continue or you will do it it be why do we continue to school countries the exhibit disrespect for international behavior and why do we continue to fuel the war i have no problems with saying that these weapons are made to kill. our broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our international i'm john thomas glad to have you with us. right a former u.s. national security analyst has been charged with giving classified documents on u.s. warfare tactics to a journalist he is now facing up to 50 years in prison for his alleged role in the revelation in the press freedom organization reporters without borders has criticized in the legal moves against daniel hale saying that charging whistleblowers under the espionage act must and here is our tease killed them. well he's 31 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 50 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 ditto to secrets on the council process for targeting and killing people around the world including u.s. citizens through drone strikes they all reverted to import since the alleged faces up to 50 years in prison no one has ever been held accountable for killing civilians in drone strikes now the information that many people suspect of 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 14 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 14 years has some rather ugly history on 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 coleen rowley says making information classified is less about insuring people safety and more about preventing them from 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 skin 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 case no 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. president trump has ordered the u.s. trade representative to start the process of imposing tariffs on a remaining $300000000000.00 worth of chinese imports that is in addition to the

increased levies on $200000000000.00 of chinese goods were took effect on friday it comes after the president earlier claimed that china in the united states hound constructive talks. over the course of the past 2 days the united states and china have held candid and constructive conversations on the status of the trade relationship between both countries though both sides plan to continue to go. beijing has pledged to retaliate to the u.s. moves china has rejected u.s. accusations it backtracked on its earlier. in the talks the latest edition of in the case you missed it probably breaks down in a very fun way the trade tensions. in case you missed on his story 7 trade deal between the usa and china could be in trouble. don't cha threaten china with trade tariffs i guess an arthritic. because that's

what i'm paid to day and i noticed how many as i predicted compared to how many actually pay well it's a lot of the stock market took it anyway and dropped quicker than a teenage boy. they have a little secret they tell you that 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 that is china we have this american downgrade that. the u.s. is like the playground bully that his victim was going through and started lifting weights and just as in his story trade agreements between the world's biggest economies looked imminent and decided maybe. just to keep his lunch money. the way you see the tariffs were 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 $100000000000.00 a year. just trying to get a better agreement and. well 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 100 year president of the hounds to cheat 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 near liberalism 1st class hip hop the old. pragmatism and or launch pad 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.

or an economics professor richard wolfe suspects trump is really playing politics rather 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 about 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 jewel. human rights activists have been attempting to prevent france from sending any more arms to saudi arabia by thought filing lawsuits arguing the transfers violate the u.n. arms trade treaty they say there is clear evidence the saudis have been using french weapons against civilians in yemen they claim the sales are therefore illegal under the micron administration complicit in saudi war crimes denies ever intentionally targeting noncombatants protesters gathered 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 arms at the port of africa there's 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 but won't want 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 france to war he alone can so weapons to countries and every journalist an ngo sharing their used on civilians. but if it seems the. the ship never actually docked in friends because it never did this is according to tracking data it is not yet clear why it is nor where the ship is having 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 effects that french tanks and artillery have been having in yemen here's our paris correspondent. it's a wall that's left thousands dead and pushed some $10000000.00 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 4 years. the arms delivery according to conditionally greenman to issue was made a few years ago. an emergency procedure has already been filed to try and stop the sale of french arms 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 230005 the end of 29000 including more than 140000 children under 5 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 world. government has never deny day existence of french weapons in yemen and the fence

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 2 enraged was some french m.p.'s by lots of noise they walked out of the assembly session for. the world's 3rd biggest on this exporter has so far resisted calls to hold weapons sales to riyadh it could also mean that france is in breach of the arms trade treaty that it signed that treaty aims to regulate the sale of conventional weapons to prevent them from being sold in the member states 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 have. challenged even ski party paris. french journalist america malviya believes that

the arms transfers do not reflect well on the mccraw government the fact that that's paris supports a politically the circuitry regime is already shocking you have to know that french is an old. state. the french public opinion is not to really aware of what is happening in africa with the nuclear and there is and that french is a waging a war to cage france abounds the endless stream of weapons of mission and software that would be kingdom is constantly acquiring and what's what is new is that this arms delivery comes in full controversy on tuesday all are left wing lawmakers expects it's a poly mention protest and that's that's pretty new and. rocky relations between the u.s. and north korea are taking another dive president trumpeted out of paying yang's the latest missile test and cast

a doubt over its willingness to engage 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 guaranteed only by a strong physical force capable of defending its sovereignty the recent test on the korean peninsula saw the launch of 2 missiles they were apparently short range ballistic rockets fired from the north west and they landed in the sea of japan now the fresh air 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 $500.00 days north korea described the drills as regular and defensive but there has been plenty of reaction from its neighbors japan has claimed has violated un resolutions with its actions while china has been calling for peace on the peninsula. we.

can continue working towards the resolution of the issue through dialogue and making positive efforts to achieve the denuclearization of the peninsula we heard from dr wong a senior politics lecturer at 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 has realized that each other's bottom nice and despite i'm 9 the no way could be rich a consensus in other words they find it their difference a soul even saw them to bow and then all my one hand north korea we crass the united states to stop center naming and west on the other hand you notice they continue and persist 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 korea than before is sending a clear message to the world that now the situation has changed. u.s. secretary of state has some big meeting scheduled in moscow all of those it details after a short break this is. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president or injury. or some want to be rich. that's it right to be close that's what the 43 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of. course it may.

seem wrong but. just don't call. me. yet to say proud these days educate and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground. welcome back this is r t international now some big meetings have been confirmed on friday it is it now official that have the u.s. secretary of state might pompei i will meet with the russian president and foreign

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 jong un has been to russia to meet them are potent nuclear tests on the korean peninsula and so on as surrogate said in finland on monday it is time to get busy with real politics. the russian president's want to see official attire and donned his ice hockey gear
