10:08 am
and that is. busy so you know i worry about provocations on the part of the united states washington taken 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 it's also sent b. $52.00 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 now the images have not been published this might be a lack of clear evidence for a heightened threat from tehran washington continues to make loud noises about one . print their neighbors are spread 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 financial year of international terrorism behind every problem is
10:09 am
a ring and what 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 when earth a 2010 interview where he admits he would lie in the name of u.s. national security have often asked 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 the turn out to be false we decided to ask new yorkers. iran's continues to seek nuclear weapons and intimidate peaceful
10:10 am
people is that true or not oh true i would 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 that sounds like something that's not true little thing over the right. i'm not running around the world looking for ways to create hostilities well i mean 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 bolton is the point man the lead men and the
10:11 am
jackal to carry this effort 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 it to iran and he's always in stray room 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 game designer was detained on suspicion of trying to export u.s. fighter jet manuals. faces up to 10 years in jail for allegedly smuggling arms documents and parting against the u.s. government and you can fix 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 mr 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
10:13 am
. 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 they were if they 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

prosecution has done 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 a leg worked 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.
10:15 am
is keeping a close eye on the situation surrounding the arrest of 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
10:16 am

other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race is also a spearing dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.
10:21 am
welcome back to our breaking news anti-war activists have confirmed to r.t. that they are currently being evicted from the venezuelan embassy and washington d.c. after being told by police they were trespassing we now go live to medea benjamin who is co-founder code pink for more on this now medea you of course been following this and been at the embassy quite a bit as of late what more can you tell us about the situation. well as you can see from the pictures that you've been showing it is full of police they have bomb sniffing dogs there and we got an urgent call from the people inside it one through 15 this morning that the police had broken down the door and that they were going to be arrested and so the arrests are under way right now we denounce this is a violation of the vienna convention it's because the group has been there with the permission then as well in government i was just at the u.n. yesterday with the ambassador to the u.n. who was calling on the u.s.
10:22 am
to sign a pretty tempting power dream inch with venezuela so that both the embassy in washington d.c. and the u.s. embassy in caracas would be protected the venezuelan government has said it is not given permission for the opposition representatives to enter the building and that there is still time to negotiate a solution that would be of mutual agreement to both these governments but it will be a tremendous step towards greater conflict with the u.s. if indeed the representatives are allowed to go into that embassy now why did the activists ignore the police warnings and the addiction notice that they were trespassing on embassy property because that was an illegal notice it was not signed by anybody it had no address on it no stamp on it or anything and because the legitimate government is the one in power recognized by the u.n.
10:23 am
that's the lender of government and the idea of government had given permission to us to stay in the embassy so it was an illegal order and we don't have big legal orders as i understand it it's not exactly clear where the activists the 4 who were saying in the embassy where they are right now but do you know what they plan on doing next or what code pink in general plans on doing next. yes our understanding is that they are in the embassy but under arrest and we will continue to be protesting essentially calling on that embassy to be left empty not be handed over to the opposition and for this projecting power remit to be signed we'll continue to do rallies outside the embassy and we don't consider this chapter over yet but as well as u.n. ambassador has not confirmed talks are underway between the opposition and government how will the protestors act if common ground is found between them well
10:24 am
we think that that is what we've been there for the entire time these past 5 weeks to come to common ground we don't want to see u.s. intervention in venezuela we don't want to see a civil war in venezuela we want to see negotiations and if the 2 governments can negotiate a way to protect these embassies and as a u.s. citizen i'm very concerned about my embassy in caracas and they can start talking about other issues and dial down these this crisis lift the economic sanctions and find a way to help the people in venezuela and come to a negotiated solution india benjamin co-founder of code pink thank you for joining us on the program to discuss this breaking news thank you. a feud between the philippines and canada over waste disposal has escalated with manila recalling its ambassador and consul after candidate refused to take back tons of garbage shipped to the philippines back in 2013. that. shows that we
10:25 am
are. very serious and asking them to get back they're going to be otherwise going to see very 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 recyclable 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 last month the philippines president adopted a stronger stance by pushing a deadline for kind of that to take the trash back and threatening war. 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
10:26 am
is where the consequences are as the move comes months after chinese authorities refused to accept recyclable waste from the us forcing it along with other western countries to rethink what they do with their trash richard hadrian foreign affairs analyst in manila says justin tried to has failed to fulfill a promise he made 2 years ago to get the rubbish back. well for a very long time to be unfortunately a recipient of tall safe ways including nuclear waste from the united states software western allies so this case has been lingering for quite long time canadian whiles however as a summer point for for the philippines for if you're president you going to turkey because with no plans or just entered the us here in 2 years to go for the odyssey and saw me he promised that they're going to take the trash off the garbage top so you are left here lingering sister 1030 and it to your scheme that is not happy i
10:27 am
mean you can even call them to say that this was a private deal between the can and i get called by the end of phillip being conquered by the 1st get he is also say that you know it's not only that he gets all these also whoever it was able to accept these back in 2013 the philippines clearly this is the greatest diplomatic crisis president to launch your holidays philippines or canada that's a global news wrap up for now but i'll be back at the top of the hour with the latest thanks for tuning in. to make this manufacture consent to stick to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. at the prime of their
