broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is our 2 international incheon thomas to have you with us for us the police have arrested 4 activists who are staging a sit in at the venezuelan embassy they were protesting against the expulsion of president diplomats last month and u.s. interference in the country blevins as well as enter the building around 930 this morning but it wasn't until about 1115 that we saw those 4 activists being taken away in police transport vehicles now those 4 are from a group of activists who have been occupying the embassy for more than 3 weeks now and they say that their goal is to hold the building for the government of venice president nicolas maduro despite the fact that the united states has recognized opposition leader one as the country's interim president now on monday we saw that police posted a notice on the door of the building and they said. any of the activists who 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 the 1st cashier's order and it's not clear if they are going to be facing any other charges now i show chew over 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 brenda and the police actions illegal while the

appointed ambassador to the u.s. so the embassy has finally been liberated medea benjamin from the peace group code pink claims the arrests are a violation of international law. we got an urgent call from the people inside at 915 this morning that the police had broken down the door and that they were going to be arrested we denounce this is a violation of the vienna convention speakers the group has been there with the permission of the venezuelan government i was just at the u.n. yesterday with embassador to the u.n. who was calling on the u.s. to sign a protecting power 3 minutes 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 the activists have gained the attention of some prominent figures on wednesday civil rights figure had just jackson arrived at the embassy to give up food to the protesters it came after reports suggested authorities were preventing supplies from reaching the embassy we spoke to reverend jackson and asked him what he thinks about washington's role in venezuela. rather than the national normal then we were under a rock rather than international law and human rights and certain terminations within those must have been there and people must protest that because the brother and the holding while in the same congress will not accept opinions from the same while the ones. who become involved who are not. true people who would

like revenue of the people or will one or both leaders in the common claims doesn't move the drummer to move. all through it. because it was and i am was for you know we get the oil in venezuela there's other review all of them been through those 4 days away from southerners 3 weeks away we were right they were reason and i had. a great nation was one to the bahamas fear to do. this so i'll sit in the room was in the freedom as the good neighbor boy in that with. over the regime wall to jesse jackson's charitable act was criticized by the appointed ambassador to the u.s. who accused him of supporting human rights violators reverend jackson explain to us why he decided to help the protesters. who the mother was because america could

though and that was not right but what is in reconciling this in this case is no one wins if he is as kind and disagree with reconcile sides grimmest be a credible convene the u.s. cannot do it alone and replacing one government for another regime change is not an answer with democracy. u.s. army was a blower chelsea manning is being sent back to prison just a week after being released to 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 detained back in

2010 for sending thousands of classified documents to wiki leaks she was sentenced to 35 years behind bars but president obama later reduced the 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 fanuc that the obama administration pardoned her so this would be an illegal. punishment a 2nd punishment after already serving time for the case against julian assange is just that weak that they absolutely need a 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 a jailing a witness this long 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 this struck home and. chinese tech giant wall way has warned of a u.s. trade ban on the firm will harm americans leaving them lighting behind in 5 to technology this comes after the u.s. department of commerce placed wall way on a trade blacklist over alleged security concerns were to show dubinsky reports from a technology conference in paris on the shock waves the dispute is causing. probably that g.e. 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 for 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 u.s. president ties empowered the government to ban the technology and services of

foreign adversaries deemed to pose an acceptable risks to national security including from so i bet espinosa sabotage it may not mention qual way by name but it's clear. who it's a dads meanwhile in europe they seems to be a more open approach to the company the e.u. has demanded strict to security ahead of the rollout 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 over but its technology we're willing to sign no spy agreements with governments to commit ourselves to making our quitman to meet the no spying no back doors standard so as the tech world gap is here in paris how worrisome 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 an extent i don't know i don't think we can do anything about it really think it's pro-business same with oil company mobile phone a we are just we don't just know the the different element of the older companies so i think it's the same so i'm not really scared we just have to be careful as you are going to respect a lot of noise in france or in europe between it would be ok australia and new zealand have already followed it troubles me despite assurances from walk away but with the stroke of a pen trump has seriously bumped up the pressure on european allies to follow suit and to find the way from 5 g. networks although the dutch and the germans said that they will stand steadfast and kate step back and there was still a question over whether europe as a whole is prepared to encourage truck traffic on the 4 lights if it decides the

the past 30 years let the products speak for yourself and in fact some arguably while way could be the biggest winner we've all this free advertising. us presidential hopeful bernie sanders has accused national security adviser 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 john bolton 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 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 here of international terrorism behind every problem is a ring 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 parties came up and asked people on the streets of new york for their friends. 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 people is that true or not oh true i could 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 definite and seems 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 bolton is the point man thank you 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 and record of john bolton as being in favor of the wars from iraq to going as well that to our 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 your position then they will allege provocations to justify that violence that they're getting ready to perpetuate. well despite the supposed danger coming from iran the trumpet ministration has not yet briefed the senate on the matter and some senators are seeking answers i would urge the state department and the to come down here and explain to us what's going on i've come to the fore in the law. 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. the american military assets we do not need another iraq weapons of mass destruction moment that tender

