but. that's. your. new tenant commander of one of the ukrainian ships detained in the kutch strait says he consciously ignored russia's top three ukrainian ships were fired upon and seized by russia which say they illegally entered its territorial. yet another reckless russian escalation nothing in our opinion justifies this use of force it follows from russia's illegal acceleration of crimea in two thousand and four from

russia's illegal an acceleration of crimea in two thousand and fourteen the standoff was followed by two emergency sessions of the un security council where russia was roundly accused of being aggressive. find europe's pledge to support iran a major crippling u.s. sanctions french petro chemical giants totality quick to wrong largest gas projects a lucrative contracts now being picked up by china. and a school in wisconsin comes under fire for failings or punish students who appeared to give the nazi salute in a group photo we put up the debate. see a bunch of very innocent looking kids doing something stupid i think those things will be repeated and they. basically join the military and behave. a certain matters that are not acceptable commanded.

it a very warm welcome you watching r.t. international with me nicky aaron great to have you with us this hour our top story russia's security services have issued new details regarding sunday's clash in the current straits which escalated tensions between russia and ukraine moscow has released a video testimony of three crew members who are now in detention in russia including all of the lieutenants commander of one of the ukrainian ships who admits he consciously ignored russia's orders to stop. i'm going to melissa morey commander of the navy division of the grain and military forces were answered the cut straight after crossing the russian border we had visual contact with the russian border service vessels i consciously ignored their commands to stop when our boat we had small arms and a machine gun with ammunition i was aware that the action of the ukrainian vessels

and because straits provoker to i was following my orders to move our ships from the port or for this to the standoff took place in the cut straight which is between russia and mainland and the crimean peninsula conti's mar galathea is currently encouraging joins me now live good to see you can you give us the latest from the russian side on this. well the three offending vessels that you couldn't see them behind me stacked together impounded now in kutch they're still here but the federal security service which the day in them released more of what happened yesterday and who was on board the ukrainian naval philatelic there were two members of ukrainians ukraine's s.b.u. counter-intelligence counter espionage service they were. on board the flotilla

ukraine kiev has confirmed their presence it didn't say why exactly these two counter-espionage agents were on board but the russian side believes that they orchestrated they directed this provocative incident they also believe that it was ordered from the very top by authorities by the government in ukraine they believe they wanted this provocation and they got it the russians also offered us a timeline a chronological set of how all of this happened they said that they detected the ukrainians approaching early on they told them that they were approaching. russian territorial waters but the ukrainians said they wouldn't go in to cross the strait of could show they need any notification to pass under the bridge through the very narrow crossing between the eyes of c. in the black sea they continued on and then suddenly they declared that they were going to pass through the through the through the could straight usually ordinarily

you have to follow a notification out of security concerns it isn't that it's russian waters it may be russian territorial waters but there's an agreement in place by which ukrainian ships other ships can possibly russian territorial waters into the sea so long as they follow notification the ukrainians apparently said that they need to file any notification they will go into through the strait goo through the crossing ignoring all the traffic all the marine traffic that transports the tank is and make their way to the sea of as of and that's when the high speed chase began. contrary to the un convention russian border ships carried out a frankly aggressive action against the vessels of the navy of the armed forces of ukraine.

some of the footage we've seen appears to show the ukrainian vessels maneuvering dangerously turning sharply between pocked tankers and merchantman fishing vessels that were waiting in line to cross through the straits of this suddenly very dangerous situation and it appears to show them in the current straits itself and the russians have said that some of the some of this chase took part in territorial waters that were russian before the reunion with the crimea so on the eastern side of the cut straight which which costs doubt and ukrainian claims that these ships were attacked outside of russia's exclusive economic zone twelve miles outside

twelve miles beyond the sure. the russians have. appealed to the u.n. security council as have the ukrainians there's been reaction from great britain which condemned russia from the european union which for a deescalation we've also heard that the same is themselves now. facing court i believe trial is about to begin for illegal entry into russian territorial waters with weapons and i believe that's the charge nevertheless that there's a lot of calls from the united states specifically to release on russia to release these sailors and the three impounded vessels behind me. thank you for those days sounds that's right gaseous reporting live from. well russia's president vladimir putin discussed the situation with german chancellor angela merkel by phone western countries have expressed serious concern over what's happened and as more it was

just saying the u.n. security council has held two emergency sessions one requested by russia and the at that by ukraine. has more details so there were two emergency meetings of the u.n. security council not one the meetings were called regarding the situation in the current strait now at this point the first meeting was called by russia and western countries did not approve of the agenda items so it was not adopted the agenda was not adopted there was then a second meeting called on behalf of ukraine now the representative of russia spoke at the first session when he spoke he accused western partners of behaving like overgrown toddlers essentially by quibbling over resolutions and not simply working to resolve the crisis furthermore he pointed out that the provocative actions of the ukraine are coming as a ukrainian presidential election approaches and he pointed out that poroshenko

