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

a decision they called russia the biggest threat to the us are over there but i can tell you that russia wants to have an equal and friendly relationship with the united states russia is not threatening anyone with all our actions innocent eulogies we have done solely as a response and so there of a defense of 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 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 that's in contrast to washington's long running efforts to block iran's nuclear program and 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

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 it accuses the trumpeter ministration of bypassing congress on the issue lawmakers also warn the move could destabilize the middle east a number of from the ministration officials are said to have directly been involved in planning the deal. i p three nuclear energy corporation which took part in those negotiations defended the transfer of nuclear information to riyadh claiming it would help counter russia and china saudi arabia's refusal though to rule out if you or any man richmond which could lead to nuclear weapons has sparked fears of

transferring technology iranian foreign minister zarif immediately condemned the leaked news calling the u.s. move hoopla crissy political commentator lou rockwell suspects that the white house has iran in its sights if it really is funneling nuclear technology 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. 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. 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 the european energy firms to resist u.s. pressure to block the project last month washington's and wards of the u. companies to stop building the pipeline. new was more than a torturous it is impossible to specify restrictive measures it would 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. of north stream two was also raised when austria's chancellor met

president trump at the white house it was the first such statement by an austrian leader in thirteen he is the pair though what exactly seeing on two on a speech to all of our explained. the austrian chancellor is given his continued backing for the nord stream to gas pipeline project despite clear up. actions 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 prices 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 hates that old stream to gas line project and doesn't care who knows it in fact they've got as far as to put pressure on e.u. nations and on companies belonging to european countries saying that there could be potential sanctions put on them if they continue to associate with the pipeline the

u.s. argument is that north stream to 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 know one wants to be unilaterally depend. and russia but we receive russian gas not only the d.d.r. where i live but also in west germany during the call 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 hama who runs a german language news that on economics believes the us wants to reduce your of europe's options when it comes to the gas trade. the project is

already set up it is only beneficial for europe and not only for germany and everybody understand this and it only needs there we unite. america alone and yes it's just me we have more possibilities which is exactly where once you want to get rid of their europe there is no other possibility then buying gas from us. us actor just the smaller has been arrested after playing an attack on himself authorities in chicago have charged him for filing a false police report claiming he did it to boost his own career caleb moore print has more 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. 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 the slap everyone in this city in the face by making these photos charles 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 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 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 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 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 the 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. president trump has also weighed in tweeting that small it insulted millions in the market movement with his dangerous comments meanwhile goes in the news for another story again over the student involved in a standoff with a native veteran which went viral just last month the student has followed the lawsuit against the washington post for two hundred fifty million dollars i mean it failed to put the video in context the posting gays and 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 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 the company is looking into the lawsuit and is ready to mount a vigorous defense lawyers for the students family have also sent dozens of letters the celebrities and media companies recipients to preserve records related to the incident right after the original video went viral many public figures weighed into the scandal. named these kids i want names shamed them if you think these wooden dogs you in a heartbeat think again. i blame lead poisoning. i peer into you know yeah i blame what

a little. students from kentucky's 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 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 which attracted the attention of a group of need the americans mr phillips began moving to his right down a line of boys eventually stopping face to face with nick sandman legal and media law and i'll think stories like these reveal a warring trend in the way the us 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 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 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 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 a bought a narrative the facts and the truth have nothing to do with it. britain's biggest weapons contractor be a systems has warned that germany's

a ban on arms sales to saudi arabia could impact a key contract the company looks after the gulf kingdom's fleet of fighter jets which are deployed in riyadh spawning campaign in yemen in this context the position an expert licensing currently ducted by the german government may affect the 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 fini such occurrence and the impact it would have in financial performance the supply chain and relationships would be a systems has several contracts with saudi arabia covering its you're a fighter typhoon and tornado fighter jets the planes feature parts made in germany therefore fall under the ban imposed by berlin and wednesday the german government said its freeze on arms sales to saudi arabia will stay in place the ban was introduced in november after the murder of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi

sewing a visit to burden the british foreign secretary jeremy hunt tried to persuade his german counterpart to lift the ban on successfully. when i talk to hiker moss 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. it wouldn't be impossible 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 news 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. or the british government however is still trying to persuade germany to change its mind extremely close ties to the british arms make a holding more than a thousand meetings would be a just in the past decade problem is that the reason mays husband works for

a company which is the largest shareholder in b.a. andrew smith of the campaign against arms trade believes that 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 saudi dictatorship and from the u.k. and france who also produce parts of the u. fater 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 in 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. and members of venezuela's opposition are

gathering on the country's border with colombia trying to force through deliveries of u.s. aid the madeira governments ordered the military to block the convoys calling them a pretext for an american military intervention in early february caracas barricaded a keyboard a bridge with colombia on thursday president maduro and outs the total closure of the border with brazil as well as self-proclaimed leader one go door has set a deadline of saturday for the trucks to be allowed through though it's unclear what exactly measures he could take to let the vehicles into the country speaking on wednesday in us republican senator marco rubio issued a stern warning for president maduro. the venezuelan opposition are well aware of the risks they run to their personal safety but undertaking this but if you put yourself in their position they really have no alternative the world will see what you're dealing with here if the aid arrives it will expose that the emperor has no clothes and at that point you could see a cascade effect marco rubio and mark green for the usa i.

did just another. show that they're very serious about. obligation there and you know so i would say there were and razors and we've got them swell right now we don't see starvation going on we're going to what is motivating the united states i think that this is a provocation that aims are bringing about regime change the real objective is to divide the country with the military or other weapons in the ocean we don't know but we do know all of this. all of the international aid organizations were to every single one of them including those that have worked very closely with the united states government in the past are refusing to work with the united states government in the delivery of this shipments ahead of a deadline for venezuela an envoy representing the country's self-proclaimed leader one going door has been confronted in washington on antiwar activist carlos vecchio

was giving a speech on thursday when the disruption happened i think it's a dangerous game that the opposition is playing they really are trying to create a confrontation if it was about humanitarian aid they could have used the u.n. agencies and certainly there are lots of other ways to get humanitarian aid into venezuela they are doing this purposely on the borders because they want to see a confrontation they want the. government to respond with violence so they can show the whole world and use that as a pretext to start the next phase of this which would be a military one so i think it really is the opposition that is playing this very dangerous game and using the aid as a. proxy in their playbook.

in other headlines corporate giants including coca-cola nestle pulling their ads from you tube after the discovery that paedophiles have been exploiting the video sharing site and my colleague andrew farmer discussed the issue with the trunk. we are all more than just used to these pretty well 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 own nestlé companies in the u.s. have post advertising on you tube we have paws still pretty role 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 hypo peter some of these to seemingly innocuous new move very basic video you seem to be getting the very popular on they just give us an indication of how many people do watch them in some cases these kind of videos have been viewed by millions of people and as you've said the. 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 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 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 if 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 lawyer and believes the company should care more about the wellbeing of children rather than its profits. problem really is the fog that google hasn't gotten any policy is addressing the usage of few

chub by children so they mean with age according to google the meaning age for using mutual be thirteen however google knows very well that many of its users are under thirteen they are two three five ten years old kids these kids end up having to be exposed to all sorts of content on you tube platforms for example there i would be exposed to pornography they might be alert on the internet by adults and they might be exposed themselves to all sorts of terrible comments by adults so i think that full quite a while i there i do ties chose to turn a blind eye or the other times it had not been aware of the fire did google is good absolutely no policy whatsoever that this aim to save god in young children and there is the headlines for the south just coming up to five thirty am here in moscow thanks for staying with us on our international saving thirty five minutes
