it is a virtual certainty that you will fight. for america at some point 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 police units of the disputed territories dominated north making a string of arrests. from cartoons to cables southeast asian nations fight back against a flood of toxic non-recyclable plastic being dumped. there

is one of the morning on wednesday here in moscow. the world news this hour into the program donald trump is encouraging japan to increase its military capability the u.s. president in tokyo and says the country could help the united states defend against threats in the asia pacific region and beyond the american vice president touched on those perceived threats as well during a speech at the elite west point military academy. broke it all down for a softer mike pence give a blunt assessment of the future for american soldiers. you will fight on a battlefield for america 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. 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 all wear for the white house it's a classic all options are on the table plus we heard from the opposition big guy there. he wouldn't mind at all. donald trump is 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 counsel's a 2 year probe found no evidence of criminal conspiracy between the trump campaign and the russian government during the 2016 presidential election because they have looks at how the media has shifted their stump to whether the us president can question the activities of the 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 you 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.m. be she true patriots. mr brennan full time so he 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 on 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 see people who secretly eavesdrop and record in 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 stupid. 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 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 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 add 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. me 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 that or not and if times all politics change in 5 years no one will remember it ever happened on it's not today donald trump stands on the activity of the u.s. intelligence services under scrutiny in the media but also his quote or not is this the case may be a fake quote attributed to the president has gone viral on social media and some are using it as a prime example of how false news can spread. president trump in tokyo whom is smarter and will make a better president than sleepy joe biden.

john sure your shoulders don't get used to this insanity the president of the united states praising a cruel dictator it violates human rights 3 nuclear attacks a class of his people in kills political opponents is not freaking normal does this window trust became our president was it when he kowtow to putin in helsinki. ian bremmer now admits that he made up a completely ludicrous quote 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 media accounts of. this thread and listen for. mission thinking that has proven something he's proven that he's not a reliable source of information and should not have to trust him again even if the media. serbia's put its

military on full alert after kosovo send special police units into the contested republics of serb dominated north arresting several people suspected of criminal activities. serbia condemned the raids as a provocation and that it will react swiftly of course of and threatened the breakaway territories authorities insist though that the operation was aimed only at tackling organized crime 2 u.n. employees were also detained during the raids lost control over kosovo after a nato intervention at 999 and refuses to recognize its 2008 declaration of independence you know neal discussed tuesday's flare up with correspondent dumbell call to. 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 kosovo 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 sort of today's action you know whether a 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 into exile but the cost of a 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 the police operation was conducted over the whole to retrieve closer notice to move north and differently was an aim. 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 or 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 everything 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 the mean aspects 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.

the blown up of the republic. the serbian journalist spoken book and told us more about how belgrade views the cost of the police operation and what 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 set backs in their attempt to gain independence because a number of countries around the world have are withdrawn they are 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 you're watching r t you might think you diligent in recycling your trash but a lot of the stuff the cubby sorted gets dumped on developing nations and now they're sending it back as we report among our stories after the break. same wrong. just don't. get to say power is the answer. and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

with this manufactured consensus of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round. we can all middle of the room. again a year leaders are in brussels to decide who will lead the bloc in the wake of the european parliament elections france and germany are at odds over who should be the

next commission leader but german chancellor angela merkel says a decision will be made by the next summit that's on june the 20th centrist understand different parties were dealt a bloody nose in the parliamentary vote many countries so right wing green and liberal factions top the balls and the do bensky 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 bloc 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 malkin look 10 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 leader 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 pens 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. 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 not calling it 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 feel 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

what the how they like but there is very little freedom for. you know 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 remote responsible way is virtually no there's no inspection of that regulations . only with some a pretty much upon us at least in the northern half of the world anyway beachgoers can perhaps expect the usual warnings to come watch out for some bird jellyfish will maybe even sharks but there's another seasonal seaside hazard which the u.s. consumer safety watch dog is really keen to flag up.
