as the u.s. ramps up pressure on iran the democratic senator bernie sanders accuses donald trump national security adviser of trying to lead america into a war with terror and just as happened with iraq. games designer faces up to 10 years in a u.s. prison for allegedly smuggling f. 16 fighter jet manuals out of the country he claims he wanted to make his flight simulator game on the list take prosecutors accuse him of conspiring against the u.s. . chinese telecom giant wall way it warns the u.s. its latest move against the company won't make america safer but will hinder the development of 5 g. networks in the country that's after washington with the firm on a trade a blacklist banning the use of its equipment. at this point we are definitely not

see any benefit from it it's just aimed at american farmers lament the impact of the escalating trade war between washington and beijing. promised benefits to us our culture are failing to materialize. you're watching a large international coming to life in the russian capital where it's just around 4 pm welcome to the program. u.s. 2020 presidential hopeful bernie sanders has accused a national security adviser john bolton of trying to push the country into war with iran and a way reminiscent of another american campaign. the author of the efforts right now to get us into a war in iraq is the guy who was the architect to getting goes into the war in iraq and that is john bolton so you know i worry about provocations on the part of the

united states washington 2nd numerous measures in recent days to counter what it calls a credible threat from iran the u.s. has ordered all non-emergency staff out of its embassy in iraq and also said be 52 bombers and air carriers to the region media reports suggest there are intelligence images of missiles on iranian boats in the persian gulf sparking fears they might be used against american troops but the images haven't been published this by the lack of clear evidence for a heightened threat from tehran washington continues to make loud noises about one . threat their neighbors are spreading instability or terror everywhere we go in the middle east it's a rare ran around major destabilizing in influence in the middle east spread death destruction and chaos the leaders of iran are record here's world's largest finance ear of international terrorism behind every problem is a rare and we've been trying to do is to get iran to be him like

a normal nation as for john bolton and his approach to foreign policy we unearth a 2010 interview where he admits he would lie in the name of u.s. national security kim often asks americans what they think about that. 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 i guess that's false.

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 that true or false false this sounds like something that's not true doesn't seem to fit right. i'm not running around the world looking for ways to create hostilities well it's just the other quotes pretty much speak for themselves that john bolton doesn't seem to have a golden record however that doesn't seem to put him in any danger of losing his job at least for now. you would lie in order to preserve the truth if i had to say something i knew was false to protect american national security i would do it fulton is the point man thank you very little. jackal to carry this effort to britain 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 it's all wrong and he's always in favor of 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 iran 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 perpetuate. the russian embassy in washington d.c. says u.s. intelligence may have staged a provocation that after a russian games designer was detained on suspicion of trying to export u.s.

fighter jet manuals an egg to shank a faces up to 10 years in jail for allegedly smuggling arms documents and palming against the u.s. government and hawkins 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 u.s. smuggling and violating almost export control laws and you know despite decades of stereotypes about russians is the titian co 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 sending them to 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 so it really does seem that the statute has a huge loophole which would suggest that. someone at some level of

prosecutions and so titian co was charged in absentia here back in 2016 although he was none the wiser and after traveling to ourselves. festival in neighboring georgia earlier this year he was swiftly detained and extradited at the u.s. government's request eagle dynamics the software company where leg work for many years have distanced themselves from the whole story eagle 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 gain 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 was 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 tisha go faces 10 years or more of prison both simulators and fighter jet miles are available online across the world just be careful where you post them and who you talk to online. if e-bay is 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 be. loyal to your country if frankly anybody should go to jail if they could be the american and not he should. chinese telecom giant huawei has warned us that there are days their latest move won't make america quote more secure or stronger adding that washington could end up having to pay more for a lower quality 5 g. equipment china's foreign ministry for its part slammed washington's latest move as disgraceful and unjust that's all after the u.s. department of commerce placed wall way on a trade blacklist the decision comes hard on the heels of donald trump declaring a national emergency to protect america's computer networks from what he described

as a foreign adversary for an adversary is are increasingly creating and exploiting vulnerabilities in information and communications technology and services which store and communicate vast amounts of sensitive information. over the past few months washington has been trying to persuade allies to shun away equipment threatening to limit intelligence sharing with those failing to comply there britain one of america's key allies in europe is refusing to ban the chinese company out of hand saying it still hasn't made a decision a similar response came earlier in march from germany china economy expert professor benjamin chiles says one way might actually benefit from american stance . poly actually has an unblemished record of over 30 years in 170 countries punishing one corporation with those solid springs waves of fear to article creations the us my left behind with the using the as equipment

