a bunch of very innocent looking kids doing something stupid i think those things will be repeated and they will lead to basically these kids joining the military and behaving in certain matters that are not acceptable argument. it's. a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me mickey aaron great to have you with us this hour now our top story russia's security services have issued new details regarding sunday's clash in the coach strait 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 off the lieutenant commander of one of the ukrainian ships who admits he consciously ignored russia's order to stop so i'm ready melissa boy command of the navy division of the grain and military forces were entered the code

straight after crossing the russian border we had visual contact with the russian border service vessels i consciously ignored their commands to stop on our boat we had small arms and a machine gun with ammunition i was aware that the action of the ukrainian vessels in the code straits provoke it if i was following my orders to move our ships from the port or for this to mario pull off took place in the cut straight which is situated between russia's mainland and the crimean peninsula r.t. is more a galaxy of reports on sunday's dramatic events. well the three offending vessels they could see them behind me stacked together impounded now. they're still here but the federal security service which the day in them revealed new details chronologically as to what happened yesterday and who was on board the ukrainian naval for the tiller there were two members of ukrainians ukraine's s.b.u.

counterintelligence 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 these 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 into across the strait of could show they need any notification to pass under the bridge through the very narrow crossing between the as of sea and the black sea they continued on and then

suddenly they declared that they were going to pass through the through the through that could straight. contrary to the un convention on russian border ships carried out and 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 but 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 pods and territorial waters that were russian before they were union with the crimea so on the eastern side of the cut straight which which causes doubt and ukrainian claims that these ships were attacked outside of russia's exclusive economic zone twelve miles beyond the short 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. deescalation we've also heard that the sailors themselves are now. facing court russia's president vladimir putin discussed the situation with german chancellor angela merkel by firing as our correspondent just mentioned western countries have expressed serious

concern at the what happens the u.n. security council held it too much as he sessions one requested by russia and the other by ukraine kind of lumping. so there were two emergency meetings of the un security council not while 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 up with the person person goes ratings are extremely low but the elections are not so far away so how do you hold on to power really needs a serious exacerbation of the situation in a war the necessary next portion of the anti russian drug so that people in the country believe that all the troubles that used to 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 address or 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 is that legal an expression of crimea in two thousand and fourteen nothing in our opinion justifies this use of force because the ukrainian side violated all border in a place which even before twenty forty was russian territory you know russia must

respect the full implementation of the means to prevent you know that an additional i hope that you read in the midst greenman to know perfectly there's not a single good about crimea russia wants to comics. the sea of us will. and now we'd surprise me turns out that we occupy the hands of c. as well this is something new if you me for i'd like to assure you korean 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 provocation before the un security council meeting began the russian foreign ministry was asked to comment on what it expected of 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. but with russia's deputy u.n. and for it to me. he says the west's response will only encourage ukraine father. i fear that after the western countries that have particular influence on the ukraine really displayed surf session of attitude the ukrainian side might feel a little bit emboldened to engage in further provocations of this type because they haven't heard they didn't hear during the meeting and he reproaches from from western that they did something wrong those who are it seems to me that the issues are simply clear it is directly linked to the prospect of elections in ukraine it is directly linked to the falling ratings of president poroshenko so it was very strange that the security council colleagues actually awarded polling calling these

things by their real value. after months of worry most china say on p.c. or oil corporations were placing french totality and iran's multi-billion dollar southpark gas project and move might come as a surprise to them as daniel bushell 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 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 what 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 it means shirtfront in washington and then. 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 the business life of the president of the french republic but he's not the c.e.o. of total never fear you both you to the rescue of our people 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 quits 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 that squeaking sound that's actually europe's top firms is that dropped by e.u. leaders so. alvey to think e.u. independence so much for europe standing up to trump the economist alcohol necessity european union is sadly unable to protect its own companies if you look at the union. with. john carr you see that it is basically an organisation. maybe the russians out there americans in. the european business know that nothing will happen the americans don't want this is. just the facts of

the problem is that americans are able to blame me oh one of the kind of the companies you better say oh no and build resistance 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 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 play on a nearby airbase. our

. national gun 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 f. or one is scared to touch it and wounded us 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 concentrate on the root cause in the wrists you need research that would cover a much larger number of people you need

a good database on diseases if the local hospital husni from the 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 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 thus an additional hit. according to a german government report from twenty sixteen the country spent 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 well we've asked the u.s. armed forces for comments on the pollution issue and have yet to receive a reply and with students in the u.s. escaping punishment for allegedly doing the nazi salute america's first amendment comes under fire that story and more after this quick break. thank you you. thank . anyone else chose seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out these days you can't get educated and in gains from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy from day shouldn't let it be an arms race to move his arms off and spearing dramatic development only loosely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical guy in time to sit down and talk. welcome back now has been a new twist in the bill browder case russian prosecutors are sending out cooperation requests to the u.k. and alba countries they suspect the businessman of having an international money

