lou. that russia is ready to respond to threats in its new hypersonic missile system stressing though it is purely a defensive weapon. prompted a reaction. or targeting western capitals with his own what a confrontational step what a confrontational speech. the democratic controlled committee is questioning the nature of u.s. . report that washington is poised to transfer. technology to riyadh that is the white house also nuclear ambitions as

a global threat and in florida for. me to hash tag we debate the issues rights. whether she was swept up in the moment or not we do not feel this is getting activity to celebrate we're taking this we're looking at this from a lens. perspective that we just don't understand it because we live now in such a divisive time. hello they're welcome they're welcome you're watching at international just gone six pm in moscow. moscow is ready to target perceived threats with its latest hypersonic missile although the russian president did stress to you that the new weapon is men solely for defensive purposes. threatened to retaliate by targeting western capitals with his own new weapons lattimer putin threatening to

target the united states with its new generation of hypersonic missiles if the us bases intermediate range missiles in europe or quite a confrontational step quite a confrontational speech by the russian president during his annual state of the nation address president putin did announce that calm and you hypersonic cruise missile that can be deployed from both land and sea will undergo testing later the here with more on this is done. another day another excuse to panic for the mainstream media for them for the second year in a row of the flavor of lattimer putin's state of the nation address is faster are deadly are you sure you knew another rule vonzell product does work on which you don't go in and you'll certainly be completed on schedule namely i would like to talk about the comm hypersonic missile good i'm going to do and that's a big enough trigger to get everything from the tabloids to serious outlets it ing

repeat the concerns are not entirely unreasonable though the zircon mess is set to become a force to reckon with it's a silent assassin covering three kilometers in one second means zircon travels nine times faster than the speed of sound the target literally won't hear it coming there's no hiding from it either it can hit both the ground and see targets within a range of a thousand kilometers it can be launched from either submarines or from military ships it is out of the books ready to use with the launch pads already in service yet the intimidating tech specs and to a bigger extent even the click bait headlines are obscuring the fundamental thing about the new weapon russia hopes it will. rust away and fall apart and not a single shot will be fired huge in other words you can you lonely. call russia the

biggest threat to the us around with but i can tell you that russia wants to have an equal and friendly relationship with the united states russia is not threatening anyone at all our actions in the security syria doesn't soley as a response and so they are of a defensive nature but i need to look at it moscow says it won't throw the first punch it only ever wants the missiles to be used as blanks during military drills but it's better safe than sorry while we discuss what this new missile might mean for global security with experts. i think it's a reasonable massy you know i have to tend to agree with the sentiments that putin has expressed because i saw no purpose that i think the issue of acceleration of the animosity between the two countries came by us is cancer not of i and half out of the treaty and that opened up the door for this so i think it's

reasonable for defensive purposes to do this i think we're a lot safer then the people in washington and the people who build our weapons claim we are because even if it's not for the fact of aggression and starting a war i think people when they make profits building weapons there are likely to promote problems actually in holland says the state stability of deterrent systems and the reason i say that is because deterrence currently relies upon missile systems or aircraft or different systems which are inherently detectable if america was to launch for example missile strikes which destroyed. russia's ability to respond by for example talk to combine to control systems the submersible weapon systems would still be available to actually mounts are a target for a strike on the united states which means hopefully the other side would be deterred from using its weapons. the u.s.

house of representatives has released a report indicating that the white house may be planning to transfer sensitive nuclear power technology to saudi arabia to make concerns in washington over iran's nuclear program when a democrat led committee has now launched an investigation into the matter as artie's kind of reports. if there's one thing that congress gets touchy about it's when the president tries to swerve around them this point we've got the house oversight committee looking into whether donald trump was trying to rush nuclear technology to saudi arabia. within the united states strong private commercial interests have been pressing aggressively for the transfer of highly said to us national security absent adequate safeguards these commercial entities stand to reap billions of dollars through contracts associated with construct to each and operating nuclear facilities in saudi arabia the concern is that this could lead to

