why don't we simply don't destroy sparge the rest of the world is hardly affected at all. 6 people are confirmed dead and hundreds more injured in post-election protests which erupts to mean to me jand capital of jakarta. beyond those who are fronts terrorist groups at times syrian army positions in syria the new province using tanks and vehicles filled with explosives. and the u.n. hands the united kingdom a defeat in a dispute over the cheik off violence in the indian ocean calling on london to cede control of the territory within 6 months.

to. a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me nicky aaron. 6 people have been killed and 200 injured during a protest in the capsule of indonesia after the results of the presidential election was announced. we were. was. was. cranky cranks was. 60. protesters clashing with the police. really writing project our own mother tiles

and the police have been trying to disperse the crowd and firing tear gas and this is the 2nd day that. these protests and been going on and they are protesting at the very near the election supervisor agent the building you know 30 still trying to control the situation. and the residents of the ship men and say that. they will not tolerate anyone who interferes with security and democracy process the country. and they are also arrest about 100 people when. you broke out. the protests started on tuesday shortly in the central election committee confirms the victory of current presidents djoko with however several 1000 supporters of his

opponent retired military general was to be on top took to the streets the opposition leader claims there was widespread cheating he's going to challenge the results counterterrorism specialist down during large believes radical islamists are penetrating political groups in indonesia to propagate their political ideas. the situation now in indonesia is getting a little bit serious due to the fact that political islam has been evolving fairs in the southeast asian countries especially in indonesia so we see extremists and radicals gaining popularity in political parties opposition parties such as what from firing now on in the major radical islamist. extremist groups up penetrating ready political parties to now and into the political

limelight where they can actually probably and propagate ideology go believe all of your political needs in these countries. just as peace and calm and seemingly returns to syria the on this reference terrorist group has struck syrian army positions in syria as italy a province according to the russian defense ministry that terrorists use tanks and vehicles filled with explosives in the attack my colleague neil harvey discussed the issue with our senior correspondent mike garcia. well it was incredibly violent this late in the civil war by any measure this was an absolutely huge offensive. which is via a widely viewed as. it is when in syria formerly known as. nusra front they fielded a lot of manpower a lot of equipment for this particular offensive we're talking about for example 500 yards in one specific offensive with 7 tanks pickup trucks

a big quipped with various gardens a.p.c.'s as well as to jihad move beals as they've come to cool vehicles packed with explosives driven by suicide bombers all of this in an effort to take comfort in the. town held by the syrian military apparently the syrians held off against 3. 3 such attacks killing more than $150.00 terrorists jihad ists but eventually according to some sources cafferty. file. the terrorists also launched a number of

a number of missiles at the russian airbase in may mean in syria not all of them reached the vicinity of the airbase but those that posed a threat were apparently destroyed by air defenses interestingly enough the united states comments injuring the u.n. security council meeting called these attacks in significant in the grand scheme of things but the u.n. security council none too pleased about this offensive. neither the syrian army nor the russian air. forces have been waging military operations against civilians or civilian infrastructure russia and the regime's decision to launch air strikes sends a terrible signal of disregard toward the u.n. political process russia has claimed this so called return strikes surgical i quote surgical precision do not need medical treatment in moscow if surgical accuracy means what we've seen when we refuse to consider terrorists as

untouchable and will continue to fight them despite the objections of some of our partners united states reader it's that any escalation in violence in northwest syria would destabilize the region we must do it we have our own view on who is destabilizing the region as often happens the islam is now crying foul saying that. forces the syrian military has gassed them used chemical weapons remarkably there is there's been no mention of al qaida in the united states press statement in what they've said about this in their. statements regarding what is happening in the lead now. it's very interesting because h.t.s. as it is rebranded denies any affiliation with al qaida their behavior is still the same they were branded but they're still executing infidels they're still

