a top class u.s. military academy and that wasn't it how do you like this degree of certainty it is a virtual certainty that you will fight on a battlefield for america some point your life. you will lead soldiers in combat. you will have so what is the 2nd most important official in the country trying to make clear by that the good old boots on the ground will certainly be on the way to quite a few different places after all come on no one in this world would dare to send an army against america to put up a fight there nobody will realistically send soldiers to attack the superpower of all superpowers and so men and women of west point no matter where you're deployed . you will be the vanguard of freedom here they are the future of basters of

freedom you look at their faces and frankly it doesn't seem they're in raptures over what mr pence is saying but let's hear where in the world we might expect to see a boost in freedom in the days to come some of you will join the fight against radical islamic terrorists in afghanistan. and iraq oh these are familiar places where the pro says so to say began a while ago soon it will be 20 years any more destinations some of you will join the fight in europe where an aggressive russia seeks to redraw international boundaries by force probably in this area it's a bit of an exaggeration that the graduates will find themselves on a battlefield taking part in nato as big war games there that's more like it. i.

i. well at least for now it's only been in the form of drills for now and finally the most curious part and some of you may even be called upon to serve. in this hemisphere it won't be rocket science for you to figure out where the boots on the ground money to be marching off to next in the western hemisphere then then as you well off where for the white house it's a classic all options are on the table plus we heard from the opposition big guy there one glide oh he wouldn't mind at all. and donald trump also going head to head with the u.s. intelligence services he's demanding they declassify the origins of the miller investigation which looked into alleged collusion with russia special counsels to give probe found no evidence of criminal conspiracy between the trump campaign and the russian government during the 2016 presidential election our senior

correspondent what are looks at how the mass media has shifted its stance on whether the u.s. president can question the activity of the intelligence services on. the thing with spies with all this secrets and power and egos is that it really seems to goo to their heads and honestly how can you blame them they are literally be yawned public scrutiny and he wouldn't tries to stick their nose in you just stamp everything that's classified and loudly denounce them as unpatriotic see it as a very very serious and outrageous move on the part of mr trump once again trampling upon the statutory authorities of the director of national television so in the heads of the independent intelligence agencies how dead trump what true american would ever question why they're being wiretapped and spied upon good thing america has m.s.n.

be she true patriots. this is the bread and full time so you can vent his frustrations for everyone to hear of course to do that m.s.n. b.c. had to sacrifice their principles and integrity president obama said today he still stands by his cia chief john brennan even though it turns out the cia was indeed spying on the senate and some senators are calling for brennan to be fired now just to be clear that was in 2014 when they weren't on the same side then spying than everyone you only elected leaders included was considered dubious these is to. 1019 and the word spying is now considered politically incorrect it offends people whose people who secretly eavesdrop and record and film everyone agents the good guys. a talking point from the

president and those around him telling congress buying did occur on the trump campaign it's a loaded word to know the implications of using that word is now down trump's favorite new word and the trump media's favorite new word. senate intelligence chair dianne feinstein accuse brennan cia of secretly tracking the senate's investigation into one of the worst abuses in recent cia history and now factor in this huge new scandal the fact that brennan cia was spying on members of congress the cia was spying on the senate intelligence committee basically busting into their computers but i give m s n b c too much credit or others to washington post gave brennan his own column where he publishes pieces with nubile noble titles i will speak out until integrity returns to the white house promises well done washington post it takes courage to set aside what you believe in to go

back on your word but again it's been 5 years who remembers things like that right the guardian same thing. cia director john brennan lied to you on to the senate fired him. why is donald trump attacking the u.s. intelligence community surprisingly brandon isn't working for the guardian yet one by one though the pundits and the seeing wrong from right the question is are they going to demand brennan's resignation or a. countability within the cia patriotic gansa by the way is no holding the cia accountable would be to put it secret agents do top secret stuff and drink martinis and have things and carry out special secret missions day and i didn't

