for this half hour world news update thanks to an interest first the u.s. army veteran has been arrested and charged in california over an alleged bomb plot according to the justice department the twenty six year old was planning a massacre on christians and jews caleb maupin has the story for you. federal officials have raised an indictment for an individual who has just arrested named mark stephen domingo now this is a u.s. army veteran who served in afghanistan is now charged with attempting to carry out a large scale terrorist attack as revenge for the incidents in new zealand the shootings in new zealand at the mosques that killed a number of individuals that apparently motivated mark stephen domingo to plan to carry out a terrorist attack in los angeles and take the lives of scores possibly hundreds of individuals here is some of what the indictment says in online posts and in conversations with an f.b.i. source to express support for violent jihad

a desire to seek retribution for attacks against muslims and their willingness to become a monster according to the affidavit following an attack on a mosque in new zealand on march thirteenth domingo posted the must be retribution now the f.b.i. says it used confidential human sources to acquire information about domingo essentially began when he was posting on internet forums calling for revenge and retribution for the new zealand attacks and from what i understand federal officials first began talking with him on the internet then they set up in person meetings in those meetings he expressed a desire to attack a rally that was set to take place in california he purchased hundreds of nails and these nails were apparently to be used in an improvised explosive device they were to be shrapnel that would then be detonated and kill everyone in attendance if possible now from what we understand he is now in the hands of federal officials and he will soon be appearing in federal court to face charges for planning this

large scale terrorist attack now people are looking at these incidents the the shooting in christ church in new zealand the recent incidents at synagogues across the united states the attacks have taken place in churches and noticing a disturbing trend where places of worship seem to be targeted by those intending to carry out terrorist attacks. and acts of religiously motivated violence so we'll be waiting to see what happens next as the individual mark steven domingo twenty six years old u.s. army veteran set to face these charges after being apprehended care of mopin this so that it's thought this planned attack was in retribution as we heard for the shootings in cross new zealand last month fifty were killed in the tragedy of government previously expressed white supremacy views open fire on worshipers in two mosques some of the shooting was live streamed on facebook meantime it was reported to that string of deadly bombings in sri lanka on easter sunday was also in response to events in cross church eight bombs went off in various places on the

south asian island killing over two hundred fifty churches and luxury hotels were targeted in those attacks and now in a move to try to boost public protection for lankan government has banned female face coverings in public anger in the country's sizable muslim community then the second largest minority group in sri lanka here in r.t. we discussed whether or not this was a prudent security measure or maybe another possibility to inflame religious hostility in the region. let's get real you know over two hundred fifty people have been massacred in sri lanka and the i fully support the sri lankan president for this temporary security measure i imagine a scenario where the security forces and so to get people who are covered up and then could say that would you know who they where their identities are not clear to us so that kind of allows for the muslims to move freely across the society if those women had their faces shaded by a head covering then clearly a c.c.t.v.

image would show nothing so there is a logic to this if you follow me you know it's just it's just be explicitly enabling security services to dent of i and of the jewels in the act of or planning to carry out massacres in this instance of hundreds of christian people christian people so i think it's reasonable why not support it as the head of human rights watch has only argued it is a needless restriction what you do was is sort of creates a sense of helplessness among the muslims they might feel that one by one our rights have been taken away fundamental rights it's been supported by the largest muslim group in sure like it so where's the argument most of them supported sure like and supported i supported who wouldn't support it but the males are talking about the individual rights the rights of women to follow their specific

religious obligations and where does it stop who is going to be. compromised by the very act of trying to make sure that security services can check the visibility of those people who could potentially be able to carry out a terrorist incident that's the reason for doing that there could be the islamic hard line conservative argument but having said that the state has the response to . realty of looking after the interests of the mouse this on the basis of that it can take these mages but this should not become a long term because if it does that creates a division between sri lanka's multireligious religious fabric so it is certain degree of islamophobia across the international system this was an attack by radical muslims or christians it slaughtered them in their hundreds and you're talking about islamophobia c'mon this is nothing to do with islam phobia this was christian

