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

are broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us there is a fresh development in the investigation over the death of anti-corruption lawyer sergei 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 mckinney 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 sanctioning russian officials implicated in corruption and now prosecutor general office here in moscow ease

practically 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 vassal mint and now prosecutor general office opened a criminal case into organizing at trans national and 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 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 browed it may face up to twenty years in prison it would be fair to mention that mr brough to himself believes that all these is politically motivated he returned rated many times that tooting personally stop him prosecutor general office has also sad that russia will soon hospital mr brown had to be extradited since these type of crimes covered by the un convention it was also added that some time ago a huge file about mr browder his crimes about a thousand a long document had been handed over to u.s. authorities but russian never received any uncertain. human rights activists are sounding the alarm over a teenage bride option that was held on facebook. looks at the uproar the social media giant is now facing. 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 ad 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 for 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 later 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 remailed artists of the seventeenth century or this story on the starving children in yemen by the new york times for the same reason and 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. sitting the kids in front of the t.v.

to watch cartoons should be a safe bet to keep them quiet for just 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 minds as archie's jack reports. 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. see now what washing 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 above her weight is no fun face to see is putin esque 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 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. 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 best 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 masha and the bear is hybrid warfare. it's british empire apologist and who sums up american decadence better than coffee. my nephews are watching mushing the bear too they don't seem to be particularly indoctrinated. i really really do not want to read more about how masha in the bag

is put in his propaganda. i can confirm that i watched two episodes of martian there when i was nine and i suddenly became a twitter bot he speaks russian. and. members of the world chemical weapons watchdog are locking horns over a plan to broaden its powers back in june a vote went in favor of allowing the o.p.c. w. 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. the decision in front of us today and let's be very clear. what was agreed by suggesting it was not comply with the convention is simply not true cummings. the russian federation.

i might be euphemistic can say ironic but frankly it is pungent hypocrisy. 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 dad 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 lives and hostility on the part of bill's delegations maybe 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. and united states on one side china and russia on the other and at the root of the split is the proposal that was voted through narrowly in june of this year that was put forward by the united kingdom and would give the o.p.c. w. extended powers that would give them the power to identify perpetrators all chemical weapon attacks now russia says this goes against 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 passed in turn was described as a contingent his call crissy by the u.s. ambassador the russian permanent representative to the o.p.c. . he said russia's western partners. we're doing their best to

undermind russia's proposals considering all the tricks of so-called partners use we understand they are really afraid but they do this if they weren't afraid unfortunately we see that our american colleagues are continuing their conflicts in line and we're used to it they already left the paris climate accord with the iran nuclear deal and now they're attempting to de rail the whole p.c. w.'s of the russian ambassador calling for the vote means that they wrapped up on a monday evening with that vote hanging over us it will be sorted out on tuesday morning we're expecting to see everybody back here in the hague brighton early to try and get into an end of this current impasse. britain's embattled prime minister looks to have a tough week ahead of her as her break up plans come under attack from all sides more than after a short break this is our international. thank. you

.

welcome back this is our international and the british prime minister will head to brussels this week to try and seal the deal over brags that u.k. is scheduled to leave the e.u. on march twenty ninth next year just over four months away after that two thousand and sixteen referendum that left of the british public bitterly divided on the issue the other twenty seven e.u. states are expected to sign off on the so-called the divorce papers and european representatives have been giving some positive vibes that the deal will finally be concluded this week. just to brief the ministers who do you twenty seven degree wind up to reach last week negotiators later in the draft to reach through

or agreement as well as on the outline of the particular correction on the future ownership we are in fact at the decisive moment in this process no one no one should lose sight of the process the progress that would mean a two wrestlers. longer. i am pretty that ministers today's report 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 patrice a mayor struggling to get support for back home where it has 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 and may said that getting rid of her would not make the brags it 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 against the engines of making sure we do get that final good deal for the country but you know the challenge of leadership at this point isn't going to make and against nations in need and it's not going to change the parliamentary arithmetic some of the biggest criticism of teresa mayes the divorce plan comes from within her own party at least twenty five conservative m.p.'s say that they have submitted letters of no confidence in the prime minister forty eight are needed to trigger a leadership vote. it is taking a toll on the party the tories are slipping in the polls as bridget supporting voters lose faith in the p.m.'s plan it is 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 paolo ruff phony who says the e.u. might be backing this deal simply to move on from bracks dealy the itself is a sort of a program out a deal so it says that the agreed to to be done. that meanwhile nothing was open it

is a measure of the same urge is said that probably will be postponed up to two thousand and twenty two so what happens between now and two thousand to use a sort of a leg or insufficient in which the decision is due to take a it looks like. if the european union leaders in particular. political aspirations wants to get a treaty of these sort of these files and so say the job has been done it really just been sealed and that's it sir no it's a hit and he can feel free to move to other positions as you know spies to do the sort of the extent even in the u.k. there is this sentiment amongst these bricks issues a sort of a daunting case for the entire structure of these institutions. monday marks a milestone on the completion of

