the u.k. . they feel for the safety of their children they fear safe it's your real themselves it's very dangerous for them. to case closed also it gets only for a special counsel robert moore has final say on the trunk russia collusion ripple. stargazers outrage to schools of space 6 satellites been placed on the wall that despite that elon musk says he plans to deploy 12000 more for his internet from space initiative. they get off in just 1 pm this thursday in moscow my name's kevin though in this is our international live here in this half hour as world news update starting with julie. in

a sanch genocide just supporters have gathered outside westminster magistrates court in london head of a court hearing on his possible extradition to the u.s. which has just been postponed we can tell you the wiki leaks said it is being transferred from his cell in belmarsh prison in the u.k. to a hospital wing after his health took a rapid turn for the worse yet for what exactly what that means the whistle blows website fears for its co-founder's life indeed his lawyer says he can barely old the conversation let's go to learn to get a handle on what's happening ali boy because crossing 4 is probably high the noisy scene again beyond. a couple of things to deal with the space program over the court hearing would be more portly to many many people the health of the moment of june a songe didn't go well when he came out of the ecuadorian embassy but it seems to go worse year. here and his supporters say here but the hearing actually that was meant to take place the exhibition hearing isn't taking place any longer till the sound was actually meant to be here in person he was meant to hear via video link

but he's not even well enough to via video link now it appears to me in a sign she's been moved to the us it's a wing or belmarsh prison that's the maximum security prison where a serving of this sentence but. when he went into the ecuadorian embassy back in 2012 and wiki leaks. about this case of his health take a listen. during the 7 weeks and bo monstrous hope has continued to deteriorate and he has dramatically lost weight the decision of prison authorities to move him to the ward speaks for itself. and it was actually due to the santa defense lawyer and the recently reopened dudish case against him allegations of sexual assault dating back to 2010 and he went to see gina sounds last week and he's been raising concerns and making them public i'm asked to the station house take a listen to. what

a son just swedish lawyer had to say. shined his whole situation on friday was such that it was not possible to conduct a normal conversation with him. and here we are outside westminster magistrates court this was meant to be the 2nd hearing about this on just the extradition it would have to be a fairly procedural affair there wasn't any major arguments from a scientific team or the prosecution we've already had a fuss tearing this month judy the stones formally refuse to see consents to being extradited but should the u.s. but really this was meant to signal that the official legal laughter level whether or not he goes to washington or not is the case is complicated it's kwanza least it is now the official start of it has been moved to around about the 12th of june we think but essentially the question of what's meant to be all cute in here boils down to 2 fundamental things it is take judas' on to act as

a journalist when he published those roads that secret u.s. materials and information and crucially for him is the u.k. going to allow him to be handed over to the u.s. authorities where he could face up to hundreds and 75 years behind bars last week the u.s. out in failed. extra additional charges 17 charges under the u.s. espionage act of 1917 a much more serious than the original charges in the extradition request for a song that was for conspiracy to hack a government computer which only carries a charge of maximum 5 years behind pas this espionage act has never before been games against a journalist only against government officials who leaked secrets in the past of course washington's argument is that a son isn't such on the list that he's a hack attack and that his publications put the lives of informants. spending u.s.

. allies around the world in grave danger although what's interesting here is that with the charges unveiled against. a lot of people even his critics of which there have been many many press freedom organizations and just journalists and whistleblowers around the world say that what was with this exhibition case could have serious implications for the freedom of the press to examine all around the world which is why. so much attention thinks the up for you soon was starting up again so whether a front of us is not you can see how it would take maybe physical or mental toll on you get more details of years what's actually happened in the daters london thank you. british teenagers of somali heritage of being sent to africa by their parents to avoid the rising threat of knife crime in the u.k. now that east african nation itself has a reputation for being one of the most dangerous countries in the world with the

u.k. foreign office actually warning not to travel there because of the threat of terrorist attacks and kidnapping artie's partridge looks into why the somalian community considers britain a greater threat to their children than somalia. stabbings of young people across england have become epidemic in those few years i was doing my a levels it was tough just seeing people being dropped every other day being stabbed london is not the place to be for a teenager when they're living here in britain the context is britain this is a british problem and it's a problem that with fallen into one of the things i'll never forget is the fact that when you walk in the streets of kenya you don't have to go over your shoulder here i could travel women out of the city go and visit her about wanted and it was good i felt a sense of freedom when i came here it was like a clean slate my mum feels i'm much safer here than anywhere else in the world and it's not just parents and teenagers who are worried the author or it is are also raising the alarm i'd have to say that the last couple of years on down to julie

