streams of a wall in the city of port. security ahead of a visit much to the annoyance of some local. store you can't see any. shooting in the u.s. state of virginia the gunman died in a shootout with police. and a new computer game based on the war in syria the facts but trying. to rescue the white house as heroes and russian planes.

it's 11 o'clock here in moscow international live from our studio with me welcome to the program. the u.k. is bracing itself for a protest over donald trump's upcoming state visit rallies are expected to the u.s. president's route his 3 day trip his last visit 250000 people demonstrate against him in london as then the protesters intend to poke fun at him. a giant trump robot seated on the toilet has been a ship from china to london specifically for this latest visit last year a baby trump a blimp was flown high in the skies over various british cities and it will no doubt be spotted again soon. and donald trump plans for a wall seem to have inspired his soon to be house in the u.k. with the american president visiting the city of portsmouth on local authorities

have arrested a large security fence to the disgruntlement of some locals the event on thursday marks the start of the normandy landings during world war 2 reports from portsmouth . he wanted to a wall and now he's got it ok so it may not be the wall but it is a wall the naval city of portsmouth is getting ready to welcome the u.s. president who's going to be visiting here in order to attend the 75th anniversary of the d.-day landings on the 5th of june that's why the barricades have gone up and the is ready and all of this green space where the ceremony will take place is cordoned off lest anyone get any dangerous ideas donald trump's attendance all of the deejays ceremony will see him come to mind in a double layer of security fencing allowing him to watch the day's events from

inside there in total safety with the queen and to reason may and some invited guests but the u.s. president's security comes at a cost for the people of portsmouth for whom the view of the day's events will be totally blocked well for those with an official invite review for me inside is rather splendid they've even spruced up all that excessive saying there is without an invitation all welcome to this general area outside although they'll be subject to security checks while coming in but once inside they'll be able to watch the proceedings taking place in their own large t.v. screens out here for some minutes putting a bit of a dam on d.-day for those who are involved. in the periphery troops who can be

put into people coming. to see the event and now it's the very end because the matrix coming from it's going to feel it's very it's own friend store you can't see anything you want to shoot and draw. because they were helicoptered in. the 4th use a go or no it's a different world but still you know you have to show the museum don't yeah yeah i'm not too keen on the when all storm turned on television because of the stereo and i probably wouldn't have no friends and. you know i just might sort of mockery of it it's not so common that anybody can hear it it's no way. we're not out on them and it seems like everywhere. we will top the other end and we could get through so much what i do is the summit much better like they die i think with the possibility to demonstrate what they've done is basically blocked off any sign

of any doesn't demonstrate his. truck with that shashi or sea level don't need that much if you're not that bad here is it portsmouth city's council leader is also on impressed it will change the nature of the event a great do for us the center of the events was meant to be the veterans with donald trump coming i think the chances are that will move from being around commemoration and instead it will be a day of controversy d.-day carries a special significance here portsmouth was the departure point for much of the d.-day landing force in 1944 all that i want to be able to see to this ceremony that will be one special designated area where dissatisfied locals can have very voices heard the now obligatory floating anti trump protest so will have to be erected everywhere the u.s. president goes on his u.k. state visit and portsmouth is no exception.

the latest computer game series call of duty takes inspiration from the conflict in syria but it gives a warped perspective on the war. to rescue the white house mrs hero's and sharing the russian planes deliberately targeting civilians what if takes a look. it's back in a big way after years of falling sales and irrelevance call of duty is going back to its roots it'll be more shocking more morally on big us than ever before with russians so we will you wouldn't believe. surprise russian sue 25 jet there it is apparently bombing civilians in the next scene white helmets the rescue wing of syria's jihad is rebels

a scene helping injured civilians out of rubble just like in their real life propaganda reels the syrian 1st responders who risk their lives to save others in war torn aleppo in the face of on relenting brutality heroes have emerged they have all chosen to risk their lives to save others. now it's only a trailer but something tells me we won't see the ugly side of the white helmets i doubt we'll see them disposing of freshly executed corpses for islam is terrorists i doubt we'll see them waving al qaeda flags as they do in real life i doubt we'll see them staging chemical weapons attacks what i don't doubt is that the russians will be portrayed doing things that would put satan himself to shame at least going

