i was going to go. by the way where is the flying here. a former u.s. government security analyst is facing up to fifty years in prison after being charged with leaking classified documents on u.s. war bad tactics to the press. global stock markets take a hit. went through with a hiking tariffs on chinese goods us president says that the levees could be lifted but that she's in no rush. and human rights activists attempt to block branches on shipments to make them as concerned bro that the weapons are being used against the yemenis simply and. won't eat us. why do we

continue to school countries that exhibit disrespectful international behavior why do we continue to fuel the world i have no problems with changing these weapons are made to kill. it's one o'clock here in moscow and you're watching international line from our headquarters with me a day or two to 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 challenging whistleblowers under the espionage act must stand his. well he's thirty one years old his name is daniel hale and he's a former u.s.

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 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 not this

was their source who was arrested the intercept was not common all matters relating to the identity of anonymous sources these documents detail 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. to that often there is a preference to kill the victim rather than capture them and furthermore that lack

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.

as a rest comes in the context of a wider crackdown on whistleblowers as folks may be aware julian assigns 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 former f.b.i. agent and whistleblower he says making information classified is less about insuring people safety and more about preventing them knowing the truth. the there is supposed to be a lot actually that prevents classification of information evidencing

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 in and in repressing freedom of sprit 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 the u.s. increased levies with a two hundred billion dollars on chinese goods they recovered slightly and to trade

talks between the two countries president trump says the negotiations will continue but still believe hot and cold in an update on twitter. over the course of the past two days the united states and china have held candid and constructive conversations on the status of the trade relationship between both countries in the meantime the united states has imposed tary of some china which may or may not be removed depending on what happens with respect to future negotiations says it will retaliate and has rejected u.s. accusations that have backtracked in the trade talks the latest edition of in case you missed it the trade tensions. in case you missed i'm historic trade deal between the usa and china could be in trouble. don't cha threaten china with trade tariffs again an arthritic disaster because that's what i'm paid to do and then i detest how many dissolved as i predicted

compared to how many actually pay well it's a lot of the stock market anyway and dropped quicker than a teenage boy. behaves a little secret they tell you that they make just as much money when they don't market goes down as when it goes up it's been a slow process but every year the cost is china three it is american that will be tight the u.s. is like the playground bully that nurses his victim has gone through and started lifting weights and just says in his story trade agreement between the world's biggest economies look him in the side and maybe change it from the old just keep his lunch money they just saw the way you see the cherubs 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 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 and trying now with its one hundred year president in the hands of the chief public opinion look well let me 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 me are 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 wolfe suspects donald trump is really playing politics

than trying to improve the economy. he will not get a shot in the arm for the only climate because this tarot war is costing the american economy virtually everybody except mr trump this is not a guy 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 adjustments are in all likelihood something that the chinese economy could easily manage and that the chinese political leadership is willing to give mr trump but only way mr trump also got the idea that you could force the chinese

into making much more fundamental changes in america economic system this is a mistake on the part of the united states and it is something that in any case the chinese government and the chinese society will not do we. human rights activists have been attempting to prevent france from sending any lawns to saudi arabia by filing lawsuits are going the transfers violate the arms trade treaty they say there's clear evidence that scientists have been using french weapons against civilians in yemen they claim the sales of their for illegal and render them a call as inspiration complicit in the war crimes riyadh and denies ever intensely targeting non-commital to gather in normandy in northern france on thursday to voice their opposition after the government announced a new shipment. put this on here protesting against the arrival of

a saudi ship that is coming to collect a delivery of warrants at the port of la. there is no doubt that france sells weapons used to kill in yemen used by coalition led by saudi arabia i have no problems with saying that these weapons are made to kill book won't continue only more to 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 the only he can make such a decision he alone can commit friends to war hero and console weapons to countries and every journalist in n.g.o.s and sharing their used on civilians but it seems the ship never actually dealt in france. according to tracking data it's not yet clear why that is you know where the ship is heading now the 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 effects of french tanks and artillery have been having in yemen here's our paris

correspondent charlotte to penske. it's a war that's left thousands dead and pushed some ten million people to the brink of starvation now it looks like more french weapons could be about to deepen the humanitarian disaster that is yemen wednesday it was confirmed there would be a minute shipment of weapons to saudi arabia which is led coalition bombing in parts of yemen for more than four years to keep. arms delivery according to a commercially greenman two issues made a few years ago. an emergency procedure has already been filed to try and stop the sale of french oems to riyadh and its coalition partner the united arab emirates it was made by human rights organization of the evidence emerged showing french weapons were being used on the front line and possibly use in war crimes in yemen we called for the suspension of arms transfers to the countries of the coalition