see anything improper on lawful and yes james clapper brennan's former boss is now a c.n.n. employee i'll tell you this every true american can be proud of their a brave brave people watch over you and record everything you do or say they night whether you want it or not and if times or politics change in 5 years no one will remember it ever happened when it's not only donald trump stands on the activity of the u.s. intelligence services under scrutiny in the media but also his quotes or not his as the case may be a fake quote attributed to the president's gone viral on social media and someone are using it as a prime example of how false news can spread. president

trump talks you can join the smarter and would make it by the president and sleepy joe biden. done sure of your shoulders donkey used to this insanity the president of the united states praising you cruel dictator violates human rights 3 nuclear attacks a class of his people in fields political opponents not freaking normal does this when donald trump became our president. always there when you kowtow to putin in helsinki. ian bremmer now admits that he made up a completely ludicrous quites attributing it to me this is what's going on in the age of fake news people think they can say anything and get away with it really the libel laws should be changed to hold fake news media accounts of.

us played in misinformation thinking that has proven something he's proven that he is not to libel source of information and should not tell the rest of the damn even is a media. so b. has put its military on a full alert after kosovo sent special police units into the contested republics dominated north arresting a number of individuals suspected of criminal activities. the . serbia characterized the raids as a provocation in the battle react swiftly of course supposed to threaten the breakaway territories authorities insist though that the operation was aimed only at tackling organized crime and smuggling rings to u.n. employees were also detained during the raids said he lost control over kosovo after a nato intervention in 1909 and refuses to recognize its 2008 declaration of independence

you know neil discussed tuesday's flare up with correspondent paul quote. tensions with serbia suddenly spiked earlier today after kosovo special police was deployed into a serb majority region of northern kosovo now serbian president alexander has put the military on high alert he's saying that 23 people were arrested mostly serbs and bosniaks while paul civil authorities are saying that number is at 30 served as deputy director of the office of kosovo says that this was this raid was actually an act of intimidation against certain today's action you know admiral and the very dangerous section. is another procreation unfortunately one of the many in the long line of acts similar to this has only one and the mean given that is to frighten serbs living in the north of course

will into exile but the cost while prime minister. didn't deny says that it was part of an anti smuggling an anti organized crime operation in the area kosovo further urged ethnic serbs in the the area to support the police claiming that this fight is the path to further integration with the west and nato urged all parties to remain calm at the same time taking kosovo side in this deal with the police operation was conducted over the hole to retrieve closer notice to move north. and definitely wasn't aimed at subi it was aimed at fighting against crime and corruption the un actually released a statement about it saying that 2 employees at the u.n. mission in kosovo war arrested and later hospitalized the statement also threatened legal responses if any more harm were to be done any harm to united nations staf will be met with the highest degree of diplomatic and international legal responses one of the detained personnel was a russian but he's already been released the russian foreign ministry called his

detention a blatant provocation as has the employee had diplomatic immunity marias a lot of the foreign ministry spokeswoman said that this is only going to lead to escalating tensions in the region it is obvious to such a provocative behavior by kosovo is the result of u.s. and e.u. long term policies of indulgence tour of them because of very leaders they're used to being excused average thing such steps lead to the ask elation of the ethnic tensions and makes efforts of the international community for the post conflict regulation completely useless there's a deep history to all this is there really is a fractured. tell us more about the long standing on the moss the i know you could be here for quite a while but just to me an aspect of well you know these. tensions in the region seriously worsened after nato was bombing of yugoslavia in 1909 and separatist insurgency came to power in kosovo afterwards and declared independence in 2008 now

that to this day the serbian government doesn't recognize that declaration and they consider nato's intervention in the region breach of international law. i. think. of the republic. now earlier today serbia did warn the european union that the government will active kosovo special police has not withdrawn from this region so that was quite a bit a long time ago the special police are still there so perhaps we'll see some international reactions in the next in the coming hours a serbian journalist boy told this more about how belgrade views the cost of the police operation and outlined what he believes the implications could be. everybody in serbia believes that this was yet another attempt to intimidate and put pressure