by what those who have already played the game say we saw game play from the perspective of a young for the girl who would eventually grow up to be the commander of the rebel forces fleeing from the invading russian army for and her family are eventually conant by a soldier who kills her father we see convene crawling under bad and scaring iran has to take down and lunkhead it freshens soldier with little more than a screwdriver. to be fair it's only a game artistic license and all that no relation to we are life events people or politics it's just a video game for young malleable impressionable kids showing imaginary russians invading bombing civilians murdering civilians gassing civilians and being killed in turn by the protagonist and the white helmets virtually copy pasted from c.n.n. into call of duty coincidence totally what we see is what defines

a terrorist is in the eye of the beholder this is not a black and white world oh so i says bombing an airport in europe doesn't necessarily mean it's terrorism that's like real life dude we all decide what's good and what's bad like in previous call of duty games where the player gets to massacre hundreds of russian civilians in an airport. and again by total coincidence call of duty and the pentagon have almost identical perceptions of who is good and who is bad what i meant by coincidence is the opposite of coincidence not only a pentagon employees boardin to help design the game but cool of juji writers then go on to advise that the pentagon started thinking about how to change we brought

in a lot of outside help military advisors futurologists we got together with the scenario planning from the department of defense who is active in the pentagon which of course means nothing it's only a game for kids i just wonder when will we get a modern warfare in starman where the protagonist is patriotic middle eastern and fighting to rid his country of an occupying american army what do you think those pentagon advisors would have to say to that. respected joe lombardo co coordinator of the united national antiwar coalition he claims the u.s. military uses video games as a propaganda tool i think it's just heard of the. propaganda that comes out of various forms to get people used to war and to get people to take sides especially young people propaganda comes in many forms and

throughout my lifetime i have seen movies and hollywood change and i think this is preparing people for the kind of world that the u.s. military and the u.s. government want to see so they can continue their dominance military dominance and political dominance over the world the u.s. military should stay away or of the gaming industry they should stay out of hollywood they should stay out of the sports industry but they are all in the streets. and from fiction in the middle east to something very very real the plight of children in afghanistan the humanitarian body unicef says that half of all kids in the country don't have access to education the afghan government's war on terror has led to the destruction of many schools visited an afghan province where classes continue against all the odds. is that our school was destroyed we don't have any

chance to see on and sheltered to take from the sunshine any ascensions for isaac ation. when isis came here they destroyed their school and opened their own sensors and i want the government to reopen this call for us because the weather is very warm we aren't able to learn in such conditions. you. know and. all. the rightly so. 7 educational centers which have been destroyed during the war between the isis militant group and the afghan government the clashes damaged or even destroyed places of a deviation and somebody's occasional sanders became isis headquarters i am demanding that the government helps us reopen our educational centers as soon as possible. you. know we wouldn't tell you something this is this school was taken over by isis i

says threatened us and closed down our educational centers. it was good. a lot of the response came and shot our educational institutions the teachers were imprisoned and tortured they ordered us to close schools there were 2 educational buildings destroyed we have asked for the sensors to be repaired but the government hasn't scheduled it yet. a gunman has killed 12 people and injured 10 others in the u.s. state of virginia the shooter opened fire inside a government building in virginia beach and was killed in a shootout with police. to my surprise i heard a noise just basically got everybody in her office that i called 911 and stayed on the phone with them we tried to do everything we could to keep everybody. you know

barricaded in as much as possible this is a horrific day for the commonwealth of virginia our hearts ache over the senseless violence that has been inflicted upon the virginia beach community today . the shooting began at about 4 pm local time the gunman went through to floor in the municipal building randomly shooting people police evacuated who they could from the sign for the situation was still active the f.b.i. has started the investigation into the case conservative media personality gina luden told us that the perpetrators of mass shootings often turn out to be mentally unstable. i know the town and its citizens well and i can tell you all of america and really all of the world their hearts and prayers go out to these people as they try to sort through the details my guess is we will see as we usually do in these shootings sadly that this was someone who was disturbed and suicidal in his own

