oh you little i. party shows unique footage from the russian defense ministry first full public classroom and hypersonic strategic missile pulled up on. britain's the times newspaper interviews a chechen fight with the stanton government forces in east ukraine he says there are members of islamic states in its ranks for the leader of his battalion earlier admitted to being part of a terrorist group committing atrocities in russia. also had tensions syria reportedly masses treated in the northern city of turkey reinforces positions in the area held by u.s. backed rebels.

evening you're watching r.t. . a major new missile delivery system called out on god will enter russian service next year artie's the first channel to show unique footage from the defense ministry first public test run of the weapon which is capable of firing nuclear missiles. the way. it's picking off to the launch of russia's oven guard ludmer putin who oversaw live personally from defense ministries control and command center here in moscow

explained the importance of wednesday a vent saying it was great success as it was excellent new year's eve to the entire nation adding a twinkling sure russia's security for generations to come. you use the more. vulnerable to any current or prospective missile defense system of a potential enemy this is a big victory for a country. russia claims that is a unique equipment and it is better than anything that any country in the world at face moment has let's take a look at some of the best features of a bang guard. as

russia's president puts it it's all about protecting the country and its population in the vanguard sounds indeed like a very powerful weapon if you words about what happened exactly today the weapon that was launched from the virus military base in russia than you romantic as kremlin reporters successfully heat the training target on the. six thousand kilometers away of course there were different concerns over the use and the launch of a guard of a guard weapon in the west with critics say it does not comply with global treaties especially the so-called i n f treaty intermediate range nuclear treaty requiring the us and back then the u.s.s.r. the treaty was signed thirty years ago in ninety eighty seven all nuclear and conventional weapons with the ranges of up to fifty five hundred kilometer is

but russia says it does not now violate the treaty in any way and putin said today after the launch that vice versa. it restores the global balance the global security balance just to remind you of unguarded was a month due to nuclear weapons that putin presented during their march say in the dry shahad to develop its military industry in response to us says success in this fear and developing their missile and anti missile defenses so definitely putin sees vanguard floor inch and developments of military industry in russia as a response to us is moves but definitely not everybody sees it the same way. we discuss this issue with

a difference on this who believes that the current political climate misspoken you almost race. well i think the u.s. is also working on these types of things in the first one to launch one doesn't always get to win the contest as the as we saw in the age and also in the space race so but certainly. the u.s. existing u.s. has defenses can't deal with them but existing u.s. defenses aren't that good against regular missiles so it is start this. doing away with the a.b.m. treaty is start a new arms race but i think you know we're just building more and more nuclear weapons when we should be trying to limit them and the new start treaty is coming which is the arms limitation for the longer range missiles is coming up in twenty twenty one so you know that would be a good time to cool you know cool off the arms race and you know lock in

some limits on these types of weapons as well. britain's times newspapers printed a highly controversial interview with a chechen fighting against anti-government forces in eastern ukraine the head of his battalion earlier admitted his fight is waste he had in syria and the leader was even part of a terror group committing atrocities in russia in a patrol. so a big piece in the times on chechens on east ukraine front lines from a few dozens to more than one hundred there shoulder to shoulder with kiev's army but technically aren't part of it they're absolutely frank and open about their background saying we've been to syria and iraq we've been taught to kill by jihad it's there here's an extract from the times some of the potential ians gunman admit to having home the combat skills and islamic state training camps in iraq and syria this horrific background does get a mention what the times journalists don't mention is other elements of the

commander's biography like being part of an underground movement behind the past terrorist attacks in russia which took hundreds of lives earlier another british newspaper reported that the very same commander was against murdering civilians however he said those bloodbaths were understandable and were the only way to make moscow hear something as to why he and his fighters are in donbass now here's what it says in the times report the bichon had a simple explanation for fighting for ukraine against kremlin backed separatists putin is our enemy he said he brings a really evil we did hear about ethnic chechen groups fighting on both sides of the front line a long time ago so why would the times bring it up now the peace follows plenty of articles on ukraine versus russia that came out late the here are some of the headlines moscow's always been described as an aggressor think the kurds straight

naval clashes first of all yet when it comes to this report on chechen militias ukraine's deputy minister of information policy is thinking putin's propaganda on purpose or maybe not the real people who home the ukrainian media space and play along to put. propaganda recruit agents some are just useful idiots when i asked russian diplomats about i saw a linked fighters siding with kiev's forces i was told after years of various external attempts to radicalize ukraine there isn't really much of a surprise that you could prolong military conflicts especially supported by arms and money from outside have always attracted people different views the same happened in syria we've people who support religious fundamentalism is coming from far away and who ows will do fine in ukraine these jihadi fighters help ukraine realise its agenda of suppressing dissent all parts of quite

