i am. united states airline is flying over the persian gulf could be misidentified and targeted by contention with a rat. became one of the topics of the agenda of russian and us former ministers told the russian it was all city of salt lake which were described as productive and. we're right now because raise the alarm over the pay defense secretary's amnesty proposal for british threat from immunity for criminal offenses sets of dangerous president. and the world's biggest tech companies pledge to crack down on violent content and unveil new rules in the wake of the christ

church mosque. a good morning sunday morning telling them here in moscow one and kevin 0 in this is r.t. international i'm here for next hour with a snapshot of the big stories we brought you over the last 7 days as a recap 1st the united states is warning the airline is flying over the persian gulf could be mis identified and targeted amid a spike in tension between the u.s. and iran washington's allies have also joined the latest front against iran to saudi arabia's foreign minister says his country stands for peace but will respond firmly and decisively if necessary the u.s. stance has been clear for quite some time. threaten their neighbors or spread instability or terror everywhere we go in the middle east it's a rare and or 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 iran we've been trying to do is to get iran to be him like a normal nation one of the fiercest opponents of the iranian regime is the u.s. national security adviser john bolton for he seems to be so keen on his job that according to an interview but from 2010 he would law in the name of national security caleb maupin looks at his track record 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 right yes 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. 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. jackal to carry this effort to for it and to topple the elected government of iran from a political perspective we have to see this is 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 the alleged provocations to justify the violence that they are getting ready to perpetuate. it seems to trump ministrations already briefed everyone on much growing a rainy and threat although partly not the us senate which looks like it's being kept in the dark of the plans. 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 a lot. and to demand answers by this administration about a wrong 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 involving the tender box of the middle east is no place to operate on impulse or whim. that the appearance this administration has created by lacking a clearly articulated strategy for the american people to know and that is the president this behavior is not acceptable while the tensions between the u.s.

and iran escalate and some of the media seem to believe washington is being forced into action in iran and syria i'm venezuela as examples but actually on this come there's no real evidence that iran poses a threat. this is not complete surprise probably the real threat on the ground is no different to what it was a year ago or 2 years ago but the levels of escalation politically have been going up every week since the last year they're trying to link various activities of iran undoubtedly iran is operating in the region at a heightened level but if you look at what happened in saudi arabia or the ships in the persian gulf the americans are trying to connect the dots and find a smoking gun which can say and iran responsible for all these but there is nothing official and that's why the british side of said this and all of the germans have pulled out their trainers and the americans are pulling some of their stuff out there is nothing concrete that say's iran is moving to words and action which would

lead to war. frying care and productive so the top diplomats of russia are in the u. west is quote the talk of the week the pictures you're seeing of now that took place in the russian resort of sochi both sides said they were ready to move relations forward though admittedly they said the still them c.r.y. on a number of crucial global issues with more on the meeting our senior correspondent . they've managed to talk about all their differences and they vanished honestly say to each other we disagree on this this is how we see it we disagree on this this is how we see it and booth have said that well that's good but we can talk 1st topic of course venezuela and venezuela we have disagreement i urge my russian colleagues to support the venezuelan people as they return democracy to their country. the united states and more than 50 other nations agree that the time has come for nicolas maduro to go he's brought nothing but misery to the venezuelan

people. and we hope that the russians support. form a girl will and democracy to steal and use them on democracy can be imposed by force the threats coming both from u.s. officials and the opposition leader. who is always reminding us of the possibility of military intervention have nothing to do with democracy. what both countries seem to agree on is that it's venezuelans that should decide what happens to their country also on iran much the same situation although not as radically opposed russia saying that it believes the iranian nuclear deal of 2015 is the best option going forward it's a system a platform a framework that's already established that will guarantee to the international community that iran isn't pursuing nuclear weapons the united states agreeing to disagree with most new mother we have many disagreements on iran now but the fact

that we've started talking on this issue gives us hope that we will be able to achieve agreements if both sides show willingness to do that which i made clear that the united states will continue to apply pressure to the regime in tehran until its leadership is prepared to return to the ranks of responsible nations that do not threaten their neighbors or spread instability or terror nevertheless both sides have said that you know they. we'll continue to talk they will. continue to work together on coming up with some sort of solution along with the other members of the u.n. security council the other signatories of the iran nuclear deal the north korean front for one that both sides have made progress that real progress has been made on making sure that the north korean the korean peninsula is denuclearized also we heard about meddling of course busy the russians saying that. sticking by what