needs to boost his ratings to put those in persian goes ratings are extremely low to the elections not so far away so how do you hold onto power he really needs a serious exacerbation of the situation in a war that necessary next portion of the anti russian drug so that people in the country believe that all the troubles that youtube russia the second session was called on behalf of ukraine we heard from the united kingdom france poland and they rolled out a narrative that we have heard many times before about russia being supposedly an aggressor threatening the world and wanting to annex more territory what we witnessed this weekend is yet another reckless russian escalation that follows on from russia's illegal. solution of crimea in two thousand and fourteen nothing in our opinion justifies this use of force because the ukrainian side violated our border in a place which even before twenty fourteen was russian territory you know russia

must respect the full implementation of the means grim and you know that in addition i hope that you read the minutes greenman to know perfectly there's not a single word about crimea russia wants to comics the c. of a civil liberties and now it surprisingly turns out that we occupy the hands of c. is well this is something new if you me i'd like to assure you crane affair with solidarity united states will continue to stand with the people of ukraine against the russian aggression. so this could be perceived as calm for ukraine to carry out further provocations before the u.n. security council meeting began the russian foreign ministry was asked to comment on what it expected at the proceedings they said that they had no illusions they expected that as has happened many times before regardless of what facts they presented before the security council these facts would fall on deaf ears and the same narrative would be rolled out by western leaders and it appears that the

prediction given by the russian foreign ministry has proved to be correct. and he spoke with russia's deputy u.n. and for it to me tripoli anthy he says the west's response will only encourage ukraine further. i fear that after the western countries that have particular influence on ukraine are really displayed surf such an operetta toot the ukrainian side might feel a little bit and bold and tunisians for the provocations of this type because they haven't heard that they didn't hear during the meeting and your approach is from from western that they did something wrong though it seems to me that the issues of cynically clearly it is directly linked to the prospect of elections in ukraine it is directly linked to falling reaching as of president poroshenko so it was very strange that the security council colleagues actually avoided. calling calling these things by their real value. now after months of rumors china sea

n.p.c. oil corporation is replacing french toe towel in a round multi-billion dollar south park's gas project the move might come as a surprise to sun as daniel fishel explains. self pars is the angelina jolie of gas fields with by far the biggest reserves on the planet it's the industry's star attraction yet desperate bid to keep its paws on polls have been well a total failure who wins from trumpeting its own ally france his biggest bugbear china of course china sea and b.c. has officially replaced the pal insults parts but it has not started work practically talks need to be held with c. and b. c. about when it will start operations or about your pledge to stand up to terrible mr trump in gas industry lingo hot air mr michael will fight his nation's top employers unless that means shirtfront in washington now but we are going to start

a strategic trade war with the united states over iran and so i repeat very clearly we're not going to sanction or counter sanction american companies in response to this subject we will not force companies to stay and that is the reality of a business like the president of the french republic but he's not this is your of total never fear you both you cut to the rescue of our poor diverse as the european commission we have the duty to protect european companies so we now need to act and this is why we're launching the process of activating the blocking statute from one thousand nine hundred six. any one thing that blocking statute to stop us sanctions hurting europe no we're very angry at you mr trump and we're just going to let our companies fail as roybal regions take over investors quit iran's huge rail upgrade russia and china step in india's actually doubled purchases of iran's crude member

america's least diplomatic diplomat pledging to torture tehran we're going to do everything we can describe is iran hard as the british say to make to squeeze them until the pips squeak their squeaking sell and that's actually europe's top firms as they dropped by e.u. leaders so. think e.u. independence so much for europe standing up to trump. well economist alcohol no says that the european union is sadly unable to protect its own companies. if you look at the union by now with under. john carr you see that it is basically an organisation. maybe the russians out there americans in. various the european businesses know that nothing will happen. on one of these is. just the facts of the

of the power that americans are able to blackmail you know one of the kind of the companies you better say oh and they will grease thing and this is exactly what happens the companies pull out because the union is not able and not really to protect their own companies. the chinese the russians and the americans of course. residents in a small community in germany have been warned not to eat the local fish due to contaminated water which they blame on a nearby epics. i'm

. not ashamed of the un charter i'm thinking more and more about my baby people here are increasingly learning they have cancer i think that a lot of it is linked to the jet fuel this topic is sometimes raised locally but mostly effort one is scared to touch it and wounded to see it is not the news that every other person has cancer this includes me i have cancer my boss at work also has cancer it involves everyone and every day is just that not many think about it until it involves them. the number of cancer patients hasn't changed in the last ten years the same goes with the other diseases consequently from the root cause of the jet at risk you need research that would cover a much larger number of people you need a good database on diseases if the local hospital hasn't found

