to address today's financial issues. special foreign coverage. testing the limits. production of low enriched uranium tensions with the u.s. . also ahead. violent demonstrations are up once again in haiti with the government accused of links to a must occur in the country's capital. the united states extends its offer to countries willing to switch from russian. made.

for am in san francisco 9 pm in canberra to in the afternoon here in moscow this choose they may the 21st welcome to r.t. international our top story around ses it's quadrupling its production of low enriched uranium pushing the limits of the floundering 2015 you can or deal it's a fresh escalation with the united states which holds all of the agreement more than a year ago driving to suspend some of its commitments earlier this month. the country's capacity to enrich uranium has been increased without adding any new change or centrifuge the design information related to these has been submitted to the international atomic energy agency this comes against the backdrop of increased tensions between the united states and iran and also the continuing unraveling of

the nuclear deal that was signed back in 2015 if iran wants to fight that will be the official. never threaten the united states again. iranians have stood tall for millenia while aggressors all gone economic terrorism and genocidal taunts won't and that's why those days of increased tensions that was sparked by the american administration sending bombers and an aircraft carrier to the persian gulf now they did this because of what they see with bricks from the ukrainian side it comes as the president says he is open to holding crisis talks with international partners but that iran will not respond to any kind of threats any kind of hostility and any kind of attempts at coercion we welcome to go situations because we do not negotiate with a party that behaves like a bully and takes a knife out of his pocket and forces us on talks we do not hold such negotiations with anybody the american position has been clear for quite some time the leaders

of iran are rocketeers the world's largest financier of international terrorism behind every problem is already what we've been trying to do is to get the iran to behave like a normal way should the united states has been applying a maximum pressure campaign against iran ever since the nuclear deal began to collapse last year and at the same time it's been imposing crippling sanctions earlier this month iran did warn that it would begin enriching uranium to high levels if the remaining signatories did not manage to offset it or in some kind of way protected against the american measures now the europeans have been trying to do this but it's far from clear whether one. they'll succeed washington claims that he ran is looking to develop nuclear weapons and this is a claim that iran has consistently denied at the same time the nuclear watchdog the international atomic energy agency has never found iran in contravention of any kind of stipulations in the deal what we've seen happen is an increase on the

iranian side in production by some 3.67 percent of enrich uranium a spokesperson for the iranian nuclear agency has said that this does not mean that iran will increase the number of centrifuges in use which is one of the stipulations in the nuclear deal but however we could see that within weeks iran will reach that 300 kilogram limit and this is a stipulation in the deal so ultimately what could happen is that iran could soon go beyond the stockpile limitations which are specified in the nuclear deal now publicly both iran and the united states say that they don't want to go with go to war with the other side but the the big concern is that any kind of miscalculation at this particularly precarious time could see the whole situation going out of control well u.s. president trump says he's ready to negotiate with tehran but only when quote they are ready mr trump also once again warned against making what he calls provocative

actions or threats. we have no indication that anything has happened or will happen but if it does it will be met obviously with great force well that. we'll see what happens if they call it certainly to go but that's going to be up to them i don't we want them to call if they're ready we already know pre-crisis situation right now and a lot depends on the political will and the determination of the europeans to join russia and china are you have to signatories to the party in order to preempt this what i'm getting into a full blown crisis is a very critical situation and we are at a crossroads basically of peace and war you've got iraq president in the white house and surrounded by ideas all bear hugs that thirst for another war we did ron and you know. saudi arabia and israel are iran's right

walls that may instigate a false planted accident and saw 14 order to lure mr trump to war with iran despite is the stated intention of limiting him self to economic warfare which is really as bad as water itself. has turned tension to haiti where the government is suspected of links to a must occur in the country's capital last november dozens of people including women and children were brutally killed and tortured haiti's biggest ally the us has so far been silent on the accusations violent anti-government protests have been raging in the capital port au prince for weeks.

the situation in haiti is escalating a population that is largely unemployed without electricity and without money once the president out. there today the country has reached an animal the population can no longer accept the situation. where no one is out at night now there's reduced night life know all the streets. you just don't know what are you going to run into you just can't go anywhere now in addition to their other grievances the protesters have a link to the government one of the worst massacres in the recent history of the country.

