8:03 pm
were still inside would be arrested and charged with trespassing that's when the majority of the activists did leave but those 4 remain and it wasn't until today that they were officially arrested now so far they have been charged with interfering with a protective order and it's not clear if they are going to be facing any other charges now i show chew over the lawyer for the activist and she said that this raises a lot of concerns under international law because she argued that it goes directly against the vienna convention which states that the united states can not enter the venezuelan embassy without approval from the feel like to venezuela and government and so as of right now we don't know exactly what the condition inside that building is we do know that we have seen a very heavy police presence here which has included secret service the d.c. metro police and federal agents who have gone inside the building and conducted searches but we're still not sure exactly what the future is for this embassy the venezuelan foreign ministry has branded the police actions illegal while they're

8:05 pm
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 the activists have gained the attention of some prominent figures on wednesday civil rights figurehead jesse jackson arrived at the embassy to give food to the protesters it came after reports suggested authorities were preventing supplies from reaching the embassy has been to reverend jackson asked him what he thinks about washington's wall in venezuela. who runs the national mall move them under a rock rather than the national or human rights and so to terminator and we'll know so much from bono and people must protest that because the brother and the holding while in the same congress will not accept opinions from saying why don't you learn to. become involved with. people who would like

that was not right. and reconciling the sides in this case no one wins if he's as kind and does a room with reconciled sides grimace be a credible convene the u.s. cannot do it alone and replacing one government for another regime change is not an answer for democracy. u.s. army whistleblower chelsea manning is being sent back to prison just a week after being released the ruling comes after the former soldier refused to testify before the grand jury on her contacts with wiki leaks. the case doesn't make sense it seems kind of bananas in comparison to the evidence that we that we got out i will not cooperate with this or any other grand jury in march this year manning was jailed for 2 months for refusing to answer the grand jury's questions on wiki leaks and its founder julian assange manning was 1st to detain him to back in 2010 for sending thousands of classified documents to wiki leaks she was
8:08 pm
sentenced to 35 years behind bars but president obama later reduced to that term to 7 years former f.b.i. agent coleen rowley believes the latest sentence against manning is unlawful. the current administration did not like the fact that the obama administration pardoned her so this would be in a legal. punishment a 2nd punishment after already serving time for the case against julian assigned is just that week that they absolutely need chelsea manning's testimony in order to firm up those specious charges it's got to be one of the 2 things otherwise it makes no sense i have never heard of jailing a witness this launch she's already been jailed for 62 days for failure to talk to a grand jury and she's really putting on a very brave face in the face of this additional what i would think is illegal punishment to be destructo nian. chinese tech giant huawei has
8:09 pm
warned of a u.s. trade ban on the firm will harm americans leaving them lagging behind in 5 g. technology this comes after the u.s. department of commerce placed huawei on a trade blacklist over alleged security concerns are too strong to been ski reports from a technology conference in paris on the shockwave the dispute is causing. 5 g. is seen as being critical to the development of the digital economy in the next decade one of the major players is china's huawei but its presence in the field is a contentious issue and something that could cause fed the tensions between the e.u. and the u.s. a warning well don't trump has just signed an executive order declaring a national economic emergency the us president has empowered the government to ban the technology and services of foreign ad for
8:10 pm
a series deemed to pose an acceptable risks to national security including from cyber espinosa and sabotage it may no mention of whoa wait by name but it's clear who ate a dad's mean more in europe they seems to be a more open approach to the company the e.u. has demanded strict to security ahead of the road out of 5 g. in a bid to protect privacy and business secrets but it seems that that may not be enough to satisfy the u.s. so what is huawei doing to try and ease the concerns of the 38 stake military who are willing to sign no spy agreements with governments to commit ourselves to making our quitman meet the no spine no back doors standard so as the tech world cap is here in paris our worries at all say about huawei my opinion is that everybody is or is spying on us for our phones and computer so this is going to be
8:11 pm
an extent but i don't know i don't think we can do anything about it really think it's pro-business same with. mobile phone a just so we don't just know the the different elements of the older companies so i think it's the same so i'm not really scared we just have to be careful as users are going to respect to look tough. in france or in europe it would be ok australia and new zealand already. despite assurances walk away but with the stroke of a pen trump has seriously ramped up the pressure on european allies to follow suit and to walk away from 5 g. networks although the dutch and the germans said they will stand steadfast take a step back there was still a question over whether europe as a whole is prepared to trucks russia on the for light if it decides that.

