why do we continue to support countries that exhibit disrespect for international behavior and why do we continue to futile i have no problems with these weapons are made to kill. eleven o'clock here in moscow and you're watching our international live from our headquarters with me welcome to the program a former u.s. national security analyst has been charged with giving classified documents on u.s. warfare tactics to a journalist he's now facing up to fifty years in prison for his alleged role in the revelation the press freedom organization reporters without borders has criticized the legal moves against hale saying that charging whistleblowers under the espionage act must and his artie's kaleb or pin. well he's thirty one years old his name is daniel hale and he's a former u.s.
4:02 pm
intelligence official and member of the national security agency and apparently he is facing up to fifty years in prison for leaking classified government information he was arrested in nashville tennessee now the indictment against him says that he revealed information to an unnamed reporter the name of that reporter is not disclosed in the indictment but that he gave that information over to this reporter who then published it in their book and that this material was related to u.s. anti terrorism activities and warfare strategy now at this point many people are looking over the info in the indictment and seem to believe that it all winds up with information that was given to the intercept which is an online publication and to jeremy scahill now that is not being confirmed at this point the intercept is not confirming that but some people some people are seeming to speculate that that's the case let's review what the intercepts said when asked about whether or
4:03 pm
not this was their source who was arrested the intercept was not common all matters relating to the identity of anonymous sources these documents ditto to secrets on accountable process for targeting and killing people around the world including u.s. citizens through drone strikes they all reverted to import since the alleged whistleblower faces up to fifty years in prison no one has ever been held accountable for killing civilians in drone strikes now the information that many people suspect to this matches is information that was revealed by reporter jeremy scahill regarding the u.s. drone strike program in which strikes were carried out in yemen somalia and afghanistan now what was revealed were classified government documents showing a fourteen year high drone strike campaign and how it suffers from a lack of critical information and how there is a high rate of almost uncalculated civilian deaths due to the. that often there is a preference to kill the victim rather than capture them and furthermore that lack
4:04 pm
of information m. is contributing to the rate of civilian deaths because there is an inability on the part of u.s. officials to extract valuable information from those apprehended and those in custody and those accused of terrorism the military is easily capable of adaption to change but they don't like to stop anything they feel is making their lives easier or is to their benefit but they have become so addicted to this machine to this way of doing business that it seems like it's going to become harder and harder to prove them away from it the longer they're allowed to continue operating in this way now the u.s. drone strike program which has been going on for over fourteen years has some rather ugly history there have been quite a few incidents of civilians being killed let's review some of what's gone on over the course of this program of the u.s. government.
4:05 pm
as a rest comes in the context of a wider crackdown on whistleblowers as folks may be aware julian assad is the co-founder of wiki leaks is facing extradition to the united states there are hearings coming up in which it will be determined whether or not he will be sent to the united states to stand trial on computer hacking charges so at the moment it appears that there seems to be a crackdown on those who leaked classified u.s. government information and people are putting the arrest of mr daniel hale into that context oh my thea agent in whistleblower county in reilly making information classified is less about ensuring people safety and more about preventing them knowing the truth. the there is supposed to be a law actually that prove. bents classification of information evidencing
4:06 pm
a crime and so a lot of the classification over classification is actually to prevent people from learning about crime which is completely illegal it's very difficult to explain to people because they don't understand that you're not supposed to be able to commit a crime and then be able to cover it up and we've gone so far and and in repressing freedom of street speech and freedom of the press that people really are pretty ignorant about all of the stuff going on except for the so cation oh you know documentary or book written or newspaper article with the help of whistleblowers and the government is definitely trying to stop all whistle blowing in all investigative journalism that we live on any insider information. about markets around the world took a dive off of the u.s. increased levies with two hundred billion dollars on chinese goods they recovered slightly and went straight talks between the two countries president trying says
4:07 pm

