says. russia is ready to respond to threats with this new hypersonic missile system stressing though it's purely a defensive weapon and this statement certainly profited reaction. threaten to retaliate by targeting western capitals with his own new well quite a confrontational step but a confrontational speech is not. at all our actions and. as a response to. a democratic controlled committees questioning the nature of u.s. sound the time new report reveals washington is poised to transfer sensitive nuclear technology. and is the white house also touts iran's nuclear ambitions as

a global threat. to his leader public it defies donald trump on russia's north stream to pipeline up to heated talks in the white house. very good evening this is r.t. international. warned that moscow is ready to target perceived threats with its latest hypersonic missile although the russian president stressed a new weapon is meant 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 for quite a confrontational step quite a confrontational speech by the russian president well joining his annual state of the nation address president putin announced that new hypersonic cruise missile

that can be deployed from both london sea will undergo testing later this year it is done as details. 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 another example product to work on which you don't go in you know certainly be completed on schedule namely i would like to talk about the comm hypersonic missile. 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 box ready to use with the launch pads already in service yet the intimidating tech specs and to a bigger extent even the clip big 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 a huge one of the words you can you lonely decision called russia the biggest threat to the us but i can tell you that russia wants to have an equal and friendly relationship with. russia is not threatening anyone our actions and the sooner you are done slowly as a response. of a defense of nature that 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. the construction of russia's nord stream to gas pipeline to europe is again in the spotlight russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov ascott on european business partners to resist u.s. pressure to block the project last month washington's envoy to berlin wall indeed companies to stop building the pipeline knew was more than a torturous it is impossible to specify restrictive measures it will always hit ordinary people like in syria iran and 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 that's what the subject of the north stream pipeline was also raised in austria's chancellor president trump at the white house it's the first such state visit by an austrian leader for thirteen years the per weren't exactly seeing eye to eye artist peter oliver explains the austrian chancellor has given his continued

backing for the north stream two 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 better matter 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 too leaves the e.u. energy infrastructure overly reliant on russian gas and that that could potentially

be used as a political tool by moscow or 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 their involvement a month later the ambassador was again talking about nord stream to this time he said that germany should use the project to leverage against moscow a sentiment that was well picked upon and repeated by the u.s. vice president 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 for 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 open damage

its relationship with russia over the pipeline the flag of the up that you no one wants to be unilaterally dependent on russia but will receive russian gas not only the d.d.r. where i live but as soon west germany during the cold thing and they don't see why the times today should be so much verse that we can no longer see russia remains a partner whatever the feelings of the united states the gas is to start flowing later this year when north 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. the u.s. house of representatives has released a report indicating the white house may be planning to transfer sensitive nuclear power technology to saudi arabia that amid concerns in washington over iran's nuclear program and democratic committee has now launched an investigation into the matter within the united states strong private commercial interests have been

pressing aggressively for the transfer of highly sensitive nuclear technology to. saudi arabia a potential risk to u.s. national security absent adequate safeguards these commercial entities stand to reap billions of dollars through contracts associated with constructing and operating nuclear facilities in saudi arabia on the report raises concerns over potential violations of the nuclear nonproliferation act the document also points at the trump administration efforts to bypass congress on the issue lawmakers in the house of representatives warn the moves could destabilize the middle east a number of trump senior officials are said to been directly involved in planning the deal. the i p three nuclear energy corporation which took part in negotiations defended providing nuclear information to riyadh claiming that it would help to

defeat russia and china in the field saudi arabia's refusal to rule out to rein him in richmond which could lead to nuclear weapons has sparked fears of transferring technology in the path. iranian foreign minister javad zarif immediately condemned the late news calling the us me of hypocrisy a little consciously rockwell suspects the white house has iran in its sights if it's really is funneling nuclear tech to the saudis. day by day it becomes clearer to the world what was always clear to us neither human rights nor a nuclear program have been the real concern of the us first a dismembered journalist now illicit sale of nuclear technology to saudi arabia fully exposed us he procrustes the idea that they would arm mohamed meant zalman with nuclear weapons just strikes me as something out of a science fiction movie it's like dr strangelove it's very alarming it's a terrible thing to spread this kind of technology and this is all part of the the . plan to destroy iran and they they hate