have been as dave said the highest and most worrying levels i think in my service and it is really worrying 50 people who have been stabbed to death in the capital since the beginning of the year and what's even more worrying that number has almost doubled in the past 2 years in hammersmith and fulham in west london there has been an 84 percent rise in these crimes from 236 in 2017 to 18 to 434 in 2018 to 19 while in central london there has been a hike of around 52 percent in knife crime the number rising from 652985 and kensington and chelsea has also experienced an increase in knife related incidents a 25 percent spike from 262-2328 were home secretaries side you job it has called the rise in violent crime

a national emergency and the targets are often teenagers from black communities i know full terms of. the 5. 5 there is. it very different than what used to be given by the. feel for the safety of children they fear of safety to. themselves i think it's very dangerous for them really to use. a lot of. positive activity good for the mode of. local authority. even good for. you while off camera somali people in north london say gang related crime is the real problem several refused to be filmed because they fear reprisals for speaking hours and to save their children some parents even

prefer to send them back to africa while it is promising to put 20000 policemen back on the streets to fight this virulent disease somehow africa seems safer than london. u.s. special counsel robert miller's 100 it is resignation 2 years after the open investigation into alleged collusion between president will trump and russia speaking to the public for the 1st time since the probe give clarification to the major conclusions of the report says caleb maupin reports though both camps in washington interpreted his words in their own very different ways. robert mohler is all done the special counsel's office is closing and he's going to retire and to celebrate 35000000 dollars and 2 years worth of work he decided to address the media there's an old psychological test they call the war shack and basically it's a set of ambiguous ink blogs it's up to the mind of the patient to determine what to see and the 10 minute presentation of robert muller seems

a very much be in the eyes of the beholder if we had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime we would have said so. we did not however make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime it's not that different from what he said at the end of his report but the democrats certainly took a lot from the statement of the mother was essentially referring impeachment to the united states congress. statement makes it clear congress has a legal and moral obligation to begin impeachment proceedings immediately miller statement makes clear with those who have read his report no it's an impeachment referral and it's up to congress to act they shewed given the special counsel was unable to pursue criminal charges against the president if the congress threw stones of the crimes and other wrongdoing of president trump and we will do so i think it was very clear if you could clear the president he would have but he couldn't makes clear well muller said the report speaks for itself

a special counsel found no collusion by any americans in ira's illegal activities now trump or the opposite from robert mueller he says he's in the clear nothing changes from the reports there was insufficient evidence and therefore in our country a person is innocent the case is closed thank you then the white house press secretary clarified with the statement there was no real news and there he reiterated the points that he'd already made in the report. that we agree with them there was no collusion there was no conspiracy and we consider this case closed he completed his investigation now he's closed his office and it's time for everybody to move on the report has been published the investigation is long over but the saga continues both sides are sticking to what they said all along so you have to ask yourself if everyone was just going to keep saying what they've said the entire time impeach trump or no collusion why did we have the investigation to begin with and our new

york. indeed says conduct similar report aparna made no sense in the 1st place. the interesting thing to note is one of the reasons why many suspect he doesn't want to speak to congress is one that republicans asked him when did you know this how many years ago how many months into this investigation did you come to the conclusion a either there was no evidence are there was no reason to charge him but how long have you been stringing the country and the president and the world along why here's another question for you if you can't end dive here if those were the rules why did you investigate him in the 1st place did you know these rules before or did you know the rules before that say you can indict him or charge him then what were you were investigating ah you were investigating collusion and

by the way did you notice such a paltry and de minimus amount of time that was that was given to the reason for this what was this rush in collusion explain this more. spotters went into overdrive saturday when reports came in of this arose strange objects in the sky over the netherlands but what was it an amateur astronomer captured these images it was the 1st part of a satellite program of a must space x. company heading into orbit is what it was he says he plans to launch the 12000 of these things this year and he hopes they'll help provide internet across the globe if all goes to plan but it seems that not everyone is prepared for the surprise of seeing this celestial set of bodies heading the sky would one local u.f.o. website got what was it $150.00 reports of an alien invasion seriously though the concern of a lot of professional stargazers looking up there is that the night sky is not

