a very warm welcome to you you're watching aussie international with mina carol. 6 people have been killed and 200 injured during a protest in the capital of indonesia after the results of the presidential election was announced. the look look was cool i took. the protesters are marching with the police. they've been throwing writing project

tiles and mother tiles and the police have been trying to just for the crowd i'm firing tear gas and this is the 2nd day that these protests the thing going on and they are protesting actually. near the election supervisor agency building the authorities still trying to control the situation. in the residence south dakota and they shoot the statement and they say that. they will not tolerate anyone who interferes with the security and democracy processes of the country. and they have also arrested about 100 people who have been sent to provoke these protests. protests started on tuesday shortly after the central election election committee confirmed the victory of current president shotover dodo however several 1000 supporters of his opponent

retired military general per boe as the beyond so he took to the streets the opposition leader claims there was widespread cheating and he's going to challenge the results counterterrorism specialist standring raj believes radical islamists are penetrating political groups in indonesia to propagate their political ideas. but the situation now in indonesia is getting a little bit here is due to the fact political is. been evolving fairs in the southeast asian countries especially in indonesia so we see extreme a's in radicals gaining popularity in political parties all position parties such as what for inspiring knowing in the major radical islamist. extremist groups a planetary being ready political far easier to now enter into political

limelight where we can actually probably and propagate ideology go believe all of your political needs in these countries. just as peace and calm had seemingly returned to syria the l. ners reference terrorist group has struck syrian army positions in syria as a lead province according to the russian defense ministry the terrorists use tanks and vehicles filled with explosives in the attack our senior correspondent wired gansey have picks up the story. which is via widely viewed as. does winning in syria formerly known as. nusra front they fielded a lot of manpower a lot of equipment for this particular fence and we're talking about for example 500 yard just in one specific offensive 7 tanks 30 pickup trucks

a quip with various gardens a.p.c.'s as well as to jihad will be us as they've come to call 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 terrorists jihad this but eventually according to some sources cafferty. file. the terrorist 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 force have been waging military operations against civilians will. 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 i hope you do not need medical treatment in moscow if surgical accuracy means what we've seen. we refuse to consider terrorists as untouchable and we'll 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 islamists are 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 egypt 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 hasn't gone so far as to blame the syrian government and so far they've said that they can't verify any of these allegations bombing attacks which have been indiscriminate in very. fishers have sent some 152200000 people in it 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 and the internet rest of the international community are making so we're watching this very closely also the reports of chemical weapons use so far we cannot confirm it but we are watching and incredibly interesting situation there 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. biggest stronghold in the world the safest haven anywhere in the world they're taking them seriously taking that allegations regarding chemical attacks seriously and demanding that the syrian government hold its offensives against al qaeda as i say a remarkable situation. i see america has rick sanchez gave his insight on the recent developments in war torn syria. it's an old american idiom that goes like this we just can't seem to leave well enough alone what is well enough that we can't seem to leave alone these days and by we referring to us america yeah true that is best captured last night it's the end of the syrian civil

war it certainly looks like it will it was 3 and a half 1000000 people holed up there every thought there would be a big offensive a big bloodbath it turned out was real estate that people wanted to own but nobody wanted to pay for and that's a really good thing but it looks like that part of the conflict in syria is winding down the conflict is winding down the end of the civil war those are his words right so when i heard him say that the civil war may be over i thought it sounded almost weird as i was hearing him say that i thought boy i hope he doesn't jinx this thing well. wouldn't you know this report was handed to me by one of our producers from the russian general that's assigned to syria saying that his troops had taken some prisoners who told the russians about a planned of fake chemical attacks and then blame it on the assad government to get

that gets even more curious we then monitored this report that came in lickety split from c.n.n. state department warning about the fact that assad was about to or has already used chemical weapons 2 in recent days so here you have the united states of america saying oh no chemical weapons scare again and here is maybe the most important part of this when it comes to the questions that we need to ask what is their track record with this type of thing. finally is it possible that we can simply. not we not leave well enough alone. as you've just heard 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 being pressured by the u.s. arms industry to keep thousands of american soldiers in syria kill a mocking reporters. 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 friend they call it the military does show couple 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 light 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. piece.

we've lost thousands of american lives spent nearly a trillion dollars. to the merge and all of the calls 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 necessary 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 runs on by the military industrial complex . the but potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. we must never let the weight of this combination in danger are limiting our democratic process. we should take nothing for granted. in the american people don't want war presidents always run as the peace candidate and then you know we never did leave the starwars 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 war and add more true. and in large. you know these large

monopolistic companies wanting to get a huge bunch of money they like threats of war they like active war of the. you know the other warmongers and the have an enormous amount of influence that commensurate with the amount of money that they put into him to change. the u.n. general assembly has voted overwhelmingly 116 to 6 in favor of a resolution calling on the u.k. to give the chaika silence in the indian ocean back to militias within 6 months. because of militias has not yet been completed and will not be completed until it is able to exist size sovereignty over the shah goes archipelago militias is extremely disappointed with the stance stick by the u.k. . the expulsion of locals from the islands has been described as one of the was the