they were shooting and i was running to save my life it was a terrible massacre. they were drastic in police uniforms with masks on their faces that they snatched people and killed them the united nations has launched an investigation now in march of $104.00 members of the u.s. congress signed a letter to the u.s. secretary of state calling for an independent investigation as of yet there has been no answer. to support thorough and independent investigations into both the corruption allegations that sparked the current crisis and the human rights violations including extra judicial killings that have reportedly to. taken place but the trump administration seems confident in the aligned regime we have always underscored in there are statements as well as our diplomatic conversations our belief in the determinacy of heat is institutions and its elected officials so far

there has been no comment from the u.s. state department on the massacre while washington routinely condemns governments around the world for allegedly violating human rights when it comes to haiti the white house is unusually silent the u.s. has relied on a policy of gang violence and guatemala and el salvador and honduras in haiti and numerous other countries so this keeps the people in fear it keeps them in desperation and they can rule from the washington d.c. by having these gangs in the paino public is do the work that the us demands duchamp of ministry in the pool of those who didn't know the people of haiti a little the public regime is. and we're beginning. to be demonstrated in haiti that does not do you live in

haiti so president of about it. ok i want to turn your attention to another story the u.s. state department is planning to offer more money to countries who are willing to switch from russian to american made arms it's an expansion of an existing program . takes us through. defocus in charge of sales for the u.s. military industrial complex take an internship somewhere that sells these free samples work just as fine in the international big guns business look what america does as it turns out if it gets assurances from european countries that they'll ditch and stop buying weapons made in russia or china free samples won't take long

to arrive there's an entire government program under which these countries will get or already have just under $200000000.00 worth of hardware the idea being we can put in some u.s. grant military assistance they would then put in some amount of partner military funding of course the free batch should be followed up by proper contracts plus there's going to be maintenance upgrades and so on nice $1.00 0 let's face it try before you buy is worked for everything from clothes to kiss medics and the program is being expanded to other continents. appreciating customer loyalty is key remember when the killing of a saudi journalist in turkey could have led to international boycotts against the biggest buyer of uncle sam's toys back then the american president was quick to set

things straight is the best equipment in the world but if they don't buy it from us they're going to buy it from russia or they're going to buy it from china or they're going to buy it from other countries so the saudi contracts should stay the way they are safe and sound. nato member turkey one's got too carried away trading with russia or so says the american government and thought it was a good idea to buy russian missile defense systems you will regret that came the message from d.c. . we've. clearly warned turkey that its potential acquisition of the 100 will result in a reassessment of turkey's participation in the f. $35.00 program. and risk other. potential future arms transfers to turkey. as well as lead to potential sanctions that

someone say fair competition you know if you want to be rich thinking about fair is really something you can ditch. there's a united nations treaty that aims to make sure the global bad guys don't get their hands on conventional weapons and hardware even if they can't afford it it's called a.t.t. barack obama signed it a few years ago donald trump though did it his way and said this in april my administration will never ratified the. trade treaty and i am officially announcing today that the united states will be revoking. the effect. of america's signature from this badly misguided treatment when taking our signature back a champion gun seller just once to make sure nothing can stop them from adding new

names on the buyer's list even if there are perhaps a few issues with the reputation. it's come to light that britain changed its rules and how it obtains and shares intelligence with allies according to the ministry of defense is the latest guidelines information can be exchanged even if there's at risk detainees could be mistreated or tortured. well there remains a serious risk of torture a minister should be consulted but the presumption would be that we will not proceed unless ministers agree that the potential benefits justify accepting the risk and the legal consequences that may follow or visa documents were obtained by an advocacy group through the freedom of information act they show that besides ministers having more powers the new policy also allows them to pre approve a list of high threat individuals about whom information may be shared while all

this stands in contradiction to the government's previously stated policies on torture which clearly the u.k. personnel must neither take part or encourage instances of torture abuse or mis treatment the so-called consolidated guidance procedure serves as a rule of conduct for the ministry of defense as well as the u.k.'s intelligence agencies m.p.'s in response to that call on the recently appointed secretary of defense to explain the latest changes in torture guidelines. these laws and norms are there not just to protect the enemy they all say protect our own policy and activities in this area in accordance with both domestic and international law we cannot overrule the law nor can ministers be advised to. the law or disregard the law. or former u.k.

ambassador and human rights advocate craig morrey sees the ministries actions make the country complicit in torture. no intention of cutting off those intelligence sharing agreements they will just come out again with some more mealy mouthed language about not condoning or not encouraging it plainly illegal in terms of international law the united nations convention against torture program for talks of complicity and torture and by continually and pretty well on a daily basis of taining intelligence from the torture chambers of countries like saudi arabia or bahrain herb united kingdom is plainly complicit the united kingdom no longer clears it was acting illegally in international law the united kingdom has become a state. coming up can children be raised on a vegan diet doctors in belgium don't think so will bring in more opinion of valor

children on the can diet even suggesting they should face prosecution for depriving them of essential nutrients the assessment comes from the country's royal academy of medicine which has dubbed the dietary choices on ethical. it is not medically recommended and even forbidden to subject a child especially during periods of rapid growth to a potentially destabilizing diet requiring frequent supplementation and control these concerts nutrition is similar to a form of treatment that is not ethical to impose on children. a vegan diet excludes all forms of based products that includes eggs and dairy now according to the study around 3 percent of belgian children stick to this lifestyle vegans insist their diet has a number of benefits including increased energy levels as well as lowering blood sugar and cholesterol levels but. belgium's royal academy of

