4:03 pm
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 to. use a sure called 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 united russia is not threatening anyone or action from the security done solely as a response and the river defenses nature of. moscow says it won't throw the first
4:04 pm
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 the north stream to gas pipeline from russia to europe is again in the spotlight russian foreign minister sergey lavrov has called on european energy firms to resist u.s. pressure to block the project last month washington then board of berlin urged the e.u. companies to stop building the pipeline. new was more than a torch 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. the subject of stream two was also raised when austria's chancellor with president trump at the white house it was the first such state visit by an austrian
4:05 pm
leader for thirteen years and the per didn't exactly see eye to eye peter oliver explains. the austrian chancellor has given his continued backing for the nord 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 is prices both 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 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
4:06 pm
u.s. argument is that north stream too leaves the e.u. energy infrastructure overly reliant on russian gas and 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 lever. 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
4:07 pm
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 know one wants to be unilaterally dependent and russia does not receive russian gas not only the d.d.r. where i live but i assume west germany during the cold in the end they don't see why the times today should be so much birth 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 could harm or who runs a german language newsletter on economics believes that the us wants to reduce europe's options when it comes to the gas trade. the project is
4:08 pm
already set it is only beneficial for europe and not only for germany and everybody was there and it out there we you know by their american oh yes it's just me we have more of the images exactly were ones to want to get out there no other possibility then i guess from 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's in contrast the washington long running efforts to block iran's nuclear program a democrat led committee has now launched an investigation. within the united states strong private commercial interests have been pressing aggressively for the transfer of highly sensitive nuclear technology to saudi arabia
4:09 pm
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 u.s. nuclear nonproliferation act and accuses the trumper ministration of bypassing congress on the issue and lawmakers warn the moves could destabilize the middle east and ember of trump administration officials are said to be directly involved in planning the deal. the i p three nuclear energy corporation that took part in the gauche ations defended the transfer of nuclear information to riyadh claiming it would help counter russia and china saudi arabia's refusal to rule out iranian enrichment which could lead to nuclear weapons has sparked fears of transferring technology. runs foreign minister javad zarif immediately condemned
4:10 pm
the leaked news calling the u.s. move hypocrisy its cool calm and italy rockwell suspects the white house has iran in its sights it really is funneling nuclear tech to the saudis. they were a 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 mohammad 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
4:11 pm
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 gave this information to congress. us acted just recently that has been arrested after claims he staged an attack on himself authorities in chicago challenged him for filing a false police report claiming he did it to boost his own career it had more than explains. 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
4:12 pm
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 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 the slap everyone in this city in the face by making these phones charged 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
4:13 pm
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 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. isn't and it really fired i think this is how you have to be fired ailes impossible 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 burn in how homophobia existed before
4:14 pm
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 ministration for the incident linking it to donald trump however now that the facts seem to have come out now that small light 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
4:15 pm
according to what the police are saying so we'll be following up with more information. present time so so weighed in tweeting the smell in sochi to millions in the movement with these dangerous comments in the meantime my guess been in the news for another story over the student involved in a standoff with a native veteran it went viral last month the student in the videos filed a lawsuit against the washington post is aiming for two hundred fifty million dollars claiming that it failed to put the video in context. the posting gays 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 and threatened nicholas soundman 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
4:16 pm
j. trump by impugning individuals perceived to be supporters of the president a spokesperson for the washington post the so that the company is looking into the lawsuit and is ready to mount a vigorous defense lawyers for the students family have sent dozens of letters to celebrities and media companies urging recipients to preserve records relating to the incident right after the original video went viral many public figures way to. 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 heretic you know me i blame. what a little. students from kentucky is our 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 lights after
4:17 pm
nearly an hour of enduring the verbal attack the boys asked the chaperone if they could perform one of their pep rally chance to drown out the hate group which attracted the attention of a group of native americans mr phillips began moving to his right down a line of boys eventually stopping face to face with nick sandman. legal and media analyst lionel think stories like these reveal a worrying trend in the way the u.s. media works. 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 of kind of us of story line on the mainstream media how they don't let the facts get in the way of a story our mainstream media will create something where they have done something or not if you do something in your lie we overlook it if you don't do anything they
4:18 pm
all lie and create a situation even though you've done nothing 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 it's about a narrative the facts and the truth have nothing to do with it. biggest weapons contract to be a systems as will the germany's ban on arms says the saudi arabia could impact a key contract becomes the looks after the gulf kingdoms free to find suggests which is deployed in riyadh bombing campaign in yemen. in this context the position of expert licensing currently ducted by the german government may affect the
4:19 pm
group's ability to provide the required capability to the kingdom be a east systems is working closely with the government to minimize the risk of freeney such occurrence and the impact it would have in financial performance the supply chain and relationships will be a systems are several contracts of saudi arabia covering its you're a fighter typhoon and tornado fighter jets the planes feature parts made in germany and therefore fall under the ban imposed by berlin on wednesday the german government said this freeze on arms sales to saudi arabia will stay in place the ban was introduced in november after the murder of the saudi journalist to marcus shoji during a visit to berlin the british foreign secretary jeremy hunt tried to persuade his german counterpart to lift that ban but failed when i talked to a hiker 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
4:20 pm
say that without that strategic relationship. it wouldn't have been possible to proceed with the stockholm agreement which is the first ray of hope although others were extremely important in making that happen as well we hope to remember this with your views do you 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. the british government still trying to persuade germany to change its mind with mr has extremely close ties to the british arms maker all the more than a thousand meetings with b. in the past decade from insta to resume a husband works for a company which is the largest shareholder in b a andrew smith of the campaign against arms trade believes the pressure on germany will only increase. well the german government will be coming under a lot of international pressure from all of the major arms companies in germany but also from the sody dictatorship and from the u.k.
4:21 pm
and france who also produce parts of the your fate or jets 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 hundred glove with one another to produce these weapons with german government is doing very well to stick to its word i mean these arms still should never have been allowed in the first place germany should not have been arming the safety regime but has set a vital 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 and walt disney pulling their ads from you tube after the discovery paedophiles have been exploiting the video sharing site my colleague andrew farmer discussed the issue with r.t. they are trying. we are all more than just used to these pretty or all ads it's all these someone annoy me to you 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
4:22 pm
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 poss still pretty rural 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
4:23 pm
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 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 or commendations
4:24 pm
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
4:25 pm
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. social media lawyer yeah cohen believes that the company should care more about the well being of children and its revenues. well there you are not me ali you need. those out they are very young. but i need you know they are not just the problem. it creates you differentiate between their care we're going to be young people you know. they are you know. make money in reality they are young you going to be using you. so. young you will be wearing dark by having. a

4:27 pm
to abandon violence well as elected president so far that hasn't worked and nicolas maduro continues to accuse washington of attempting to bring about a kid. speaking at a rally in florida donald trump earlier used the same language referring to left wing governments in south america. the twilight hour of socialism has arrived in our hemisphere america will never be a socialist country the days of socialism and communism are numbered all nations of the world should resist socialism is always seeking to expand to encroach and to serve others through its will. as well as attacking venezuela trump also targeted democratic socialists in his own country including the twenty twenty presidential candidate bernie sanders on the left some of trump's own policies seem rather reminiscent of socialism.

i have. interviewed. former. founder and director of complex forms. we will discuss the americas you know. for the. last straw ten years ago or. so what's called deep globalization i'm sure they caused it but that's what's going on along with the dollar as a. tourist is it like figure skating cause it should travel sideways at a specific angle and at no less than one hundred kilometers per hour drive this rivals coldness at the same time the cars must follow the same kids. this place to stay.