saudi arabia developing nuclear weapons now from what we understand the saudis were refusing to agree to probations on processing good time and enriching uranium that other countries in the region have agreed to prague was apparently directly engaged in the efforts now the report cites a few whistleblowers who were in on the negotiations the whistleblowers who came forward have expressed significant concerns about the potential procedural and legal violations connected with rushing through a plan to transfer nuclear technology to saudi arabia i p three nuclear energy corporation that was part of the negotiations said that providing nuclear secrets was necessary because of russia and china it is a strategic imperative that the united states compete and win against russia and china in the nuclear power arena tom barrett who is on trial as inaugural committee also thought that possibly arming might be a good idea mr barracks in gage meant an investment in business development

throughout the middle east for the purpose of better aligned middle east and u.s. objectives are well known as are his more than four decades of respected relationships throughout the region the issue of nuclear power for saudi arabia has been discussed before but that refusal to agree to not enrich or reprocess has been a big stumbling block they wouldn't commit and it was a sticking point. and you might remember to sing a little bit of a double standard here not only does the united states oppose the peaceful nuclear energy program of the islamic republic of iran it's actually imposed sanctions on the country for decades and this isn't the first time that the twin track treatment of the two countries has left u.s. officials red faced in twenty seventeen a reporter asked about the usa criticizing iran's elections when saudi arabia is completely devoid of democracy here's how it went to a saudi arabia's commitment to democracy and does the administration believe that democracy is a barrier against extremism. we

see is that. it dissipating. we were able to make significant progress prompt has been very upfront about the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia he says that weapons sales make lots of money for american military corporations so america first told me it's all about america first we're not going to give up hundreds of billions of dollars in orders and let russia china and everybody else have a it's all about for me very simple it's america first when it comes to the middle east u.s. officials have long been known for a kind of double speak and contradictory policy but you can understand why some people might get

a little one nerved when nukes are involved. are to new york. the construction of russia's nord stream to gas pipeline to europe is in the spotlight again foreign minister sergei lavrov has called on european business partners to resist u.s. pressure to block the project after washington's envoy to berlin last month warned that he companies to wound companies to stop building the pipeline. knew was more to it you shit is impossible to specify restrictive measures it will always hit ordinary people like in syria iran or north korea and therefore it's necessary to stop imposing sanctions altogether the european union has been infected by the virus of u.s. impunity trumpet the white house it is the first such state visit by an austrian leader in thirteen years but the pair were in exactly seeing eye to eye on everything as peter all of a expects. the austrian chancellor has given his continued backing for the nord

stream to gas pipeline project despite clear objections from the united states sebastian kurtz was speaking after meeting with donald trump at the white house president trump has clearly said that the united states is against this project buying gas from the united states would not be a problem for us but as long as russia's price is beth of matter of the united states russia is more attractive for us as upon on this issue i believe that as a former businessman trump can understand that we have different interests here the united states pretty much hates the north stream to gas line project and doesn't care who knows it in fact they've got as far as to put pressure on e.u. nations and on companies belonging to european countries saying that there could be potential sanctions put on them if they continue to associate with the pipeline the u.s. argument is that north stream to leave the e.u. energy infrastructure overly reliant on sco all of that prompted the u.s. ambassador here in germany richard goodell to send out letters at the beginning of

the year to german companies involved in the project saying that there was a significant risk of sanctions should they continue to this time he said that germany should use the project to leverage against moscow didn't mike pence in munich just last weekend and the united states commands all our european partners who have taken a strong stand against north stream to. and we commend others to do the same and the austrian chancellor went on to say that from his meeting with trump it was clear to him that the united states is particularly unhappy with germany over this issue however but has shown absolutely no sign of being willing to tear up and damage its relationship with russia over the pipeline the flag of the i think you know one who wanted to be unilaterally dependent on russia to not receive russian gas not only the d.d.r. where i lived out as soon west germany during the cold. and i don't see why the times today should be so much verse that we can no longer see russia remains apart

