military official plane's russia is probably conducting nuclear tests in the arctic but it is the allegations are following a predictable evidence for. seeking safety a dramatic surge in knife crime in london leads some in the somali community to say their children to east africa to live. they feel for the safety too of their children they fear dips a few to heal themselves it's created very dangerous for young people. from colds for impeachment to declarations of the face of special counsel robert muller's final say on the russia investigation proves to be a little less polarizing on the report itself. one minute past 10 am and 11 pm in beijing and 6 in the evening here in moscow this

thursday may 30th a warm welcome to our 2 international. a u.k. court has postponed an extradition hearing for julian assange now after the health of the wiki leaks founder sharply worsened in london's belmarsh prison and he was placed under medical supervision police boyko has more for us. the extradition hearing isn't taking place any longer to the sound was actually meant to be here in person he was meant to pen via video link but he's not even well enough to appear via video link 10 minutes on she's been moved to the hospital wing old belmarsh prison that's up to a maximum security prison where he serving as a steamy eccentrics biscuit and he went into the ecuadorian embassy back in 2012 and went to the trading range from sun about the face of his health to take a listen to what we know is that there was a push from the the medical board of belmont the fact that they did this and it may

put him on the world speaks speaks plenty and that's how you know being in a higher security mike's a maximum security prison is difficult for anyone but julian spent 7 years confined in the ecuadorian embassy before that without medical treatment without most of the medical treatment so he's gone in other words states that most people might think i'm here we are outside westminster magistrate school this was meant to be the 2nd hearing about this on just the extradition it would have to be a fairly procedural affair when there wasn't any major arguments from a scientific team or the prosecution 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 and boils down to 2 fundamental things it is to get us on to act as a journalist when he published those roads that secret us materials and information and crucially the head is the u.k.

going to allow him to be handed over to the us so far as he is where he could face up to hundreds and 75. he is behind baas. 17 counts on the espionage act and one previous to that richard in his face a constant 75 years in prison which is outrageous the idea that a publisher can be. prosecuted and persecution of publishing the truth and face a lifetime and in a prison in another country is outrageous this espionage act has never before been used against john just only against government officials through the secrets in the cost of course washington's argument is that assad is and such on the list that he's a backpack and that his publications put the lives of informants for the u.s. . for its allies around the world in grave danger although what's interesting here is that with the charges unveiled against a staunch

a lot of people even his critics of which there have been many many press freedom organizations and just journalists some whistleblowers around the world say that what happens with this exhibition case could have serious implications for the freedom of the press and for journalists who are around the world which is why 7 back on it so much attention yes police just pointing out there are supporters of the wiki leaks founder steve to protest outside the court also earlier in the week crying his treatment which they say amounts to torture and are demanding it for a trial and documentary film holder told me she believes the soldiers case it's a dangerous precedent for journalists. but what's these new charges really or to strike. ring a bell at the very least it nor strikes fear into many investigative journalists who have been have been with wiki leaks from the green with julian the song through

this whole i would say the springwood step. for leasing the truth about government secrets and how they affect all of us to war and peace and those people should be very very good. their own all. the newspapers. new york times. there are individuals who have done no more. no less no less than julian assange so they could all be talking to. well staying in the city as london continues to struggle with a knife crime epidemic increasing numbers of british teenagers of somali heritage are being sent to live in east africa by their parents to escape the violence that

is despite the fact that somalia is regarded as one of the world's most dangerous countries in the u.k. foreign office once against all travel there are due to the threat of terrorism and kidnapping with more on the unlikely trend here's kate partridge. 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 we've 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 today 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 for terms of. the 5. 5 there is. very different picture of what used to be people could buy they. feel for the safety of their children they fear their safety to your. off them selves i think it's very very dangerous for young readers even a lot of. positive activity good for the mode of. local authority from the event a lot of good for. the problem is you wall off camera somali people in north london say gang related crime is the real problem several refused to be filmed because they feel reprisals for speaking out and to save their children some

parents even prefer to send them back to africa while job it is promising to put 20000 policeman back on the streets to fight this virulent disease somehow africa seems safer than london. russia is firmly denied us allegations that it is quote probably conducting tests of low yield nuclear weapons in the arctic and thereby by letting its international legal obligations they had all of america's defense intelligence agency claimed on wednesday without proving evidence that moscow is seeking to covertly and hence its technical capabilities in the. 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 had to use would help improve its nuclear weapon capabilities another spot in public between the u.s.

