a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me and caring. for 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. 60. 3. was. was. was 66 to 60. 6 protesters are still clashing with the police

as they've been growing training like taliban mullah tiles and the police have been trying to disperse the crowd and firing tear gas and this is the 2nd day that. the protests and been going on and they are protesting at the feet near the election supervisor agency building the authorities are still trying to control the situation and residence so they shoot the men and say that they will not tolerate anyone who interferes with security and democracy processes of the country they are also arrested about 100 people went to these protests. the protests started on tuesday shortly after the central election committee confirmed the victory of the current president a joker we don't however several 1000 supporters of his opponent the retired military general problem was to be on so when the street the opposition leader claims there was widespread cheating and he's going to challenge the results

counterterrorism specialist 100100 raj believes radical islamists are penetrating political groups in indonesia to propagate that he didn't. think we should now when indonesia is giving a little bit here is due to the fact that political islam as been evolving fairs in the southeast asian countries especially in indonesia so we see extremists and radicals gaining popularity in political parties all position parties such as what for inspiring their own in the major radical islamist. extremist groups up penetrating political easy 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 and

seemingly returned to syria the on this reference terrorist group has struck syrian army positions in syria's idlib province according to the russian defense ministry that terrorists used tanks and vehicles filled with explosives in the attack our senior correspondent mike garcia picks up the story. which is via a widely viewed as. it is within 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 geodes to 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 reach the vicinity of the airbase but those that pose the 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. civilly in 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 i 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 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 hasn't got 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 in the interest in 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 they're going to be interesting situation this spending billions of dollars the united states europe the allies the means of dollars fighting. isis their affiliates all over the world yet when it comes to syria i'll guide as big as

stronghold in the world the safest haven anywhere in the world they're taking them seriously taking that allegations regarding chemical attacks seriously and minding the syrian government to hold its offensives against. as i say a remarkable situation. the market hosts rick sanchez gave his insights on the recent developments in most areas. 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 that is best captured last night it's the end of the syrian civil war it certainly looks like it'll 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 it 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 you get that it's 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 in recent days so here you have the united states of america saying oh no chemical weapons scare again and here's 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 just heard as the u.s. state department says it has intelligence suggesting the syrian government is planning chemical attacks and is vowing a quick response and it comes as donald trump claims he's been pressured by the u.s. arms industry to keep thousands of american soldiers in syria can have multiple. 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've called 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 them we're 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. 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 are limiting 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 we never did leave the star 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 his secret plan was to escalate the war and more troops and enlarged it works all of 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 they're the warmongers and they have an enormous amount of influence is that commensurate with the amount of money that they put into campaigns. the un general assembly has voted overwhelmingly 116 to 6 in favor of a resident resolution calling on the u.k. to give the take our silence in the indian ocean back to my restless within 6 months decolonized nation of militias has not yet been completed and will not be completed until it is able to exist size so over and over the. militias is extremely disappointed with the stance sticken by the you kate. 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 bare is about shiloh from the chargers islanders movement

told is that even with a favorable un vote the politicians shouldn't forget about the displaced locals. we have done so much we have suffered so much and they were still suffering our identity our valuables our belongings 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 ourself and keep fighting for our voice to be heard and to be respect to be treated with dignity so that we can go back home. they take our silence have been at the center of

a decades long dispute between britain and switch in the 1960 s. ceded the territories an exchange for independence plus 3000000 pounds well that move allowed the united states in $971.00 to build a military base on diego garcia the largest of the atolls britain a victory about one and a half $1000.00 to make room for the u.s. air base 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 any 6 countries to oppose the un resolution. earlier this year the year an international court of justice ruled there britain illegally split the islands and should return them to britain rejected the ruling took the issue to the general assembly and turned to 17 only 15 delegates opposed their decolonization bit some of the u.k. also on 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 britain 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 the 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 you could there are some staffers from military because it's all military but it's the united states that themselves a lot of them drones 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 show gaiety and 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. will u.s. dozens of major 3rd where companies have penned an open letter to donald trump urging him to halt plans tariffs on china that some of the ongoing trade war with beijing companies they can seem as 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 moves the president believes he will reach a new trade deal with beijing china in retaliation plans to raise import tariffs to 25 percent from next month till a deal is reached the trade spat between the 2 worlds to launch the economies has been somewhat of a spirit raising challenge in china with this song going viral. load . me margaret is mobile operators easy and vodafone have dropped ways devices from the launch of their 5 gene networks the companies are trying to distance themselves

from the chinese tech giant off the washington bound huawei telecoms equipment in the us steve keen crowdfunding professor of economics on patra believes the only way to counter washington is to create an alternative to the u.s. dollar. america has the oil is the only issue of american dollars the american federal reserve 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 china 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 whole lot of cross than it should be so of course it's always going to run a tried deficit so the only real way out is to is to design an alternative monetary

system that doesn't use the american dollar for international trade and i know china russia and europe are talking about that so he is well with a different system i sincerely hope one of those develops so why the capacity that america has to weaponize international tried. will make is in the u.s. congress have been briefed by trump administration officials on threats coming from iran that have been a vast hit thanks to washington's latest forth in the middle east however some democrats didn't buy what they head. it deterred a tax base sorry posturing of assets deterred attacks against american forces it's been a worry from the beginning that this is a blind escalation with the hope to get the arabians will come to the table you mean and or the hope of the iranian people will rise up to topple the regime worry very much and intentionally or unintentionally or we curb and 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 try to that's the trumpet ministration imposed sanctions on a rainy an oil on this thing to expand them to countries which buy at the rayney and president has responded by saying u.s. pressure cannot break the iranian people he claims to right is actually growing more resilient thanks to the sanctions artie's afshin rattansi spoke to former iranian negotiator hussein mr vieira on about be current situation between the 2 countries you can watch the full interview on our website r.t. dot com. what are you see during president trump you 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 u.s. has completely violated we draw from the why did the united

nations security council the europeans including the 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 shrum conflicting to strategy. or strategy. as you present is following the current currently i don't believe iranians would. be ready to negotiate with such administration except if president changes his strategy compromise with the nuclear the approved by united nations security council and respect iran. respect the principles of mutual respect noninterference i believe there will be a chance. there is for the democratic nomination in the 2020 us presidential election is well underway with hopefuls already at the

receiving end of apparent smear campaigns away congresswoman tulsi gabbard has rubbished a report claiming she's getting donations from people described as putin apologists it's a whole lot of what i am focused on as well as in the best interest of the american people what is in the best interest of our national security keeping the american people safe. and recent article claims the tools to receive donations from 3 individuals one of russian studies professor at new york university another a vocal putin supporter who nonetheless was arrested in russia in 2016 and the 3rd of former employee at this channel who appears to have donated to guards under the alias goofy grapes something question however seem minor at least relative to the hysteria they have generated 2 of the 3 contribution is reportedly provided garbled with a $1000.00 each a drop in the ocean for

a presidential campaign and the size of the 3rd donation has a be revealed former candidate for new york city council monica last year who told it 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's doing is making it that she's in this century an agent of the kremlin which is so ridiculous 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 and this is supported by russian propaganda machine you know it's silly and i think if she keeps. kind of promoting that message people will be able to see what's really going on. thanks to