they've said for a very long time now for years that they still haven't been shown any proof of what it is that russia has done there's been nothing in writing nothing concrete that the americans have given russians and said this is what you did and sergey lavrov said that there will be no conversation serious conversation is grownups and until that happens my pompeo on the other hand saying that the united states is willing to improve relations with russia that the orders come from donald trump perhaps the more radical factions those that have trumpeted about collusion and meddling perhaps they'll be marginalized and sideline sidelined so relations can finally improve. also believes that we've just gone the 1st woman to serve as the u.k.'s defense secretary probably more than scott a term of to a controversial start she truly are of amnesty international by proposing to limit the authorities ability to investigate and prosecute british veterans accused of war crimes while on active duty. it would be utterly disingenuous to have

a presumption of non-prosecution for abuse yet at the same time claim justice is being served british soldiers who break the law must face just like everyone else these proposals potentially set a dangerous precedent. the human rights group isn't the only organization concerned about the proposal either particularly as penny mordant now wants to extend protections to troops is served in northern ireland with all the controversy over you katie polly boyd now. the new boss in here has proposed a new law one that would presume soldiers innocent of any offenses committed throughout the course of a broad more than 10 years ago although that rule could have exceptions for example if new evidence of alleged crimes were to come to light it is high time that we change the system and provide divide legal protections to make sure the decisions how service personnel take in the battlefield will not lead to repeated or unfair

investigations down the line for the new defense secretary the new legislation is about making the system fairer and preventing what she called law fare repeated and unfair investigations against former soldiers this is not about preventing someone who's committed a crime from facing justice this is about stopping and industries that surrounds these processes which is not about the pursuit of justice i have at the iraq historic allegations team spent 7 years trolling through allegations of murder torture wrongdoing at a cost of 60000000 pounds to the taxpayer none of the claims resulted in a prosecution and in 2016 the unit was shot down speaker i competed 2nd term as you know or with the infantry or associated units i lost many men. and i was involved in fatality shootings i was investigated along with

others. the investigations were. aggressive and bloody awful to go through so well former soldiers and members of the military say that the amnesty doesn't go far enough that it needs to include northern ireland 2 human rights groups a concern that the government's desire to better protect its former and current servicemen and women will effectively place them above the law it's reported that there are around $150.00 investigations looking into alleged abuses by british soldiers in iraq and afghanistan the question is how the victims of those alleged abuses will ever get justice if these new proposals become law because so many detained so many killed the troops are the reason for the total destruction that the fate of those detained by them remains unknown to them you know. of course

some against an amnesty because of the systematic killing some of the blood they said since no one cares we have to demand our rides through international courts because we're just simple people who just can't go by as selves to get our horses hurt yani one other cause there is grave concern here that the crimes will be forgotten many people haven't received any compensation for the damage those who lost their homes or became disabled what they're trying to do is create an exemption from european human rights or for soldiers of fighters on the battlefield that's obviously really dangerous because obviously the battle is one place that is not so very wonderful people civilians and armed people and others who might not be after that whose human rights need to get those soldiers should have understood what they need to say just sr if you committed you or if we should you get punished if you are going to go so there shouldn't be a blanket amnesty or exemption for anyone anywhere couldn't find an easy way to say

that we will now bring all of these veterans back into the court and this will be our intention from. 5 major tech giants have committed to combat in violent content online after world leaders urged them to do so at a summit in paris a wednesday that meeting was convened in response to the terror attack in christchurch new zealand which was live streamed in the widely shared over facebook . terrorism and violent extremism are complex societal problems that required all of society response for our part the commitments we are making today will further strengthen the partnership the governments society and the technology industry must have to address these threats the tech firms including google microsoft have signed up to banning anyone then who shares violent or extremist content they've also pledged to follow up on material flagged up as terrorist more promptly too while new rules for life streams will be implemented in new zealand 10 people have been charged meantime for sharing the video of the christ church massacre to remind you

back in march a government killed $51.00 people in 2 mosques there the video was uploaded some 1500000 times on facebook in the 24 hours that followed the live stream we discussed 2 should shoulder a possibility for removing bad content should it be the platform should it be the users with their pretty activists build new media around this lionel and rights attorney jennifer braden. 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 monitoring or moderating in real time what these videos are and what 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 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 safe book 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 you need 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 copy there would have been any number of different videos being all being short simple to use lee and i see dealing with all those in real time would be almost impossible but

