president putin says russia is ready to respond to threats with its new hypersonic missile system while stressing that it's a defensive weapon. with reaction. to threaten to retaliate by targeting western capitals with his own new weapons but a confrontational step quite a confrontational speech crusher is not for me anyway. as a response to the. nature of. the democratic controlled committee questions u.s. ties with saudi arabia after the report reveals washington's ready to transfer sensitive nuclear technology to riyadh. publicly

defies donald trump on the north stream to project with russia after heated talks in the white house. from moscow on daniel hawkins revenue joining us on the program this hour about to be a putin has warned that moscow's ready to deploy its new hypersonic missile to counter potential threats though the russian president stressed the new weapon would only be used in self-defense. 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 during his annual state of the

nation address president putin announce that vehicle new hypersonic cruise missile that can be deployed from both land and sea will undergo testing later this year r.t.c. goes down of has 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 knew another little damsel product to work on which is on when you will certainly be completed on schedule namely i would like to talk about the comm hypersonic missile i'm going to do 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 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. day and fall apart and not a single shot will be fired huge and the word when you lonely it will lose a sure they call russia the biggest threat to the us around with them but i can tell you that russia wants to have an equal and friendly relationship with the united states in your position issue is not threatening anyone at all our actions and done 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. the construction of the nord stream to gas pipeline from russia to europe is again in the spotlight russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has called on european energy firms to resist u.s. pressure to block the project last month washington's envoy to berlin urged the e.u. companies to stop building the pipeline knew was more torture shit is impossible to specify restrictive measures he 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. or subject of north stream to was also raised when austria's chancellor met president trumbo at the white house it was the first such state visit by an

austrian leader in thirteen years the pair though what exactly seeing eye to eye a piece all over reports. 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 better 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

u.s. argument is that north stream two leaves the e.u. energy infrastructure overly reliant on russian gas and that could potentially be used as a political tool by moscow well 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 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. upand damage its relationship with russia over the pipeline the flag of the uk that no one wants to be unilaterally dependent on russia but will receive russian gas not only the d.d.r. where i live but also in west germany during the cold war 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 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. harmer who runs a german language newsletter on economics believes the us wants to reduce europe's options when it comes to the gas trade. the project is already

said it is only beneficial for europe and not only for germany and everybody i understand it is there we united by their american led yes. we have more of the. this is exactly were a once do we want to get out there europe no other possibility then by i guess from us. the u.s. house of representatives has released the report indicating that the white house may be planning to transfer sensitive nuclear power technology to saudi arabia as in contrast to washington's long running efforts to block iran's nuclear program and their crap lead 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

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 trumpeter ministration of bypassing congress on the issue lawmakers warn the move could destabilize the middle east a number of trumpet ministration officials are said to have been directly involved in planning the deal. now the ip three nuclear energy corporation which took part in the negotiations defended the transfer of nuclear information to read i mean it would help counter russia and china who have a saudi arabia's refusal to rule out you a name in richmond which could lead to nuclear weapons has sparked fears of transferring technology. and rein in foreign minister java to saudi for mediately

condemned to leak news calling the u.s. move crissy political commentator lou rockwell suspects that the white house has iran in its sights if it really is funneling nuclear technology to saudi arabia. the way 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 to. call for the joints including coca-cola nestlé and will disney up pulling their ads from you tube after the discovery that paedophiles have been exploiting the video sharing site my colleague andrew farmer discussed the issue with the trunk of. 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 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 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 how 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 let's say italian car manufacturers to beauty johns like l'oreal or maybelline find their ads. allude 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 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. social media law cohen believes the company should care more about the wellbeing of

children and its revenues. problem really is this. google hasn't gotten any policies addressing the usage of few chub by children so the minimum age according to google to me were age four using you should be thirteen however google knows very well that many of its users are under thirteen there are two three five ten years old kids these kids end up having to be exposed to all sorts of content on youtube or platforms for example there are be exposed to pornography they might be learned on the internet by adults and they might be exposed themselves to all sorts of terrible comments by adults so i think that fall quite a while either i do ties or chose to turn a blind eye all the other times it not being aware of defy that google is good

absolutely no policy whatsoever that this aim to save god in young children. in the u.s. national security advisor has issued an ominous threat to the leader of nicaragua over the recent jailing of opposition activists john bolton tweeted president daniel ortega days are numbered bolton issued his warning to nicaragua after three prominent thinkers in last year's anti-government riots were sentenced to more than two hundred years in prison unrest started in april after the government introduced reforms raising taxes and slashing pensions the government scrapped the reforms but the riots continued throughout that year resulting in a deaths of at least three hundred protesters. another country whose opposition protests have triggered us talk of regime change is venezuela the u.s. has recognized self-proclaimed interim president one way door and called on the military to abandon venezuela's elected president so far that hasn't worked and nicolas maduro continues to accuse washington of attempting to bring about

a coup speaking at a rally in florida donald trump earlier use the same language referring to left wing governments in south america. the twilight hour. has arrived in our sphere 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 well. as well as attacking when his way or trump also targeted democratic socialists in his own country including twenty twenty presidential candidate bernie sanders nevertheless some of trump's own policies seem rather open a sense of socialism. action