medicine say most parents are not able to provide ongoing medical supervision for their children which they say this restrictive diet regime requires now an increased number of health complications amongst children prompted the report back in $27.00 deen a belgian couple received a suspended 6 month sentence after their 7 month old baby died of malnutrition doctors blame the parents choice to only feed the child vegetable based on the whole issue of the diets for children how social media fired up to. kiss my vague and. my kids being vegan since conception on is perfectly healthy child abuse veganism should be a choice left to mature humans meanwhile here in backwards belgium what's next you bunch of not to doctors sterilize us young children need milk butter and some meat along with vegetables as an adult you are free to make a choice but don't feed feed into young children it's criminal who should be. so is

it right or wrong to patrol run on a vegan diet we put that question to work yet. i don't think it's necessary to penalize it's necessary to count to give a good advise and to take into account the preferences of the parents the more restrictions you used the more. risk there is of deficiency if you're over the age of 16 or 18 depending on the country you're living in you can make whatever decision you want i personally to a low carb high fat diet but i know i shouldn't let my children do that because they need the carbohydrates to grow no parent has a right to abuse their child or no parent has a right to put their child in danger and this is clearly put in them in danger there are certain sentiments now you cannot get on a vegan diet parents don't make their children the deacon isn't is a protected ethical orientation at the level of human rights and all parents who

live their lives according to deep convictions have the right to raise their children according to those moral convictions and if children are suffering neglect then this ought to be dealt with very precisely as child neglect regardless of the ethical orientation of the parent vitamin b 12 without dirt. need supply mentation because it's not present in an active form in any plant based nutritional source be careful about fighting the twelth also in the mother if she has a vacant for a long time it's possible that she doesn't present symptoms of vitamin b 12 deficiency or while breast milk may not contain sufficient vitamin b 12 for the little child there are lots of belief communities that

feed their children even actually terry and that the chains. the buddhists they they are vegetarian and feed at. so i really don't understand why the men the medical profession is talking the piquant community on the street reagan reached out the strict vegan diet you do not get the vision they take these are super ones you cannot get certain simmons' in particular be 12 so denying children that kind of meat and dairy i think it is a fool of child abuse i don't really want governments to get involved in family life but if we can she courage them has the belgian surry then the state just over responsibility when it comes to child abuse and that's what i think it is. tension has flared between police and the fascist activists in the italian city of belonging year on monday the anger erupted over

a visit by the leader of the far right new force party the head of european parliamentary elections. i. cry police tried to contain protesters who attempted to break through a police cordon the party's leader who identified as a fascist in past statements is seeking reelection to the european parliament in the fall which kicks off this coming thursday i'm. not. can we still protect our personal lives on the line or is it already just too late with the lot of data gatherers and fighting for our info box on the college report delves into about.

what else so wrong why don't we just don't call. any. yet to seep out of this. they become educated and it gains from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. this is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the streets. what happens to her family and daughters in florida the mother daughter is buried in a cemetery it really messes with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the police needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on than him and what happens in court be

the. shock shock as far as society we feel. we don't know just from. the end of this trial unfortunately you too will still not know childress. this is max kaiser this is the kaiser report you know over the years i've talked to you about the in sexualization of the economy where we humans are becoming like a colony of insects be easer and and that's all enabled by this 5 g. enabled surveillance state pretty cool right catch up on this well everybody knows

that there's a surveillance state everywhere and they there is an alleged end to end encryption everywhere on this is protecting you and everybody is moving actually to encrypted messaging and that's what even facebook is trying to do they're getting rid of facebook essentially and they're now and crypted messaging service and telegram groups and all these sort of things that's where everybody's moving so we're going to talk about that but 1st i want to talk about. something in this big data economy and this hyper unsexed who has ation sort of a khana me because this was a story it seems like a just a typical normal story but it's quite profound rare moon bear spotted living in korea in no man's land dotted with landmines so that the d.m.z. that little militarized zone between north and south korea where it's a no man's land nobody goes in there and it is 155 miles long 2 and

a half mile wide barrier and it has become an accidental ecological oasis after being left undisturbed for almost 70 years since the korean war of the 1950 s. ended with an armistice and the division of the peninsula and a rare moon bear which was believed extinct was spotted on camera in this is own and the point is that we're going to talk about some of the. all the wise would be extinct creatures including a mosque deer that also lives in this town and this is the only safe haven is littered with landmines but at least you get to survive while you know mixing d.m.c.a. with they almost extinct moon bears got my attention i'm really curious now where this is going so we have near extinct animals living.