laundering ring or with more mundane a conscionable. it seems the investigation as indeed in full swing as the recent an ounce meant follows the decision that was made by the russian prosecution office to open a new criminal case against william browder of the british based finance he had a huge business here in russia back in the ninety's and two thousand he was charged with nine years in prison in the percent for tax fraud and now russia has opened up a new case an organized crime case against him russian prosecutors plan to add mr browder to international wanted lists and also seize his assets abroad the investigation believes that the illegal activity has organized groups brought to several countries in some documents remote movie. which would just reach out to britain because the evidence points to the group move group six to the two in many

countries the u.s. the baltic countries and. william browder is also under the investigation radar over the deaths of seven game who was his lawyer and top tax advisor russia considered him to be involved in mr browder is criminal activities he was arrested and died and pretrial detention. became an international scandal with william browder accusing russian officials of killing him and saying that all the accusations against him were politically montt to vait it he used it he has a case of back in two thousand and twelve to lobby the so-called mug sanctioning russian officials implicated in corruption and for alleged violations of human rights and now russian prosecutors are basically stepping out was a mere zero accusations and saying that they have enough to prove that game of need ski was poisoned by talks the chemicals on browder orders exposed now and that is

being. yes you can with your real post-mortem tests showed that there were symptoms of chronic 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 compounds have been conducted especially by the us france and italy and while moscow plans to see browsers extradition where yet to see whether there is going to be any reaction coming from the west on the recent russian calls for cooperation. a group of high school students in the u.s. have avoided punishment for giving what appears to be the nazi salute in a group photo the baraboo school district in wisconsin conducted an investigation and ruled but no action could be taken due to the student's first amendment rights which protect freedom of expression we cannot know the intentions in the hearts of

those who were involved more over because of students first amendment rights the district is not in a position to punish the students for their actions in the photo taken back in may students of baraboo high school can be seen raising their right arms some of them told the media they were simply waving to their parents but not everyone found that convincing the image went viral and there were widespread calls for the students to be punished. well we put the issue up for debate with antiwar activists caution again and independent political analyst alessandro burnett. when it comes to the first amendment and it 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 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 it 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 that 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 the parable con city or county general it's ninety four percent white. so the kids in that county have a little exposure to other cultures diversity 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 of usually 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 this is somebody told them to wave and they obviously 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 cut of this type of social. social groups and social ideologies there been popping up around our country so i can also see media having an impact on that. well if you have something you'd like to say would love to herit so i do get in touch by following guys on social media i'm posting all your comments that we're going to be back in about thirty minutes with all the latest to say that. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us of that with one trillion dollars in debt more than ten like homer aren't happy each day. eighty five percent of global wealth if you want to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred

three per second per second and that one 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 number you need to remember is one one business showed you know ford to miss the one and only. u.s. veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either they're already several generations of them so i just got this memo from the circulated branches off that says we're going to attack and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with their money others with their lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for

a war and surely we can risk some discomfort for an easy miss for. new to course tony. i'm one of them but i think it's ended up by going to one when there's a real body. of an innocent. victim to i don't want that or any case that's not me as i knew she needed that condom of to me and i had to yeah i encouraged him to keep it skinned and he had a ticking time bomb i know he made a move on

a photo of the man that he hung up the temple for out of the. skies or this is the kaiser report that. keeps the real. yes there's well we're looking at tapering a ponzi because apparently you can't taper a ponzi you are seeing that as we enter the volatile times in markets and our last guest tyler janks looks like he could be right it looks like big could be heading down to a thousand like he says because markets have been in chaos and. right now

as we speak two thousand eight hundred stock market gains are officially dead all those gains earlier and they are gone gone gone here's some headlines here i had just quite good at covering these sort of headlines because they're good at doing gloom headlines i'm going to read two of them nothing is working shellshocked investors observe the market carnage in dismay and the next one stock slammed into red for twenty eighteen amid carnage in crude crypto and credit you know it say something us work of us cash two point four seven percent on an eighteen month bank seeding you know that's not bad that's what most people are pouring into cash and hedge funds have one of their largest cash positions at the moment they're liquidating everything they're looked at liquidating their crude krypto in and credit and they're going long cash so they're hanging out in cash right now that is one thing now whether or not the dollar is going to soar as everybody tries to get

cash because a lot of people hold their cash and dollars the inability of any single asset class to escape the dismal black hole super gravity of devastating losses in a brutal post catharsis that has mutated into an equal opportunity route crushing returns across all assets have left investors reeling shell shocked and paralyzed and dreading what may come tomorrow let alone next year when both the u.s. economy and corporate earnings are expected to see their supercharged recent growth rates come crashing back down to earth now well i mean this is a set up for a four and a resumption of the bond ball market engineered by central banks so the question is are central banks prepared to let the credit market collapse or are they going to. do q.e. for now with the recent rate rises there's room now for q e four so they would come in and they would revert views reverse q t. or quantitative tightening and they'll engineer another bond market rally i mean that think that's i think that's what they'll do and you'll see everything risk

will be back on but they.
