8:02 pm
during on negotiations with president putin i'll be able to discuss the masses of resulting the problems on the korean peninsula as well as a bilateral relations what exactly he means by that we can only guess that all this is the so so to say be on to raj of kim jong un's arrival in lot of aust august. literally minutes after the north korean supreme leader got inside his limo we were given the opportunity to come closer to his armored train.
8:03 pm
so unfortunately i won't be able to show you or see for myself any of the extraordinary facilities inside that tray that was used by cam john father i was trying to look through the window but obviously no chances and the security guards are watching carefully to make sure that we don't touch it i've already been told off by the inside there are high tech communication facilities several conference room as well as luxury living quarters and. middle of the train there's a special room for him john it's wife and right next to it two separate carts for bodyguards there are two restaurants one is for the supreme leader himself and the second one is for the and tired delegation there's even
8:04 pm
a special section for the leaders limo and they're the one that we saw on the station square that the massive armored vehicle could actually fit into one of those now in terms of the political context of this meeting we have to remember what happened a few months ago and also last year to face to face meetings with an american president donald trump the world expected to break through but it didn't happen no agreements or deals were signed being yang expected some positive steps from washington to be made in response to the concessions from the d p r k one of the things they said they did was destroying a number of nuclear facilities that they used to have what they got instead was more pressure and threats of new sanctions and what we found out eventually was that kim john thune was heading to russia and the next leader he's going to meet is
8:05 pm
vladimir putin not donald trump so definitely we are expecting them to discuss the denuclearization of the korean peninsula of course moscow's role and where it stands in this conflict is completely different to that of washington but if once the kemp and summit is over we hear about some breakthrough decisions being made in pyongyang that is really going to be a diplomatic game changer. the chairman of the d.p. r. k. will spend the night at a hotel on risky islands the north korean delegation requests that a range of traditional russian dishes to be served during a stay on the menu is borsch a suit made from beetroot says you can see there pull many which are russian style dumplings and of course caviar. and the main event will be on thursday kim jong un the had plenty to occupy him in the meantime he was set to visit several major factories as well as russian navy facilities political analyst chris bambery
8:06 pm
outlined his expectations for the talks think putin is going to say take it easy here you need to go to his advice would be you need to take it gradually and make sure any step you take is as a reciprocal step from the americans so i think they'll be discussing the nuclear deal and how the north koreans can play their card and i think image in your want putin's advice. and i think putin will retain them to say a bit more hardball please put hardball with the americans a bit a bit more so i get i'm not thinking anything really dramatic here but i think it america russia will make it clear that while it doesn't saeed with north korea in terms of developing nuclear missiles it understands why north korea wants this nuclear program and understands why the americans have to treat the north koreans
8:07 pm
with respect in these negotiations if the negotiations resume so vladimir putin will meet kim jong il on thursday and of course will be across all events for you so do stay with r.t. for the latest. leading rights groups of the live in a scathing rebuke to saudi arabia over its execution of thirty seven men on terror related charges on tuesday a mystery international said many of the convictions were handed down in sham trials and market alarming escalation in your thirty's use of the death penalty he writes what was described the punishments as grotesque morag as the earth has this report. few things so was much fear into the hearts of your own people there was mass executions none of this electric chair or lethal injection nonsense we're talking here about beheading it isn't so much about killing someone
8:08 pm
as it is about terrifying others narco cartels the mafia know it and so does saudi arabia and if you can get away with bad heading justifying it generally isn't a problem the men were executed for adopting terrorists and extremists thinking and performing terrorists else to corrupt in destabilize security allegedly among their crimes was this respect towards authority some of them can you believe that like the king protested against him so serious with their crimes that one of those executed was also crucified yes crucified in two thousand and nineteen his body strung up for all to see for all to fear. today's mass execution is a chilling demonstration of the saudi arabia north or it is callous disregard for
8:09 pm
