alex simon sure i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics or. i'm sure business i'll see you there. but i'm a putin warns russia's ready to respond to threats with this new hypersonic missile system stressing that it's purely a defensive weapon and the statement certainly prompted reaction. threatened to retaliate by targeting western capitals with his own new weapon quite a confrontational step quite a confrontational speech to russia is not for me anyway all our actions and. as a response to the defense of the nature of. a democratic controlled committees questioning the nature of u.s. saudi ties after a new report reveals washington is poised to transfer sensitive nuclear technology to riyadh as the white house grounds nuclear ambitions as a global threat. austria's leader publicly defies donald trump on russia's nord

stream to pipeline after heated talks in the white house. this. international. move putin has warned that moscow is ready to target perceived threats with its latest hypersonic although the russian president stressed that the new weapon is meant for defensive purposes to threaten 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 u.s. bases intermediate range missiles in europe for quite a confrontational step quite a confrontational speech by the russian president during his annual state of the nation address president putin announced that. new hypersonic cruise missile that

can be deployed from both land and sea will undergo testing later this year as more . 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 room vonzell product to work on which is ongoing you certainly be completed on schedule namely i would like to talk about the comm hypersonic missile good i'm going to get you and that's a big enough trigger to get everything from the tabloids to serious outlets hitting 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 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 and the word huge when you lonely decision called russia the biggest threat to the us are over but i can tell you that russia wants to have an equal and friendly relationship with the united states russia is not threatening anyone our actions in the security guard solely as a response and the river defenses nature of. 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 formants the circular for office called on european business partners to resist u.s. pressure to block the project last month washington's envoy to berlin warned d.-u. companies to stop building the bible on new 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 the subject of the north stream pipeline was also race when austria chancellor met president trump at the white house is the first such state visit by an austrian leader for thirteen years but the pearl weren't exactly seeing eye to eye peter oliver has more. 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 breath of 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 hate 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 well that prompted the u.s. ambassador here in germany richard grinnell 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 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 up that you no one wanted to be unilaterally dependent on russia but will receive russian gas not only the d.d.r. where i live but i assume west germany during the cold and they don't see why the times today should be so much verse that we can no longer see russia remains apart now whatever the feelings of the united states the gas is stet 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 i karma who runs a german language newsletter on economics believes that the us wants to reduce europe's options when it comes to gas trade the project is already said it is only beneficial for europe and not only for germany and everybody understand this and i don't need no united by their american energy

yes it's just me we have more possibilities this is exactly were a once too world to get rid of their europe there is no other possibility then i guess from the us. 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 timid 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 the report raises concerns over potential violations of the nuclear nonproliferation act the document also points at the trumpet ministrations efforts to bypass congress on the issue law makes an ounce of representatives warn the move could destabilize the middle east a number of trump senior officials are said to have been directly involved in planning the deal. the i p three nuclear energy corporation which took part in a go she defended providing nuclear information to riyadh claiming it would help defeat russia and china in the field saudi arabia's refusal to rule out enrichment which could lead to nuclear weapons sparked fears of transferring technology in the past iranian foreign minister javad zarif immediately condemned the link news calling the u.s. move hypocrisy with a commentator lou rockwell suspects that the white house has iran in its sights if it really is funneling nuclear tech to the saudis. they were

a day it becomes clearer to the world would was only ways 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 mohammed 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. 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 i'm 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 get this

information to congress. us and to justice 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 curia caleb maupin has these us 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 floating 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. how could someone look at the hatred and suffering associated with as symbol 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 a slap everyone in this city in the face by making these false charge claims the report was filed on january twenty ninth a small let claims 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 mag 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 those individuals were released now in the initial aftermath of the incident there was a huge outpouring of support for just the small left all across the social media was on 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 in just the small it is a hate crime it's absurd. isn't 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 heartbroken and furious reading about the attack on juicy small ads 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 are 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 ministration 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 it 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 and today president trump also weighed in tweeting smell that insulted

millions in the maghreb movement with these dangerous cold months a mugger's 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 the students now filed a lawsuit against the washington post for two hundred fifty million dollars claiming it failed to put the video in context the posting gauge in the modern day form of mccarthyism by competing with c.n.n. and n.b.c. among others to claim leadership of the 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 his well known and easily documented biased agenda against president don't move jay trump by impugning individuals perceived to be supporters of the president or spokesperson for the washington post said the company was now looking over the lawsuit and she also 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 and media companies urging the recipients to preserve records relating to the incident right after the original video went viral and many prominent people slums the behavior seen. name these kids i want to name them if you think these wooden dogs you in a heartbeat think again. blame would poison me. parents you know yeah i blame. what our little. students from kentucky is boycotting 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 lights 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 the chant attracted the attention of a group of need to america and mr phillips began moving to his right down