for itself and in fact to some arguably while we could be the biggest winner with all this free of a. us presidential hopeful bernie sanders has accused national security advisor john bolton of trying to push the country into war with iran. the all. of the efforts right now to get us into a wall in iraq is the guy who was the architect getting goes into the war in iraq and that is. busy so you know i worry about provocations on the part of the united states in the past few days the u.s. has taken steps to counter what it calls a credible threat from iran the state department has ordered all non-emergency staff to leave iraq and the u.s. air force has sent b. 52 bombers to the region this follows stark warnings from the trumpet ministration about alleged hostile activity from iran. threaten their neighbors or spread instability or terror everywhere we go in the middle east it surrender ran around
8:14 pm
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 year of international terrorism behind every problem is iran 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 unearthed a 2010 interview where he admits he would lie in the name of the u.s. national security cable and ask people on the streets of new york for their views 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
8:15 pm
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's continues to seek nuclear weapons and intimidate peaceful people is that true noto true right could just that's false. so the one year period that we've talked about from the point where north korea makes to 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 that 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
8:16 pm
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 very little even a 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 that to her own 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 the year position then they will allege
8:17 pm
provocations to justify that violence that they're getting ready to perpetuate. well despite the supposed danger coming from iran the trump administration has not yet briefed the senate on the matter and some senators are seeking answers i would urge the state department and d o d to come down here and explain to us what's going on i've come to the fore in alarm and to demand answers by this administration about iraq about its policy we need to understand what we're doing the hearings that are done in secret do not for inform the american people of what's going on i demand to know why we have deployed. these american military assets we do not need another iraq weapons of mass destruction moment the tender box of the middle east is no place to operate on impulse or

8:20 pm
waste disposal has escalated with manila recalling its ambassador has refused to take back tons of garbage that it shipped to the philippines several years ago. that pretty. shows that we are. very serious and asking them to get back their garbage otherwise we're going to see verily with them. all the dispute began in 2013 when a private canadian company sent more than 100 containers of trash to the philippines it was later discovered that they had been falsely labeled as containing recyclable plastic when in fact they had contained household waste in 2016 a philippines court ordered the company to take the shipment back but that has not happened and last month the philippines president threatened drastic action against canada. will declare war against canada we can take them down i'll return the trash just wait and see i will advice canada is on the way prepare
8:21 pm
a grand reception eat it if you want to it is 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. foreign affairs analyst in manila says justin trudeau has failed to fulfill a promise he made to 2 years ago to take the shipments back. well for a very long time to fill the king size being unfortunately the recipient of tall seek ways so this case has been lingering for quite long time it canadian one of those however i was a summer of 0.4 for the philippines where if you're president you go to target because with no plans or just introduce us here in 2 years to go 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 lingered it's a 1030 and it to your scheme does not have been any comedian going to say that this
8:22 pm
was a private deal between the can call him funny and philip being conquered by the 1st get it is also good say that you know it's not only can they get small he's also whoever it was able to accept these back in 2030 in the philippines but clearly this is the group this diplomatic crisis. between 2 long term holidays philippines and canada. the russian embassy in washington 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 i like to shine co faces up to 10 years in jail for allegedly smuggling arms documents and plotting against the u.s. government turned his daniel hawkins picks up the story for us. conspiracy to smuggle classified documents and 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
8:23 pm
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 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 . 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
8:24 pm
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 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 here back in 2016 although he was none the wiser and off the 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 a leg work for many years have distanced themselves from the whole story eagle
8:25 pm
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 game 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
8:26 pm
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 he beat 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 is 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 front frankly if anybody should go to jail you think you'd be the