on the serbian minority which lives in the north and also possibly to renew the of the authority or the integrity of the leaders of course they will have seen a number of said backs in their attempt to gain independence because a number of countries around the world have are withdrawn their recognition of course also they needed to do something to show that they are actually in charge in the whole of territory of course the way including the north where there serbs leave the worst consequence of this action is that there will be more fear among the serbian population there will be more uncertainty about the future and you know if they decide to leave the north of course civil serbia will have less arguments to try to reclaim it in any way. after the european elections left the house of brussels fragmented e.u. leaders are in the belgian capital for talks on who will lead the bloc forward

centrist and establishment parties were dealt a bloody nose in the parliamentary vote many countries all right wing green and liberal factions topped the polls and a shot to do better get now reports there was no shortage of political drama in the run up either. for months pundits have been predicting a rise in anti establishment parties ahead of the e.u. elections afterwards they were wrong but across the globe in the weeks leading up to the vote panic was setting in and let's be clear that panic was and without ground scandals emerged all reemerged in a timely fashion. take pen days before france headed to the polls the e.u. top court ordered her to pay back 300000 euros to the european parliament this followed a case in which the national rally had been accused of paying an aide incorrectly

but the timing felt it was almost as if it was a way to tell voters that her party just couldn't be trusted that came hot on the heels of accusations that former trump strategist steve bannon was actually the one pulling all the pens strings yet the public didn't seem to care and the national rally still talked the polls he in front of the scandals that were rife in the media included one russians well at least the alleged russians no shock there but of course not a single troll in sight. it was of course. the party which was in coalition. people's party found itself under the spotlight not for its potentially dubious policies but for a good old cash influence gambit. revici's

. he says there was even an attempt to drag le pen's name into the thick gate as it became known a few months ago marine le pen was singing the praises of austrian vice chancellor heinz christian straka saying how formidable he was struck as being forced to resign we find out why he was trying to sell his services to foreign forces behind this nationalist movement is a submission to foreign forces despite this the f p o still managed to pick up just over 17 percent of the vote in austria. there was also of course the elections very own 2 moment one swedish democrats candidate accused the other of sexual harassment and even though this scandal washed away it didn't hamper the anti immigration party's performance they

increased their share of the vote to more than 15 percent. and despite merkel. warning that populist parties wanted to destroy europe we are haring to deal with populist movements that in many areas are contemptuous of our avail use and want to destroy the europe of the values we represent we have to stand up to this these parties significantly increase their representation in many parts of the e.u. sex money the long arm of washington reaching for controlling europe nothing seemed to put voters off seeking something new what is clear from the results of these elections is that the old guard could no longer count on the masses to support them in blind faith what europeans want is something different it seems but godless what

parties show it to be auty paris. teaches in finland have expressed concern over muslim pupils fasting during the holy month of ramadan they claim it affects the students' concentration during classes ramadan is noticeable due increasing sidey never do school life we cannot 1st feature nor give injections of nutrients or hindoos advice parents not to force children to fast fasting for young children can be successful at home not at school without food this year ahead of ramadan authorities in a southern finnish city called on schools not to observe the fast and some institutions have reportedly been offering water and extended breaks to muslim students ramadan which is expected to end next tuesday is the most sacred month in the muslim calendar people abstain from food and drink from sunrise to sunset it's considered to be a period of purification and the 4th keep. them while politicians in germany including the health minister a calling for

a more compatible form of islam to be promoted to preserve european traditions and culture. instead of tolerating symbols of a reactionary missile journalistic form of islam we must promote the development of a european islam which shares our values in order to preserve our free european way of life well when we discuss all this earlier on r.t. the crux of the rao came down to the line between faith and flexibility. the central principles of the stomach faith are non-negotiable in this same where the jewish community won't be told what they can or cannot believe and i think that's a really dangerous precedent is being crossed your of this war only slum which is about demonizing and taking away the rights of muslims to practice their faith finished. sensibly do run the best education system in the world with their liberal nordic minds decided that they wanted to help muslim kids out a little bit and are trying to inject a little bit of liberalism and a little bit of tolerance into people who otherwise should know better there is so

