbolizes russia it's a fact it's a struggle for the minds part of a hybrid explosion in which a negative image of russia is replaced by a positive oh the horror the horror now you know what your children are being exposed to and can protect them accordingly. and the bear are not coming to invade your homeland. and that is hybrid warfare. the british empire apologies and who sums up american decadence it's called. my name is a watch in my shoes a very cute they don't seem to be particularly indoctrinated. i really really do not want to read more about how masha and the bat is put in his propaganda. i can confirm this i watched two episodes of the fair when i was nine and i suddenly became a twitter bot who speaks russian. another

story we're closely following today facebook soprano mark zuckerberg is under pressure from the firm's investors who want him to step aside as chairman their patience is wearing thin following a series of scandals over the past year which have plagued the social media behemoths. facebook is behaving like it's a special snowflake it's not it is a company and companies need to have a separation of chair and c.e.o. that concentration of power creates a lot of defensiveness within the company it's an exercise in hyden that there is a problem rather than admit in that there is a problem and set in the roadmap to fixing it or the latest headline grabbing scandal to hit facebook a run in with billionaire philanthropist george soros killer bob and has been looking into this story for us. things are not going well for mark zuckerberg he's been involved at facebook in a wave of scandals involving privacy violations and data leaks and now protesters

are outraged. at facebook our mission is to give people the power to build communities and bring the world closer together more than two billion people come to our platform each month to stay connected with friends and family facebook is taking issue with a protest sign for training the zuck as an octopus with tentacles spreading all over the world they say that that imagery is anti-semitic however facebook had no problem playing the same card against the protesters they even hired a p.r. firm facebook employed republican opposition research firm to discredit activists protest is in part linking them to the liberal finance yes george soros it also tapped his business relationships lobbying a juror civil rights group to cause some criticism of the company's anti semitic yeah blame it on george soros the liberal billionaire known for splashing money on

liberal causes now he's certainly no fan of facebook do you didn't get that moment that is not. new word. to protect society accused of consciousness is. dead after the tsunami in two manners there needs davies and i'm no good but here's the irony when it came out that facebook was accusing soros of being the master manipulator behind the protesters soros then accused of facebook of anti-semitism you know they're also aware that much of this hateful and blatantly false and anti semitic information is spread via facebook the notion that your company you'll direction actively engaged in the same behavior is frankly astonishing to me zuckerberg says that he's got nothing to do. the soros claims the p.r. firm was hired without his permission now they've been fired he says he has nothing but total respect for soros and billionaire to billionaire now the company does

admit they did investigate soros connections to the protesters however they say it's got nothing to do with his jewish heritage to suggest this was an anti semitic attack he's reprehensible and untrue both soros and zuckerberg say that the other guy is motivated by ethnic bigotry the same kind of apnic bigotry to boot is your mind blown it should be able to pop and r.t. new york leave a list and media commentator lionel believes the often absurd blame game is obscuring some real and very serious issues with facebook it's that troll mentality anything i can throw at you to cause you to be defensive even if it did kill is anti semitism zina phobia homophobia. myside jinnie you don't have to prove it nobody's ever said excuse me for it explain to me how i'm guilty

of this no once i slap that label on you you have to disprove it so much the presumption of innocence in reverse but the real issue here is not fake nudes though raj and george soros it's one about my in for many years into the cambridge in a living god what are you doing with me what about what are you taking from my family and me and children and where we live how are you using this seemingly innocuous seemingly welcoming social network information and data are the currency. of the twenty first century and that's the issue that that's missed. lately. i don't think many of you will argue with the following statement many people are truly obsessed with taking selfies the day but for one

month a run of the mill pics saved him from a lengthy spell behind bars. who

would have thought i'd saved the selfie on the way women in tokyo are the most concerned about their safety on public transport plenty more besides that's coming up in ninety seconds. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to. have to go right to the press this is what the four three of them ought to be good. interested always in the water.