4:08 pm
actually take place well a lot of the stock market took its cue anyway and dropped quicker than a teenage boys. behave a little secret they tell you they make just as much money when the stock market goes down as when it goes up it's been a slow process but every year the cost is china really this is america. will be tight the u.s. is like the playground bully that his victim was going through and started lifting weights and just as an historic trade agreement between the world's biggest economies looked imminent decided maybe it won't change it and the old just keep the lunch money. the way you see the germans were doing because they're broke that . they broke their. broke the deal. they can't do that so they'll be paying we don't make the deal nothing wrong with take it in
4:09 pm
over one hundred billion dollars a year. just trying to get a better agreement and so are the chinese. one could call it the art of the deal going to risk thinking the u.s. economy a year before the next high level headed i'm trying now with a one hundred year president. obama to treat public opinion look probably just play the long game and start the whole negotiating trade for a very good with the next guy in the white house or gal probably guy any one thing remains that communism and nearly liberalism both worship the old. pragmatism and all our cheesy cats will continue to be made in china and you will still be able to buy it in wal-mart or an arm of them losing our weight. economics professor richard wolffe suspects donald trump is really playing politics
4:10 pm
than trying to improve the economy he will not get a shot in the arm for the only climate because this terrible war is costing the american economy virtually everybody except mr trump this is not a bad economics what this is about is political theater this is an attempt of mr trump to look like he's really organizing the world economy so that the united states gets a better treatment than it did before what mr trump said he wanted in the beginning were some adjustments in the relationships between the united states and china. these are just things are in all likelihood something that the chinese economy could easily manage and that the chinese political leadership is willing to give mr drop but only way mr trond also got the idea that you could force the chinese
4:11 pm
into making much more sounder mental changes in larry economic system this is a mistake on the part of the united states and it is something barely any case the chinese government and the chinese society will not do. human rights activists have been attempting to prevent france from sending any more arms to sign here arabia by filing lawsuits arguing the transfers and violate the u.n. arms trade treaty they say there's clear evidence that scientists have been using french weapons against civilians in yemen they claim the sales are there for illegal and render the micron into ministration complicit inside the war crimes riyadh denies ever intentionally targeting non-commital protesters gathered in normandy in northern france on thursday to voice their opposition after the government announced a new shipment. at this point we are protesting against the arrival of
4:12 pm
a saudi ship that is coming to collect a delivery of arms at the port of africa there is no doubt that france sells weapons used to kill in yemen and used by coalition led by saudi arabia i have no problems with saying that these weapons are made to kill book world war two you only more do it why do we continue to support countries that exhibit disrespect for international behavior and why do we continue to fuel the war the question should be put to the president of the republic and why is it only he can make such a decision he alone can commit friends to war he alone can so weapons to countries and every journalist an ngo share in there used on civilians. the ship never actually docked in from. according to tracking data it's not yet clear why that is nor where the ship is have it heading now pressure has been increasing on the french government since a group of investigative journalist published a sensitive military intelligence report last month it details the devastating effect that french tanks and artillery have been having in yemen here's our paris

4:15 pm
some french m.p.'s boy that's an oil they walked out of the assembly session for. oh it's the world's third biggest on the six border has so far resisted calls to halt weapons sales to riyadh it could also mean that france is in breach of the arms trade treaty that it signed the treaty aims to regulate the sale of conventional weapons to prevent them from being sold in the member state is aware of that used to target civilian populations given that the government has been warned how french weapons are allegedly being used in yemen some might claim it's turning a blind eye to the suffering while filling its pockets with saudi catch challenged even ski party paris. to america manville told us he believes the arms transfers reflect not at all well on the micro government the fact that paris supports a politically do sir the troll shifts

4:27 pm
be the one percent. we can all middle of the room six. million real new. hello and welcome to cross talk where all things considered i'm peter lavelle a recent report from the u.k.'s foreign office highlights in detail the persecution of christians around the world in the middle east the cradle of christianity christians face extinction why is it deemed politically incorrect to defend the west foundational religion.
4:28 pm
crosstalk in the state of christianity i'm joined by my guest fran home in copenhagen she's a theologian political commentator as well as founder of the you tube channel her own home talks in belfast we have david vance he's a political commentator as well as the editor of news media dot net and in london we cross to peter tatchell he is a human rights activists all right cross talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it ok let me go to evan first in copenhagen. it really took me aback after the fire at notre dumb the way they talked about the catastrophe in terms of turf them architecture but the fact that it was a place of worship for christians was very rarely mentioned also after sri lanka two luminaries that bill clinton and and i'm sorry brock obama and hillary
4:29 pm
clinton referred to easter worshippers well i don't know what that is no one worships easter but they were obviously avoiding the using the word christian in christians why is that go ahead. that's a very good questions because nobody has been able to and. so the answer this last couple of weeks is a big mystery why. i think you can say that secularism has seen chris tennessee as its enemy for a long time and democrats and leftists and also globalist lay only believe that mikell minorities women. homosexuals can be victims not christians white men and christians are evil people so to say so i think you can see in that regard it would be political incorrect to say these things but i think there is a deeper reason i've thought a lot about this and i was a million you tube video on it on my own channel and i think there's a spiritual reason for this i think globalists there actually and that's not
4:30 pm
something we talk about a lot in the political conference commentaries but i think that they have a sort of you know dark side and it means that they have a kind of hatred against christianity because what globalism really wants is to turn over the christian world order and implement and you believe system and they have to get rid of kristina to for this or to carry out this plan and i think that's why they don't do anything to do it to stop persecutions of christians and i think i actually think it's right to say that that there is a kind of demonic element in it because it's not because his room not rational because we have so many human rights movements there and it's really a mystery why nobody or everybody is really a sign.