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 about salo from the chugger silent as movement told as even with the favorable un vote political powers that 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. and start dialoguing with the. so that we can move forward we will stand up for ourselves 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 shake our silence have been at the center of a decades long dispute between britain and malicious which in the 1960 s. ceded the territory of the next change for independence plus $3000000.00 pounds without moving large the united states in 1971 to build a military base on diego garcia the largest of the year's halls person a victim about one and a half 1000 dial and has to make room for the u.s. airbase diego garcia was an important launchpad for u.s. missions in iraq and afghanistan washington's lease runs until 2036 and the u.s. was among the only 6 countries who opposed the un resolution. well earlier this year the international court of justice will the britain illegally split the islands and should return them to russia which in which back to the ruling russia's

took the issue to the general assembly and 2017 only 15 delegates opposed to their decolonized nation bid some in the u.k. also aren't happy about britain's claim to the islands. the joint u.k. u.s. defense facility on the british indian ocean territory helps keep people in prison and around the world safe from terrorism organized crime and piracy as the u.s. government has made clear the status of british indian ocean territory as a u.k. territory is quote essential to the value of the joint city and our shared interests and arrangement that cannot be replicated it is a complete case and double standards and in fact many african nations will have voted. in favor of the 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 themselves a lot of them drawn have. 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. 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. in the u.s. dozens of major footwear companies have penned an open letter to donald. done urging him to halt plans tariffs on china doesn't meet the ongoing trade war with beijing companies they consumers will suffer from the tariffs. 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 consumer to foot the bill it is time to bring this trade war to an end. earlier donald trump hikes duties from 10 percent to 25 percent on $200000000000.00 worth of chinese goods despite the knaves the president believes he will reach a new trade deal with beijing china in retaliation times to raise the import tariffs to 25 percent from next most to the 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.

meanwhile british mobile operators vodafone have dropped while ways devices from the launch of the 5 g. networks the companies are trying to distance themselves from the chinese tech giants off the washington bound twa way telecoms equipment to the u.s. steve keen crowd funded professor of economics on pasture on believes the only way to counter washington is to create an alternative to the u.s. dollar. america is the oil is the only issue of american goes the american center is it and the private banks and both 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 of what they call quantitative easing so china could say his is a $1000000000.00 barnes and american say here's a $1000000000.00 in your bank account what else have you got and it would be irrelevant because you define it the american dollar tried you have

a huge demand for the dollar then you would have it was just foreign it's american goods it's something in between 3100 percent 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 with a different system 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 thanks to washington's latest show of force in the middle east however some democrats didn't buy what they heard deterred attacks based on a 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 the worry of very much that intentionally or unintentionally we create a situation in which a war will take place. among its recent steps against iran the u.s. deployed an aircraft carrier and bomber planes in the persian gulf and prior to that the trumpet ministration imposed sanctions on a rainy and oil promising to expand them to countries which by the iranian president has responded by saying u.s. pressure cannot break the iranian people he claims to iran is actually growing more resilient thanks to the sanctions artie's afshin rattansi spoke to form a rainy a negotiator hussein and mr van 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 u.k. they have failed to deliver clear commitments for normal trade and business with iran for 2 years i don't believe such a strategy president trump conflicting to strategy bullinger strategy. strategy 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 comply 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. the race to be picked as the democratic nomination for the 2020 us. presidential election is well underway with hopefuls already at the receiving end of apparent smear campaigns hawaii congresswoman tulsi gabbard has rubbished a reporter claiming she's getting donations from people described as putin apologists . because a whole lot of. what i am focused garners what is in the best interest of the american people what is in the best interest of our national security being the american people see. what a recent article claims that tool cigar bar received donations from 3 individuals one a russian studies professor at new york university and that of another a vocal putin supporter who nonetheless was arrested in russia in 2016 and the 3rd a former employee at this channel who appears to have donated to go abroad under

the alias goofy grapes there's something question however seem minor at least relative to the hysteria they've generated 2 of the 3 contribution reportedly provided with a $1000.00 each a drop in the ocean for a presidential campaign the size of the 3rd donation hasn't been revealed form a candidate for new york city council money or loss or told as it's absurd to single out these 3 donors from thousands. i don't think they're credible allegations at all. you know i guess i think this whole thing about russia is so completely overblown what the media is doing is making it that she's an essentially an agent of the kremlin which is so ridiculous so i think what she needs to do is essentially tell the world that resident rate people with. you know minimal ties to russia not even ties to russia doesn't that's an independent opinion i've given to

my campaign i did 65000 donors so you know you can't really make an argument that you know that mike mike hanna to see is supported by russian propaganda machine you know it's silly and i being if she keeps. kind of promoting that message people will be able to see what's really going on. so as to using ossie international way back in 30 minutes with the latest see that. said that you can convert as quite easily. to keep in mind now as a place of. what politicians do you should. put themselves on the line. they didn't accept or reject. so when you want to present. something i want to.

this is what. i'm interested. time after time so we're going underground as a president of the united states threatens the end of iran coming up in the show how would iran retaliate against nature back to war we speak to one of the negotiators and leave factoring in nuclear deal violated by donald trump and.
