concerns minds in the u.k. that it won't be able to honor its arms contracts with saudi arabia as germany refuses to lift a ban on supplying certain component parts to the gulf kingdom. keys to faking a hate crime against himself because the smell let's claim that he was assaulted by supporters had led to an outpouring of sympathy and support and anger at the president for supposedly raising tensions venezuela's opposition leader to fire ban on u.s. state is being stockpiled at mit border is promising to get a live range into the country by saturday with clashes already breaking act over

the attempts. are you watching r.t. international is just gone five pm here in moscow now britain is concerned by german ban on selling arms to saudi arabia the u.k. now if it is that its main arms manufacturer be a huge systems may no longer be able to fill contracts with the saudis as it relies on components made in germany these contracts are worth a lot of money britain is the second biggest seller to saudi arabia after the us over four billion dollars worth of weapons have been sold by the way to riyadh since march of twenty fifteen. as more. the u.k. is not impressed with germany's decision to stop selling weapons. the arabia i'm

very concerned about the impact of the german government's decision on the british and european defense industry and the consequences for europe's ability to fulfill its need to commitments up until recently last november to be precise germany did sell weapons to saudi arabia but then this happened because shorty has been tortured beaten tortured killed and then dismembered because shogi was murdered in the saudi consulate it was looted to his death and this didn't help either. south africa markel did this firstly were outraged by this case i agree with all those who say that arms experts which are already limited must not take place in

a current circumstances on its own germany really provides about two percent of the total arms purchased by saudi arabia that's a drop in the ocean but crucially germany also makes components that are essential to other countries' arms exports for example british arms. it has a contract to provide riyadh with forty eight new fighter jets but germany's refusal to make cars that are destined for saudi arabia is affecting be a ability to deliver those planes to riyadh on time the issue of german licenses is a political issue and as such requires it to be resolved at a political level to that and we're working closely with the u.k. government that could explain why the u.k. government has been trying to get in to change its mind. and at first glance be

a looks like your normal footsie one hundred multinational but you don't become the largest defense contractor you're up without a few friends in high places at one point this is how the former foreign secretary describe their relationship the chairman of be a appear to have the key to the golden door to number ten certainly i never knew number ten to come up with any decision we should be incommoded to be but that was ten years ago although some things never change philip may the husband of u.k. prime minister to resign works for a company that's the largest shareholder in be eighty systems we try and provide our people our government our allies with the very best weapons the very best sticks they can have to encourage peace sound familiar that 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 but so far talk of bombing peace

into yemen isn't changing the germans minds behind to go ballistic you'll miss 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 one illustration of just how close it would be aid to the government if this is advertising that in the west means that you face and reminding the hundreds of that leave your last day from parliament every single day of the fourth of the u.k. defense industry. riyadh does nice say it is investigating the latest reports of civilian casualties during the conflict in yemen and straight activists thinks though that the u.k. should be coming to the defense of yemen civilians not british companies. i think when it comes to germany hunt's column completely inappropriate he's meant to be

a statesman and he's not meant to be using his position to lobby for british arms trade interests i mean really the belief systems have. power of the old amount of access to government clerk short she was a government minister under bush used to say that she felt that systems have the key to the guardian good and number two how do you really have an earl unique level of your law being an access to ministers and that frankly undermines our democracy in the u.k. what we see time and time again germany hans comments are just the latest example is the british government lobbying for the interests of systems not the interests of beer of the british people and not certainly not the interests of people in yemen who are suffering because of weapons being systems are making. our us actor charged with staging a hate crime against himself has been released on bail just

a small lead heard claim that he was assaulted by two men with one of them shouting this is maggie country mega being the acronym for donald trump slogan make america great again authorities in chicago have charged with filing a false police report claiming his motive was to enhance his own career police say the actor wrote a check for three and a half thousand dollars to two men to stage the attack he's also said to fabricated a hate letter to himself so well it's legal teams calling the situation an organized spectacle not his kind of walk and as more story. just the small lead story seems to be falling to pieces small letterhead claimed he was the victim of a hate crime to merely grab him poured bleach on him put a noose around his neck called him anti gay and anti black slurs and told him this is mega country mager being short for make america great again doll trumps slogan. two men were later arrested by the police and then released and now small what is

