as the u.s. ramps up pressure over iran senator bernie sanders accuses donald trumps national security adviser of trying to lead america into a war with iran just as they did with iraq. meanwhile the u.s. department of commerce puts the chinese tech giant weiwei on the trade blacklist after president trump signs an executive order banning the use of its equipment citing an alleged security risk plus also to come. at this point we are definitely not seeing any benefit it's just pain american farmers lament the impact to be escalating u.s. china trade war saying done from as promised benefits to the u.s. agriculture failing to materialize and

a russian games to faces up to 10 years in the u.s. jail for allegedly smuggling f. 16 fighter jet manuals to country he claims though he wanted to make his flight simulator game more realistic for prosecutors accuse him of conspiring against the u.s. . good morning just gone 9 o'clock here in moscow you're watching international now the 2020 presidential hopeful bernie sanders accused u.s. national security adviser john bolton of trying to push america into a war with iran in a way that is reminiscent of another american campaign. it is almost impossible to imagine that after the how or all of the war in iraq when we were large the bush administration or and one of the leading off war by the way was this

very same john bolton when recent days washington has taken many measures to counter what it calls a credible threat from iran the u.s. has ordered all non-emergency staff of its embassy in iraq is also sent b. $52.00 bombers and carries to the region media reports suggest this intelligence images of missiles on iranian boats in the persian gulf sparking phase they might be used against american troops although the images haven't been published despite the lack of clear evidence for a heightened threat from toronto washington continues to make loud noises about what. their neighbors are spreading instability or terror everywhere we go in the middle east it's a rare rare rare and major destabilizing influence in the middle east spread death destruction and chaos the leaders of iran are racketeers so as. death. and destruction behind every problem is

a wreck and what we've been trying to do is to get the world to behave like a normal vision but as for john bolton and his approach to foreign policy we did unearth some of his old interviews from 2010 where he talks about his professional to lie in the name of american national security in asks americans what they think about it. john bolton has a very important job keeping americans safe after all that is the job of the national security adviser and it's very important for americans to trust someone in that position john bolton wasn't always the national security adviser here's something he said before he got the job if i had to say something i knew was false to protect american national security i would do it so considering that john bolton has a pretty important position in terms of influencing the president on international matters you think it might be a concern if he says things consistently that turn out to be false we decided to

ask new yorkers. iran continues to seek nuclear weapons and intimidate peaceful people is that true not. true. just. so the one year period that we've talked about from the point where north korea makes the strategic decision to denuclearize is something that north and south koreans have already agreed to is it true or false this sounds like something that's not true because the north korean regime is still dangerous i. can see it right. i'm not running around the world looking for ways to create hostilities where it's just the other quotes pretty much speak for themselves there john bolton doesn't seem to have a gold record however that doesn't seem to put him in any danger of losing his job at least for now fulton is the point man the lead. jackal to carry those efforts to for it and to

topple the elected government of iran and while we can see the history in record of john bolton as being in favor of the wars from iraq to going as well that to iran and he's always and. imperial wars abroad so from a political perspective we have to see this as a reflection of the system itself the united states they want the oil in iraq and whenever a bully wants to take something out of your position then they will allege provocations to justify that violence that they're getting ready to return to a. chinese telecom giant while away has issued a statement warning u.s. authorities their latest move won't make america quote more secure or stronger adding that washington could end up having to pay more for lower quality 5 quitman

to softer the u.s. department of commerce place while away on a trade blacklist the decision comes hard on the heels of done with trump declaring a national emergency to protect national computer networks from what he described as foreign adverse sarees. foran of the series are increasingly creating on exposing vulnerabilities in information and communications technology and services which store and communicate vast amounts of sensitive information the executive order says that these foreign adversaries are a major national security threat of course china has said that there has been no evidence that while way worked directly with the chinese government which is what the u.s. is a very much concerned about this comes days after the u.s. and china fail to meet a trade deal now the u.s. has threatened time and time again countries who continue to use while way products and have said that they will row back on sharing intelligence with these countries australia and japan as so far have been to countries who have it here to the u.s.

