and very well now continue. it is a virtual certainty that you will fight on a battlefield for america support your life bracing for combat the u.s. vice president tells military academy graduates they should be prepared for active service around the globe including in europe also ahead. serbia puts its military on full alert because of a police unit sent to the disputed territories dominated north making a string of arrests. and teachers in finland muslim pupils not to fast during the holy month of ramadan saying it negatively affects their studies whether it's a step too far. principals. are non-negotiable in this say where the jewish community want to be told what they can. do to change

they need to get back to a key understanding of what islam is what islam is and how we need to get our house in order because muslims have got problems to do with. a lot of good evening from moscow tuesday evening at 10 here in the russian capital and the world news from our senior international 1st off for you that donald trump is encouraging japan to increase its military capability the u.s. president's in tokyo right now and says the country could help the u.s. defend against threats in the asia pacific region and beyond the american vice president touched almost perceived threats as well during a speech at the west point military academy. at the track a broken all down for us after mike pence give a blunt assessment of the future for american soldiers who will fight on a battlefield for america at some point your life if you didn't notice the words in the background that was mr vice president talking to the graduates of

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.

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 busy 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 van zyl well all 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 of why don't he wouldn't mind at all. 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 the special councils to get profound no evidence of criminal conspiracy between the trump campaign and the russian government during the 2016 presidential election when i guess they have

looks at how the mass media have shifted their stance on whether the us president can question the activities of the us intelligence services 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 intelligence and 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. fice 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 and spying than everyone your own elected leaders included was considered dubious these is 2019 and the word spying is now considered politically incorrect it offends people who say 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 ready the implications of using that word has now gone 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 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 fire 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 accountability within the cia patriotic answer by the way is no holding the cia accountable would be sure to put secret agents do top secret stuff and drink martinis and had things and carry out special secret missions 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 day and night whether you wanted or not and if times or politics change in 5 years no one will remember it ever happened as not only donald trump stance on the activity of the u.s. intelligence services under scrutiny in the media but also his quotes or not his as the case maybe a fake quotes attributed to the president gone viral on social media and someone now using it as a prime example of how false news can spread. president

trump and talk show him john is smarter and would make a by the president and sleepy joe biden. cut. don't shrug your shoulders don't get used to this insanity the president of the united states praising a cruel dictator violates human rights 3 nuclear attacks across his people and kills political opponents is not freaking normal is this when donald trump became our president was he when kowtow to putin in helsinki little. ian bremmer now admits that he made up a completely ludicrous quite 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 reading the bible more should be changed the whole fake news media accounts are

putting you to spreading misinformation thinking that has proven something he's proven that he's not to are both source of information and should not out of the trust of again even his immediate cuts. so he has put his military on full alert after kosovo send special police units into the contested republics dominated north arresting a number of individuals suspected of criminal activities. serbia characterized the raids as a provocation and warned it will react swiftly of kosovo's threatened 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 the lost control of a cost of i offer a nato intervention in 999 and refuses to recognize its 2008 declaration of

independence you know neil discussed tuesday's flare up with correspondent. well 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 coal civil authorities are saying that number is at 30 serbia's deputy director of the office of kosovo says that this was this raid was actually an act of intimidation against certain today's election you know admiral and very dangerous section. is another procreation unfortunately one of the many in the long line of acts similar to this that 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 and 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 differently was an aim bits. yes it was aimed at fighting against crime and corruption the u.n. 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 stoffel 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 as 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 everything such steps lead to the ask a lesion 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 the mean aspects of well union 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. 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 the serbian journalist told us more about how great views the course of the police operation and outline 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 of all who have seen a number of said backs in their attempt to gain independence because a number of countries around the world have a 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. up to the 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 saw right wing green and

liberal factions topple poles at a shelter do you 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 policies ahead of the e.u. elections after once they were right but across the bloc in the weeks leading up to the vote panic was setting in and let's be clear that make wasn't without scandals emerged all reemerged in a timely fashion. take martin penn days before fronts headed to the polls each 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 off 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 pen strings yet the public didn't seem to care and the national rally still talked the polls here in france other 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 if. 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 a very. 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 50 percent. and despite merkel cornett our warning that populist parties wanted to destroy europe we are haring to deal with populist movements that in many areas are contemptuous of our of fail 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 a godless want that is charlotte to ski r.t. paris. malaysia is mounting

a fight against illegal imports of contaminated non-recyclable plastics the environment minister pledged on tuesday to ship $3000.00 metric tons of waste back to their countries of origin including the united states britain france and japan. with the mega star must see the sign malaysia has been awash with way since china stop importing millions of tonnes of plastics from the developed world last year much of it's been finding its way to other southeast asian countries the malaysian environment minister insisted her country world no longer be browbeaten into accepting the rubbish. whoever that send their ways to malaysia where the ways where those plastic ways are whatever ways we will send it back and we will fight back even though we are small country we cannot be bullied by a developed countries. malaysia isn't the 1st country to declare it'll push back against the influx of rubbish either the philippines announced this week it plans to return 69 containers of garbage to canada 3 years canada's refused to allow the

shipment of household waste to be returned after it was delivered to a port in the philippines but as the dispute escalated the filipino president declared that if canada didn't act quickly he would dump the rubbish in canadian waters will declare war against canada we can take them down i'll return the trench just wait and see i will advise canada that your government is on the way to play a grant reception even if you want to environmental campaigner george barda describes the offloading of rubbish on to 3rd world countries as free trade to dirty secret so the wind a phenomenon and this is part of his work is what's known by some as waste colonialism and the really dirty secret of so-called free trade is that it's free for corporations to do what the how they like but there is very little freedom for . poor countries that are often the subject of this you know these toxic arrivals to do anything about it after china announced

a ban on imports of plastics at the end of 2017 that neighboring countries in asia philippines. now become the dumping grounds for that country for that waste and the depressing thing is there seems to be no evidence whatsoever that countries like the u.k. are doing any kind of follow up to make sure that that waste is being treated in a in a remotely responsible way virtually no there's no inspection of that regulations. teachers 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 with nutrients or hindus 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 of 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 is considered to be a period of purification in the 4th of islam. meanwhile politicians in germany including the health minister recording for 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 when we discussed it all earlier on r.t. the crux of the row 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 on islam 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 mind 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 isn't and we need to get our house

in order because muslims have got problems to deal with there is a wide discussion to be had you know the muslims are very passionate about practice you know 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 there is 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 a respectable multi-faith co-existed you can i can raise an issue in the islam you see today i'm not there saying people should go on a 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