whatever the failings of the united states the gas is set to start flowing later this year when stream too is fully operational it will be sending an extra fifty five billion cubic meters of russian gas every single year under the baltic sea directly into germany peter out of proportion there you're watching our table back with more news just after the break. you know world big partisan route. 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 smart we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront a shouldn't let it be an arms race in this spirit dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. welcome back now corporate giants including coca-cola. nestlé am putting their thirty cents from after the discovery that paid to files have been exploiting the

video sharing site discuss the issue with r.t. if you prefer. we are all more than just used to these premier all ads it's all these someone annoy me to use you always want to skip before actually watching the video you want to watch but it is a great way to advertise but right now a number of big companies are saying no to this type of advertising after it's been noticed that some of these ads may come along with the videos that are watched or commented by those who sound like real paedophiles in large numbers omega slate companies in the us have post advertising on you tube we've tossed all pretty role advertising through our advertising agency we have reached out to google and you tube to determine actions still take to eliminate this type of content from their service nowadays the reality is that kids get there for smartphones before they go

to school and they learn to shoot or post just like that and in that case technically there might not even be anything wrong with these videos but when you realize what kind of comments you may find under these clips this is when things get really disturbing some of them do sound like they were written by paedophiles and for obvious reasons we won't show you any of these videos or any of these comments and another thing that makes authorities suspicious to me is just hypo peter some of these to seemingly innocuous new move very basic video you seem to be getting the very popular on they just give us an indication of how many people do watch them in some cases these kind of videos have been viewed by millions of people and as you've said these are just ordinary things absolutely random kids little kids do at home but the way it works is. the more views the video scores the more expensive the ads get so all kinds of companies from car manufacturers to

beauty giants like l'oreal or maybelline find their ads glued to these controversial videos and other huge about algorithms are really making things worse because paedophiles can easily get carried away with scores of or commendations from you tube of similar video so there's something like a snowball effect with this so if you actually type in your girl it may give you additional words like little or hot and so on. is obviously a growing problem now isn't it they said they're actually saying that they do not tolerate any offensive especially child related content and they claim that they always take the necessary measures any content including comments that endangers mine is abhorrent and we have clear policies prohibiting this on you tube we took immediate action by deleting accounts and channels reporting illegal activity to

authorities and disabling violet's of comments indeed you tube official rules suggest that they will ban anything that guests gets posted that endangers minors and that includes comments but the trends that i have told you about show that there is a lot of work to be done there are still plenty of shady areas that have not been covered so you may have to rethink the ways they actually deal with this. now statue in the u.s. based on a landmark photograph commemorating the end of world war two seems to fall in the me too movement against additional surrender and depicts the moment in one thousand forty five when a soldier kissed a stranger on the day japan capitulated to the u.s. it was spray painted with the me to hash tag one day after the man depicted in the work of war veteran george mendonsa died. the age of ninety five where the image is considered a symbol of the euphoria that gripped the nation at the end of the war the woman in

the photograph said the sailor drunkenly grabbed her on times square and kissed her some suggested that does amount to sexual assault they are conic this was first published in life magazine and cemented a place in popular culture to the moment has been recreated in films and works of art as well as on victory over japan day anniversaries the meeting movement has a track record of reappraising historical issues but critics do say the movement sometimes goes too far for example by condemning everything from disney fairytales and popular songs to television shows women's rights advocate and international law expert jennifer breeden were divided over the latest meeting target. absolutely support the need to movement in saying this statue does not have right to stand because we have a big knowledge of it from the woman and i believe there's actually an acknowledgement from the man as well that he was drunk and didn't know her and so

if that's the case then anything that does not reflect who we are trying to become as a country as a people it can stand even if we have statements from the woman that was in the picture we don't have a lot of the intent we don't have we don't have the context of the time that it occurred in and so that's that's the point is that we're taking this we're looking at this from a lens of a perspective that we just don't understand it because we live now in such a divisive time whether she was swept up in the moment or not we do not see this as a fitting activity to celebrate in those moments such as the confederate in those moments it's ok for us to look at history and say this is not who we choose to be i mean there are times even in the one nine hundred sixty s. if you look at martin luther king jr and some of these civil rights protests even the protests for women i mean never never would would vandalism have been ok especially for dr king is criminal acts were peaceful they were meant to vandalize