led by saudi arabia and the united arab emirates responsible for war crimes and even crimes against humanity in yemen the sense of urgency is driven by the worsening humanitarian situation in yemen a report by the united nations development program estimates the number of deaths at more than two hundred thirty thousand by the end of twenty nine thousand including more than one hundred forty thousand children under five if the conflict continues to intensify despite a classified and do your m a military note with feeling french weapons are being used along the saudi yemen border and that friendships are serving in the book a good many ports exacerbating the suffering paris continues to deny its role. government has never deny day existence of french weapons in yemen and the finance minister florence pearlie said it and i'll say it again today there is no proof that these weapons are being used against civilian populations so enraged was some

french m.p.'s by about ten zero zero zero they walked out of the assembly session for once the world's third biggest exporter has so far resisted calls to hold and sales to riyadh's 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 if the member state is aware of it used to target civilian populations given that the government has been warned how french weapons are allegedly being used in yemen so might claim it's turning a blind eye to the suffering while filling its pockets with saudi hatch. altie paris and shown this to america mondale told us he believes the arms transfers are a fact not a at all well on the mark on the government. the factor that paris supports a politically this regime is already shocking you have to know that french is an

older state. the french public opinion is not so really aware of what is happening in africa with the new colonialism the french is waging a war to kate's france abounds the endless stream of weapons of mission and software that would be kingdom is constantly acquiring and so what is new is that this arms delivery comes in full controversy on tuesday are all a left wing lawmakers expects it to departments in protest and that's that's pretty new. there ok relations between the u.s. and north korea are taking another dive president trend has hit talent n.p.r. and latest missile tests and cast doubt over its ruling as to unfold diplomatically the relationship continues but we'll see what happens i know they want to negotiate they're talking about negotiating but i don't think they're ready to negotiate.

genuine peace and security of the country are guaranteed only by a strong physical force capable of defending its sovereignty the recent test on the korean peninsula saw the launch of two missiles they were apparently short range ballistic rockets fired from the northwest they landed in the sea of japan the fresh drills come just a few days after north korea took everyone by surprise with a similar test last friday that launch broke a moratorium on tests which had lasted more than five hundred days north korea describes the drills as regular and defensive but there's been plenty of reaction from its neighbors japan's claim pyongyang has violated un resolutions with its actions while china has been calling for peace on the peninsula. to move on with no god would you do that we hope that all parties can continue working towards a resolution of the issue through dialogue and making positive efforts to achieve the dealer ization that. we heard from dr packard

a senior politics lecturer at the bath university in britain who believes the u.s. and north korea have hit a dead end in their bilateral negotiations. this is a new indication of a shift of the north korean government after one and a half years of silence both parties have realized that each other's bottom nice and decent bottom lines he no way could be reach a consensus in other words they find at the difference a soul even saw them to bow and then on one hand north korea we class the united states to stop sentient being and west on the other hand you know distaste continue and proceed to ask north korea to talk or dismantle the nuclear and missile program both sides have to take responsibility but i think now the situation has taught us one thing more crystal glee clearer than before. sending a clear message to the world that now the situation has changed your secretary of

a conversation with the russian foreign minister a conversation with the russian president it is going to be a busy one for my pump ale in this country and i can tell you that there was a rather long pause in direct contacts between top american and russian officials and this trip probably is a sign that the two sides are realizing that the rizzle lot of catching up to be done in fact they have already begun doing it last week vladimir putin and donald trump war on the phone for about an hour and a half on monday this week the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov had a quick meeting with secretary of state mike from pale in finland but perhaps that was just a rehearsal before a much more serious much more lengthy round of diplomacy and if you watch the news in the last few weeks for you it won't be a problem at all to realize to

a guess what is probably going to be up for discussion to ron's decision to stop playing by some of the rules of the so-called iran nuclear deal venezuela needs to be sorted out ukraine's got a new president and north korea's kim john has been to russia to meet a lot of more potent nuclear tests on the korean peninsula and so on ad. sure you are rob said in finland on monday it is time to get busy with real politics. the russian president has swapped his official attire and donned his ice hockey gear for a garner match in the saatchi night hockey league but a mere putin scored eight goals as his team won fourteen a seven he was also joined on the ice by the country's defense minister putin has been playing in the league since twenty twelve and before faceoff this friday which