a phobia not all muslims are terrorists i absolutely agree with this one but on this occasion all the terrorists were muslims you deal with it. could tip you off to later in the program we're hearing from the radicalized russian student who attempted to join islamic state she's now turned her back on terror she says she wants to help others avoid a similar fate is one not to miss it's coming up in a few minutes. next door this morning. after a year in the financial world in the saudi arabia has been assured back into the fold some of the world's biggest firms gave the seal of approval last week at an investment forum there last year they boycotted a similar gathering over the murder of a journalist. our senior correspondent has the story for you. the smell of money can be intoxicated or even a year since the gruesome murder of washington post journalist jamal has shoji and the worldwide condemnation over a saudi official suspected role in it but it seems enough money can sway anything

throughout last week who's who of the financial elite hunkered down together at a saudi financial summit i find it's a very important interesting place for us to build a relationship the transformation of the region has been quite amazing the list of speakers and those in attendance was impressive top dogs from banks including h.s.b.c. morgan stanley j.p. morgan chase sausage the asian our former e.u. prime ministers the v.i.p. real deal juxtapose that with a conference the saudis held in october dubbed davos in the desert at was talk sic c.e.o.'s investors made their excuses left and right and center but not for long because the you resistible smell of money soon returned the factors issues in the

press does not tell me i must run away from a place ironic given that he said that at the ritz hotel in riyadh where eighteen months ago dozens of saudi dissidents and world rivals would detained apparently tortured and forced to give up billions of dollars to the king so who cares if an outspoken journalist was butchered and dissolved in acid who cares if saudi arabia just executed thirty seven men reportedly for political reasons crucifying one of them whose saudi billions could be just the thing to make america great again. saudi arabia very rich country we defend their. king. they have nothing but cash. you know here people wanting to cut off saudi arabia they've bought four hundred and fifty billion dollars i don't want to

lose them i call the game like the king. i said king. we're losing our founding king and you have a lot of money. the it's bad for business is bad for everyone so perhaps goes without saying that with some things it's best to forget like murder torture mass executions and oppression i mean put yourself in their very very expensive shoes the c.e.o. of investment firm black rock manages more than six trillion dollars in assets trillion for reference the us government budget for next year is just under five trillion and we're talking about trillions of dollars human rights and well just people generally become a little less important that's not to say the c.e.o.

of blackrock is a bad guy now mr fink was recognized last november by the crisis response group the international rescue committee for his spirit and passion for humanitarian causes real people guy charity and all that said the smell of money trillions does crazy things to you so no you can go on boycotting and criticizing saudi arabia but the guys with the money hold the strings they're interested it's business as usual. thanks of american diplomacy secular state mike pompei it was claimed the russians have been interfering in american politics since the one nine hundred seventy s. will continue to pose a threat for decades to come. the russians interfered it happened in the run up to the election in two thousand and sixteen that we have the we have the mission now

to make sure this doesn't happen in two thousand and twenty there were threats or elections ninety seven four right and they interfered our elections in the eighty's and we should expect in two thousand and fifteen twenty fifty the russians will be added still i must say i was stunned at his reference to nine hundred seventy four and the one nine hundred eighty s. what is he talking about i mean we're talking about the era of gus hall and the communist party when he ran for president was zero support and this was the time of the of the old soviet union what relevance does that have today the idea of putting more sanctions round by round is simply this that russia is our eternal enemy they were our enemy under the soviet time they're our enemy and now they will be our enemy in the future this is kind of a manichean binary mindset that simply has no place in a rational political discourse and russia has only target iran was on the list to two rounds been facing extended sanctions since washington withdrew from that

twenty fifty nuclear deal just last week the trumpet ministration ended a temporary pools of destruction zone or a no oil imports into being those of china and turkey to pump a zero promised unbearable conditions for those who continue to trade with iran. trump ministration recently announced sanctions and no more waivers ok and turkey and china have said there are going to be undeterred so what now sovereign nations make their own choices individual businesses inside of that will make their own choices what we can do is prepare a sanctions regime that makes it incredibly costly it's a case of bullying runamuck the us is opposing the rest of the world trumps isolationism means that he is to a great extent at war with the world he is hostile to real early to all countries how on earth he wants to use them he wants to put u.s. interests. first and foremost in the narrowest sense of the term the u.s. and to a few years massive. in other countries elections in venezuela being the the latest