iran iran is not promoting terrorism iran is not all the things they say it is it's a peaceful country it's got a very small military and out of date military and they're not a threat to anybody it's this is really a horrendous thing and i'm so glad that was the blowers in the white house gave this information to congress. us and to just see some of that has been arrested after claims he staged an attack on himself authorities in chicago have challenged him for filing a false police report claiming he did it to boost his own career a lot more pain has details. well just the small lat is an african-american actor he is openly gay he appears on the popular television program called empire and he claims he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack however he has now been arrested on full loading us disorderly conduct charges they say that he staged the incident and filed

a false police report there was quite an emotional response from the police officers who say that essentially he staged the incident in order to try and increase his salary as an actor let's see some of what the police are saying why would anyone is specially an african-american man use the symbolism of a noose to make false accusations. could someone look at the hatred and suffering associated with as i'm going and see an opportunity to manipulate this symbol to further his own public profile. how can an individual who has been embraced by the city of chicago turn around the slap everyone in this city in the face by making these photos charge claims the report was filed on january twenty ninth smell that claimed that there were two men who grabbed him they poured bleach on him they put

a noose around his neck and shouted racial and homophobic slurs at him and also told him quote this is maggie country being short for make america great again the donald trump slogan the police afterwards arrested two individuals who are identified with the closed circuit t.v. surveillance video and that those individuals were released now in the initial aftermath of the incident there was a huge outpouring of support for jessie small at all across the social media was a many people speaking up including many celebrities this is some of what was said in the aftermath of the incident we have a media that's. saying it's a debate whether or not what just happened and just the small it is a hate crime it's absurd. it's an end to it higher how do you think this is how you have to be fired ailes and possible to not feel this way right now president and the vice president mike pence who like wishes i couldn't be married

let's just be clear home broken and furious reading about the attack on juicy small moods i want trump and all my good lunatics to bunin how homophobia existed before trump but there's no question that since he's injected his hatred into the american bloodstream we are less decent less human and less loving no intolerance no d.t. at this point we're seeing many statements on social media of individuals essentially arguing that even though the incident appears to have been staged it is still important and it was still an important part of the conversation and they don't seem to have outrage and they're still supporting small lead now in the aftermath of the incident we saw many people directly blaming the trumpet administration for the incident linking it to donald trump however now that the facts seem to have come out now that small that has been arrested we're seeing many people are retracting their statements and so quite a bit of confusion will be following up on what happens next in this case but at

this point you know the indication and the charge of the police seems to be that this hate crime was not really one that took place this this did not happen according to what the police are saying so we'll be following up with more information. today president trump weighed in tweeting that smell that insulted millions in the mag movement with his dangerous comments and maggots been in the news for another story as well over the student involved in a standoff with a native veteran that went viral last month or that student in question has filed a lawsuit against the washington post is aiming high two hundred fifty million dollars no less claiming that it failed to put the video in context the posting gaijin the modern day form of mccarthyism by competing with c.n.n. and n.b.c. among others to claim leadership of a mainstream and social media mob of bullies which attacked vilified in threatened nicholas sandmen an innocent secondary school child the post ignored basic

journalistic standards because it wanted to advance is well known and easily documented biased agenda against president donald j. trump by impugning individuals perceived to be supporters of the president a spokesperson for the washington post said that the company was now looking over the lawsuit sure so claimed the news outlet will do everything it can to win the case lawyers for the students family have also sent dozens of letters to celebrities the media companies are urging the recipients to preserve records related to the incident right after the original video went viral many prominent people slammed the behavior. name these kids i want to shame them if you think these wooden dogs you in a heartbeat think again. blame would poison me. i weren't doing it over here i blame. whatever little. students from kentucky boy covington catholic high school were instructed to meet

on the stairs of the lincoln memorial a few yards away where five black men who identified as hebrew israel after nearly an hour of enduring the verbal attack the boys asked a chaperone if they could perform one of their pep rally chance to drown out the hate group the chant attracted the attention of a group of need americans mr phillips began moving to his right down a line of boys eventually stopping face to face with nextel. and i'm joined now by legal and media analyst lionel great to have you on as always sir lionel i do want to watch game of thrones about remember so that evolved trial of course in the real world we have something much more brutal trial by media and boy as just the smell of witness what that is like what he made of this. this is the most fun i have addict you don't know how long i am a former prosecutor i'm a trial lawyer by profession and i have devoted my entire life to stupid criminals