available in the world and americans are forced to buy spend see if technologies and even in few more in fewer technologies and in fact in the longer one. americans my choose to go to china to hatch their technologies in china you know the to sell to china how we should do what polly has been doing in the past 30 years that deployed its speaks for itself and in fact is some odd good bully while we could be the biggest winner we've all this free of a tightening and staying with the us china trade war us stocks have taken quite a tumble over the past few days due to tit for tat tariffs imposed by beijing and washington and american farmers are finding themselves caught in the middle. the prices that we could get for our so i've been has put is. close to $2.00

a bushel below breakeven which is you know if nobody can make that last very long and stay in business. at this point we are definitely not seeing any benefits 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 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 heights tariffs on $200000000000.00 worth of chinese goods beijing responded with similar countermeasures trump claims america is actually benefiting from the trade war by cashing in on import taxes the head of the soybean association now fears the chinese tariffs will have a huge impact on the u.s. . so libyans are really been at the top of the spear if you will in the retaliation from the chinese over the u.s. trade in 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 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 buy is about 60 percent of all the soybeans traded in the world 60 percent so when the u.s. has a disruption in that relationship to china it certainly has a major impact on soybeans about one out of every 3rd row worth or about a 3rd of the told us oil being brought to italy would end up in china course today that's not happening. u.s. german relations heat up as washington threatens to impose sanctions on all companies and volved and the russian gas line project on that after a short break. what

holds a sense to something. they put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected . so when you want to express intrigue or something want to be rich. but you'd like to be close it's like the fog in the morning people are. interested always in the lives of. their city.

welcome back a feud between the philippines and count about over a waste disposal has escalated with manila recalling its ambassador and consuls that's after canada refused to take back tons of garbage shipped to the philippines back in 2013. that the cause shows that we are. very serious and asking them to get back they're going to be otherwise. severe relationships with them the dispute began in 2013 when a private canadian company shipped more than 100 containers of trash to the philippines it was later discovered they had been falsely labeled as containing recycled plastic when in fact they contained household waste in 2016 a philippines court ordered the company to take the rubbish back but it continues to languish in a landfill the move comes months after chinese authorities refuse to accept recyclable waste from the u.s.

forcing it along with other western countries to rethink what they do with their trash will declare war against canada we can take them down i'll return the trash just wait and see i will advise canada that your garbage is on the way prepare a ground reception eat it if you want to it is now theoretically possible to get it back but there's still a number of questions around who will pay for it where the financial responsibility is where the consequences are as. live now to richard he derian foreign affairs analyst in manila welcome to the program now how big is the problem of trash stacking up in the philippines. well for a very long time to the king size being unfortunately the recipient of top sequenced including nuclear waste from the united states in software western allies so this case has been lingering for quite long time between 80 and one of those however as being a summer of 0.4 for the philippines part of your present road to go to terror

because when plans are just introduced us here again no luck 2 years ago for the odyssey and saw me he promised that they're going to take back the trash on the garbage top see the car was left here lingering since 2030 and year to year scheme that has not been happening but also understand that this is also taking place in the broader context of a bucket for getting food the beans and canada over political issue including kind of those kind of this criticism of deter this human rights records and drug war which eventually led to the philippines canceling the purchase of bill helicopters from chattanooga so this is also a good think you can might remember detect is also a good friend of china and not a country that is also picking a fight you canada over it why we should arrest of one of the senior if you still it's an awful lot of weight there and of course also china's owner used to get garbage disposal from western countries so he's also what alignment of the philippines we get more countries like china and other countries for standing up to

the u.s. and also this is about president they're just environment of stance this is the person who shot down to philippines own number one to lose this nation were rockets per why they be too sensitive generating one dollar every year he shut it down for 6 months in order to clean up the area so this is not only geopolitics this is also about environment present if there is a sense of you the. counter terror to have given a 15th of may deadline for canada to take the trash back are you surprised that that date was missed. yeah i mean of course from the canadian point of view it's there any comedian going to say that this was a private deal between the can a canadian kompany and if filipino counterpart enough we're getting there's also say that you know it's not only the comedian it's all these also whoever was able to accept this back in 2013 in the philippines so the question is what is going to be this international obligation and what they're going to do liberal. protocols

around the return of the garbage and that it takes a long time anybody can to get a basket or of all of them one thing all said that they're going to form a special commission to take charge of this but this is not going to be resolved over time but finally the playing in governance moving sight the president heard all device on is a way to launch in 2 words accelerating the process for clearly this is the greatest diplomatic crisis cool kid young president that between 2 long term holidays philippines and canada. has long been known for his rather colorful rhetoric but did he go too far by threatening to declare war against canada over this issue. of course i mean this is part of the very much 2 thirds of the playbook of you know talking softly that he could also use annoyance and anger at canada but you know many people say that well if he's really that soft how come you know when it comes to china we've stepped it up in size a lot of territorial disputes a serious problem serious problems he suddenly gotten very nice some people are also saying that there is some kind of

