what we do is the true. headline stories. may have ordered the poisoning. death which drew global attention nearly a decade ago. also ahead of. the asia pacific summit. joint declaration of a trade rivalry between the u.s. and china. women backing female only public transport to tackle sexual assault safety.

a popular cartoon is accused. of the world. international welcome to the program. our top story there is a fresh development in the investigation over the death of corruption lawyer a surrogate nearly ten years ago russian prosecutors are now looking into whether his killing was organized by the british based financier william broad or. former balls. expose. post-mortem tests showed that there were symptoms of poisoning with the toxic water soluble oh you mean incompetence taken orally there

has never been full scale research of such substances in russia but over dozens of years texaco logical research of these compounds have been conducted especially by the us and. get more knowledge from our correspondent maria fanaa marie we just saw a little bit of of text there from the russian prosecutor's office what more do we know at this stage. behind me you can see prosecuted general office and to understand first of all what's going on we have to understand who is mr mcguinty and who is mr browder american born u.k. citizen a hedge fund manager he had a huge business in mosco in the ninety's and early olds russia believes not very clean he was charged with nine years in prison for tax fraud said a game of means he was he's a lawyer and top tax advisor in all business russia can see that he need to be involved in mr brodeur's criminal activity he was arrested and died in

a pretrial detention under controversial circumstances mr brodeur known for his decade long complaint against russian corruption accused russia of killing matthew needs keith because he he had testified against the country's tax authorities and police he used this case to log the so-called mug needs act sanctioning russian officials implicated in corruption and now practically prosecuted general office he's pushing forward mirror accusations saying the death of mr mcneice key was in the interest of mr browder to cover his dirty financials and saying also that they are open investigation into that. but there's also of course the existing accusations for is what all of them because it's been known for years that russia accuses them of money laundering and.

yes it has been in the news indeed for a year is that russia is accusing mr browder money laundering embezzlement and today we heard from prosecutor general office that a criminal case had been launching to organize an at transnational network criminal network with the aim of receiving huge financial benefits let's take a listen. to what it was used for a long time russia's prosecutor general together with investigative authorities have been seeking to prosecute william browder and other members of an international criminal network organized and led by him this network was created in russia in one thousand nine hundred seven and continues to operate today it aims to carry out serious economic crimes both on russian territory and the brooch. well this crime is very serious here in russia and if guilty mr browder may face up

to twenty years. prison have prosecutor general office also sad that under un convention russia is going to soon mr browder to be extradited so it didn't happen yet but we will see it soon prosecutor general office has also said that it had handed over a huge file over mr brough those crimes to u.s. authorities but they never received any on sir and it's also very important to add that mr brough to himself believes that all these is politically motivated and he read to write it many times that putin personally stalked him back to you. live from downtown moscow this are a chorus. maria finished. u.s. vice president mike pence washington is ready to continue its trade war against

beijing by doubling tar of some chinese goods his remarks came after the new all asian pacific economic cooperation summit this weekend now the event ended on a historically low note as the member states failed to agree on a final joint statement nikky hour and has been taking 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 in 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 and 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 so that is keep steering the wheel steady and paddle in the right direction and it seems that whereas with misgivings and is working on becoming more open. your mind kind has reached a crossroads which direction should we choose cooperation or confrontation or openness or closed doors win win progress or a zero sum game and it wants to be able to reach you easier by land by sea any way possible than 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 they just want 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 did 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 the sea has become. recent

or an excuse for small countries to our school and this will help from the united states to hedge against china and that i think that is wonderful news for the small countries despite the division and disagreement between china and the us and the rivalry among them are escalating i think. very much an 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 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 cartoons should be a safe enough 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 globally acclaimed russian series is trying to influence young millions booga has been looking into. 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 hat trying to. right.

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 face to see is. 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 disguised 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. mush and the bear are not coming to invade your homeland masha and the band is hybrid warfare. it's british empire apologist and who sums up american decadence better than the coffee. my nephews are watching the bear too they don't seem to be particularly indoctrinated. i really really do not want to read more about how masha the bat is put in his propaganda. i can confirm that i watched two episodes of their when i was nine and i suddenly became a twitter bot who speaks russian. not

a whole like of likes for facebook today because the company surprise is 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 behavior. 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. well the latest headline grabbing scandal to hit facebook a run in with billionaire philanthropist george soros up up and being investigated . 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. by. facebook our mission is to give people the power to build community 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 portraying 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 you know george soros it also tapped his business relationships lobbying it's your 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 is not. new word. to protect society accused of consequence is. dead after the tsunami in two manage. days 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 semitic information is. 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 with 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 ethnic bigotry to boot is your mind blown it should be able pop and r.t. new york. there has been lots of reaction to this we've got some from legal analyst and media commentator lionel who say as the often absurd blame game is obscured some real very serious issues with facebook. it's that troll mentality anything i can throw at you to cause you to be defend even if it did kill this. anti semitism zina phobia homophobia. myside ginny 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 just prove it so i must a presumption of innocence in reverse but the real issue here is not fake nudes but the raj and george soros it's one about my in for i'm a you know the cambridge analytical what are you doing with me what about what are you taking and 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 matt that's missed comb pool lately still plenty had this are all not the way after the break why women in tokyo are the most concerned about their safety on public transport stay with arctic.

but politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and she. wanted.

to go right to be close this is like the three of them all the people. interested always in the logs in the. first. twenty minutes into the program welcome back i knew global study has shown that more than two thirds of women in tokyo support having single sex train carriages on public transport because of concerns over harassment women only were introduced in tokyo nearly twenty years ago to combat the problem of groping on crowded rush hour trains known in japanese as check out it's still a major problem in the city where more than two thirds of sexual harassment claims

last year took place all 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 froze i did nothing i just got of the train and went to school i felt disgusted angry and confused but mostly scared. they may be two decades old but women only carriages are not universally popular in tokyo one group of men protested by boarding one in february calling the policy discriminatory 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 the 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 let's just examine the poll i mentioned earlier tokyopop sit it's a group of five cities that were looked at tokyo really way ahead of the average in support of female only courage of cairo is second while just over half of women in mexico city back the idea is to spite the study showing it's the most dangerous city for females. on public transport less than thirty percent of women in new york and london supported they were more concerned with travel times and costs i spoke and talk show host john galt thinks better law enforcement is the answer. but i really don't like the idea of segregation i mean where did you end if we go down that route and also actually use that dreadful term isn't victim blaming each not

the women who are sold here it's the man who was god knows for harassment and abuse we must just enforce them out woman has every right to drive travel on the subway systems and be safe it is up to the subway systems and 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 be sure to all of us to demand of our politicians will make use of these things reinforce. the british prime minister takes her brains and sales pitch to brussels this week treason me is struggling to get backing for her plan which has led to a raft of government resignations on party parts to her from downing street after

one of her toughest weeks yet as pm may say that getting rid of her would not make break the talks any easier it's actually about what's right for the country and as far as i'm concerned i would be distracted from actually the important job in this critical week and against the ations of making sure we do get that final good deal for the country but you know a change of leadership at this point isn't going to make the negotiations an easier and it's not going to change the parliamentary arithmetic notable here is that some of the biggest criticism of trees amazing e.u. towards plan comes from within our own party at least twenty five conservative m.p.'s say they have submitted letters of no confidence in the prime minister just less than half of that forty eight are needed to trigger a leadership vote well it's taking a toll on the party the tories are slipping in the polls as brigs in supporting voters lose faith. in the p.m.'s plan it's seeing the opposition labor party take a three point lead ramping up pressure for

a snap election. is scheduled to leave the european union on march the twenty nine next year just four months away not after a bitter referendum in twenty sixteen saw the country norah leave at a summit later this week is expected to see e.u. leaders sign off on the us for all. the lingering threat of a no deal breaks it is still king fears of the army being deployed onto the streets british news reports citing military sources say that over a thousand troops by ten thousand more are ready to assist if chaos ensues with journalists police trees a maze got another tough week ahead. the next five days are going to be absolutely crucial. not just in the for the trees and may i ask that possibly a british prime minister buffalo direction all relationship with the european union is going to be very difficult to get. not impossible looking at the numbers unless

he could somehow get from the e.u. in the next couple of days some car and further concessions that would make the deal. it carries a major so this week you have a new conservative leader coming in. after the election leadership. that's going to be very how that plays out because the fact of the matter is the house of commons where the majority of m.p.'s are actually. favorable to remain in the news would be . my first instinct was to actually wait and see it's a long document and it really is a bad deal it really is actually a deal. this is actually a deal which is a very long way from what majority of people. voted for. kevin we'll be

here in thirty minutes with all your latest news updates but next as more and more money is being spent around the world on kuntar terrorism is it actually making us safer on sophie and co we lost the money he used to control the cia strategy on it . i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars and. more than ten white collar crime families each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you loans to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building

a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only. and high drama the saga continues also the cia says it has high confidence they know who killed the show and because of high noon introduce you to some. of those. dollars. that dollar dollar is what i was doing. when we got garrett over here we carried the music with us.

we were dragged here. to get rid of those who are not go away. quietly. real the hard work we do is the true. rift between us and the rest of the world is growing at home democrats are now in control of the house how big of

a game changer. there was for the rest of the club. as the u.s. midterm elections leave the country in a political stalemate with congress divided between republicans and democrats continues to pursue its divisive. which is making america's european allies uneasy the president who changes global goals with the democrats in the house will be alliances entreaties put in place by his previous. trump treatment and how will the u.s. move forward in tomorrow's world. two decades cia and veteran ralph larsen welcome to the program why it's always great to have you with us it's been a year things have changed lots to discuss now world leaders recently gathered in paris to mark the centenary anniversary of the end of world war one in his speech at the ceremony french fries and then my own liberty.