and not using a wall way however just recently the u.k. and germany said that they would allow 5 g.'s huawei with limited access into their countries and the u.s. has already been angered by this information the u.s. bans this chinese company from doing business here in the u.s. and this can also delay then 5 g. in the race for attack iran's mused in the executive director of the eurasia center told us that the latest move by the u.s. against weiwei could end up affecting ordinary consumers on the humor. basically you potentially could see a slowdown in 5 g. f. lamentation those that are are to not go along with the hallway buying. that could then impact impact on of different things

a lot of different new innovations and things like that could be could be impacted and it just creates a big mess as far as trade goes and i think that consumers overall will end up paying a price that some some point in time whether whether not getting the type of industry and innovation that they were expecting or do stuff particularly in the 5 g. area or focus a you need to deal with this company and that's that and so really will shut down the competitive nature that we're supposedly advocating. for but stay with the u.s. china trade war because u.s. stocks to take a tumble over the past few days jeanne to you to attack terrorists imposed by beijing and also washington on each other and american phone this repair and play among bags who are losing at. the prices that we could get for so i has put it. close to $2.00

a bushel below breakeven which is. nobody can can make that last very long and stay in business. at this point we are definitely not seeing any benefit it's just pain. however you feel about. the chinese market and the way that they've treated. trade wise in the past it's it's a fact that the chinese market is is has what has made us profitable in growing soybeans hopefully in the end that the trade agreement is something that is very

beneficial to me as a producer here in the united states but also to the people in china. the trade agreement has to be win win or it's not going to happen last week washington hiked tariffs on $200000000000.00 worth of chinese goods beijing responded to with similar countermeasures from claims that america is actually benefiting from the trade war with china by cashing in on import taxes however the head of the soybean association does say that chinese tyrus will have a severe impact on the u.s. . so libyans are really been at the tip of the spear if you will and the retaliation from the chinese over the u.s. trade and chinese trade dispute but it certainly impacted corman of products from the u.s. as well as livestock particularly pork poultry and of course a host of other non agricultural products so you know this and you know the any

disruption in trade between the u.s. and any of its major trading partners will certainly have an impact on farmers from a soybean perspective keep in mind that china currently buys is about 60 percent of all the soybeans traded in the world 60 percent so with the u.s. that destruction in that relationship to china it certainly has a major impact on soybeans about one out of every 3rd row or or about a 3rd of the told us oil being brought to prickly would end up in china course today that's not happening. the russian embassy in washington alleges that u.s. intelligence may have staged a provocation that author russian games design it was detained on suspicion of trying to exporting u.s. fighter jet manuals wanted to shank ahead faces up to 10 years in jail for smuggling documents and processing against the u.s. government that hawking's picks up the story. conspiracy to smuggle classified

documents an undercover sting operation at a trail leading to russia. for a classic james bond movie but for a leg to shouldn't go it's playing out in real life not on the silver screen with no hint of glamour the russian citizen is set to go on trial in august in the united states the charges are serious conspiring against the us smuggling and violating almost export control laws and you know despite decades of stereotypes about russians missed the titian code isn't a secret agent or a spy many would label him a computer nerd a guy whose passion and job was developing airplane flight simulators like this one . according to the manuals he wanted to obtain were to improve his knowledge of the jets and build them into

a flight simulation game the problem is that despite the clear availability of such materials online only those with government licenses can export such manuals and because of u.s. sanctions on moscow sentimental russia is a big no no honestly it's a very strange situation i don't know why the united states would allow these minerals to be sold in the 1st place if there could be used against the united states so there's a contradiction there if you can purchase them in the united states foreigners come to the united states purchase them and read them and we really did assume that statute has a huge loophole which would suggest that. someone at some level of prosecution has done so titian co was charged in absentia back in 2016 although he was none the wiser and off the traveling to a festival in neighboring georgia early this year he was 50 detained and extradited

at the u.s. government's request eagle dynamics the software company were all legwork for many years have distanced themselves from the whole story. egal dynamics confirms that it was not involved in any way in the actions of its employee who acted in a purely private context and his own personal interests the company develops all of its d.c.'s aircraft again modules exclusively on the basis of publicly available information and has never used nor tried to taint any classified information at least the computer whiz isn't entirely alone the russian embassy in the u.s. has been following the case accusing u.s. intelligence services of carrying out a provocation the russian embassy in the u.s. is keeping a close eye on the situation surrounding the arrest of a russian national teaching crew who was extradited from georgia 5 charges have been brought against him including smuggling violating the arms export control act and conspiracy against the interests of the united states there are indications