right and then decided for whatever reason. many times inexplainable to take it out on his coworkers a gun control we've found again and again does not prevent crime and in fact in gun free zones which my guess is i don't know for sure but my guess is that this is probably another gun free zone which in my opinion is sort of a welcome mat for criminals to walk in and commit their crimes because they know that citizens are armed the shooter is thought to be an employee of the public utilities department but the authorities haven't made public the suspects named according to police used a 45 caliber handgun with multiple extended magazines and to suppress it. i can tell you that it was a wall gun battle between those 4 officers and that suspect one officer did sustain awards during a gun battle fortunately his boat to vest basically saved his life u.s.

senator bernie sanders reacted to the news of the virginia beach massacre by saying that the days of the national rifle association lobbying for legislation must and they attack has intensified america's running debate on gun control which goes back to the columbine high school massacre 20 years ago then which any beach shooting is already 150th and deadliest in the u.s. in 2019. the state of georgia has a new abortion all season big major companies take a stance one look at how after this break.

think about capitalism it just goes to create companies they compete they make products on fails some of them succeed there's a central bank there in case the banks go under as the lender of last resort and that's the way it was designed just out supply but now we're in a situation where the central banks become the buyer of 1st what. china is not a partner of number one for us yet steel. and countries our trade partners number one with us and. i cannot share the. those who are those who say that it's a turn of russia he's. no russia i hope will never turn eastwards.

you know russian eagle is looking to move the sides west towards the nice towards. the. back to the program maybe companies are threatening to boycott the u.s. state of georgia which offers attractive tax breaks for the industry i mean you know prohibiting abortion off to 6 weeks however while the lines have disney netflix and want to make a moral stance a time in the u.s. they seem less principled when operating in. plains as the state of georgia imposes restore actions on abortion a number of multinational corporations have decided to take us. then and no longer

do business with the state among them disney netflix and warner media either give it becomes law it will be very difficult to reduce or rather doubt we will we have many women working on productions in georgia whose rights along with millions of others will be severely restricted by this law should it ever come into effect would rethink our entire investments in ga if the new law holds we will reconsider georgia as the new home to any new productions but how consistent are these corporations for example netflix recently blocked an episode in saudi arabia as a favor to the monarchy crown prince mohammed bin salon aka m.p.'s was hailed as the reformer of the arab world needed but the revelations about to show his killing have shattered that image. we strongly supports it's a sick freedom worldwide and only remove the sub the so to insult you are a bit off to we had received a valid legal request but saudi arabia is not exactly a haven for women's rights and progressive thinking on its face is pretty ironic

because those countries have pretty egregious human rights issues is more about a political game those plea as being play rather than any kind of actual feelings towards the issue and then there's warner media they have a very long standing relationship with the kingdom of saudi arabia in fact prince our will lead them to wall was a 5 percent shareholder in time warner at one point and what does that they've been known to put on performances of their best known acts in box graeme the last one just over a year ago. course they never really considered the laws of these us aligned autocratic kingdoms for example there's one law that legalizes rape just so long as marriage follows the crime are you talking about greater issues abortion and guns rights things like

they they should stay away from me but again it goes back to the hopi are part of you you would it be culturally to heights in your brand recognition out there in the world and also to position yourself better in a particular place where you doing business day when do this day again the middle east you know a lot of money comes from saudi cutter u.a.e. and not going to go over there and say these particular things because they know part of the world this would not be tolerated is what we're talking about the bigger company disney is so if you still have debate boss bob iger and some of the high level executives who want to preserve their own image for any kind of potential political run in the future and also for the overall image of their greater company disney yes these. mainstream media and entertainment conglomerates love to virtue signal and act like they're sticking it to george and to the republicans however just like their wheeling and dealing with middle eastern petro autocracies it seems like their recent outrage over abortion has more to do with