and russia what you saw there was a speech that was given at the husband institute in washington by the director of the u.s. defense intelligence agency to the world questioning moscow's approach to nuclear testing and saying that this helps russia in hans new warhead designs now russia's categorically denied any of the violations that they've been accused of of the accord and perhaps this time on this occasion russia have got a point they've actually got the backing of an organization called the comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty organization with the bt bit of a mouthful there let's have a listen quickly to what they had to say the c e o has full confidence in the ability of its monitoring system to detect nuclear test explosions but despite having that backing the opposition to russia has continued as you can see by that speech by the americans and it is these specific accusations that have angered the

russians this time the officials have not been shy in responding we've got a little insight into what the foreign ministry had to say about this unfortunately search verbal attacks transmitted by the world's media have become commonplace as a rule they occur when washington is determined to withdraw from another international treaty or has been accused of not complying with one we cannot rule out the washington is preparing to use this as cover for the resumption of its own full scale nuclear weapons not shy at all as you can see there another response that we've had is from the head of the foreign relations committee constant in concert chair he said these are unfounded accusations from the mouths of the americans have already become an absurd nor. in international affairs and that's the point from the russian perspective has it become the norm it seems that has become the norm and it is those loose words that they seem to be using like russia is probably not adhering to an international treaty or

a question of bull approach overwhelming evidence highly likely we've heard it so often and those general accusations have really caused again these diplomatic tensions despite the fact that they have the backing on this occasion we can really have a new accusations we've seen over the last few years the government has concluded that it is highly likely that russia was responsible. if. you like to do it was his decision we also believe that it's highly likely that they're complicit with the chemical weapons use but my part yesterday i think we have a very high confidence was accurate i think it reflects the role russia has in venezuela from russia's standpoint the russia's ambassador to the u.s. he said he doesn't understand why these discussions go on going through the correct channels the correct diplomatic channels from the u.s.

point of view they've made it absolutely clear that they do not trust the way that russia is doing its nuclear testing and developments and the question is are they going to be able to sort out this latest blast behind closed doors or are we going to continue to see them wash their dirty laundry in public. well international affairs commentator gelatin steele believes the u.s. ought to provide evidence to support its allegations. and if there is said there is strong evidence there is convincing evidence just to say highly likely probably is too very. it's based on intelligence which is going to be flawed anyway well as to just raising suspicions and raising just. international relations trying to get over mistrust and i think the use of leaks officials intelligence officers to. t.v. channels like fox news or to. the wall street journal which are on the right and he

. should be done. at a press conference with. christians changing favorite media outlets and giving them little tidbits of so-called intelligence assessment which nobody can prove one way or the other. you know the big story of the week u.s. special counsel robert miller has hunted in his resignation 2 years after he opened his investigation into alleged collusion between president donald trump and russian speaking to the public for the 1st time since the probe he sought to get clarification on the major conclusions of the report but kill up my pen explains both camps in washington are interpreted in his words in different ways. robert muller 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 blots 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 come 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 lies and other wrongdoing a president trump and we would 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 we chose those words carefully and the work speaks for itself. and the report is my testimony now trumper the opposite from robert mueller he says he's in the clear nothing changes from the mother 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 a 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 impeached or no collusion why did we have the investigation to begin with. r t new york well that's the point that legal and media analysts told us he believes conduct in the report 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 right 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 him 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 investigating ah you were investigating collusion and by the way did you notice such a paltry and diminished amount of time that was that was given to the reason for this what was this russian collusion explain this more we're cracking all right more global news right after this.

would hope that he has to do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and she. wanted. to go right to be close this is what the. people are. interested in the way. to.

