it's claimed an american born u.k. financier may have ordered the fatal poisoning of his former lawyer said kate magnitsky as russian prosecutors shed new light on a death wish but attention nearly a decade ago. also this hour censorship policies put facebook back in the spotlight after a heinous page sees a teenage bride from south sudan auctioned off for cattle and cash. and a popular russian cartoonist accused of being a kremlin a propaganda tool designed to influence children's minds around the world.

it's one o'clock here in moscow and you're watching our international live with mina to tutor welcome to the program and we start with some breaking news from the u.s. city of chicago reports are emerging that multiple people have been injured in a shooting at a hospital the shooter is said to be active and police are on their way to the scene and we will of course keep you updated as that story develops. there's a fresh development in the investigation of the death of anti corruption lawyer so again magnitsky nearly ten years ago russian prosecutors are looking into whether his killing was organized by his former boss the british based financier william browder. expect now and that is your real 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 france and italy we have to understand who is mr magnates and who is mr browder the latin america born u.k. hedge fund manager had a huge business in moscow in the ninety's and early two thousand russia believes not very clean he was charged with nine years in prison in absentia for tax fraud so game admits he was his lawyer and top tax advisor and obviously russia considered him to be involved in mr browder criminal activity and he was arrested hand died in a pretrial detention under controversial circumstances william browder known for his decade long campaign against russian corruption accused russia of killing magnitsky who had testified against the country's tax authorities and police he

used this case to lobby the so-called magnitsky act to sanctioning russian officials implicated in corruption and now prosecutor general office here in moscow ease practically pushing forward mirror accusations saying that the death of such a game at least he was in fact in the interest of william browder covering his dirty financial schemes and adding that they are opening an investigation into that it has been in the news for year is that russia is accusing william browder of money laundering and fassel mint and now prosecutor general office opened a criminal case into organizing trans national criminal networks for these purposes let's take a listen. for a long time russia's prosecutor general together with the 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 ninety seven and continues to operate today aims to carry out serious economic crimes both on russian territory and abroad this is a very serious crime here in russia if built to mr browder may face up to twenty years in reason it would be fair to mention that mr browder himself believes that all these is politically motivated he rita rated many times that putin personally stop him prosecutor general office has also sad that russia will soon house for mr brown and to be extradited since these type of crimes covers by the un convention it was also added that some time ago a huge file about mr browder his crimes by the thousand alone document had been handed over to u.s. authorities but russia never received any on certain. human rights activists as sounding the alarm over a teenage bride auction that was held on facebook. looks at the uproar being faced

by the social media giant. it's twenty eight seeing we're well into the twenty first century but in south sudan you can still buy a teenage bride for a few hundred cows three jeeps and ten thousand bucks this isn't from a fresh out on a billboard somewhere in the sudanese savannah the auction and wedding are done and over with and guess where the bidding happened on facebook. any form of human trafficking whether posts pages or groups that coordinate this activity are not allowed on facebook and so they took the auction posts down good job facebook just one problem like i said the wedding dress had been worn and it took days and days for the tech giant to act now this is how the family tried to impress the bidders by pitching the girls height the kids of the winner are guaranteed four

n.b.a. slots and among the competing want to be husbands are said to have been local government officials they need to be suspended from their office and have risen full of it in this ng also only to needs to be held accountable that a girl could be sold for marriage on the world's biggest social networking sites is beyond belief. yes most of the activists fury was about how an entire online auction campaign could happen all facebook's radar so let me give you a quick reminder of some of the do's and don'ts on the network facebook is off limits to you got it fake news and it's up to some mysterious fact checkers employed by the tech giant in america to decide what's good for you to read and what's not also among the stuff that's been banned by zox people are posts featuring the paintings of peter paul rubens because of nudes in them even though he's one of the most remote artists of the seventeenth century or this story on the

starving children in yemen by the new york times for the same reason in that case concerns over facebook's image posting policies at least for some while outweighed concerns over a disastrous famine in a war torn country well we'll see if they're as alert next time someone tries to sell a teenage bride for cattle the response from facebook is oh we took it down as soon as we found out but clearly the implication there is that they still despite you know so many similar stories of things that shouldn't be on facebook being on facebook for too long as far as i can see so far there's been no concrete answer from facebook as to how they're going to show that this doesn't happen again and for it to have been out there for days while this whole gruesome process was completed. seems you know it's a mystery something that should take much more responsibility for and spend more of