called liberal societies like the scandinavian countries who talk about liberalism who talk of individual freedom of speech and if you do a choice but in reality you want to restrict that for one section of society and i think that's deeply wrong if you go to tampa and you meet the finnish muslims and my kids are half inish you will see that they are very accustomed very tribal eyes come from a certain culture and tradition they're not used to having open dialogue integration liberal tolerant values which came from the islamic traditions to europe in the 1st place so muslims do need to change they need to get back to a key understanding of what islam is what islam is and we need to get our house in order because muslims have got problems to deal with there is a wider discussion to be had you know the muslims are very passionate about practicing their faith and we've got to ensure that we educate our fellow citizens who are not was about the benefits but also about the challenges of look i think whether it's the issue of fasting whether receive the headscarf whether it's the

any other range of issues when we're talking about how islam co-exists a lot of debate a lot of pressure on how do muslims whether they assimilate or whether they integrate the key point here is about tolerance it's about respect and for muslims it's about returning to the prophetic way which is one of tolerance to respect multi-faith coexistence and i can raise an. the islam you see today i'm not there saying people should go to hard manichean issue but we need to learn that values of tolerance and liberalism back from the europeans who took it from us in the 1st place and the islam that people are trying to move back to are not sure that's the way it should be. with some a pretty much upon us at least in the northern half of the world beachgoers can perhaps expect the usual warnings watch out for some bird jellyfish or even sharks but this season there's another sea side house in which the us consumer safety board is keen to flag up.

as you know beach umbrellas provide beach goers the benefits of shade on hot sunny days at the shore get a burst of wind can make these summer accessories harmful to those around them watch as witnesses capture beach umbrellas. is coming from here you want to tilt your umbrella this way into the wind that way the wind and the other problem have. been very hot. no one wants to take away your umbrellas just your umbrella as if war. now if only someone would protect me from will make sure none of us are safe until we have effective national beach umbrellas control.

ok that's how it looks for from moscow so far this tuesday thanks for watching and next all the world news updates is in just over half an hours here that. i mean we were at camp rounds of america i think it's called there's like a chain of these campgrounds and trailer parks across america so yeah these types of organizations would be rolled out into a big a rural up so you have economies of scale you now have lots of lost a trailer parks all socialize reporting to one corporate behavior on wall street and there extracting nickels and dimes and a lot of people are suffering. this

footage is unique because the zoe tribal lands are normally off limits to the public erik's allowed in because he's this is personal don't. people here know him simply is don't to eric he's rich famous some always on the move saving yachts and flying aircraft that. he's considered one of the best neurosurgeons in brazil. that's happening amazon. how are you so sis going to busy doing that nothing's going to do the population much because he's going to people on his own.

is this a realistic prospect in 10 years and you understand why it kind of creeps people out. i think there's there's what i call the creepy line and the. about a lot of these things just to get right up to the creepy line but not cross i would argue that implanting things in your brain is a is beyond the could be loyal and of. at least for the moment.

at the end of the 20th century silicon valley industry titans like steve jobs and bill gates made a promise that would forever alter how we perceive the world it spans the globe like a superhighway it is called internet and suddenly are part of a new mash of people programs archives ideas the personal computer and the internet . into the information age laying the groundwork for i'm limited innovation at the

dawn of the 21st century there would be a new revolution a new generation of young genius of this made a new promise beyond our wildest dreams. the idea is that we take all the world's information and make. everyone limitless information artificial intelligence machines that would know what we wanted and would tend to our every. we need the technology would be beyond our imagination it's almost like magic yet the concept would be as simple as a single word search. this was the beginning of google and less than a decade later facebook they would make a new promise to humanity what i think so interesting about google and facebook is they were founded at american universities stanford university you had 2 students larry page and sergey brin decide they.