a shock you call christie it's not you know if he trashed up in president various rhetoric the candidate that this is also perhaps more a person of bribery don't really exploration of the philippines interest towards china that remember china that it's hosting hundreds of thousands to the u.s. where either residents are working there so this is also so yes they are also going to cause additional injuries of those going to be a supplier to be adversely affected in any event of a food it's all up between the 2 countries richard a dairy and foreign affairs analyst in manila thank you for joining us on the program. tensions between the u.s. and germany are on the rise over the north rim to a gas pipeline but berlin says it won't be cowed by washington's threats you think of it america is acting in this case like germany is its colony this is something i don't want to happen and we need to prevent this at all costs. irlen is currently hosting an energy conference where the ears approach to russian gas high on the

agenda there are reports from the event being hearing here at this gas conference in berlin is that it's europe germany is where in particular needs a reliable source of energy that comes not from coal not from nuclear that the idea here in germany is to get away from well with nuclear by 2022 in coal by the end of 2030 s. but the end of the 2030 s. gas they say is the only way forward however what we are seeing is big opposition to that particularly coming from the united states senator ted cruz of texas has put forward a bill which could see extra sanctions put in place on those companies that are currently building the nord stream 2 pipeline in the baltic sea and it's not just from them that we've heard this criticism also the ambassador for germany for that from the united states here in germany richard grinnell issued a warning that's well pulls no punches sanctions are coming if you continue to be involved with north stream to from american point of view that by blood is not just drones boards and gas but president cruise sanctions cerise well grinnell isn't the

only u.s. ambassador that's been having an outspoken say on this the u.s. ambassador to the european union gordon sunderland also suggest that the europe should suggest he directly said that europe's should source its energy from democratic sources not democratic ones pointing a finger directly at russia while he was saying that now i spoke to 2 close ernst who's a member of the bundestag heavily involved in the committee that looks into north stream to from here in germany and he said statements like this were absolute rubbish that's. what angers me most here is that german companies and other european companies that want to build this pipeline being threatened i'm told they won't be able to do business in the u.s. if they take part these are extra territorial sanctions that go beyond the u.s. they go against international law and in my opinion a. unacceptable away from the men and women involved in the gas industry itself

there's also opposition political figures here we spoke to one of them who said well this isn't about geopolitics this isn't about securing the e.u.'s energy this is all about business when it comes to the us i consider this comment for not just states quite ridiculous because we all know that. the best christmas man in the balt. like always learning from the west once we have learned from their marriage comes that you always source from the cheapest source and always source from the most reliable source and liquid natural gas is neither cheap nor reliable and that is why it's of course in determine interest to source mainly from russia what we're hearing from here at the gas conference in berlin is that no matter what pressures put on by the united states this is a deal that is going to get done it's a project that's going to get finished it may well end up upsetting some people along the way but billions of already being invested in it is required for germany

to meet its energy needs as it looks to move away from fossil fuels like coal and also move away from nuclear power they're going to have to replace that with something and they saying here that they have to replace it with gas. that's our global news update for this hour but don't forget you can always head to our website are to dot com for the details on all the stories and many more. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to sort of go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i want to the new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people and i saw one on t.v. if. i'm going to talk about

football not be or else you can think i was going to go. by the way ways of the fly here. laughs just. so over there i want to do things that show could be faced with really be very true your place go away go to. management. and they on they they when they have to then they have a fattening. skim you need to feel the. sun yeah i'm them what do you how to become

a stuff like your body looks local just. never talk to me you might have. to make a living that would measure the cost more next time. all. a lot of welcome to well to part of the an event full of wrapping up of the moeller investigation may have cleared the american president of treason and collusion allegations but certainly not of his critics determination to get rid of him is

american system still capable of anything settling the ideological scores to discuss that i'm now joined by its hog. a best selling author and management consultant says it's a great pleasure talking to us and thank you very much for your time. now as i was watching the coverage of the reports what struck me is that some people on the american left seem to be just as traumatized by trying not being fallen to be an american every agent as they were traumatized by him being elected did it come as a shocker to you that he after all he's not a puppet. i don't think that people really believe that he was. wrong look at the cover. the this is. the but. spot.

that they don't feel that their relation. is a very good sign of the strength of the american system because in spite of all the pressures for him to. trump the routine as much as possible he gave a real honest i thought it was also a very interesting window into the american psyche. because i mean to as russians the idea that we could somehow not just influence but put in the american president into the white house it was absolutely unimaginable is the united states really still emotionally volatile as it as it comes across on the cable channels i don't know whether this is.