example but there's there's hardly a time when the u.s. has not been intervening in other country's elections exactly forty was post not in the morning or must be watching out international live from moscow h.q. this tuesday with me kevin owen so stories ahead because they would meet in a few minutes the u.s. warns britain against using the chinese tech giant qual a for five g. network over more spying fears we'll tell you all about it will be back. now doing those manufacturing jobs also start to innovate because that's where the innovation happens on the factory floor so the factory floor is been moved to china as you point out. we moved all of our jobs manufacturing over to china all the innovations in china so we don't it's not it's not created in california built in

china is going to be created in china built in china. seem wrong. just don't. get to shape out. active. and engaged in. the trail. find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. again good morning international with me kevin owen so is this time for the break

cyber security officials in the united states a warning britain against allowing the chinese take to help build a five g. network that washington says the company is an untrusted vend corporation made danger intelligence sharing with the u.k. what we really have here is a loaded gun is something that western democracies who value human rights should think very carefully about if they want to give that to an authoritarian regime with very different values about the use of data. well he's already conducted five g. trials in a number of european countries including france and germany the u.s. has accused the chinese firm of money laundering fraud and theft of intellectual property something it strongly denies we heard from a european asian affairs specialist who says there's no evidence to prove the company was spying. i think there's a statement might someone saying well it's going to the intent of the keep ability might happen more easily with in china or offshore tyrian regime and so that much

easier to hide underneath the security aspect and the potential security threats even though nothing has been found in a while with equipment we've got separate testing facilities set up in the u.k. and in europe and there's been no instance of the whatsoever. again says the security issues flagged by the u.s. upon the ongoing trade war with china basically. i think the main reason is. it's technology and comparative the i mean basically the us is behind on the technology while we leaving the area it's growing could china potentially buy or eavesdrop just like it's been shown that the u.s. spies on. just the adversary but allies its own citizens and as we've discovered recently even opposition political candidates i do not believe it security i think we're using these things to increase the trade negotiations potentially with china basically

a component of hybrid work where we talk about what the internet gave in the new capabilities on that five g.'s the whole next generation of that and to basically put yourself years behind. the economic suicide. coming up a russian student who attempts to join islamic state in syria speaks to us next in fact she sheds light on her motivation of the consequences of her actions as well as giving some caution advice for anyone who wants to follow the path a correspondent cochon of those to me to know. it's been only three days since about about a former moscow student was released on parole from a russian penal colony she was convicted for attempting to join icily terrorist and she was sentenced to four and a half years but she spent two years in a colony and i spoke to her i asked her about her time in the penal

colony about her thoughts and her future and about what she thinks now fool the decisions that she made that glad her to life behind bars but i told me that it is difficult for her to talk to the prize but she wants to be open about what happened . because. i want to show myself not as a. it was probably originally shown but as i really am that my story was a peculiar listen it's not even all about isis but about just simple relationships with my family people this is my deeply personal story the story of my family that i want to tell and show people myself and not befriend me but. she also gave some advice to those who are struggling and even those who are thinking about joining the ranks of terrorists. are just things that would happen to me was also related

to my little the self esteem is not some certainty in my so and it turns out that women hold on to their husbands and go that they hold on to them so much that they may not even understand their ideology they do not understand why to go there yet there has been saying no discussion and is very important to believe in yourself your words mean something if he says you have to go and so what who cares what she says. but also told me about how she coped worst time that she spent in a penal colony. but i thought a lot at that moment about what was happening why it was happening actually very difficult fools they go round and round and round sometimes it takes you to the point of depression because you can't get out of the change and you don't want to think about it if you want to turn away and wrong but i just still there and i understand that i can't leave this story behind me it will always be part of me. but i was released on parole and she can't leave the city without just there is

asian she seemed rather confusing because she has no wood detail to plans for her future now she said that her freedom hasn't yet sunk in and that still it's a lot to grasp for her she only sad that she wants to get back to normal life now what we have here this is a catch in norway of raise the alarm for mother russian threat this time a blue goo whale appearing near the boat of the norwegian coast sporting no less than a camera mounted on a harness bearing this is the clever bit name for russian city. is the story for you. here's a situation a cute white sea mammal starts playing with a couple of fishing boats. little. creature clearly wants to grab people's attention and even tries to pull straps and ropes. the crew treats the little