a spike in oncology diseases that doesn't say anything about a possible connection it's not the way it's established. the problem is that there are too many risk factors that influence our bodies in the end it's very difficult to find who's the one to blame. we need to find who to blame but who will go against the americans nobody will order them to leave this topic will always be denied well covered up i see that all americans rent apartments here and pay good money to trust where the tenants if they were to leave for that income would disappear. that's an additional. thank you. it was according to a german government report from twenty sixteen the country spends over three hundred thirty thousand euro on cleaning the water around the airbase seventy five percent of this will be refunded by the us armed forces we've asked the us armed

forces for comments on the pollution issue and have yet to receive a reply. and the students in the us escaping punishment for allegedly during the nazi salute america's first amendment comes under fire we've got that story and small after this quick break stay with us. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

what holds it to you so. he put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected . so if you want to be president and you. want to be. to the right to be close this is what the four three of the four people get. interested always at the water's edge. welcome back a group of high school students in the u.s. have avoided point a punishment for giving what appears to be banal salutes in a group photo the baraboo school district in wisconsin conducted an investigation and he will but no action could be taken to the students first amendment rights

which protect freedom of expression. we cannot know the intentions in the hearts of those who were involved moreover because a student's first amendment rights the district is not in position to punish students for their actions in the photo taken back in may students of baraboo high school can be seen raising their right owns some of them told the media they were simply waving to that parents but not everyone found that convincing the image went viral and that were widespread calls for the students to be punished. so we put the issue up for debate with antiwar activists caution acton independent political analyst to alice entrepreneur when it comes to first amendment i mean that is a very tricky thing and as far as i'm concerned wisconsin legislative house just passed a year or year ago they passed a legislature that if you actually do any type of protest or

some kind of action against the right or the neo nazis you actually get punished some kind of curious how they're perceiving that there's no consequences for doing that kind of behavior but then at the same time they're willing to punish somebody who's willing to stand against i definitely think it was right not to punish the students i don't even think it should have brought the first amendment into the equation because it diminishes the first amendment which has bigger fish to fry in this case i think to be dismissed as a prank so if you have an image especially photograph it's created it's it's not natural image so the question is who was the person who was taking the picture and who was the person giving basically direction to the kids to wave that way so that i mean that's i mean for me that's i think one of the most important things to take into consideration kids oh always want to do something stupid

particularly in the picture i've done silly things that pictures make my face look silly or wearing something dumb that's why i had an immediate instinct to defend these kids even though i will give them a few hours of history classes we look at their bearable con city or county general it's not a four percent white. so that kids in that county have a little exposure to other cultures that personally maybe inclusion education is not what it should be i believe these kids should get much better education or understanding of what that salute means in fact actually the history of the salute is very complex it goes back to roman times and it's actually the first officially known military salute so it has a long history not necessarily tied with heat of the time it became a symbol of hate perhaps in the one nine hundred twenty s.

and thirty's i disassembled he told them to wave in the ideas they did. they but that also comes from a lot of exposure to the media so we see a lot about trying to do it right in the streets we see a lot of proud boys but this type of social. social groups and social ideologies they're been popping up around our country so i can also see media having an impact on that. and you twist in the bill brown take a russian prosecutors are sending out corporation requests to the u.k. and other countries they suspect the businessman of having an international money laundering ring can find out more from our correspondent in a conscient of eight months going down the dana at belgrade is wanted for numerous crimes in russia what's being done to bring him to justice. well it really seems that the investigation is indeed in school swing as this recent announcement the decision that was made earlier by the russian prosecution office to open

a new criminal case against william browder of the british based finance he had quite a huge business a here in russia mostly here in moscow back in the ninety's and early two thousand he was charged with nine years and prison in the central for tax fraud and now russia has opened a new case and organized crime cases against him now russia in the process russian prosecutor is a plan to add mr browder to international wanted list then seize his assets abroad the investigation believes that the illegal activities of his organized group spread to several countries. we will obtain some documents. and move them but we won't just reach out to britain because the evidence points to the criminal group six to the two in many countries cyprus the us the baltic countries

and all those william browder is also under the investigation radar over the city game ugh need skee who was he is a lawyer and top tax advisor russia considered him to be informed and mr browder is criminal activities and he was arrested and died in a pretrial detention. became an international scandal with william browder accusing russia of russian officials of killing him and saying that all accusations against human were politically monts evaded he used the keys to a lobby the so-called mug needs key access sanctioning russian officials implicated in corruption and now russian prosecution prosecutor if you're basically stepping up with the marrow accusations and saying that they have enough to prove that i said game he was a poisoned by toxic chemicals on browder orders expect

no not his bill you see what you deal more time tests showed that there were symptoms of quantock poisoning with the toxic water soluble aluminum compounds taken orally there has never been full scale research of such substances in russia but over dozens of years texaco logical research of these components have been conducted especially by the us and. while moscow plans to seek a browder is extradition where yet to see whether there is going to be any reaction coming from the west following this recent russian request for cooperation and in a collection of our reporting live from central moscow thank you for those dates. well hear it on t.v. we love to hear your thoughts on all of our stories so do get in touch by following us on social media and posting one of your comments that we're back with the latest in just over thirty minutes we'll see that.