will help americans stretch from welfare to gainful employment this is becoming more and more like a soviet type of economy is deciding who is going to be granted a wave is coming in the administration figuring out how they're going to sprinkle around. this will be a big week for infrastructure after so stupidly spending seven trillion dollars in the middle east it is now time to start investing in our country. protectionism government courage and supplanting the well into every transactions of markets the allocation of wealth and opportunity is socialism for the well connected. dollars somebody is a hypocrite i mean he he is i mean he is a devout travelers. of the worst kind you see right now he's playing in the war

drums to go into predominately socialist country venezuela you know no doubt you sort of there mineral resources primarily the oil reserves they have more people and it's a good thing more people are starting to become more educated for a long time the word socialism that the term was was tantamount to to say 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. salberg and sondra bruno analyst that long letter from or on the story as andrea thanks for joining us as we heard in that clip some republicans accusing president trump of spending too much on benefits too much on infrastructure adopting apparently protectionist trade policies even comparing that to socialism how much truth is there in that do you think. well i don't

see trump sinking the international any time soon and he's not forty or pressed whatever trump did adopt some socialist sounding talk during the two thousand and sixteen election borrowing from bernie sanders. in fact at some point i myself started thinking that he was sounding a lot more like sanders and say hillary clinton was who was from the same party so from that point of view. yes socialism i don't know but protectionism yes that's the only thing where he can be accused of using some of the policies of countries that call themselves socialists during the cold war period so he's been for example a lot of welfare for the rich however thought socialism for the rich not for the whole country. as an example was on has not paid. taxes in the past two

years despite having huge profits. eleven billion dollars i believe the last number so. the tax policies. not bringing any benefits of the kind that socialist countries do where corporations are heavily taxed and then those funds are used for all kinds of internal spending from infrastructure to social services like medical care and united states there is no and there is no official medical care assistance there is there are some payments but. you have to get a private insurance. so that's hardly a socialist yet when we hear u.s. politicians criticize and threaten socialism in south america particular cuba venezuela nicaragua more recently as well is this really about right left wing

ideology or is this really about geopolitics and spheres of influence. i think this is much more about geopolitics and both the democrats and the republicans have proven themselves to be very interventionist. and in fact you might say that the democrats right now are more the party of war than the republicans the new generation of. social so called social democrats emerging in the democratic party are changing to. geo political intervention only partly i haven't heard too many words against intervention and declaring. the president of venezuela from the democratic party right now so i'm going to fall short of calling them socialists nevertheless i think trump is definitely more than

invading venezuela or using. launching some kind of military intervention i think the real use of venezuela is to drum up support for the republicans and for his presidency in two thousand and twenty by showing the evils and dangers of socialism so he's going to compare the new way democrats like alexander cortez to the socialists in venezuela or and in cuba. i think that is the what is really happening now with his rhetoric. and they're going to keep this up probably intensify it as the next election approaches . ok alessandro brewer analyst at long body lots of thanks for joining us here on r.t. good to get your take today on that story thank you. for the south join us again in twenty five minutes for the latest global news updates watching

from brussels outside the european commission headquarters there is a common conceit in the united kingdom all the prime minister has to do is somehow cobble together a steady parliamentary but shot at the in favor of a some sort of deal to exit the european union and then everything will be hunky dory and fight even though she manages that that's only half the battle because that deal would have to be agreed with this institution behind us with the chief negotiator michel barnier representing the twenty seven member states of the unit been union apart from britain and thus far over the last two years michel bunny has been running rings round u.k. negotiators he is to clear the objectives one is to make sure that whatever deal is

done with the u.k. it's not as good as that for any member state that is crucially important and follows to them not to be encouraged to also leave the club and secondly the european commission will stay if it were violent there is flags flying here today because at least he is inside that building opposite bob the irish are in with the bricks in europe and europe will stick with the irish so michel barnier will represent that interest is going to be a tough task for the prime minister thus far says don't build up to it we'll see what happens and today in the alec simon show we present some home for some europe what do the c. of think of the brakes that black and white of europeans think as the u.k. negotiator stumble from one expedient to another the first i want to toss back in the studio three a preacher e-mails and your messages thank you alex last week we

you compress and bricks of supporters the space to speak more than send by it's well done thanks to him however he says i'm surprised when they start speaking about delivering the bricks that the british people wanted and voted for except for the will of the people and all the system under five alex doesn't come to the question of course tim wanted alex ask about scotland and i've got news for you to because the next week sure we're going to be looking at scotland's place in europe you can look forward to that now listen to the votes that took place in palm last week jim excess carbon the great sustain a once again through scotland under the bus to d. not happy is jim and guy says how could an actual political party be entirely focused on bricks and he of course is a friend to the new brics a party at the former ukip members are launching will they publish or manifested to include education to fence economy health etc. brian says seventeen million to sixteen million are you keep trying to say everyone wants it can score two spoke last on some of the detail says that it is a break it's

a friendship between treated by w. to your standards and the w.t. you would feel w.t.r. rejected your kids attempts to get a deal and in the last twenty years britain had gone from leaving it up into the single market to leaving the e.u. altogether covering all the twists and turns of our story and often from our north of england perspective has been marking bikes out of cup with them in brussels for an insight into the inside story of these last hope event dick or martin bias the few u.k. journalists more experienced in the ways of the brussels politicking than yourself with what's like twenty years you've been analyzing and reporting from from this capital that you were think when you started off as a european correspondent for via three of newspapers the that is to get to a position where you are commenting on this all along process of the u.k. withdrawing from european union altogether well i came from a background of working on mostly regional papers.