the one in handcuffs he is charged with for loneliness disorderly conduct for making a false police report why would anyone especially an african-american man use the symbolism of a noose to make false accusations in the immediate aftermath of the incident there was an outpouring of love and sympathy for a small way 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 like really tired out. this is how you have to be five bills and possible to not feel this way right now with yeah president and the vice president mike pence who like wishes i couldn't be merry if let's just be clear heartbroken and furious reading about the attack on just the small it's i won't trump and. six to burn in hell 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. saying that even though the incident may have been staged it still started a conversation and that it's important i've been vocal about the situation and my love for just c. and his entire family i will continue to hope for the best for everyone volved things continue to unfold what's miller did was wrong but the big problem isn't the point two percent which are hoaxes is the hate crimes which have risen to twenty percent since trump took office trump spoke up on twitter saying that millions of his supporters were needlessly slandered. just the small minutes what about my good and tens of millions of people you insults it was you were racist and dangerous comments people are drawing parallels with a similar case we had a group of catholic high school boys who were shown in a video purportedly insulting and disrespecting an elderly native american veteran it is disturbing students mocking a native american man and some of them harassing and jeering at

a native american disturbing viral video however media revealed that there was actually quite a bit more to the story than this short snapshot and at this point the boy is suing the washington post saying that his reputation has been destroyed however the washington post says it's prepared to give a vigorous defense we are reviewing a copy of the lawsuit and we plan to mount a vigorous defense may have introduced the term but it seems that fake news has never been more real kaleb oppen r.t. new york illegal media analysts line into this thing that stories like this one do reveal a disturbing trend 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 a 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 whether you have done something or not if you do something and you lie we overlook it if you don't do anything. i am create a situation even though you've done nothing we don't have the facts. we make them up like the mainstream media news do as well it's a narrative that facts and the truth have nothing to do with it get with it what you want take somebody who is an obvious defend it turn him into a hero make of the statement about homophobia even though the growth of a human of the case is based upon falsity fiction synthetics truth what a country. i mean while the us president has praised five g. and even nonexistent six g. wireless technology in a tweet and called for it to be developed in america it does come after months of

white house pressure on chinese communications firm way over alleged spying capabilities i want five june even sixty technology in the united states as soon as possible it's far more powerful firestone and smarter than the current standard i want the united states to win through competition not by block you know it's currently more advanced technologies but a presidential memorandum dating back to october did state that it is imperative that the u.s. becomes the global leader in five g. technologies just a couple months later to the u.s. then started piling the pressure on huawei saying it is posed it has posed a threat to national security the chinese tech giant rejects u.s. claims though that its products are used by beijing for spying in december chief financial officer was then arrested in canada on washington's request the white house is also working international allies to ban huawei from their five g. networks while under pressure strayer new zealand and japan have already brought in

restrictions against the firm but a growing chorus of countries including france and u.k. are challenging the u.s. on this very point always found a meanwhile does say that he's actually grateful to washington for helping to make more people aware of its products. first of all i would like to thank them because they are great figures five g. was not known by common people but now these great figures are all talking about five g. and we're becoming more influential in getting more contrarily up to now the u.s. is just panicked about the technological advancements of china i mean what's really been happening over the last ten years is the u.s. has in fact fallen behind many parts of the rest of the world technologically and the attack on our way is just evidence of a kind of a panic there figure it's interesting that this comes at the same time as

a little bit of reduced pressure on the u.s. trying to trade talks it's very possible we're going to we're going to see an agreement. that donald trump has branded bernie sanders crazy hafter the seventy seven year old announced his bid for the twenty twenty presidential race from paul so his own supporters to make sure that they didn't dig deeper into their wallets than fans of sanders. crazy bernie has just entered the race i wish him well what's crazy is that we have a president who is a racist a sick sister xenophobe and a fraud socialist bernie sanders raced six million in twenty four hours now i'm calling on you to crush that number he's scared and he should be help us send trump a message in a language he's sure to understand make a ten dollar donation to our campaign to do. well trump has made a point of taking