the profits are not actually making sure the platform is safe and is no abuse to the sake of human trafficking. the kids in front of the t.v. to watch cartoons should be a 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 globally acclaimed russian series is trying to influence the alliances checking the ports. and that little sweetheart was matia from the cartoon in the bare 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. 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 pop it is funny steep. but also a plucky she punches a bunch of weight is not far fetched to see this. but it seemed 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 ham 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. of 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 we're 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. the bear are not coming to invade your homeland. and the bank is hybrid. british empire. sums up america that's. my

nephew i want you to very few they don't seem to be particularly indoctrinated. i really really do not want to read about how masha back to his property. i can tell i want to after so much and and when i was nine and i suddenly became a leader he speaks russian. women of the world a chemical weapons watchdog locking horns of a plan to broaden its powers back in june if it went in favor of allowing the n.p.c. to play to apportion blame but russia and china are among the countries against the move. opposition on the proposal made in june is that in downing the o.p.c. dubey with the functions is not meant to have would constitute an infringement on the un security council's powers. decision in front of us today and let's be very clear. to undermine what was agreed by suggesting it was not compliant with

convention that is simply not true coming from the russian federation. i might be euphemistic and say ironic but frankly it is pungent pocker see. what have they done for the last few years. but to connive with their syrian ally trying to bury the truth of what has happened in syria alongside. from the use of chemical weapons by the assad regime the delegations present at the conference are told to vote for everything proposed by the western group and a number of times those delegations of come under psychological pressure from the same countries this is ample evidence to the extent of hypocrisy it's open lies and hostility on the part of bill's delegations may be the united states side would

like to ask questions about the lives of syrian people but i believe that they lie when they say they really care about victims in syria between the times terse diplomatic language used in the chamber it's fairly clear to see that there is a split in the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons right now that's place pretty much goes down the lines of the u.k. in the united states on one side of china and russia. is the proposal that was voted through now early in june of this year that was put forward by the united kingdom would give the o.p.c. w. extended powers it would give them the power to identify perpetrators all chemical weapon attacks now russia says this goes again. the charter which created the the o.p.c. w. in fact saying it would step on the toes of the the un security council which currently has those powers that in turn was described as a contingent here crissy by the us ambassador the russian permanent representative

to the o.p.c. w ambassador he said russia's western partners were doing their best to undermind russia's proposals considering all the tricks of so-called partners use we understand they are really afraid they do all this if they weren't afraid unfortunately we see that our american colleagues are continuing their conflicting line and we're used to it they already left the paris climate accord the iran nuclear deal and now they're attempting to de road the whole. of the russian ambassador calling for that vote means that they wrapped up on monday evening with that vote hanging over us it will be sorted out on tuesday morning were expecting to see everybody back here in the hague bright in early to try and get into an end of this current impasse. back to our breaking news story now from the u.s. city of chicago there are reports emerging that multiple people have been injured

in a shooting at a hospital and that hospital is mercy hospital on the near side that brought out a large police presence on monday afternoon according to the chicago tribune or so the authorities have said this shooter is said to be active and police are at the scene one officer has been shot and local authorities say he's in a critical condition they say that a suspect has also reportedly been wounded there are details coming through as you can see and we got some live pictures. well we will have some live pictures we hope at a later date but we will keep you updated on that story as more details come in. the british prime minister will head to brussels this week to try and seal the deal over brags that the u.k. is szechuan to leave the e.u. on march the twenty ninth next year just over four months away after the twenty sixteen referendum that left the british public its lead divided on the issue the

other twenty seven e's states are expected to sign off on these so-called divorce papers and european representatives have been getting some positive vibes that the deal or finally be concluded this week. just to brief the ministers of the u. twenty seven degree window to reach last week negotiators level in the draft to reach the rule agreement as well as on the outline of the particular correction on the future relationship we are in fact at the decisive moment in this process no one no one should lose sight of the process the progress that we achieved in brussels. longer. breathe that ministers today support to overall package gregory speaking this deal is fair and balanced we want an orderly exit of you came and to you twenty seven stand behind that united but terrorism

