donald trump's dreams of a wall come true in the u.k. city of portsmouth which has beefed up security and head of his d.-day visit much of you know and some locals. will be for instance going to coming to see on the screen a full french door you can't see anything not doing something much better a lot to. a new computer game based on the war in syria twist the facts portraying jihad this link rescue group the white comments as heroes and russian planes as targeting civilians. and 12 people are killed and 10 injured in a mass shooting in the u.s. state of virginia the gunman died in a shootout with police. a

very warm welcome to the program from all of us here in moscow thanks for joining us this hour. the u.k. is bracing itself for protests over donald trump's upcoming state visit rallies are expected to the u.s. president throughout his 3 day trip his last visit saw 250000 people demonstrate against him in london and then this time around the protesters intend to poke fun at him. you. mean. a giant trump robot seated on a toilet has been shipped from china to london specifically for this latest visit last year. was flown high in the skies over the british capital the people behind it hope to repeat the stunt and have gotten approval from the mayor of london but they say they still need to reach their 30000 pounds fundraising target. meanwhile

trump's plans for a wall seem to have inspired his soon to be hosts in the u.k. with the american president visiting the city of portsmouth for d.-day commemorations local authorities have erected a large security fence to the disgruntlement of some locals the event marks the start of the normandy landings during world war 2 reports from the city. he wanted 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 through 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. but there were helicoptered in and durham it just wasn't long before to use a go or no it's a different world but still you know you have to show the museum don't yeah yeah not to you know when the storm turned on television because of the studio and i put up a wooden paddle fence and. you know i just might sort of mockery of it because that's so common that anybody can use normally. but no i don't mean that it seems like everybody else. we will talk the other end and we could get through so much why don't i go into 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 just so. that shashi are saying well i 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 it 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 protests will have to be erected everywhere the u.s. president goes on his u.k.

state visit and portsmouth is no exception. breaking news from russia as multiple explosions have ripped through a factory producing t.n.t. in the west of the country injuring 27 people. authorities have declared a state of emergency in the city of. officials say 2 people are missing at this point the plant is engulfed in far with the flames spreading to a nearby building and it's feared further explosions could follow authorities say the blasts were so powerful they shattered windows 3 kilometers away from the site investigators suspect a technical fault at the plant is to blame for the explosions of course be keeping you up to date on the situation as it develops. the latest installment of the hit computer game series call of duty takes inspiration from the conflict in syria but it gives a warped perspective on the war we're trying to harness link rescue group the white home its heroes and showing russian planes deliberately targeting civilians or

girls have takes a closer 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 ambiguous than ever before with russians so we've all you wouldn't believe. surprise a russian suit 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 would 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 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 the same. we saw gameplay from the perspective of a young farrar the girl who would eventually grow up to be the commander of the rebel forces fleeing from the invading russian army for her family are eventually

cornered by a soldier who kills her father we see convene crawling under the bed and scurrying about her house to take down and long headed for shin soldier with little more than a screwdriver. to be fair it's only a game artistic license and all that no relation to real 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 as 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 board in to help design the game but call 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. we spoke to joan bardot coordinator at the united national anti-war coalition he claims the u.s. military uses video games as a propaganda tool. but think it's just part of the. propaganda that comes out in 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 of the gaming industry they should stay out of hollywood they should stay out of the sports industry but they are in all those industries. it's day one of summer and weekend 29 avail of us protests across france and nationwide anti-government rallies have fizzled somewhat of late but organizers anticipate a big turnout this saturday that hearkens reports from paris. so far it has to be said this protest has been fairly tame by french than it's by the measures we've seen over the last few months no rising or trashing of shops for protest there's no button charges or gas canisters fired by the police it's fair to say mumbles numbers have dwindled as well and it's quite this would attracted nearly 300000 people across paris and other cities in france numbers today are in the dozens or

hundreds but that makes these people no less vocal we've seen just a couple of people being detained by police searching atmosphere of tension it would seem protesters and security forces here on the ground a lot of hostility towards a lot of it's a bit of order should moment for this movement as well it marks the 29th consecutive weekend 6 months since the protests began and that time they've become the most vociferous loudest violent protests since the sixty's in france and of course the political migraines of president platform forcing him to reverse many of those economic measures he was taken forcing him to back pedal and the people here will feel that they achieved many things that you 900 people in the political on a range of the political spectrum from the left progressives and others as well david sheaves some of their aims today you know just a short while ago the french prosecutor announced that police officers would be facing charges for some of the injuries that were just the sustained over the last

few months many of them debilitating or you series face injuries caused by the firing of rubber bullets to date no police officer has gone to court over this charge is now it seems they will be held accountable and certainly protesters here feel that have a small victory for them it's easy to underestimate given the significantly smaller numbers we're seeing here today the sheer room packed the universe movement has had on the french political discourse national debate being held. it was also interesting to see if this grassroots protest movement could manifest itself. really this is the 1st weekend since did european elections when the protesters fielded over 30 candidates want what they were calling around 10 percent of the managed to achieve point 6 not even breaking the one percent threshold it's a watershed moment like i said for these protesters it will be interesting to see where exactly does usually yellow 1st protest movement goes after this coming up beijing slap stupid tax hikes on thousands of u.s.

imports and i tip for tat move in that after a short break. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sport this list i'm showbusiness i'll see you that. capitalism it just goes to create companies they compete they make products fail 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 us down supply but now we're in a situation where the central banks become the buyer of 1st one.