that this is a provocation staged by u.s. intelligence agencies the claim isn't entirely without foundation after homeland security took an interest in titian co an undercover agent posing as a buyer of air play money alls contacted titian co to catch him out and gather evidence on his nefarious activities it seems that a software designer and play in the simulation enthusiastic warranted an undercover sting operation so while titian go faces 10 years or more in prison both simulators and fighter jet my nails are still available online across the world just be careful where you post them and who you talk to or line. if you beat the bay's allowing military type documents to be sold they really should have a full notice of the statute that it violates so that there's no doubt that somebody who's buying him. fully understands the consequences the american was

knowingly selling something to somebody who was a russian i mean that's really something that's you know not being. loyal to your country if the french frankly if anybody should go to jail if they could be the american and lucky should. what shall i say said i have found this out the u.s. is giving the green over its plans to create he said ami what have a look at why washington is upset over this just off the bat. seems wrong but i. just don't. get to shape out just become educated and engaged equals betrayal.

when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race in this spirit dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. hello again that the u.s. has clashed with the european union over the blocks plans to create its own army

president donald trump slammed the idea saying it does undermine the work of the parliament though recently voted in favor of allocating 13000000000 euros to a joint military budget as peter all of the reports it's been one of the foreign policy tropes of the trump presidency that european nato allies need to boost their defense spending i want europe to pay germany pays one percent they should be paying 4 percent. the paying one percent they should be paying even more than that european nations have stepped up their research and development into weapon systems away from the u.s. defense industry including a franco german plan to develop a new european fighter jet but this doesn't sit well with washington in fact the trump government has sent a letter to the e.u. foreign policy chief federica maka rini warning that the european defense cooperation all pascoe under 15 a 1000000000 euro european defense fund could fall

foul of existing transatlantic military agreements to draft european development fund regulation and permanent structured cooperation general conditions represented dramatic reversal of the last 3 decades of increased integration of the transatlantic defense sector it would seem that the european union haven't really understood what president meant by spend more money on defense reading between the lines it probably would have been clearer if he'd said by made in the usa the letter to mark a rainy also contained well less than subtle threat should the e.u. continue down this path it's clear that simulate reciprocally imposed u.s. restrictions would not be welcomed by our european partners now allies and we would not relish having to consider them in the future when you take a look at how much defense sales for european allies was worth to the us economy between the period of 2008 to 2018 it's clear to see why washington isn't keen on a move away from the status quo germany spent

a $1000000000.00 and took almost 2 thirds of its foreign military imports from the united states norway notes and a u. member of course but a member of the nato alliance on greece they spent almost one and a half $1000000000.00 while italy took over half of its foreign military imports from the u.s. and spent close to $2000000000.00 the white house will you would expect also be watching closely how. for a european defense force backed by french president tomorrow he will back drop it chancellor merkel here in germany develop the e.u. reaction to the letter from the united states to try and keep things calm. the european union is and remains open to u.s. companies and equipment with trump to be in europe next month we can expect more calls to boost defense spending as long of course if you buy from the united states peter all about the berlin. former vice president of the parliamentary assembly of

a less even even does say that nato would not be weakened by any. spread is 0 ongoing war effort on the side of you know just suits and their farm when we come. in your we have to be loyalists to go about this question the yellow t. is that there was always pressure on the side of soon. to. form us sources and this is not seeing you when it comes to all the looting in where nobody sees as it at least not. as a country is located in india china or even so much and for the nation and therefore it is policy inside the west and therefore it is the behavior of somebody who sees your there's a plunder and not as

a poison. san francisco has banned the use of facial recognition technology by police and other agencies saying that it endangered civil rights and liberty to move makes the city which has a history of being at the cutting edge of new tech america's 1st block it. we all support good policing but none of us want to leave in a police state. facial recognition technology uses video to identify a person from large databases or facial imagery but it can be used for marketing purposes too for example to deliver targeted ads on hoardings it's already being deployed at many american airports and large stadiums to them by a number of police departments we spoke with chris kits he's a founder of unseen encrypted internet and he thinks that it's hypocritical to produce and sell facial technologies but then restrict them in your own country.