a struggling to get support for it back home where it's led to a raft of government resignations and party plots to oust her from ten downing street after one of her toughest weeks yet as pm they said that getting rid of her would not make the braggs that 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 of negotiations of making sure we do get that final good deal for the country but you know 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 some of the biggest criticism of teresa mayes divorce plan comes from within her own party at least twenty five conservative m.p.'s say they have submitted letters of no confidence in the prime minister forty eight needed to trigger a leadership vote is taking a toll on the party and the tories are slipping in the polls as brags that supporting voters that lose faith in the p.m.'s plan it's seeing the opposition

labor party take a three point lead and ramping up pressure for a snap election we spoke to strategic and political analyst palo referee who says the e.u. might be backing this deal simply to move on from private. dealing itself is a sort of a program matic deal so it says that the reader to be done. meanwhile nothing will open it is a measure of the same urgency said that probably everything will be postponed up to two thousand and thirty two so what happens between now and two thousand times to use a sort of a leg or insufficient in which the decision is taken it looks like the. european union leaders in particular. political aspirations wants to get a treaty of these. files and so say the job has been done it really does with sealed. overheads and he can feel free

to move to other positions as you're supposed to do. to the extent even in the u.k. there is this sentiment this great city issues a sort of a daunting case for the entire structure of the situations. protesters in mexico have clashed with police during a demonstration against a wave of migrants making their way through the country. but i was. i i. i just got it in tijuana on the u.s. border where a caravan of migraines and central america trying to make their way into the united states last thursday alone about two thousand lifeboats arrived in the area and around. expected likely to be stuck there for months while asylum applications ourselves putting pressure on mexico and local services the u.s. has ramped up its border security with helicopters and wire and for the residents

of tuvalu tempus afraid. that's funny you know they're not migrants it's a human avalanche but they're not against the migrants i'm against how they're entering the country. this demonstration is necessary to push for the respect and rights of tier one as citizens we do not protest against anyone in particular we only demand respect for our city and that. they invade our lives and nobody protects our homes can i allow someone to come into my house to invade my life demand that i feed them with what i have earned well no way i want to register i want to ask for asylum because nine months ago my brother tried to kill me in a political campaign but what are we going to wade through a little bit because people say that it is like the not going to give us anything the doing that so people get exhausted not deported to endure.

when they marks a milestone on the completion of a major black sea gas pipeline project with the russian and turkish presence announcing a key off shore lines being finished r.t. senior correspondent juan castillo has the details. but the completion of the portion of the turkish dream is in didn't of itself a milestone politically and economically this is an achievement objectively speaking. nine hundred kilometers of pipes two pipes running together laid under the black sea depths of up to two kilometers under the under the sea itself suddenly this is done very quickly and let me put in expressed hoops that the land pollution of the pipeline will be made just as quickly as to with the pipelines themselves they have a frugal to combine throughput of thirty billion cubic meters of gas a year that is enough to keep twelve million european households heated supplied

with energy with natural gas for a year so certainly that is a huge amount of energy that europe is now going to be getting from milton it's of . the presidents of russia and turkey who met again to mark the occasion both expressed optimism that this is only just the stuff to talk them we and our russian partners have now come to the final stage of the project this is a project we've put a lot of effort into russia is a long term reliable partner and a very important natural gas supplier. but i want to thank the president of turkey it's good mr. gonna. be with the but i. believe he just google you for his political will and courage why because projects like this can't be realized without it under increasingly

competitive conditions. over the last year was so glad to be a putin has been a frequent guest here was turkey whether it be face to face meetings with the president that will try lateral meetings including iran three countries have helped establish group a ceasefire was in serious at the demilitarized zone and through their agreements that efforts a military invasion of it live by the syrian government. averted regardless booth leaders have remarked time and time again that russian. relations are all the yob and op that they're breaking new levels what with the construction of nuclear power plants new gas pipelines multilateral agreements economic political military and again the booth who. will continue to. president donald trump has launched into a twitter to raid against pakistan claiming that the country is continuing to take