a swipe at socialism although some people do say now that his policies are actually resemble what he's attacking. america will never be a socialist country. action will help americans stretch from welfare to gainful employment this is becoming more and more like a soviet type of the condo me here is deciding who is going to be granted wave is the most hours in the administration figuring out how they going to sprinkle around benefits. this will be a big week for infrastructure after so stupidly spending seven trillion in the middle east it is now time to start investing in our country.

protectionism government persian supplanting the voluntary transactions of markets and the allocation of wealth and opportunity is socialism for the well connected. well the us radio someone commissioning believes that trumps anti socialist downstairs amounting political posturing. dollars somebody is a hypocrite i mean he is i mean he is a devout travel those of the of the worst kind you see right now he's bringing in the war drums to go into predominately socialist country venezuela you know no doubt you sir they are 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 you know so he's speaking to

constituents that he believes are dumbed down that he's holding our dumbed down there are no these hope and continue to be dumbed down. speaking to them one of these transfer is. still to come this ascot falls in venezuela as an opposition convoy does try to collect banned u.s. aid waiting at the border would have a look at up the stories to just after the spring. seems wrong. to shape out this day. and in. the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

we will not be judged by what it is that we inherited we will be judged by what we give to our children we must accept responsibility to fix our nations and make sure that we fix them for the sake of the future stop looking behind us and believe in the likud will rule is gone. we must have a new generation of people who will fix our countries for the rest of the future and that's basically what it is that we are offering major. welcome back here with the u.s.

has announced plans to maintain a peacekeeping creampuff two hundred troops on syrian soil beyond the plan but through all pentagon troops from the country this spring the same does come after a recent phone call between trump and his turkish counterpart recipe the need to discuss security in the region there are currently something thousand american troops in syria in december trump announced the route of u.s. forces there but there pullout is now seen less than certain it should be formally announced sometime probably next week that we will have one hundred percent of the caliphate. but i want to wait for the official word and i want to say too early we have won against isis we've beaten them and we've beaten now we've won time to give our brave warriors in syria. a warm welcome home you could in that vacuum see a resurgence of ice to see

a resurgence you know are one thing i'll come back if we have to. ok let's get the thoughts now of international affairs commentated jonathan steele he joins us from the jonathan good afternoon tea. some might ask what is the point of keeping just two hundred troops in syria i mean how effective could they. trip or are i think i mean the main problem is that the turkish authorities president has threatened to move turkish troops into the whole of the northern syrian area to wipe out the kurdish forces which he considers to be terrorist i was talking actually yesterday in london to one of the syrian kurdish political leaders he was here on a visit to see the british government and she researching the kurds are willing to move their forces five kilometers back from the syrian turkish border provided there are peacekeepers or some international force in the buffer zone to protect them against the turks so do you think we'll have to see there are discussions

going on in washington about all this obviously with moscow and with the world we'll see what comes out of it i mean this latest announcement did come after spoke with the man she think it's a deal that they struck then. you know i think it's too early to strike a deal i think as i say there consultations going on involving the syrian government in damascus turkey iran which is part of their strong process and of course united states. british and french forces who are there in a small capacity backing up the americans there are many competing interests are there in syria do you ever to see a situation where there would be no u.s. troops. well i mean trump has said that they've defeated ryerson they have done militarily in the sense that they have almost no territorial . after the last sliver of territory probably will for next week is trump said but

that doesn't then the isis problem because there are huge number of former fighters another sympathizes with artistes who are perhaps willing to go underground to form sleeper cells to pop up in different parts of the world particularly in europe maybe in russia maybe in north africa to carry out their terrorist attacks are there with the ideology continues even if the territory has been lost sure wouldn't the syrian government they were the armed forces they have be enough to counter that problem. while very there might be able to as a says this isn't just a military problem it really requires education it can cause the radicalization it requires jobs i mean one of the reasons why are many of these young men joining this group is economic they have no work prospects their jobs their joy and iris and then they become radicalized afterwards to it's usually that way around it's wrong to think that people are radical islamists then join isis it's often