people who've done the most ridiculous things ever but let me just give you one thing a little bit of advice if you're going to involve yourself in one of the biggest hoaxes ever to involve everybody from the president of the united states to white america gave a tip if you're to be a pull out for him if you're going to risk an entire career over something that you have manufactured and you enlist the help of two individuals to help you carry on this bogus hoax do not repeat do not pay them thirty five hundred dollars in that shack do not write a check to your co-defendants to perpetuate the hoax it is it is so bad the facts are if i told you this and you didn't know anything about this you would swear i was kidding you that i'm making this up that this can happen the hardest part is keeping a straight face but what's even more interesting are the number of people who say

because remember this. our mainstream media news the corporate major media news news of them is a story it's like a screenplay something that they wrote it's a story that they've committed themselves they've wedded themselves to date they are connected and they are so wedded to the story that if the facts get in the way of this they say well what do you do but assuming this to be true we saw it during the russian collusion story when the senate said there was no russian collusion and the mainstream media said yes but assume there was disregarding the facts going with a narrative you can't believe how the mainstream media who apparently sees some kind of learning of a learning. lesson from this how they're missing the fact that this is a ups add a pathetic case that involves oh it's

a hoax an individual who committed a crime for filing a false police report perhaps even and their charges may even get worse if he spoke with federal agencies but i want to get too much into that this is the most amazing case as you can tell by my excitement and effervescence aside from being one of the most hilarious cases of idiocy and sadness it's a wonderful kind of assess of story line on the mainstream media the law and i'm sorry to interrupt the us why this is so essential in the u.s. is it a particular of us thing why this obsession with coming to a conclusion whether someone is the victim or the criminal want to just wait for the for the court case and find out. oh come on that would make sense we live in a world of c.s.i. and t.v. we also have this device here which gives us instant expertise in everything from

the constitution to law and to medicine to history and we always love to figure out what happens and what's also interesting is the people who initially said this case kind of smelled a bit bad that there was something rotten in denmark or in the south side of chicago at the time they were absolutely correct but they were called get this conspiracy theorist you know what's even funnier it was a conspiracy if it turned out to be true and right now i know in other countries the u.k. there are very loath to to jump in and opine they let this system go not here this is a cottage industry this is what we do we opine we have magine as if we don't have the facts we make them up like the mainstream media news do as well it's a bought a narrative the facts and the truth have nothing to do with it get with it what you want take somebody who is an obvious defendant turn him into

a hero make of the statement about homophobia even though the group of amun of the case is based upon falsity fiction law and let's move this one from someone who does a hero and perhaps turns out not to be for someone who went through the reverse experience betrayed is a villain i'm talking about and i was to refer to him but the boy you know talking about he feels wronged suing the washington post for a bit of pocket money what do you make of that one i'm guessing that entertained you too. well that also did it because the way it was happened or the way it happened rather these individuals were thrust into a situation where they had nothing to do with it they were standing in waiting for a bus when the news came in that there was talk of edited tapes and the like they were thrust into this they never insinuated themselves into the story they never became a part of it they were just this young man was just standing there he did literally

nothing about this he didn't say anything he didn't say anything he didn't do anything he didn't comment he didn't lie he didn't buy a new set he didn't have any co-defendants he didn't write a check he did what he started there and as our news is so good that you can just stand there and you will become the subject of a story story and if we don't like what you've said we talk about your smirk but i look at neil he's smirking that smirk we've seen that smirk before the smirk stirred and all of a sudden you're blasted over every form of newton and platform there is as somehow this defiant rude comments you may she is brazen smirk or with your smirk and all of you it's just you're just standing there when that god so we have a one respect you see our mainstream media will create something whether you have