a major black sea gas pipeline project with the russian and turkish president announcing a key offshore line has been finished art is but i got ever has before. the completion of the portion of the turkish stream 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 at depths of up to two kilometers under the under the sea itself certainly this was 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 fruit put a combined 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 met again to mark the occasion both expressed optimism that this is only just the stuff to talk them. and our russian partners have now come to the final stage of the project and 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. but i. believe he just google you for his political will and courage shame why because projects like this can't be realized without city is under increasingly competitive condition. over the last year was so not to be a guest here was. whether it be face to face meetings with the president had gotten

trilateral meetings including iraq. three countries have helped establish group b. c. spies in syria said the demilitarized zone and through their agreements their efforts a military invasion of. by the syrian government was averted were godless both leaders have remarked time and time again that russian and turkish relations are on the up and up that they're breaking new levels what with the construction of nuclear power plants new gas pipelines multilateral agreements economic political and military and again they both hope that these relations will continue to improve . president donald trump has launched into a twitter tirade against pakistan claiming that the country is continuing to take billions of dollars in aid from the us but giving nothing in return and 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 about billions america was never told he was living there part sounds alleged on willingness to fight terrorism led the u.s. to cut eight hundred million dollars in military aid this year. we're supporting pakistan we give you a one point three billion dollars year which we don't give them any more by the way i did it because they don't do anything for us they don't do a damn thing for us pakistan's prime minister has hit back a trump rejecting the accusations that islam abott has supported terrorism imran khan tweeted that his country has paid a huge price for its involvement in america's war on terror he says tens of thousands of lives have been lost that its economy has taken a huge hit and that the u.s. has only sent a minuscule amount of aid despite that political analyst alessandro bruno told us he believes pakistan is wholly reliant on washington's support. pakistan needs american aid need american aid from the very day it was born in one thousand forty

nine or forty seven sorry. americans have lots of it into pakistan since the fifty's so. it's very difficult for them to come to combine a strategy to get rid of the problems of the terrorists and at the same time helps pakistan's bottom line but that means they have to think of themselves first i don't think trump will be able to keep the semblance of cutting off for too long because pakistan is the central piece in this strategy even as big as it is we have a confluence of interests coming to play which will keep the americans. force the americans to get back to pakistan. authorities in the u.s. city of chicago say that four people including a police officer in critical condition following a shooting at a hospital on monday medical officials have said that the attack is over and that

all patients are safe according to police the suspect is dead however they have not released any information about the shooter's identity you have some live pictures here from. excuse me they're not live but they are the latest pictures that we have from chicago illinois on the scene it is also unclear whether the assailant took their own life or was killed by police here's how witnesses describe events. this starting right now parking lot another not hospital so obviously the sooner or sooner it's had the retreat in mass will cause we will flop then we will barricade any of that south wind came a poor thought you sold us some happen terrible. our first goal was to start getting patients out of the room and i grabbed who i could took them to safety lock them in. this one i just you know the noise from behind the doors the fact peace activist kava kelly told us the us needs to implement

stricter gun control laws what we need in the long run in the bigger picture to stop the gun violence is to look at what other cities have done all around the world they pass a law us to prohibit the sale and the i am not only of guns but also of ammunitions i believe that if all of the medical and health care professionals united in every single hospital across chicago and baden very very strong building block to say we don't want the guns the gun sales the ammunition being made available to people any longer it's one of the worst threats to public health i think that would actually be more important than training people to be on guard or wear bulletproof vests or be behind bulletproof shields i think if we want to shield their selves from gun violence we have to start with the major companies

that are selling guns and selling ammunitions shut those places down. now that you're watching international. with old make this manufacture consent instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes can protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the room signals. to leave the room i mean real news is really. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line and they get

accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or something want to. have to go right to be cross the survival of the forty three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters in the house. they sit. you know world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bats and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

i determine that you're the one. who did it. so i'm going to move into the interrogation. i leave the role electra's that there for several minutes because i

want you to get anxious. to think about the error of your way. and then i walk back yet and when i walk back in i'm going to have a big fix file with me. all kind of a person it may have seen just like our surveillance video been my all be blank. but it's a show you that i have a strong investigation and i have all this evidence. so the first thing i tell you is. our investigation has proven that you're the one who committed this crime there is no god about it whatsoever we have the evidence that you did it there is nothing that you can say that will convince me otherwise all i want to know is why . could you confess to a crime that you did not commit. and interrogation techniques used by the majority of police officers in the united states is causing controversy across the country.