a familiar story with a couple of new twists with us the ukrainian government and military to comment on the times reports about them working with terror link chechen fighters will let you know if we get a response. tensions are growing in the northern syrian city of mumbled shelled by u.s. backed kurdish rebels in the syrian army is gathering there according to the latest reports also since forces that man big build up comes amid alleged israeli air strikes on syria on tuesday night that are reported to have injured three people obviously has been. this has been confirmed by r.t. sources that syrian troops have arrived in the province of man bridge which is in northern syria and it is an area that is controlled by the u.s. backed kurdish fighters they've arrived with some forty pickup trucks two tanks alawi's and armored personnel carriers it follows a request that was given last week by the kurds to the syrian soldiers to come and

assist them and we are hearing. that they are planning an offensive so certainly the situation on the ground is intensifying not only between the troops but also between those who support them in other words the united states versus turkey now this comes hot on the heels of the surprise announcement by the american president that the united states will be withdrawing american troops from syria. we do not support and we would oppose efforts to move south and engage in activities against the syrian democratic forces kurdish commanders have made commitments that they will turn over areas to local populations as they have been so tremendously exists successful liberating those areas from dash.

we noticed more movement from the euphrates shield along the front line as turkey before its military operation on a free and threatened that manned beach would be the next target as i said before our relationship is a critical juncture either we must put it back on track or move further deteriorate and it is one that is going to be given priority in our joint work in their effort in this is one of his vision for measuring good one of the issues fresh to work together with. we are a part of syria and we don't support. what you want an agreement to be reached and soften nutrition as part of a free syria at the same time tensions are also increasing between israel on the one hand and syria and lebanon on the other the lebanese are drafting and urgent

complained to the united nations security council over what they say is israeli military jets infringement of lebanese airspace it follows his waiting strikes overnight tuesday in which israel hit a number of targets in the damascus area this is what the lebanese transport minister has to say humanitarian disaster which could have affected passengers of two civilian aircraft in lebanon's airspace during the israeli air cross and vision for strikes on the south of damascus was there we avoided now at the same time the russian defense ministry has issued a statement in which it says that when those israeli strikes were happening there were two civilian planes that were coming in to land in beirut and in lebanon and that the israeli operations endangered or could have potentially endangered civilian lives the israeli operations happened and act and saw the syrians having to activate their ground to air missile defense systems at the same time we syrian

soldiers were injured and an arms depot was badly damaged. israel's alleged actions are not the only serious escalation in the region he's warning fronts against backing kurdish militias in syria assisting the french soldiers there are no benefit to anyone that's up to france pledged to keep troops there despite the u.s. announcing it was pulling out its forces. if fronts a string to contribute to syria's future great but if you're doing this to protect the militia this will bring no benefit to anyone mcraney doesn't want to leave right after trump because if he leaves right after trump left he's going to look like he's going to look like he's playing follow the leader he's going to look like an american puppet he's going look like he's on the bad side of a ventriloquist act with president trump and he doesn't want to look like that he wants to look strong when we look at french the french role and it's basically been non-existent they've played second fiddle to the united states if they think they

can fill in the shoes of the united states and continue the coalition fight against isis without the us france has neither the money to finance this operation they don't have the boots on the ground to support the operation so it's basically a lose lose situation with france right now a stranger in the name the black hole to suggest that the notorious mercenary group is making a comeback we'll have details for you after this break. people feed the economy because they buy scratch tickets scratch off lottery tickets they you know when i was living in the ghetto in new york you know the red apple grocery store uptown had the highest prices in town right in the liquor stores are open any buy you know more expensive in the ghetto and that's how you build an economy it's

always built on the backs of the poor america was built on the slave market america has built up prison labor to give them a look at the good times of america the ne'er do wells that are very swishy and swell that's over we got to go back to basics. when our mind when the content of our mind. changed there are fees to ratio of the level of the physiology that is what the level of the brain the brain as a form of plasticity can rewire itself and not just the brain but also the rest of the body respond to.