billions of dollars in aid from the us but giving nothing in return in one of his posts on monday the us leader pointed to the example of bin laden who took shelter in pakistan trump said that despite washington giving islam a bad billions america was never told he was living there by his son's alleged and willingness to fight terrorism led the u.s. to cut eight hundred million dollars in military aid this year. supporting mr we give you a one point three billion those year which we don't give them any more by the way i did it because they don't do anything for us to do good damned thing for us. the pakistani government however says it has paid a huge price for its involvement in america's war on terror it says tens of thousands of lives have been lost that is a colony has taken a huge hit and it's been betrayed by washington. less discuss this further with alexandra bruno a senior analyst at lombardi letter thanks for coming into the come into the

program now first let's discuss why you think trump is taking such a hostile approach towards pakistan. well trump's host of approach to pakistan in the last few hours is not new p.r. actually went on a tirade against pakistan starting last january and then again in september. threatened to. strengthen ties to india for example so the. cutting off of they started before today. one of the now. i have to deal with this frustrating situation between the united states pakistan and afghanistan is very frustrating but the analysis has to go to the root problem what are the americans doing in afghanistan they first have to decide what they

want to achieve there they can't be there forever some kind of policy needs to start with afghanistan and their role or the their goals after that they can discuss the situation with pakistan return as being more of a i would say a victim of. the war in afghanistan. than a creator of the problem as the trump is trying to imply after all nobody very few forget remember this whole problem started in the eighty's when the. american plan to fight the soviets in afghanistan use proxies islamic fundamentalists proxies. for lying on the. pakistani intelligence so i think the first thing to do is to car and find the u.s. role in afghanistan once and for all yeah i mean if we look at what their initial

goal was that they said it was to get rid of the taliban what's in it and now they're trying to negotiate with them so this war on terror how will it affect relations between washington and islamabad they can't seem to get the strategy right ken lay. no and that's that although the strategy unfortunately starts from islamabad sorry from kabul in a sense because that's what is the situation this is a problem where the problems are coming from whoever i don't think trump will be able to keep up the semblance of cutting off aid for too long because pakistan is still a central piece in this strategy even as big as it is. if the americans let go of pakistan as an ally apart from the russians. there there is a china who waiting to pounce and of course pakistan old lots of might to china for

infrastructure loans and the saudis might pick up where the americans are leaving off in fact the saudis lent i think six billion dollars in aid to pakistan recently . and now what in order for that to happen interestingly enough pakistan decided to participate in the war yemen. in two thousand and seventeen or two thousand and eighteen recently but two thousand and fifteen if i can stand he's refused so there is. a realisation in islamabad that to develop a new alliances and to compromise on a few principles now that the pakistanis are acting as mediators between yemen and saudi arabia and iran as well so they're taking a softer role but. they did change their mind compared to two thousand and fifteen

so we have a confluence of interests coming to play which will keep the americans. force the americans to get back to pakistan oh and for one almost forgot to mention pakistan has nuclear weapons so the americans in some ways are. are compelled to keep a close and friendly i shall we say. in order to make sure that these weapons down there end up in the wrong hands alexander just very quickly how do you think this reduction in u.s. aid going to going to impede on pakistan's ability to root out those terrorists. well i don't know that's a big question because that goes back to the original my original problem what is the strategy how are they going to get rid of terrorists money alone isn't going to do it nor are weapons alone there needs to be a much more intelligent strategy however. what pakistan can do is pakistan

needs american aid need american aid from the very day it was born in one thousand nine hundred forty nine to forty seven sorry. americans lots of into pakistan since the fifty's so. it's very difficult for them to come to combine a strategy that gets rid of the problems of the terrorists and at the same time helps pakistan's bottom line. but they have to think of themselves first ok well we'll leave it there alexandra on their bruno senior analyst at the letter thanks very much for discussing the issue with us. thank you . back to our breaking news story now from the u.s. city of chicago reports are emerging that multiple people have been injured in a shooting at a hospital the shooter is said to be active.