human life it is also yet another gruesome indication of how the death penalty is being used as a political tool to crush dissent from within the country's shia minority in fact almost half of those killed were executed after taking part in pro-democracy protests see the arab spring didn't skirt saudi arabia the shia minority rose up it wanted change better fairer life the king obviously thought they wanted too much it's not the first time which saudi arabia that you know t. to punish prisoners of conscious rule who dared to talk about the human rights violations in the country we were surprised by by what happened yesterday because we thought that it was like something we shouldn't have happened at and in any in any case or any time it's not the first time which so debuts such punishment to
8:10 pm
crash since one of those executed by the way was sixteen years old at the time of his arrest for attending a protest apparently he was still a kid now is an example you wouldn't believe how creative the saudis are when it comes to killing prisoners in fact the current king began his reign by staging a massive execution forty seven people beheaded shot for crimes that included this a big saudi rulers biggest blood show since the nine hundred eighty s. who said fictions aren't uncommon peaked in two thousand and twelve five people were strung up paralysis reportedly is also in a judge's arsenal seriously they can sentence a person to be paralyze. punishment roots back to four thousand year old law that someone wrote on a stone pillar to throw
8:11 pm
a tooth and literally in this case an eye for an eye saudis took that stone very seriously in two thousand and five a court in saudi arabia ordered a migrants i get outraged out as punishment for getting into a fight amputation also a favorite especially for theft chopping off people's arms and feet stealing and of course stoning reserved for crimes like being too friendly with the opposite sex what can you say you want to cherry on top saudi arabia's on the un human rights council. what a world that sends an extremely worrying signal to the shia community regarding you know standing up for their rights i mean there are many of the shia community huge will stand up for the rights this will certainly. dissuade them or serve to
8:12 pm
dissuade them for doing such a thing notably we've heard nothing from the united states of america and perhaps others who are involved in supporting saudi arabia in other elements of its public policy say in respect yemen and so on so i am sitting in in the u.k. i haven't heard any particular condemnation from the british government it is completely unclear that international standards of justice a fair trial standards were were followed in this case and thirty seven people is a lot of people to you to execute on any one day it's it's a quite a ruthless move. the parents of a swedish national arrested in ecuador for reportedly plotting against the president have been allowed to visit their son in jail the swedish foreign minister's demanding ecuador explain his arrest. the man the taint is all our binney who's a computer programmer he's an expert in cyber security and also a digital privacy advocate it was the tane just hours after julian assad was
8:13 pm
arrested in the ecuadorian embassy in london when he's charged with hacking computer systems in the country his father told us sons rights were violated he didn't get to talk to slow or in the right time and he didn't get to meet the consul in the right time and there was so many wrong things that were done their evidence is that all has one book of noam chomsky and us that he has a lot of memory sticks and that is all of her and that is not enough to arrest the person while human rights activists say there's no proof of wallabies guilt and a number of celebrities activists and politicians have also signed an open letter to the swedish government kuhlmann it to help free the programmer only quarter picks up on the story. seems being friends with julian a sonship might just cost you your freedom as the wiki leaks co-founder was dragged
8:14 pm
into the back of a british police van another hacktivists shared a similar fate all of being he was arrested on the same day allegedly for working with assad and for several years now one of the key members of the week you leaks in a person close to me is to do the songe has lived in the uk with do and we have sufficient evidence that he has been collaborating with the best the bligh station attempts against the government prosecutors charged me with attacking ecuadorian computer systems and their evidence laptops and encrypted u.s.b. sticks seized from beanies home president lenin moreno pointed to frequent travel as a mark of guilt suspecting beanie visited a songe to do his bidding and one of the reasons he kicked out a songe was suspicion he was using the aqua dorian embassy as a hacktivist ecuador's interior minister says it will not be tolerated even if it's mere suspicion it is up to the justice system to determine if he committed
8:15 pm
a crime but we can't allow inquiry to become essential for piracy and spying that period in our history is over so just hours after assad was dragged out of the dorian embassy being he was detained in quito airport his lawyers say his rights were violated in many ways no charges no translator he was even denied bail and his parents fear for his safety it's a tough time for him and he doesn't really understand why he's. forty has been there. and this isn't just another hacktivist we're talking about here beany worked on the advisory board for a major european commission funded project called de code the initiative involves cybersecurity experts researching data ownership and technological sovereignty human rights groups and high profile figures are calling for beanies immediate. release and also in sweden the big newspaper that has been.