whale with some yummy snacks but realizes it's probably peeved by the tight harness around its body. it takes a while and some real effort to take the straps off the unfortunate friend the white chap swims away enjoy the harness clip is branded equipment st petersburg which turns out to be a real russian firm making extreme sports equipment now how about this story. a group of norwegian fishing vessels have survived an attack. a rasta boat the tide harness round its body with the name of the lot of putin's hometown on it made locals think the whale was a russian navy weapon norway is now on high alert amid fears russia could have trained entire teams of sea creatures for spying and combat missions some of you

might roll your eyes and think what a weird paranoid freak out well i'll tell you what pretty much all the media out there reported the encounter of norway's northern coast and in some cases my impression of the catchy coverage wasn't too much of an exaggeration whale found off noways coast believed to be spying for russia. does a new alleged russian spy it's a below go whale colonel beluga off of course if it says st petersburg on that thing the cute creature must be a russian spy or not to underestimate what britain is probably a better word than luke a whale found wearing a harness to carry a camera could be russian weapon whales trained by russia's military may be harassing fishermen from nato ally in no way ok i'll tell you a secret the likes of the russian or u.s.

navy's started training sea mammals for things like the mining rescue operations spotting underwater threats decades ago just google it but it never really put their neighbors in panic mode this time though beluga whale with russian harness raises a lot in norway i just hope those who wrote this do stay away from some of the following displays of russian humor. and i so to say goodbye have a great day my name's kevin lowe in folks watching out international live from moscow for this thirty minute news update check it out download our up for all the breaking stories straight to mobile devices and when they have a good day. montes

greetings and salyut age so we are taking our signature back yes those were the six words spoken by u.s. president battled trump at the national to the national rifle association crowd and sent them into a wild applause frenzy of emanuel summit in indianapolis on friday where trump unexpectedly been a pretty serious yet not that really unexpected lead told the exuberant crowd and the world that the united states of america would not ratify the united nations two thousand and fourteen arms trade treaty you see according to the un the international arms treaty was designed to regulate the international trade in conventional arms from small arms the battle tanks to combat acar aircraft all the way up to warships all in an effort to help better control the widespread availability of misuse of weapons former us president barack obama signed the treaty back in two thousand and thirteen but the united states you see when we know

. by the deal drum one on the tell the crowd quote under my administration we will never surrender american sovereignty to anyone we will never allow foreign bureaucrats to trample on your second amendment freedoms and that is why my administration will never ratified the u.n. arms trade treaty yes donald those are strong words but. very very little on how shall we say you know understanding of what the treaty covers and how it actually works you know mainly because the of the un arms treaty only regulates international international sales of weapons not domestic sales of difference international domestic rachel stole the managing director of the stimson center at think tank and consultant to the arms trade treaty process decried drum's decision saying quote today the president once again walked away from america's leadership role in the world and undermined international efforts to reduce human suffering caused by irresponsible and illegal arms transfers. smell that air guns arms

treaties broken promises and billions of dollars on the line i think it's a good time to start watching the hawks. wonder what. the big. deal with this would. be the plot of. the day like you that i got. with. the. welcome are going to watching the arc so i am tired and i'm having and i think some people don't understand how the second amendment works or of the united nations rights or how truly the work. order or this particular story of the street and

particularly international domestic two very different things well this is how this sort of political pandering works that if you keep telling the same scare tactic on my guy the un is coming to get us all we got the un is going to take iran all the un's doing this oh the un's doing that. that's where these theories become reality and then people are terrified of them and that's because we know we all love sovereignty we do know when no one here doesn't like a little sovereignty but we also understand we live in a global place and when you're talking about a global world where one hundred on average arms trade is roughly about one hundred billion dollars a year that's a lot of guns floating around in this world that's a lot of rockets that's a lot of tanks that's a lot of exactly just kind of letting the marketplace over there say i mean the u.s. so as weapons were the number one we're the big dog when it comes to arms we sell weapons to least ninety eight different countries around the world with our largest client being can.