take a look at this. went into overdrive on saturday when reports came in of a row of strange objects in this sky over the netherlands and a mature astronomer captured the images well the mistry turned out to be the 1st parts all of a subtle i program by entrepreneur. space x. company heading into orbit now he plans to launch nearly 12 of them this year with the aim of helping provide internet access to our own wired parts of the globe really but it seems not everyone was prepared for the surprise of seeing so many new celesio bodies having skyward one local u.f.o. website received 150 reports of an alien invasion the concern though for a lot of professional stargazers is that the night sky will not be changed for the worse forever. 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 seize 7 satellites for every single star to those upset about how bright the elon musk's tattling said allies are please don't forget their hair and his impact on radio astronomy yet in response later asked his team to investigate ways to reduce the amount of light coming from the satellites one astrophysicist we spoke to thinks that even more companies will be encouraged to use the night sky as a business platform in the future. visual issue which is that. you telescopes usually track the stars in the sky and then the satellites move not

according to the 30 in the sky but according to their orbits which is a bit faster and that leaves huge trade in the images when you analyze them and therefore this is a huge problem that you have to deal with we usually assessment 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 ross weekend and 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 praline to the radio which i think it's even worse because there's some leakage of radio signals from the satellite it might have been that the vehicle lation have to be updated in terms of how many players want to get into this business which is you know really big providing law internet for everyone sounds like a good idea but is really this kind of this 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. russia's foreign minister has expressed his over washington's plans to place a missile system in japan speaking up bilateral talks in tokyo a circular for off suggests that the move could prove to have a destabilizing impact on the region. it was that emotional as a bush and we have reaffirmed our concern about the risks that are being created for security including in connection with plans to deploy elements of the us global missile defense system to japan is considered good there aren't that many countries in this world that can within the timeframe of just a couple of days well come the american president and the ministers of foreign affairs and defense of russia at the same time well japan is one of these countries and in fact president donald trump left this place only 2 days ago and while he was

here he spoke a lot about how he wants to expand the military cooperation between washington and tokyo. as you know japan recently announced its intent to purchase 105 brand new still f. 35 fighter aircraft the best in the world this purchase would give japan the largest fleet of f. 35 of any of our allies plus mr trump really made it clear that when it comes to joint army work he is really counting on tokyo when it comes to making sure that all the regional threats as he calls it are dealt with and here it is easy to understand who he is hinting at that is of course north korea in the 1st place and russia and china however japan is a real geopolitical gymnasts so to say and really there are many outstanding things about how tokyo is getting along with moscow they are doing

great when it comes to trade the leaders are treating each other as friends bud's there are disagreements as well i can tell you that ever since world war 2 no peace agreement has been signed between japan and russia and there is a serious territorial dispute. ever heard of the coral islands just didn't north of japan well perhaps everyone in russia and in this country has as a result of the 2nd world war the countries that won it decided that the islands should become russian territory and so they did however tokyo still claims that this land belongs to them and we've seen many signals from the leaders of the 2 countries that they want to get this dispute settled however the best 2 words to probably describe the progress here is complete stalemate well just lately russia

held small shooting drills on the island and that really outraged tokyo surrogate during the press conference explained why japan has nothing to be angry about going into the cool known to puns foreign minister has expressed concern over russia's military activities on the southern korean islands in response we have reaffirmed our position that the russian armed forces are operating in this over in territory as is customary under international law or use within the city however as you can see there are still many serious disagreements but when it comes to things like cultural exchange or marine security and also the desire to denuclearize the korean peninsula the 2 countries are on the same page to say the least and the fact that the foreign ministers the defense ministers and the leaders are always in touch speaks volumes about how tokyo and moscow are getting along these days

delving into the subtle manipulations not go into a simple online search it really is an education or documentary creepy line starts now. this footage is unique because the zoe tribal lands are normally off limits to the public erik's allowed in because he's listened to his personal doctor. the. people here know him simply as 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 almost all. our souls. going to busy doing nothing is going to do the population because it's going to people. there will never but never be peace unless there will be a palestinian state there will never be a whole rise in the fall of the state of israel without a palestinian state all those that hold the moderate countries who somehow call rate we something that makes that basic they wrecked off a 2 state solution is a mistake and none of the countries will come forward unless there will be a proposed solution on the basis of 2 states.

and we don't know what facebook's aims are in fact facebook doesn't know what its aims are because it's going to be the sum total of all the people who are working on these algorithms a whistleblower someone who used to work for facebook came forward last year and said i will. one of the news curators at facebook a bunch of us to sit around every day and we used to remove stories from the news feed that were too conservative and now and then we inject a story that we thought was really cool. facebook founder mark zuckerberg says he's committed to giving everyone a voice he's from responding to an allegation that facebook edits conservative views out of its trending topics they can suppress certain types of results based on what they think you should.