a line of boys eventually stopping face to face with nick sandman bigler media analyst lionel thinks all of us stories expose the modern us media narrative 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 laud to medicine to history and we always love to figure out what happened and what's also interesting is the people who initially said this case kind of smelled a bit bad that there was something or 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 conspicuous if it turned out to be true and right now i know in other countries the u.k. they're very loath to to jump in and opine they let this system go nod here this is a cottage industry this is what we do we opine we have imagined 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 synthetic truth what a country our mainstream media will create something where the you have done something or not if you do something in your lie we overlook it if you don't do anything. i am creating a situation even though you've done nothing. britain's biggest weapons con trying to be a systems as warm germany's ban on arms of the saudi arabia could impact a key maintenance contract the company looks after the gulf kingdom's fleet of

german counterpart to lift the ban but failed to hike a mass what i say is that the strategic relationship that the u.k. has with saudi arabia is what allows us to have a huge influence in bringing about peace in yemen in fact i would go as far as to say that without that strategic relationship. would have been possible to proceed with the stockholm agreement which is the first ray of hope although others. extremely important in making that happen as well we hope to remember this week your the position of the german government is that we're not currently delivering weapons to saudi arabia and future decisions on this will depend on developments in the yemen conflict. but the british government continues its efforts the pressure germany to change its mind westminster has extremely close ties to the british arms maker holding more than a thousand meetings with just over a decade prime minister to reserve base husband works for a company that the largest shareholder in b. and b.

smith of the campaign against arms trade believes that the pressure on germany will only increase from and will be coming under a lot of international pressure from all of the major arms companies in germany but also from the saudi dictatorship and from the u.k. and france who also produce parts of the unified projects which german components are used in because the arms industry is a global industry companies from across the world work with each other hand in hand and hand hand and glove with one another to produce these weapons a german government is doing very well to stick to its word i mean these arms still should never have in the first place germany should not have been arming the sage's regime but if they took precedence by ending the arms sales and it's a precedent which a lot of other countries can learn from. corporate giants including coca-cola nestlé walt disney pulling their ads from you after the discovery that paedophiles

have been exploiting the video sharing site my colleague andrew farmer discussed the issue with. we are all more than just used to these pretty it's all these someone annoy me as 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. 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 have paws still pretty rural advertising through our advertising agency we have reached out to google and youtube to determine action still 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 hype 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 that more views the video scores the more expensive the ads get so all kinds of companies from let's say italian car

manufacturers to beauty johns like l'oreal or maybelline find their ads glued to these controversial videos and other you tube algorithms are really making things worse because paedophiles can easily get carried away with scores of where commendations from you tube of similar video so there's something like a snowball effect with this so if you actually been yo girl it may give you additional words. like little or hot and so on. it's obviously a growing problem now isn't a few cheap what if they said they are 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 a gets posted that endangers minors and that includes comments but the trends that i have told you about show that there's a lot of work to be done there are still plenty of shady areas that have not been covered so youtube may have to rethink the ways they actually deal with this social media lawyer cohen believes the company should care more about the wellbeing of children not its revenues. those. are very. differentiated between. care going to young people you know. they are. making money. they are young using it.

democratic socialists in his own country like twenty twenty presidential candidate bernie sanders white house statement insisted americans will reject a socialist agenda only trump can keep the country free prosperous and safe converse with some of trump's policies while they seem rather reminiscent of socialism. help americans dreads ition from welfare to gainful employment. this is becoming more like the soviets like the commies deciding who's going to grant a waiver is in the administration figuring out how they're going to sprinkle around when it's. this will be a big week for infrastructure have to so stupidly spending seven trillion dollars

amounts of ignorance that i've been promulgated in and spread throughout the united states that people are starting to learn but the masses in this country would benefit immensely from socialism that wrap things up for this news out of me in half an hour for the latest. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the multiple different clubs on one hand it is logical to sit in the home field where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective from i'm used to surprising people and i saw why not if you think. i'm going to talk about football not for you or else you can think i was going to do.