8:16 pm
giving out this petition or open letter to our prime minister. that he should be released and this has been signed over. about hundred very. prominent persons from rome it shouldn't be dangerous for anyone in ecuador or has to just know mr. several thousand kilometers north another saw unsling tactic is to sitting in jail a u.s. federal appeals court has denied chelsea manning bail after she was arrested once again in march and for what refusing to testify in court against a sandwich it seems like any connection to wiki leaks can get you in jail so if you've ever rubbed elbows with julian a songe it might be better to keep quiet about it for i'm going to forty's have admitted to a major intelligence lapse before that used to suddenly bombings we'll have more on that in just a few moments. you
8:17 pm
know world big partisan movies lots and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle
8:18 pm
for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. welcome back to the program in detail as a beginning to emerge about the identities of the suicide bombers behind because he's the sunday attacks which left three hundred fifty nine people dead country's authorities say that eight men and one woman who carried out the atrocities that the perpetrators were from wealthy backgrounds one of them had studied in britain and australia picks up on the story. one of the suicide bombers has been named as abdul latif that jamil mohammed who has a connection with the u.k.
8:19 pm
. is one of. the. most people coming back to settle into a suicide bomber most of them will. come from maybe middle of the little girl's head there according to sources mohammed visited southeast england in around two thousand and six to seven to study but did not complete a university degree they later did a post-graduate course in australia before returning to sri lanka where he was one of nine people who carried out a series of blast targeting churches and hotels and the death toll from the easter sunday bomb attacks across sri lanka has now reached three hundred fifty nine with more than five hundred people injured and choose day sri lanka's prime minister admitted intelligence agencies had information that could have stopped the attacks if it had been passed on correctly and confirmed there had been a breakdown of communication the leader of the sri lankan parliament even claims
8:20 pm
senior officials deliberately withheld intelligence about the potential for attacks or britain and the f.b.i. are helping the investigation into who carried out the bombings islamic state has claimed without any evidence that its fighters were responsible the sri lankan defense ministry suggestion this was retaliation for the christ church mosque shootings has been played down by new zealand prime minister arden's office while world leaders and top political figures have condemned the attacks and expressed their condolences for the dead and injured and it's our expert to means of a load or told us the authorities in the u.k. need to look at why increasing numbers of university students are being radicalized . we're now seeing a lot of students from students seems to be radicalized and you can invest in this this is a trick because. this is becoming the hope for a collision that there is need for
8:21 pm
a review of what kind of radicalization is going on in the u.k. in this these how to assure that this is stopped. is important to highlight that this is not a forced individual to have gone through u.k. universities that have been radicalized with north. god forgot to try to use a bomb. on a plane so we know some people have been coming here and we need to know if it indeed was radicalized. associates so that if they know of. is that they need to be able to apprehend them quickly or even if they do you. rather have signed a decree simplifying procedures for people in ukraine's territories of donetsk and lugansk to receive russian passports. discuss the issue with our correspondent. well the crees now signed by president putin and comes into force immediately and
8:22 pm
that basically means that people leave in its new craning and self proclaimed republics of deniece and lugansk will now have their right to get a russian passport in an easier way meaning less papers less time the law says it's not going to take less more than three months which is twice as last as for ordinary people and at the end of the day it will also promise less nightmare for these people of course the law says that it's done quotation on humanitarian grounds with the aim of protecting people's rights and freedoms because we don't have any intention to create problems for the new ukrainian authorities but we cannot tolerate a situation where people living on the terror. these. regions are completely deprived of civil rights. leaders in terms of human rights they cannot become an exercise the basic rights this is a purely humanitarian question and of course you've been covering the situation in
8:23 pm