to harm they were meant to prove a point but i do think it is important that we look at the times now and let's not why not why i try to find what is not in that let's not do that when you have to stand up and disobey and something that sometimes an up people sometimes violence sometimes things that we don't like will be required and don't want to make sure that everyone's placated and comfortable with what we're doing and that it's also politically correct because change sees nothing without a demand if there has to be some discomfort momentarily so that justice can be carried out then by all means that's what must be done and it's true that discomfort is going to happen what i bring up with dr king is that that he talked about his his purpose being to change the laws to change the laws for the better for. the laws and because the laws were unjust we have laws in america today that protect against sexual assault that protect against unwanted advances advances that are not consented to so we have laws today for that even if we didn't back in one

thousand nine hundred five and so i think i think it's relevant to bring this up in that context and civil disobedience goes against the law because it's an unjust law there is no law here that is unjust it's the behavior of men that we're seeing in society and in this instance it was men from sixty years ago. finally diplomats in brussels are being told what to watch or what they say when they're right in public a recent report warns that there are hundreds of russian and chinese secret agents apparently snooping in the city's cafes and also restaurants. investigates for my next assignment i'm going undercover to see if we can expose a nest of spies in brussels it's a city best known for its food being at the heart of european politics. but now that to tangle dup in new scandal the european capital brussels is apparently full of spies hundreds of russian and chinese agents. even security

services have reportedly suggested that diplomats should avoid a populous state cares and to care fate near the european commission's q. it mentions. names but it doesn't take a super spook to realize that this is the only steak house nearby where the food is apparently being served up with the sight of said information. this is the only think house in the area so. this is. this is you know. it's amusing to think about this and i don't think it's true. you. know i would love to get calls like james bond. but. i'm not convinced i'm sure he knows more what's he hiding. i was never questioned by the

security service but i can imagine they did background checks and they probably did . you. know more after the interview i'm not going to speak to mr such is the concern about spies stalking the streets of brussels but the e.u. is diplomatic and foreign wing the e.p.a.'s has warned member states embassies that hundred saw the loose so if they know. where all they. been told that this city is full of spies have you seen any yet yet. and i'm respond favorably hold still for the rich and give to the poor and we need to do that in brussels with all those europe have you seen any yes we have you have

people that you don't know about that are the most important spies they know the most so not russian not chinese. related to the right direction. i have been told that you can. oh you i am definitely a spy on the. net command to least also from the m.s.m. . she looks like a good spy doesn't she russian spies. must leave or well after much searching here in the heart of brussels it seems that they've been taking me on a bit of a wild goose chase and no we're actually spice. back in the restaurant the only tells me that even if they were filling up the seats they

probably went over here you see. it's very difficult to spy there's lots of noise and you can choose where to sit so you can just arrive here and say there is the commission i want to see a former head over belgium state security service once described brussels as being like a kindergarten for spies he said they usually pretend to be diplomats and lobbyists or shakara journalists so with the trail getting colder and colder it looks like i'm the closest thing to a russian spy now what was that restaurant. r.t. brussels. and that is the news for now here an r.t. we're back with more stories in just over half an. and play.

with roll make it when the running clubs to some protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts only the one percent of. the time million more you'll need. to do to correct the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests or is it just a lawyer here i mean your list book video would put him in the new bill is that i mean you split needle the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. of those who took the lead invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic.

i've been saying the numbers something they've matter to us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime happens each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent global market most thirty percent some with four hundred five hundred three first second per second and fifth when he rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember in one one business showed you know for the mid one and only boom box. cutter.

does or this is a good as a report a member of the what happened we're now in what's called deep globalization i'm sure they caused it but that's what's going on along with dede dollar as asian to get more on this let's turn to. yes in fact. you know juxtaposed to our last episode where we talked about china seeking further globalization just as america back and post world war two was also at the helm and expanding globalization because they were the rising power they had the marshall plan in order to just very similar to the belt and road initiative from china but while the rise in power.
