are broadcasting live from our studios in moscow is r t international and john thomas glad to have you with us. donald trump is encouraging japan to increase its military capability the u.s. president is in tokyo and says the country could help the u.s. defend against threats in the asia pacific region and beyond the american vice president touched on those perceived threats to during a speech at the elite west point military academy. go broke it all down for us after mike pence gave a blunt assessment of the future for american soldiers. it 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. he 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 westpoint 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's sang 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. 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. 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. he wouldn't mind at all. donald trump is also going head to head with the u.s. intelligence services he is demanding they declassify the origins of the moeller investigation which looked into alleged collusion with russia special counsels 2 year probe found no evidence of criminal conspiracy between the trump campaign and the russian government during the 2016 presidential election or. comments and how the media has shifted their stance on whether the u.s. 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 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 a good thing america has m.s.n. be she true patriots would miss the bread and 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 you 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 stupid. the implications of using that word is now down trumps 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 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 they and night whether you wanted or not and if times or politics change in 5 years no one will remember it ever happened. it's not only donald trump's stance on the activity of 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 has gone viral on social media and some are now using it as a prime example of how false news can spread. president

trump in tokyo. smarter will make a better president sleepy job by. putting . john sure on your shoulders this insanity the president of the united states praising you prove the theater of the violates human rights 3 nuclear attacks prostitutes equal in fear of political opponents not freak you out of. this one don't trust became our president was when kowtow to putin in helsinki. such. 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 my below should be changed to hold fake news media accounts of.

how he displayed in this information thinking that his printed something he's proven that he's not to libel source of information and should not have a trust again even as a media. serbia has put its military on full alert after kosovo sent special police units into the contested republics serb dominated north arresting several people suspected of criminal activities. serbia condemned the raids as a provocation and warned it will react swiftly if kosovan serbs are threatened the breakaway territories authorities insist however that the operation was aimed only at tackling organized crime 2 u.n. employees were also detained during the raids serbia lost control over kosovo after a nato intervention in 1909 and refuses to recognize its 2008 election declaration

of independence you know neal my colleague earlier discussed flare up with correspondent john mcwhorter. 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 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 certain today's action unilateral and very dangerous section. as another provocation 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 so we 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 hole to retrieve kosar notice to move north and differently 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 threatens legal responses if any more harm were to be done any harm to united nations stuff will 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 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 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. serbian journalist the boy told us more about how belgrade views the cost of a 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 setbacks in their attempt to gain independence because a number of countries around the world have a 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 the 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 south east asian nations are fighting back against waste dumping by rich countries that story and more still to come this is art.

you know world of big. and conspiracy it's time to wait to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. we were at camp rounds of america i think it's called there's like a chain of these campgrounds in trailer parks across america so yeah these types of organizations would be rolled out into a bigger rural up so you have economies of scale you now have lots and lots of trailer parks all socialize reporting to one corporate behavior on wall street and they're extracting the calls and dimes and

a lot of people are so. welcome back this is our international now e.u. 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 to commission leader but german chancellor angela merkel says a decision a will be made by the next summit on june 20th centrist and establishment parties were dealt a bloody nose in the parliamentary vote many countries saw right wing green and liberal factions topped the polls and is our to show dubinsky 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 for once they were wronged 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 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 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. he is. 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. to moment one swedish democrats candidate accused the other of sexual harassment and even though the 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 macro met 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 valley's 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 lomov 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 implying face what europeans want is something different it seems a godless want that is show that people ski r.t. paris. malaysia is mounting a fight against illegal imports of contaminated and non-recyclable plastics the environment minister valid on tuesday to ship $3000.00 tons of waste back to their

countries of origin including the us britain france and japan as she showed reporters the scale of the problem it's like everything that they say even though the megastar must see the sun. has been awash with waste since china stop importing millions of tonnes of plastics from the developed world last year much of it has been finding its way to other southeast asian countries the malaysian environment minister insisted the preist is asked to stop. whoever this certain. 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 a small country we cannot be bullied by a developed countries malaysia isn't the only southeast asian country pushing back against the influx of garbage after a 6 year dispute canada greed last week to accept the return of a huge shipment dumped in the philippines and more than 100 containers of

mislabeled household waste had been sent to 2 ports in the philippines back in 2013 and left to fester there the political fallout became so severe that president. threatened to dump of the rubbish in canadian waters. will declare war against canada we can take them down i'll return the trash just wait and see i will advice canada is on the way prepare a grand reception eat it if you want to environmental campaigner george barda describes the offloading of waste as free trade dirty secret. so the wind phenomenon and this is part of his work is what's known by some as waste colonialism and the really you know the secret of so-called free trade is that it's free for corporations to do what the hell 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 off to china announced a ban on imports of plastics at the end of 2017 that neighboring countries in asia philippines. have now become the dumping grounds for that country for that waste and the depressing thing is they seem 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 remote responsible way is virtually no there's no inspection of that regulations . with summer almost upon us in the northern hemisphere beachgoers can expect the usual warnings watch out for sunburn jellyfish or even sharks but there's another hazard which the u.s. consumer safety watchdog is keen to flag up.