going to be changed for the worse for ever. i know people are excited about those images of the train of space x. stalling satellites but it gives me pause if space x. launches all 12000 they will outnumber the stars visible to the naked eye i consist of us from my garden down to magnitude 5 i'm on the edge of the city lots of light pollution and can just see the milky way 1600 stars a bright of the night 5 thanks to space 6 star link i will soon see is 7 satellites for every single star to those upset about how bright the elon musk's starling said allies are please don't forget they're her and this invoked under john to me. spacex founder of a mosque later asked his team that he have this into this to investigate ways to reduce the amount of light coming from the satellites one astrophysicist we spoke to thinks that in the future even more companies would courage to use the night sky as a business plan for a future. visual issue which is there. in the telescopes usually

track the stars in the sky and then the subtle waves move not according to the stars in the scope with according to their orbits which is a bit faster and that leaves huge trade treats in the images when you analyze them and therefore this is a huge problem that you have to deal with we usually estimate we deal with these kind of problems but if the number of satellites increased to post to us with the brightness is maintained as we observed last weekend then that this could be really problematic but that's in the optical reading which is the kind of light that we can see the order probably meeting the radio which i think it's even worse because there are some leakage of radio signals from the satellites it might have been that the regulation has to be of dated in terms of how many players want to get into this business which is you know really big providing glory internet for everyone

sounds like a good idea but is really the sky that's the price but we want to pay for things because you know this this case for everyone in. the i mean if we want to pay the price of the fine but someone has to ask this 1st i think. we'll talk about the world around us and the far north of our dear planet earth after the break and i see standoff between the usa and rush over allegations of nuclear testing in the arctic.

after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next about different clubs on one hand it is logical to go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to surprising. because. i'm going to talk about football not the or else you can sink i was going to go. by the way ways that. i can get afternoon ativan is possible moscow time next story a u.s.

officials claim that russia is likely conducting nuclear tests in the arctic and therefore violating a multi not lateral treaty the defense intelligence director also says the alleged move would go in bettering its nuclear capabilities. united states believes that russia probably is not hearing the nuclear testing moratorium in a manner consistent with 0 year old standard. our understanding of nuclear weapon development leads us to believe russia is testing out to better use would help improve its nuclear weapon capabilities or others the allegation is still pretty much on the phones cross this one today any response from moscow to these allegations we've had lots of responses as you can imagine kevin and i'll say that left on that journal but actually he made that statement as you saw to the press it was during a speech that he gave on wednesday at the has an institute in washington and he was talking about moscow's questionable approach to nuclear testing and they according

to him it's helped russia inhance a new warhead designs and russia have categorically denied any violations. we categorically reject these allegations it's a world player and concerted attack not only on russia but on the arms control regime and the whole strategic stability architecture so you talked about the responses obviously there have been responses and what seems to have riled of the russians is the there it puzzled as to why these issues were brought up during bilateral consultations and why they went immediately to the media. is the phrases it's the rhetoric it's the loose accusations that have made them a little bit annoyed phrases like the russia and russia is probably not adhering to an international treaty. it's a bit of a defense intelligence agency saying that moscow's questionable approach you can see the theme there and it's

a theme that they think has been going on you know across the board and that's why there's been such a strong response from moscow well there certainly has been a strong response and you know if we look back a while ashley said he said that the u.s. intelligence agency have didn't possess possess specific evidence so it's it's this is looseness that goes on and they're saying that they probably have the capability to do that but there's nothing hard there for the russians to get hold of and say yes or no so they are. are annoyed about that these public statements this finger pointing their language and we've had one big response from constantine cause the chair he's the head of foreign relations committee in the federal council in the upper house of parliament he said that these unfounded accusations on the mounts of americans have already become an absurd norm in international affairs so as you can hear very strong statements coming back from the other side and perhaps the russians have a point because actually the comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty organization the c t b t o they have actually said in