generalized testing. it's a very well done no days you know to say we should have standardized testing to be like saying well we shouldn't have our blood pressure checked or even are we going to see the doctor those are standardized instruments you need to be able to know how children are doing right from when they start school. welcome back china's tit for tat tariffs on us made goods have come into a fact the import tax on over $5000.00 items is now 25 percent beijing is responding to hikes in u.s. tariffs on 200 $1000000000.00 worth of chinese goods also earlier in may. chinese tech giant weiwei allies to do the same reports now suggest china is planning to mirror this move compiling a blacklist of u.s.

enterprises to counter the impact of chinese tariffs trump has promised subsidies to the u.s. farmers something china expert and her long says won't help much. obviously as far as the income. of the american farmers are concerned that could be subsidized by the trauma of this regime but it is not be indefinite don't forget that china is the life of the largest market for american agricultural products and then is continuing to subsidize it it's not it's not going to make the pharmacy they don't miss lee is going to have a significant impact on the president trumps political support. meanwhile the u.s. acting defense secretary took a swipe at china while speaking at the asia pacific summit in singapore some in our region are choosing to act contrary to the principles and norms that have benefited the saw they destabilized the region deploying advanced weapons systems to

militarized disputed areas destabilizing the peace process quote by threatening the use of force to compel rivals into conceding claims. you know we're not going to ignore chinese behavior. i think in the past people have kind of tiptoed around that is i place the kind of. not just a trade or. a fight between at all of us in the asia pacific at least the range of a rivalry and of course that there's some stray includes the military i think that a lot of other countries will be caught in this for a between its 2. it's. 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. my supervisor heard

a noise and just basically got everybody in the office and i called 911 and stayed on the phone with them we tried to do everything you could to keep everybody. you know barricaded in as much as possible this is a horrific day for the commonwealth of virginia. horse over the senseless violence that has been inflicted upon the virginia beach community today the shooting began at about 4 pm local time on friday that the gunman when floor to floor in a municipal building randomly shooting people police evacuated whom they could from the side of the situation was still active the f.b.i. has started an investigation into the case conservative media personalities you know a lot and told us tougher gun controls would have prevented this. 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 to 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 have not released the suspects name according to police the attacker used a 45 caliber handgun with multiple extended magazines and the suppressor. i can tell you that it was a long gun battle between those 4 officers and that suspect one officer did sustain

a wound to a gun battle fortunately his bulletproof vest basically saved his life u.s. senator bernie sanders reacted to news of the virginia beach attack 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 the virginia beach shooting is already 100 and 58th and deadliest in the u.s. in the 2019. film stars and big movie companies are threatening to boycott the u.s.

state of georgia which offers attractive tax breaks for the industry over a new law prohibiting abortion after 6 weeks however while the likes of disney netflix and warner adopt a firm moral stance at home they seem less principled when operating a broad scale explains. as the state of georgia imposes restrictions on abortion a number of multinational corporations have decided to take a stand 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 road 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 georgia 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 some on a.j.

m.b.'s was hailed as the reformer of the arab world needed but the revelations about the show his killing have shattered that image. we strongly supported to sic freedom worldwide only remove the set the so tin soldier or a day after 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 days plea as being play rather than any kind of actual feelings towards the issue and then there's warner media they have a very longstanding relationship with the kingdom of saudi arabia in fact prince our will lead them to law 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 in 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 stay away from me but again it goes back to the whole p.r. part of it you would it be culturally to heighten your brand recognition out there in the world and also to position yourself better in a particular place where you doing business and do this day again the middle east you know a lot of money comes from saudi cutter u.a.e. and that going to go over there is a 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 to be boss bob iger and some of the higher 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. in 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 that's a global news update for this hour but don't forget you can always had to our website our to dot com for the details on all those stories and many more. what is it calling. the new type of digital currency. digital scarcity chancellor. of 2nd or

bank that's called the genesis blog for reason. 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 of this columbus discovering a new world this paradigm shifting technology that transforms economics and finance in a heartbeat the apollo 11 landing. to the max and stacey. nobody could see coming that confessions would be that in this population of. any interrogation you'll see is. probably. the process of interrogation is designed to put people in just 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 forward. so i stayed there i would be home by the next day there's a culture on accountability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with all the. good. was before. much of those who heard something. who were going to. move. move. move sure didn't look beautiful the. good looking good. move just like most of

these girls did you film school go good girls. go to shows look i do you do seem you believe it's good to go. to starbucks to. get to needed so it was the little one wished they'd say look it is it's. your stash now understands to just use their mashed on. this trip the president can please introduce more to. those who have petitions to go to summer to snoop or come up with new it because that is the girls who are serious supporters to go shoot station shouldn't feel you should cook door for the one who's doing.

this is boom bust broadcasting around the world and covering the world of business and by announcing that in fact the potus all under your breath and i'm 50 i am watching ted here's a look at what's on back today have you at the hanging global markets lauren fix the car college is on hand if there are what the move spells for the global auto market and consumers. the u.s. markets aren't the only ones feeling the heat as markets across the pacific are turbulent on the tariff turmoil danielle shay of simpler trading joins us to sift through it all talk show today so let's go and die right in. an escalation of the trump trade wars leads our global report today as u.s. president threatens to impose tariffs as high as 25 percent on imports from mexico