they should. seem wrong why don't we all just don't all. let me. get to see out of this day become educated and engaged with. the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. and. you're back with our to international

a new global study has shown that more than two thirds of women in tokyo support single sex trade encourages on public transport because of concerns over harassment of women only courage is were introduced in tokyo nearly twenty years ago to combat the problem of groping on crowded rush hour trains known in japanese. it's still a major problem in the city where more than two thirds of sexual harassment claims last year took place on the metro trains or in stations. when i was a junior high school student it took me an hour on the paths train to get to school every morning she can happen to me almost every day my first you can experience was when there was sixteen years old i was so scared they couldn't do anything i think my school uniform made me a target i prose i did nothing i just got of the train and want to score i felt disgusted angry and confused but mostly scared or women only courage is or not

universally popular in tokyo one group of men protested by boarding one in february calling the policy discriminatory and other critics point out that it doesn't solve the wider problem segregated trains what's next instead of fixing the problem let's separate the sexes bad logic here and it will lead to other forms of segregation at best women only facilities provided only moment to rest by sigur geisha doesn't stop sexual violence the ethical response to violence is to stop their aggressors not segregate the victims why is there no men only carriage to balance everything out and to offer a place where men don't have to worry about being falsely accused. of tokyo tops a poll of five major world cities way ahead really of the average in support of female only courage as cairo is second while just over half of women in mexico city backed the idea that's despite the study showing it is the most dangerous city for females and public transport less than thirty percent of women in new york and

london support it they were more concerned with travel times and costs are spoken talk show host john god thinks better law enforcement is the answer. but i really don't like the idea of segregation in wage us and if we go down that route and also actually use that dreadful term isn't the victim blaming the women who are sold it's the men so with god knows for harassment and abuse we must just enforce them out woman has every right to drive. travel on subway systems and be safe it is up to the subway systems the courts and the police to enforce the laws i don't think this will really seriously i want to live in a modern tolerant liberal society well woman just like a man can just like they wish go where they wish and be safe so shocked all of us to demand of our politicians and all makers that these things are in force.

more disturbing figures coming out of afghanistan more than twenty eight thousand police officers and soldiers have been killed there over the past three years that is according to the country's president nearly two decades of war have left the country scarred and affected millions not least of all children whose playgrounds pose deadly dangers. we were on our way to school early in the morning when there was an explosion i lost my leg now i'm scared about my future. there was fighting in the afternoon between african forces and the taliban in an

unexploded bomb was left behind when we were going away to the school it went all. four of us were killed and the others who lead it. when we were healthy we used to go out and play we walked to school and to the mosque. now we're not able to go to school i would teacher comes to our house and teacher says. my children were in the hospital for over one month but they are still continuing their treatment at home because they are still severely injured.

how guilty are the guilty in the u.s. almost three in ten of those exonerated by d.n.a. tests had previously confessed but why the interrogation goes without question next . join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. make this manufacture consent to step into the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round lifts and be the one percent. of the time we can

all middle of the room sick. i mean real news is. i don't think the democrats are much mode in the go shape with the republicans or president so i think people are going to have to acknowledge that the united states over the next couple years is going to be consumed even more so by our internal our total bickering in affairs. dollars. dollars. dollars. on the dollar is what i wasn't doing. when we got garrett over here we care the music with us that.

we are you. we were dragged here. by you know going to get religious who are not go away who are not guy quite. real the heart of what we do is the truth. at the time a local television reporter from detroit is following the case closely bill proctor is well aware of the methods used by local police to close certain cases as quickly as possible. they did this all the time. they had people make statements whether in writing or they

did the writing they had some buddies and with the suggestion that hears this and you can go home i've heard that doesn't. sound dozens and dozens and it wouldn't surprise me at all that's the real number doesn't run into the hundreds or thousands because the same cadre of bad detectives that probably were two dozen of them were in place for over thirty five years. the mark on her. medication. with no evidence or witness statements against him on the seventh of march nine hundred ninety seven lamar monson is sentenced to fifty years of criminal imprisonment for the murder of christina brown. only one element was used against him the confession that he signed.

martin believe that this was going to be a.