particularly ones for local iraqis syrians young unemployed young men are going to become radicalized sponsored joint virus sure and we shouldn't forget all the thousands of radicalized islamists that have come from europe and the u.k. to. well that's exactly right and some of them have come back some of them have been put on trial sentences of two or three years and then we have these cases of the so-called jihadi brides large mom a very very teenage girl who went out there at the age of fifteen. months to come back and has had her british citizenship taken away and sure it's a complicated situation isn't it jonathan always good to talk she going to have to leave it there that was jonathan steele international affairs commentator. the standoff is escalating the u.s. aid to venezuela at the moment stockpiled on the border with. that is why the self-proclaimed promise is to get it into the country by saturday despite elected

president nicolas maduro banning it overthe is that aid convoys could be used to smuggle weapons to the opposition well the russian foreign ministry spokesperson echoed that sentiment i discussed the fallout from the escalation with r.t. she got it done. the spokeswoman for the russian foreign ministry maria harbor has said that the situation in venezuela is already critical she has pointed out that america is already amassing weapons on the border with the country and also everything is being done to sort of feed the narrative of urgency to kind us by kid of for example president want to be why he is adding fuel to the flames saying that the deadline for humanitarian aid to enter the country is saturday so this is the deadline that he has said so everything feeding into this narrative and donald trump from washington he's basically trying to talk the country's military into treason i mean is there is this issue arsenic the u.s.

is deliberately making the situation worse by making out there we are beyond the point of no return the u.s. presidents direct appeal to the venezuelan army to ignore the orders of diligent head of state is the height of cynicism imagine addressing the u.s. army with an appeal for example not to be the commander in chief and at the same time washington is also encouraging protesters in venezuela they are keeping them hopeful according to maria's the heart of the they have information that the united states could try and civilians in venezuela with party weapons have a list speckle grows of these the delivery of the weapons to venezuela is planned for the beginning of march of this year in several stages via the neighboring country using the cargo planes over international companies unfortunately this is not surprising to see ukrainian traces in this store. three specifically they're going to use the state owned and turn up company and really this scenario of

eighteen minutes area aid convoys turning out to be really just trojan horses filled with munitions and arms and this scenario is not really ungrounded because the man the united states appointed to be their special envoy in venezuela now is our brooms and he has experience in doing exactly that thing for example in one thousand nine hundred sixty in nicaragua he filled aid convoys with weapons and that's how he smuggled arms into another country now marie is a horrible also pointed out well russia views as hypocrisy on behalf of the united states and their foreign policy because for example she pointed out that while the united states are calling for peaceful protests in haiti they're saying that the opposition in haiti shouldn't be going beyond peacefully protesting and calling for a political solution in the country the situation in venezuela somehow proves different. speaking to me about how things are looking back again at the top yes.

i i i. i. i. i. i do think the numbers mean something they matter us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime happens each day. eighty five percent of

global wealth he longs to be ultra rich with six percent world market thirty percent some with one hundred five hundred three per second per second and if we rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember one one business show you know the mid one and only one but. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution to crack the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it still oil. book video. splendid. the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty four. those

who took. invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. look . at the list and. i'm. sure there are a lot of buildings still up. in the him by mission and how they. look. for the little guy we. don't want out of the modern i don't want to go about. something to worry. about mr need to.

calm down when. they shuffle stehman we have been down. there in the open a little warmth and you know what. shall i do you know what this i don't like the. kind of financial survival job today was all about money laundering first to visit this issue this week difference. is a good start well we have our three banks all set up here maybe something in europe something in america something overseas or the cayman islands or do we do all these banks are complicit in the kleptocracy we just have to deal with gold and say hey i'm ready to do some serious money laundering ok let's see how we did well we've got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacy oh beautiful jewelry and how about. luxury automobile again.