you know sending suicide bombers to bomb civilian targets in syria so nothing's changed in their behavior so imagine our surprise when we did some digging on these chemical allegations and we found that the initial source was h.t.s. . in syria nevertheless the united states 1000 god so far as to blame the syrian government and so far they've said that they can't verify any of these allegation. it's bombing attacks which have been indiscriminate in a very vicious have 152200000 people in most of whom are already internally displaced people to move again to temporary housing and create a huge burden on our very broad humanitarian effort that we in the interest in the international community are making sure we're watching this very closely the reports of chemical weapons use so far we cannot confirm it but we are watching it

incredibly interesting situation they're spending billions of dollars the united states europe their allies billions of dollars fighting. isis their affiliates all over the world yet when it comes to syria as big as stronghold in the world the safest haven anywhere in the world they're taking them seriously and they're taking their allegations regarding chemical attacks seriously and demanding that the syrian government hold its offensives against al qaida as i say a remarkable situation the. u.n. general assembly has voted overwhelmingly 116 to 6 in favor of a resolution calling on the u.k. to give the take our silence in the indian ocean back to my rishis within 6 months . if we didn't expect support for the u.k. to go into single figures more importantly this is happening despite the huge huge

pressure on national capital and the u.n. the expulsion of locals from the islands has been described as one of the worst examples of britain's days as a colonial power a community of displaced islanders in london has been campaigning for decades for the right to be resettled there is a vast silence from the china goals the island as movement told is even with the favorable un vote political powers shouldn't forget talking to the displaced locals . we have done so much we have suffered so much and there are still suffering our identity our work. our belong our belongings our culture all this were robbed from us it is about time to rewrite all the wrongs doing consider us as human beings just do the right things. in start dialoguing leave the. so that we can move forward we will stand up

for our self and keep fighting for our voice to be heard and to be respects to be treated with dignity so that we can go back home. and take our silence been at the center of a decades long dispute between britain and militias which in the 1960 s. a seat of the territories in exchange for independence plus $3000000.00 pounds without moving out the united states in 1970 want to build a military base on diego garcia the largest of the year tolls britain a victim about one and a half 1000 islanders to make room for the u.s. airbase diego garcia was an important launchpad for the u.s. missions in iraq and afghanistan washington's lease runs until 2036 on the u.s. was among the only 6 countries who opposed the un resolution earlier this year the international court of justice ruled that britain illegally split the islands and

should return to militias britain rejected the ruling took the issue to the general assembly 2017 only 15 delegates opposed to their de colonise ation bid some in the u.k. also aren't happy about britain's claim to the islands. this is not a matter of degree or nice ation for the general assembly it's a bilateral sovereignty dispute between the united kingdom and maurice it is a complete case double standards and in fact many african nations will have voted. in favor of england giving it up right now the big occupier of this island is not the u.k. there are some u.k. status staffers from the military because it's all military but it's the united states that controls a lot of them drawn there have a tact afghanistan over the past few years came from this base it's also the

the there's also a prison there a kind of more isolated version of one time and i think at best what we can expect might be some kind of financial compensation for the shah guardians living in marriages it's sad to say but to keep quiet unless we see political change elsewhere and unless the united states decides that it wants to change its foreign policy for good. major u.s. footwear companies have put pressure on president trump amid the escalating trade conflict with china have that one of the stories coming up in just over a minute. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next about different clubs on one hand it is logical to sit in the home field where

everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people and i saw one on t.v. . i'm going to talk about football not the or else you can think i was going to go. by the way what is it that flying here. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to get us to the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.

welcome back the u.s. state department says it has intelligence suggesting the syrian government is planning chemical attacks and is vowing a quick response it comes as donald trump claims he's been pressured by the u.s. arms industry to keep thousands of american soldiers in syria have more powerful. so who sets us foreign policy well when it comes to the projection of military force of the constitution and common sense says that's the president your sound george w. bush put it but i'm the decider and i decide what is best but recent statements from donald trump throw that into question here is what he said if you do have a military industrial complex they do like war you know in syria with the caliphate so i wipe out 100 percent of the caliphate i shall want to bring the troops back home to place one crazy they want to keep it there you have people here in wa she