the u.s. defense secretary spent his christmas working at the pentagon even after donald trump's abrupt decision to remove him from office two months earlier than he planned to resign was not this holiday letter to u.s. soldiers in this world awash in change you hold the line storm clouds loom because of you your fellow citizens live safe at home. james mattis resigned last week after the american president announced his decision to withdraw troops from syria you also advised donald trump to keep troops in afghanistan opposing the idea of using private contractors in war the now it seems that's precisely what could happen next against the experience. imagine you're sitting there on your porch reading about guns and huntin and all things good and then you see this ad we are coming blackwater judging by the logo the infamous private security group who is trigger happy antics further disgrace the very name.

and i wonder if it appears that. they were dead bodies everywhere and this is the argument going about even with few people in society among the dead bodies ministry as in which in the world of seven years old. just last week a former blackwater contractor was charged with first degree murder for his part in

that slow thought it was then that things went easy for the mercenary group which was then rebranded renamed and resold into obscurity but it's presumably back now nice states are spent dearly in blood and treasure in time in afghanistan every prince co-founder of the original blackwater now that everyone's fearful over trumps of ghana's stan withdrawal erik prince sees an opportunity the option i was pushing the options that were considered by some of the white house and irregular warfare options that would use cia capability. special forces capability some contracted capability to strengthen to give a skeletal support structure to the afghan security forces prince is selling a new kind of war private war war waged not by governments but by corporations the plan is simple six thousand mercenaries backed up by the few

thousand u.s. special forces guys give them a small air force private their force and the glue cost to about five billion dollars a year a year for reference the afghan war has cost on average five billion a month for seventeen years but the pentagon is reluctant you just can't trust national security breach these reputation to merck's to guys willing to kill for money when the american put put their mission credibility on the line privatizing it is probably not a why it's idea every prince's been absent for years he's been selling this plan since he found out that the president wanted to get out of afghanistan the president was right to campaign against endless wars and he resented her message to hand he's going to other matters to for this to happen if we leave decisions on

warfare soley to the pentagon we will be at war for well mr prince had been new year to you james mattis u.s. secretary of defense will leave his post on the first of january and john bolton trumps security advisor is much more pliable there are always a lot of discussions i find helpful i'm i'm always open to new ideas but the issue here is different it's more about principles about morals we know how blackwater behaved in iraq we know what they did when they had immunity they ran wild they shot and killed with a. bandon would you trust the same people to run an entire war every prince's selling point may not be that he's cheaper it's that trump and the pentagon will become less accountable gotta start will no longer be entirely their

responsibility if blackwater or whoever else messes up at the beyond their heads and it'll all be written off to plausible deniability and corporate bureaucracy so what do you think worth a try letting mercenaries run an entire war. or christmas past now and the end of the year is getting closer across the stories the may twenty eighth teen is our quirky media analyst lionel his is a personal look back. believe. that what i think. maybe you could read it all please stop it you know we're talking about.

mark as zucker berg his testimony regarding facebook social media and the loss of data his appearance before face of before congress was a disaster nothing short of a disaster next mainstream media news in general took a hit from every conceivable angle and i believe that one of the readers might have been. the jim acosta moment next. marco and globalist in general and we did this. and it was a template and a learning lesson for i think most of the world. our own senator elizabeth warren also called liaquat our focus hondas a woman whose native american ancestry was completely unraveled and disproved via

d.n.a. . it was anything short of miraculous considering the fact that everybody in the world of politics both democrat or republican everybody the media print otherwise everybody was against him his family his legacy name and how even survived is another story but he was no regular. there was a revolution going on in the world right now regarding the new platforms and new bases rupert mation delivery and platforms such as this are proving that this is the best source of new again why the ability to not be limited by a commercial the ability to speak freely the ability to question more.

you saw president drum in control with chuck schumer dissolve being in the. sofa or the couch or the settee whatever you were just being lectured to with nancy pelosi saying i think we should maybe take this elsewhere and it was a chance for people to see what politicians sound like when they're really getting into it. the initial screech and clamor of revolution. we saw with the yellow vests we saw it elsewhere we saw different beginnings of what will be a cataclysm

a change in the structure all of the world in what was intended to be this global even up polar type of concretization of the world that changed. the truth hurts i think it's long gone thanks to you guys for cheating in this evening for this hour i'll see you in about thirty five minutes. lead. player who. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long for the ultra rich eight point

six percent market saw thirty percent from last year some with four hundred to five hundred trees per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars. but don't let the numbers overwhelm . the only numbers you need to remember one one doesn't show you can't afford to miss the one and only boom but. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going foundation let it be an arms race based on often spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. a.

little. words that come to russia no one's ever no one has ever heard of and never even heard about most school.