you know it is that this is very powerful technology and the question is do you need safeguards for it or not if the police are going to use it to find criminals and then the question is what rights do people actually have to keep their face from being used it's only a matter of time before they abuse it and use it turn it into a police state and turn everyone into a criminal if you're selling something that's used to persecute people in some other place. you know and yet you you you make it illegal to do that in your own home country it's definitely a double standard to give you an example we caught cisco doing exactly the same thing with the communist chinese they were taking they were actually helping persecute people using their technology to identify people in china who were meditating who were being persecuted and yet they saw that same hardware all over the world so it's against the law in the u.s. to do that kind of thing but yet there this giant multinational corporation ends up

doing it in places like china it's completely hypocritical. the french capital is how you see the summit on countering online extremism in the wake of the crisis shootings new zealand well late is cold on tech giants to combat violent content. in christchurch call this a roadmap for action and it is placing to see the statement from 5 major companies committing all of them to a set of individual actions and collaborative actions as well this 9 point commitment. will lead i hope which is a physicist to fear the change that if successful will help to eradicate terrorism from the platform and tech companies are being urged to update that if used to prohibit violent content that's already been done by facebook in the wake of its failure to prevent a video of the christchurch massacre being shed anyone sharing violent content for that context will now be brought. oct facebook has also pledged 7 and

a half $1000000.00 for research on how to best detect band content well just to remind you back in march or gunman killed $51.00 people in 2 mosques in christchurch the video was uploaded some one and a half 1000000 times on facebook in the $24.00 hours that followed the live stream 10 people have been charged in new zealand over sharing the video but we discuss the issue of moderating violent content with previously activists bill new media analyst lionel and also anti terror expert jennifer bree. you have an army not just with facebook but with twitter there's an army of contractors employees and other people who are there to immediately get it off right away as has been stated this happens with people that espouse certain political opinions and other ideologies and so now we're talking about you know we're talking about getting off far more egregious things they have this technology not only do they have that they have hundreds upon thousands of employees of contractors of people whose jobs it is to

sit there and to see what's coming up and the moment something that is violent that is agree just that is horrific comes up they can shut it down and mediately monitoring no moderating in real time what these videos are more becomes and is funding some research to try and improve their ability to detect this in real time with sort of automated means which is absolutely necessary given the volume of content but the technology simply isn't up to it yet and that we need to go a long way to improve the technology so that we can have a better or do a better ability to moderates in real time using some form of all to motion the idea of somebody actually showing in broadcasting real time the slaughter of human beings i make it even simpler what if this was an actual real time live stream of child pornography nobody would be even debating this i would say you've got to fix this technology and now this is nothing to do with freedom of expression

nothing to do with the dissemination of ideas in no way does it violate and by the way very quickly facebook has the most incredible celerity what it comes to shutting down and immediately knocking somebody off who are spouses a poll a little opinion just by merely supporting somebody so i don't want to hear anybody tell me that the technology is not there or there's no way to monitor this because let me tell you something if this war is something that was contrary to the zuckerberg world view. would be awful for anybody even thought so they're dragging their feet it's nonsense and they know exactly what has to be done and they're simply not doing it to me to recognize the fact that a 1000000 copies were taken down effectively and we need to actually take a hats off to facebook the fact that it did take down so many different copies what do we do if there is an event that is not necessarily being filmed by the perpetrator but it's already being filmed by hundreds of thousands of other people

be it the olympics or the world cup or the whole joy any large gathering which is already being filmed i mean we had a pipe bomb go off at the atlanta olympics that killed 2 people and injured a 100 if we had had small phones back then there would have been any number of different videos being all being shot similar taney asli and i say dealing with all those in real time would be almost impossible but those were the pope perpetrators do you punish them is that report do you allow that what about people who are filming atrocities in miami more they're doing genuine reports do you allow that if it appears to be atrocious attacks and therefore we actually have to be slightly more realistic than saying oh facebook's got the technology it could do it come on get you move get a move out there as a far more complicated challenge in discussion we had here you here are not saying so that's how things are looking so far today we're back again there with more news and headlines in just over half an.

this in petersburg international economic forum is a unique event in today's business world. over the last 21 years the forum has become a leading global platform for discussing to keep cannot make issues facing russia emerging markets and the world thousands of business community members attend the forum to address today's vital issues. watching our special foreign coverage on r.t. . welcome

to the alex salmond show where we're continuing with an occasional c.d.'s on the people behind the top 10 political blogs in the country today to see my exclusive interview with controversial blogger craig marti his story has taken him from the heart of the u.k. foreign office establishment becoming one of the most radical political bloggers across these islands in the show last week we are tired of the glittering prizes of a career in the foreign office were snatched away by his determination to oppose the abuses of human rights and its beck a stand where he was posted as the then youngest you can boss a terror in the diplomatic service but the moment they tried to blackmail me i'm going to go.