want it they never want to leave some day people will explain what this is and if you will do have you do have a group and they call it the military industrial complex so according to trump he wanted to bring troops back from syria but he was compelled to leave several 100 of them there why well according to him the usa has quite a powerful military industrial complex and if our president is fighting against it it seems that he is hiding this fight rather well recently donald trump appointed patrick shanahan as his new secretary of defense shanahan spent 30 years at boeing which is one of the largest defense contractors in the united states and one of the world's biggest arms manufacturers and like many other companies contracted by the pentagon boeing is having a great year. folks in this industry have actually pointed to what they call the trump effect have you seen that in terms of our allies and our spending not only have i seen we think it's the best time we've ever seen in

a long time for the defense industry but it's not just the truck presidency that has been a boon to the military industrial complex many different political leaders in the united states have campaigned on a platform of peace and then expanded wars once they've taken office. nations making progress toward freedom will find america is their friend. we're promoter of values. we've lost thousands of american lives spent nearly a trillion dollars. to the merge and all in the cause of fighting a war for well over 5 years in a country that had absolutely nothing to do with the 911 attacks.

i will never send our finest into battle unless necessary and i mean absolutely miss and will only do so if we have a plan for victory with a capital. it's as if we've learned nothing from history the 34th us president dwight eisenhower warned the public about unwarranted influences when he left office over 60 years ago in the councils of government we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence whether sought or run. by the military industrial complex. the potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. we must never let the weight of this combination in danger our liberty our

democratic process we should take nothing for granted. in american people don't want war so presidents always run as the peace candidate and then you know inevitably they start wars even richard nixon during the vietnam war was only elected because he was seeing he had a secret plan for ending the vietnam war as it turned out the secret plan was to escalate the work and add more troops and enlarged. you know these large monopolistic companies wanting to get a huge bunch of money they like threats of war they like active war they are you know they're the other warmongers and they have an enormous amount of influence in that commensurate with the amount of money that they couldn't campaigns. in the u.s. dozens of may just that where companies have penned an open letter to donald trump urging him to hold plant halt plans tariffs on china and some of the ongoing trade

war with beijing companies they can seem as will suffer from the terrorists. adding a 25 percent tax increase on top of these tariffs would mean some working american families could pay a nearly 100 percent duty on their shoes this is unfathomable your proposal to add tariffs on all imports from china is asking the american consumers to foot the bill it is time to bring this trade war to an end earlier donald trump hides duties from 10 percent to 25 percent on $200000000000.00 worth of chinese goods despite the moves the president believes he will reach a new trade deal with beijing china and the tele asian plans to raise import tariffs to 25 percent from next month to a deal is reached the trade spat between the world's 2 largest economies has been somewhat of a spirit raising challenge in china with this song going viral. oh .

and while british mobile operators vodafone have dropped devices from the launch of their 5 g. networks the companies are trying to distance themselves from the chinese tech giant off to washington twa way telecoms equipment in the u.s. steve keen crown funded professor of economics on patry on believes the only way to counter washington is to create an alternative to the west all of. america is the oil is the only issue of american goes the american center is it and the private banks and create money if the federal reserve decides to borrow a trillion dollars worth of bonds it can do that and in fact it's been doing it every year for the last 10 years in what they call quantitative easing so trying to could say his is a $1000000000.00 bonds and american say here's a $1000000000.00 in your bank account what else have you got and it would be

irrelevant because if the american dollar tried you have a huge demand for the dollar then you would have it was just borrowing it's american goods it's something in between 3100 percent of cross than it should be so of course it's always going to run a try deficit so the only real way out is to is to design an alternative mantri system that doesn't use the american dollar for international trade and i know china russia and europe are talking about that turkey as well as the differences since i sincerely hope one of those develops and takes away the capacity that america has to weaponize international trade. will make is in the u.s. congress have been briefed by the trumpet ministration officials on threats coming from iran that have been averted has thanks to washington's latest show of force in the middle east however some democrats didn't buy what they heard. it deterred attacks based on our repository of assets to turn attacks against american forces it's been our worry from the beginning that this is