those were the perpetrators do you publish them is that report told do you allow that what about people who were 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 the technology could do it come on get you move get. there is a formal complicated challenges they have i do believe and i know that 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 the horrific thing about this is that we are now given social media giants like facebook and twitter a very very severe amount of power that was supposed to only be a spouse of the us government federal government and state governments under the 1st amendment and now it's as if social media giants and platforms like facebook or twitter have taken over the you know what you guys have your 1st amendment

governments you can't do anything we're the ones who dictate your speech now that's dangerous and that's something that needs to be consistently watched i don't want to hear anybody tell me that the technology's 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 it would be awful for anybody even thought it 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 so it's a good morning coming up the russian getting used as on their faces a decade in jail accused of smuggling fighter jet manuals also to move the stories that we relationship between the philippines literally trust.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to. let it be an arms race in. spearing dramatic development only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. time to sit down and talk. and those who don't are supporting cuffed and they have you don't care about me or they don't kill them or the. only thing the cure is about their own agendas. and so we might be bugged here for a long time you can be really a civil war that continues for for a long time. over the years i've talked to you about the inception. of the economy where we are becoming like the call the of insects. and that's all enabled by this 5 year old

surveillance pretty cool right. when his purse to this in the morning was timex in the russian embassy in washington alleges u.s. intelligence may have staged a provocation it's after a russian game designer was detained on suspicion of trying to export u.s. fighter jet manuals all the code faces up to 10 years in jail for smuggling arms documents and plotting against the u.s. government doesn't holkins picks up the story for you. 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 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 to should go 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 is. it could be used against the united states so titian co was charged in absentia back in $26.00 thieves although he was none the wiser and after traveling to ourselves 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 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 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 you 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. is the next to feud between the philippines and canada over waste disposal that escalated in the week with manila recalling its ambassador and staff wednesday so after color they refused to take 100 shipping containers of household waste it said to the philippines back in 2030 . that 3 call shows that we are. very serious and asking them to get back they're going to be otherwise. severe relations with them issue it was later discovered that wasted being mislabeled as containing recyclable plastic in 2016 a court in the philippines ordered the canadian company to take the rubbish back but it continues to languish in the landfill site nonetheless then last month the philippines president stepped in and escalated the standoff will declare war against canada we can take them down i'll return the trash just wait and see i will

advice canada that your garbage is on the way prepare grant reception eat it if you want to well back in 2017 the canadian prime minister said he was ready to try to work on a solution 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 foreign affairs honestly spokeswoman ellen says justin trudeau has failed to make good on those earlier promises. for a very long time to fill the king size being unfortunately the recipient of top seek ways including nuclear waste of from the united states in software western allies so this case has been lingering for quite long time it canadian one of those however i've seen a summer of 0.4 for the philippines for if you're president you going to target guess with no plans or just introduce here in the uk 2 years ago for the odyssey and saw me he promised that they're going to take back the price of garbage top 6

cars was left here lingering it's a 1030 and it to your scheme does not happen i mean you can even go over to say that this was a private deal between a canadian company and if philippine funk are part of the 1st get it is also good say that you know it's not only can they get spoiled is also whatever it was able to accept these back in 2013 the philippines this is the greatest diplomatic crisis could get the president the long term holidays philippines and canada. this made big news in the wake the north stream to gas project the pipeline is intended to pump russian gas to europe by way the baltic sea post an important milestone with over 50 percent of the construction would have completed we brought you exclusive access to one of those vessels out there laying the pipeline.

there you have it what's probably going to be the longest spaghetti strength in the world is making its way through the seawater and the case is quite. a lot. so we're protecting germany we're protecting friends we're thank both of these 1st and numerous other countries go out and make a pipeline here we're going. to be honest up front of the finger go to i mean we have probably all over the world political future of the 3 be a member of the end of the day if you want someone else we'll still work guess.

that's just a snapshot of some of the last 7 days thanks so watch a week every sunday here without international with me kevin though in today for me the rest of the morning i've got somebody. there's an 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 they keep economic issues facing russia emerging markets and the world thousands of business community members attend the forum to address today's vital issues. one just actual forum coverage on r.t. .

what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president i'm sure or somehow want to be preached. at it like to be for us it's like the 43 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the water using the. question. most of us are near you which because of the both issue of chicago that really one who can speak for through what you. you bother to queue up in for so cause. is up and as long as we're still you when you it's not even. for you when you go to use some of those are through but it gets on this list with this group that is opened.