the region since the start of the crisis back in two thousand and fourteen right yes you know i remember that day today almost exactly five years ago in april two thousand and fourteen people fourteen announced the beginning of what they called counterterrorist operation eastern ukraine with all possible weaponry involved and since then the situation in these regions has only been deteriorating the un says that thirteen thousand people have been killed as a result infrastructure you can imagine has been dramatically destroyed so life has never been easy there till today it's hard and of course it's neither safe nor comfortable to live there of course there's also the economic blockade in the list of issues for the region and what do we know about that sure these regions to have been on deceive the economic blockade since two thousand and fifteen if i'm not mistaken even the ois see members working on the ground have been repeatedly reporting that it may lead to a humanitarian catastrophe in the region so you may imagine i mean how harsh
8:24 pm
conditions living conditions for people in these regions are no surprise three hundred sixty thousand ukrainian citizens have moved to russia in the last five years many of them have already applied to have russian passport but it has never been easy and with this decree with this recent amendment i think things will change and we have to remember that this is just one of a series of multiple measures russia as a state has recently undertaken in this direction so it's not just about paperwork again it is about helping these people that. are an extremely difficult situation which the border to me beautiful my freedom of this is. people cannot use you i mean it's going to be much better of course there was a good russian citizen and have really. want to get fashion passports and we will
8:25 pm
get them so we already have the yes passports west so glad put inside this decree what you. want to believe that all of this suffering somewhere not on the plane and that we'll be able to have a better life western countries would see this and encroachments on ukrainian sovereignty in the sense that they regard i mean it's going to go to space and take parts of ukraine and they receive this is moscow you know encroaching on that plate issuing orders to people that they would perceive to be craniums in those regions even though those people themselves might find a russian passport far more valuable here inside russia you've got to look at it from a different perspective right the fact is that there are three million ukrainian citizens in russia at moment there are far more ukrainians and that here that they are russian citizenship just that acquired over decades or years but there are three million ukrainian citizens right now that this would be seen as a humanitarian thing inside russia because these people for five years they've been in a state of limbo many have expired ukrainian passports the exact document issued by
8:26 pm
the separatism ministrations in lugansk in ten years completely worthless etc. because of the countries don't recognize them. but as i said the west would see this as. a violation of ukraine's sovereignty they may see this propagation by russia but they're coming out of a totally different point of view. or there has indeed been an outpouring of condemnation from western countries in recent hours the u.s. state department school russia's move a highly provocative action which amounts to an assault on ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. well that's it for this hour join us again at four am moscow time for the latest global news headlines. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to.
8:27 pm

8:29 pm
the fall out from the mall or report wondering how many games the warriors will lose on their way to another n.b.a. championship and taking bets over who lives and who dies in the avengers and game of thrones the world is waiting for us to catch and the raw reality for many of our brothers and sisters living under the sun of the united states of america's comeback hard to knock us out of our pop culture haze with the recent viral video of the vicious police beating of fifteen year old luke raul in broward county florida and just one agree just acted deluca committed to mitigate a blast of pepper spray to the face and having his head bounced off the concrete a few times well according to the arrest warrant affidavit while the police were cupping another teen for trespassing to look at picked up the arrested teen cellphone and then according to two officers who assaulted him. belated to his body and began clenching his fists and that my friends is apparently was an up or two grown adult male officers with biceps to fear for their safety from this young

skinny black teenage child in a red tank top holding a cellphone. and it's this kind of insanity that needs loud independent voices to help shine a light on and cup through our pop culture haze so that we can find real solutions to end the racial and class division in the us but far too often the voices of our leaders come from the hollow halls of privilege wealth in academia far too disconnected from the street level reality of the struggle so today let's throw out the status quo works up to believers and thoughts and give voice to the voiceless as we start watching the hawks. get the. real deal it's. like you know that i got. this.