a blind escalation with the hope that the iranians will come to the table in the end or the hope that the iranian people will rise up and topple the regime. very much but intentionally or unintentionally we couldn't create a situation in which a war will take place. among its recent steps against iran the u.s. deploys an aircraft carrier and bomber planes in the persian gulf and prior so that's the trumpet ministration imposed sanctions on a rainy and oil nothing to expand them to countries which by its iranian president has responded by saying u.s. pressure cannot break the iranian people he claimed to run is actually growing more resilient thanks to the sanctions are he's actually returns he spoke to former iranian negotiators hussain most of vienna about the current situation between the 2 countries you can watch the full interview on our website r.t. dot com. what are you see during present trump i have never seen

such conflicting confusing a strategy. from the u.s. side in regard to iran between all signatories of iran nuclear deal the us has completely violated we draw from the deal why did the united nations security council the europeans including the u.k. they have failed to deliver the clear commitments for normal trade and business with iran for 2 years i don't believe such a strategy president trump conflicting strategy bullinger strategy. coersion strategy of president trump is following the current currently i don't believe iranians would ever be ready to negotiate with such administration except if president changes it is a strategy compromise with the nuclear deal approved by united nations security

council and then respect iran. respect the principles of mutual respect non interference then i believe there will be a chance. thanks for joining us tonight international we're back in betty minutes with the. are china in the u.s. in training an endgame the battle lines have been drawn and demands made in this trade war it appears both sides are preparing for the long haul what does it mean to win a trade war what does it mean to lose and how far could this test. facebook

and google started with a great idea and great ideals unfortunately there was also a very dark so. they are constructing a profile of you and that profile is real it's detailed and it never goes away turns out that google is manipulating your opinions from the very 1st character that you type into the search bar it will always favor one dog food over another one comparative shopping service over another and one candidate over another they can suppress certain types of results deiced on what they think you should be seeing if they have this kind of power then democracy is an illusion the free and fair election doesn't exist the more we give them the sooner we are all.

greetings and sally you take. in the dirty sick that is the current state of united states foreign policy. it appears hawk watchers that right in time for supper we've added yet busy another big dish a potential conflict to our already rising pile of potential conflict dishes smelly saying this week the u.s. state department announced that the syrian government may allegedly be using chemical weapons once again as attempts to recap recapture at least the last outpost of rebel and terrorist groups the country's been fighting since march of 2011 u.s. state department spokeswoman morgan ortega's told the media quote we are still gathering information on this incident but we repeat our warning that if the assad regime uses chemical weapons the united states and our allies will respond quickly

and appropriately. she was then quick to add that assad's regime has culpability in horrific chemical weapons attacks is undeniable. is that though this is undeniable you speak of i say this because just last week a newly leaked engineering report out of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons actually disputes the organization's official conclusions that the syrian government was worse was supposedly behind the chlorine attack and do well back in april of 2018 abysmally you see the story goes that the chlorine canisters were dropped by air via helicopters which would naturally point to the syrian military since they control the skies above syria however the newly leaked documents reveal that the dimensions characteristics and appearance of the cylinders on the surrounding scene of the incidence were inconsistent with what would have been expected in the case of either cylinder being delivered from an aircraft the documents go on to claim that in each case the alternative hypothesis

the cylinders were manually placed in the location produced the only plausible explanation for observations at the scene. my friends the information war over syria by all sides is a messy one so with old official tales falling apart and new official tales being formed i think it's a good time to start watching all this. it's . like you that i got. this. well i'm on the watching the hawks i am for a time to have a lot less so we're back for

a bass service and now they can't even and. i find that very strange looking out of . the investigating that's why i found what i was looking for but i kept looking. these documents. and to be clear i really don't nobody at that organization has. altered that they're looking into how they were. yes that's what confirm them because initially when these documents a lot of people myself included. a range document. i believe. actually peter hitchens the journalist asked about the legitimacy of. the legitimacy of the documents. what they did. technical secretariat.