a statement that they're finding it hard to find any evidence let's have a listen to what they have to say. c.t. b.t.o. has full confidence in the ability of its monitoring system to detect nuclear test explosions so as you see there isn't the hard evidence there as a situation stands the russian ambassador to the to the u.s. he said that these public discussions are not going through the correct diplomatic channels the u.s. seem to be clear about their mistrust towards russia in terms of nuclear testing or the possibility of an advancing their warheads and the question is you know are the 2 nations actually going to go through the right correct channels through those diplomatic channels before they make it public are they going to be able to keep those discussions behind closed doors or it is going to wait and see well you know we'll cover it as much as more responsible is happening there are things for much to do to the from our. next story. china huge the trump of ministration of economic

terrorism and bullying as a trade war continues to escalate between the 2 nations. to cut the export of rare earth minerals to the u.s. and some move that could potentially cripple american who need it badly china has also been actively selling off u.s. treasury bonds over the past few months with a report suggesting it could look to further hinder american companies with excessive red tape chinese media are also saying to this is new in that the country could close marc. it's to us companies service called trade organizations well worried. particularly in the wake of a decision to put one way on the entity list the raw concerns that the governments of china may decide to retaliate against american companies meantime there's a further cause for concern in the u.s. to a survey suggests the german companies consider business with china more reliable than with america right now let's talk about all this with thomas fassbender journalist and former business man either thomas thanks for your time today i've been live with us so a damning assessment in that survey 1st off why would german companies prefer china

over america than actually i haven't seen the in the survey and i would rather divide the 2 issues into 2 issues there's no question about the fact that german companies increasingly view business with the u.s. and in particular investment in the u.s. possessing assets in the u.s. as a political risk. because not so much because of the behavior of their u.s. business partners but because of the behavior of the u.s. administration the u.s. laws busy are considered delicate globally and particularly the concern is for a sanctions on iran any german company or any other company on american company dealing trading with iran faces the risk of having its assets its u.s. as. confiscated this of course makes. it

increases a concern and it comes on top of general the room but room an isolation room in place as they should i would say of transatlantic relations over the over the years what concerns insofar as china is concerned german companies. are not too much. have got used to the special conditions of doing business with china there the concern is more among european policy. busy about china's geo geopolitical how much leverage does europe the european businesses have over what america does regarding china it has been pretty messy of late america really care what europe thinks about it or is there more to be on the saying well i don't think that the u.s. so much care about what europe things and does and i said lee i must say i don't think europe has so much leverage as to do and if anything severely europe is increasingly got in the in this geopolitical greg myre between us russia

and china and i would say rather desperately tries to or identify ways out without having found so many solutions yet yeah on the flip side of this of course is that more could china actually fall to drop us companies and be pretty damaging when that. where everything that disrupts the the the global trade and global political order and there's quite a few things that are disrupting it right now is against the interests of europeans are particularly against the interests of german business germany is one of the is among the most export dependent countries in the whole world is basically where 00 wealth is coming from and of course germans are increasingly nervous about the rising escalation of tensions be a political be a great tension so difficult for everyone thomas final 30 seconds from father for the 2nd serve because china is well in the middle of all this ongoing spark this is

one of the headline on another common every day doesn't it where's that going to go with this whole trade war going to go just 20 seconds answer. hold the whole trade war it's my assessment increasingly damaging. both economy and security i'm not too much optimistic about it what i what i hope for is that europe at least finds a united position and that it particular german germany german politicians take charge share in the search for it tell us 1st by the genesis of former president thank you for giving us your thoughts and making the time for us not international lovelight ok and he at home thank you for watching us as well that's the world these are up so far with me kevin now and you can always check a lot of our shows and clips on sound cloud for me here in moscow have a great day. what

is it calling decline is magic and the new type of digital currency essential lies digital scarcity chancellor. second bailout for a bank that's called that got us a lot for a reason because being a civil disobedience a source of optimism because i can control my own financial destiny it's just a new way of coming to consensus it's a game changer in the human history this is columbus discovering a new world this paradigm shifting technology that transforms economics and finance in a heartbeat the apollo 11 landing on to the max and stacey. little .

clip. little.

and very well now can see you you're watching us inside. is this a realistic prospect in 10 years and you understand why it kind of creeps people out over the. years there is what i call the creepy line and the policy about a lot of these things is to get right up to the creepy line but not cross it i would argue that implanting things get into your brain is beyond me could be one of. us at least for the moment.