box of the middle east is no place to operate on impulse or whim. that's the appearance this administration has created by lacking a clearly articulated strategy for the american people to know and it's that is the president this behavior is not acceptable. if you had between the philippines and accounted over ways to 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 the recall shows that we are. very serious and asking them to get back their garbage otherwise we're going to see we're relations with them 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 recycled plastic when in fact they contained household waste in 2016 the 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 a grand reception even 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 in foreign affairs analyst in manila says justin trudeau has failed to fulfill a promise he made 2 years ago to take the shipments back. well for a very long time i was being unfortunately a recipient of waste so this issue has been lingering for quite long time canadian

waddles however i was in a sour point for for the philippines for if you're president you go to target because with no plans or just do it here in the uk 2 years ago for the odyssey and saw me promise that they were going to take back the price of garbage. was left here lingering it's a 1030 and it to your scheme does not happen i mean you can even go to say that this was a private deal between you can convert me and it phillip be defunct or get it is also good say that you know it's not only that he gets all these also whoever it was able to accept these back and he does in the philippines but clearly this is the great this diplomatic crisis. to launch your holidays philippines and canada. the russian embassy in washington says a u.s. intelligence may have staged a provocation that is after russian games it designed it was detained on suspicions

of trying to explore u.s. fighter jet manuals are they good to go this is up to 10 years in jail for allegedly smuggling arms documents and plotting against the us government parties don't you hawkins picks up the story. conspiracy to smuggle classified documents and undercover sting operation on 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 no despite decades of stereotypes about russians missed the titian code isn't a secret agent or a spy i 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 prove his knowledge of the jets 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 foreigner coming 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 is unfair so titian co was charged that absentee are back in 2016 although he was none the wiser and off the traveling to our south a 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 more chills 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 a load. 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 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 an airplane manuals 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

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 you think you'd be the american and lucky should. log is struggling to cope with a wave of civil and religious unrest since the easter sunday bombings that left $250.00 dead and an incident captured on camera has made matters worse this unverified footage it shows a man dressed in an army uniform apparently turning away as dozens of people prepare to launch an attack on a muslim owned building the government says it is investigating the matter recent days have seen a new wave of anti muslim riots resulting in one fatality mosques have been

attacked and. set on fire while muslim shops have been fire bombed 78 suspects have been arrested meanwhile the trayvon can government is under pressure for failing to restore law and order since last month's massacre. that was saying anything we heard a loud bang and we fainted and that's all i remember. i wish to express my heartfelt solidarity with the christian community affected one

it was a prince with all the victims of such cruel violence. southeast asia analyst to our melinda says the rapid spread of propaganda and rumors online is a key factor in the ongoing unrest the fact of the matter is that they most wins on the ground are very raw and it simply cannot control that emotion they did with a question for muslims as well and we're also talking about the history of violence in the country you expected that with modernity to build a lot of this into this interconnectedness on this infamous on highway people have not moved away from these primordial identities but that hasn't happened unfortunately what we're saying is that in the hands of bigots in the hands of radicals in the hands of conservatives. in the us on highways used to

properly a specific kind of matted to a specific kind of propaganda and unfortunately we don't have control over that on like what we call the hard in the past where the police can come knocking on the door people lord no as to exactly what is going on. the u.s. and germany are locked in a dispute over the nord stream it to gas pipeline berlin says it won't be cowed by washington's threats. when you think of it america is acting in this case like germany is its colony but this is something i don't want to happen and we need to prevent this at all costs more than is currently hosting an energy conference with the news approach to russian gas on the agenda reports from they have. been 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

in germany is to get away from well with nuclear by 2022 and cold 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 a blow is not just drones boards and gas but president cruise sanctions cerise grinnell isn't the only us ambassador that's been having an outspoken say on this the u.s. ambassador to the european union gordon sunderland also suggested the europe should even 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 to the member the bundestag heavily involved in the committee this looks into north stream to from here in germany and he said statements like this were absolute rubbish doesn't which is what angers me most here is that german companies and other european companies that want to build this pipeline are being threatened i'm told they won't be able to do bill. as 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 are completely 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 from the united states

quite ridiculous because we all know that american brothers are the best pieces man in the balt and like always learning from the west once we have learned from the americans that you always source from the cheapest source and always source from the more strew liable 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 been invested in it 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.