done something or not if you do something in your lie we overlook it if you don't do anything they all lie and create a situation even though you've done nothing but to think two things that i don't regard in the smoking it is guilty as charged i don't know how you could see it with regards to the system you just explained i would have asked what is wrong because i've yet to meet an american who doesn't think that freedom of speech is the most fantastic thing of us you can say pretty much anything you like and yet it's also it seems as i understand it very hard to sell you people for libel for saying but things about you so what needs to change. oh i disagree well the thing is if you make a statement about somebody that is false a false statement a statement of fact not an opinion not your observation but a statement of fact that defames them there are

a variety of different methods and means and causes of action that you can use from libel to slander to intentional infliction of emotional distress and a variety of things so it is there the only problem though is our first amendment protects opinions and it also creates through a particular supreme court case it adds a little burden if you are someone famous much like yourself if you are a public figure and you allege that you were libel because you are not the ordinary joe but you're a public figure you have a little bit of an extra burden you have to prove malice so even they can sue so there is no difficulty in sowing the problem is a lot of the times people what they say is opinion or it's balderdash or it's it's it's it's nonsense they let me just indigenes i read and i remember you were wrong and i meant just just wouldn't want to hurt them or question referred to this my

god boy then do you see these cases as pows perhaps a positive thing for journalism do the mainstream media need to be kept you know on a bit of elation a reminder of the need to because of what they say. well one would think he has a trick it teaches them a lesson but put you don't i'm sorry my dear friend they're not mainstream media they're not new this is a dumpster fire this is pitchforks and torches and screaming and yelling it's not about it's about cliques it's not about truth it's about how many reposes you get did you get any retreats hey your story went viral we have no line between fame and infamy what this is going to do i will bet you anything that in the budgets of certain media organizations they have litigation worked in there because they're talking about it whatever you do like the line from fatal attraction i will

not be ignored and vachss the way it is right now what ever you do don't ignore them call them wrong call them biased call them anything just call them something focus on them because they are in such desperate straits states right now to be relevant we have newsrooms that are being shuttered we have budgets that are cut we've got right now this multiplicity of entertainment platforms so for them to remain viable they've got to get in your face even if it means destroying lives getting the facts wrong because the world wars it doesn't matter as long as you pay attention to them however you do it they're happy. lionel it's been an education as always and indeed a pleasure line legal media analyst great to speak to. the us national security advisor is issued an ominous threat to the leader of the central american country of nicaragua over the recent jailing of opposition

activists john bolton tweeted that president daniel ortega has days are numbered he was reiterating recent remarks by donald trump on ortega bolton issued his warning to the after three prominent figures in last year's antigovernment rights were sentenced the more than two hundred years in prison and rest not in april after the government introduced reforms raised taxes and slashed pensions through the government though the government scrapped the reforms riots in tin you throughout the year and international says three hundred protesters have died because of the government's actions another country has opposition protests triggered us talk of regime change venezuela the us has recognized self-proclaimed interim president one goh i don't and called on the military to abandon venezuela's elected president but that hasn't worked and nicolas maduro continues to accuse washington of attempting to. dress in crowds in miami donald trump earlier used exactly the same language on socialist venezuela claiming its days are also numbered twilight hour.

has arrived and. america will never be a socialist country. and our number or all nations of the world should resist socialism it's always seeking to expand to encroach and to subject others through its well so as a thank you venezuela trump targeted democratic socialists in his own country like twenty twenty presidential candidate bernie sanders a white house statement in sr americans will reject a socialist agenda adding only trunk can keep the country free prosperous and safe however some of traumas policies seem rather reminiscent of socialism. help americans dreads ition from welfare to gainful employment this is becoming more like the soviets like the commies get us deciding who's going to ground wave

is in the administration figuring out how they're going to sprinkle around when it . protection government karajan supplanting involuntary transactions of markets the allocation of wealth an opportunity is socialism for the well connected. dollars somebody is a hypocrite i mean he is i mean he is a devout capitalist capitalists of the of the worst kind you see right now he's banging the war drums to go into comedy the socialist country of venezuela that says you know no doubt you sort of there mineral resources primarily the vast oil

reserves they have more people and it's a good thing more people start to become more educated for a long time the word socialism that the term was was tantamount to the same people you know saw socialism as the devil itself and that was largely based on the large amounts of ignorance that i've been promulgated and spread throughout the united states that people are starting to learn but the masses in this country would benefit immensely from socialism when using often i see that. welcome to worlds apart.