marketing than with principles and art see new york. now liberal icon on us i missed or was left red faced me set me on the treatment of victorian britain by another writer as containing a glaring faults that. busy i found like several dozen executions. execution. i don't think you're right about this i don't think any of the executions you've identified here actually happened. for the record outrages says that the victorians executed men for having sex with each other this is a big claim that goes against every history of the subject i've read and it is

wrong victoria man was ever executed for sodomy. now me move typical liberal write the book facts be damned. anything be more embarrassing. give it up your book is a failure. in the pantheon of might miss somewhere between falling into an endless speed and back at high school but make it is going on nation radio and learning on the air that the book you wrote and will be published in 2 weeks is premised on a misunderstanding. fast and loose with facts and figures is something we've come to expect from the grievance industry but i don't think it will slow her down one bet i think she'll just continue pushing because. she's part of an industry victim

industry of outrage like the title of her book they are going to find outrage and wants that outrage is calmed down they'll look for another outrage in a facts don't support their narrative and that's not going to trouble them one bit they're just going to keep pushing for the next outrage that song is now backing around 30 minutes time with. with us. there's an international economic forum is a unique event in today's business world. over the last 21 years the forum has become a leading global platform for discussing the key economic issues facing russia emerging markets and the world thousands of business community members attend a forum to address today's vital issues. or just issue of foreign coverage.

nobody could see coming that confession would be in this place but. any interrogation out there. is a promise threat promise threat. to put people in that frame of mind make the most comfortable make them want to get out and don't take no for an answer don't accept their denials she said before we. sat there i would be home by the next day there's a culture on accountability and police officers oh. misconduct that has nothing to do with all the. little.

it's. lists lists claims. leaked. playing. and very well might continue watching on since last. and i'm actually written saying we're going underground as wiki leaks founder julian assange clings to life in belmarsh prison in southeast london coming up in

the show the united nations special rapporteur on torture professor niels meltzer condemns british torture of julian assange just the worst case he has seen in 20 years of work with victims of war violence and political persecution and the biggest betrayal in that in american history we ask the man who 1st gave julian assange just signed a former ecuadorian president rafael correa what case means for illegal u.s. backed regime change in latin america all the more coming up in today's going on the ground but 1st straight to our top story which it's no exaggeration to say impinges on the ability to tell truth all around the world in every country in the world we can leaks expose lies and corruption about the powerful and this before outgoing u.k. minority government leader theresa may welcome the capture of the founder of wiki leaks julian assange i'm sure that the whole house will welcome the news this morning that the metropolitan police have arrested judy in a song the foreign secretary and politician who wants to replace theresa may added

what we've shown today is that no one is above the law julian assange is no hero but jeremy corbin's labor shadow home secretary diane abbott beg to differ the reason we are spacing this is soft a new it's entirely to do with the whistle blowing activity it's chilling asuncion but. it is this whistle blowing activity into illegal mass murder murder of civilians and corruption in a grand scale that has put judy in the songs in the cross hands of the us that ministration been another contender for dres amazed job diane abbott's counterpart in govern. and said this after the arguable washington proxy of ecuador violated asylum article 14 of the universal declaration of human rights catalyzing a songes capture ecuador's actions recognized that the u.k. criminal justice system is wanted in which rights are protected and which contrary to what mr santelli supporters may claim he and his the interests will be protected

but our julian assange has interests being protected by the british justice system in the past few days we understand the wiki leaks founder has moved to the president firmer e of britain's belmarsh prison in southeast london and joining me now via skype from geneva is someone who has visited the sangean jail the united nations special rapporteur on torture and other cruel inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment professor niels meltzer thanks for coming back on now i know the findings have been published in the past 24 hours at least the preliminary findings i know the full report will be out in july. did you how did you make such a statement like in 20 years of work with victims of war violence or political persecution you've never seen. what you saw sustained you know we'd like to. work with. buttons for 20 years of working poor areas and i've seen obviously.
