good one who's doing. donald trump's dreams of a wall come true in the u.k. city of sorts both of which has beefed up security ahead of his d. day visit much of the noise of some locals is the vermin to stomach coming but it's good to see on the screen it's all from the store you can't see anything not going to something much better like the. multiple explosions that ripped through a t.n.t. factory in the russian city of there seems to be at least 38 people injured. and a new computer game based on the war in syria twist the facts trying to harness link rescue group the white helmets as heroes and russian planes as targeting civilians.

you're watching our 2 international coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turned 4 pm welcome to the program. the u.k. is bracing itself for protests over donald trump's upcoming state visit rallies are expected to follow the u.s. president throughout his 3 day trip his last visit in 280250000 demonstrate in london and protestors are once again expected to poke fun at him. you. remember. that giant trumpet robot seated on a toilet has been shipped from china to london specifically for this latest visit last year a.b.b. trump aloon it was flown high in the skies over the british capital the people behind it hope to repeat the stunt with a new balloon and have the approval from the mayor of london but say they still need to reach their 30000 pound fundraising target. meanwhile trump's plans for

a wall seem to have inspired his soon to be host 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 annual event marks the start of the normandy landings during world war 2 the book of reports from the city. 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 him 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 called and off lest anyone get any dangerous idea is 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 sprees stop 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 damper on d.-day for those who are involved. in the periphery through truth can be put into people coming from the outside to see the event and now it's the very end because the matrix coming from it is going to feel the screen its own friend store you can't see anything you want to see them draw. but there were helicoptered in durham this just wasn't 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 not to you know when the storm turned on television because of the stereo 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 was shocked we will be all the wrong don't 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 this basically blocked off any sign of any doesn't demonstrate just so. that she will see well i don't need that much security so 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 the now obligatory looting and the trump protests will have to be erected everywhere the u.s. president goes on his u.k.

state visit and portsmouth is no exception. 38 people are confirmed injured after multiple explosions ripped through a factory producing t.n.t. in the russian city of sc. authorities have declared a state of emergency in the area the plant was engulfed in flames with the fire spreading to a nearby building but the blaze has now been extinguished authorities say the blast were so powerful it shattered windows 3 kilometers away investigators have opened a criminal probe over possible violations of safety regulations human error is being blamed for the blast we'll keep you updated on this developing situation. the latest installment of his computer game series call of duty takes inspiration from the conflict in syria but it gives a warped perspective on the war portraying jihad is linked rescue group the white helmet as heroes and showing russian planes deliberately targeting civilians have

take 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 ambiguous than ever before with russians so we will 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 this rebels a scene helping injured civilians out of rubble just like in their real life propaganda reels the syrian 1st responders who've risked 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 their flags as they do in real life i doubt we'll see them staging chemical weapons attacks but 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 frog 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 could be him crawling under the bed and

scurrying about her house to take down an long headed russian soldier with a 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 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 a scenario planner 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 joe one bought out coke or nader at the united national anti-war coalition he claims the us military uses video games as a propaganda tool. let's 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 may be the 1st day of summer but it's the 29th weekend avail of us protests across france the nationwide anti-government rallies have been losing steam of late with numbers dwindling fast hawkins' reports from paris. so far it has to be said this protest has been fairly tame by french standards by the measures we've seen over the last few months no rising trashing of shops for protest there's no button charges or gas canisters fired by the police it's fair to say nobles numbers have dwindled as well that it's quite this movement 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 certain atmosphere of tension we've seen protesters and security forces here on the ground a lot of possibility of all that and it's a bit of authorship 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 protest since the sixty's in france they've caused the political migraine the president back from forcing him to reverse many of those economic measures he was taken forcing him so back pedal and the people here will feel that they've achieved many things that you 900 people on 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 charges now it seems they will be held accountable and certainly protesters here feel there's another small victory for them it's easy to underestimate given the significance smaller numbers we're seeing here today the sheer room packed the universe movement has had on the french political discourse national debates being held. it was also interesting to see if this grassroots protest movement could manifest itself. really this is the 1st weekend since the european elections when the protesters fielded over 30 candidates won what they were holding around 10 percent they managed to achieve a little 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 there's usually yellow best protest movement goes after this. coming up hollywood actors and movie makers boycott the state of georgia after it passes

a ban on abortions on that after the break. manufacture consent to public wealth. when the right wing close to protect themselves. with the flaming. lips and be the woman. we can all middle of the room. capitalism it just goes to great 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 to play but now we're in a situation where the central banks become the buyer of 1st oil. welcome back china's tit for tat tariffs on us made goods have come into effect the import tax on over $5000.00 items is not 25 percent beijing is responding to high to u.s. tariffs on 200000000000 dollars worth of chinese goods also earlier in may donald trump banned chinese tech giant huawei pressure pressuring allies to do the same reports now suggests beijing is planning to mirror that move compiling

a blacklist of u.s. corporations. meanwhile acting u.s. defense secretary patrick shanahan 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 for the benefit of 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 china expert and her long told us that the fight for dominance between china and the u.s. while fact not only the 2 countries manufacturers and consumers but many around the world is the one that the. forum in singapore is being used as a forum to attack china is lights on a. lot as

a trade or. a fight between the government seeing at $360.00 degrees kind of back construct the u.s. consumers as well as you as you which is and even us manufacturers would be affected because a lot of its components have an effect change china and china buys a lot of the united states and then of course the soybeans almost trumps main or please so i think is going to hurt the u.s. forces going to put china as well so it is again that size it was something together with other countries because the all well is connected in this one venue change. the united nations children's charity says up to half a 1000000 children in afghanistan are being denied an education the war on terror in the region has led to many schools being destroyed r.t. visited an afghan province where classes continue against all odds. is that how

school was destroyed we don't have any chance to see it on and show to take from the sunshine any ascensions for education. 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 . there are at least 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 education and some of the occasional centers became isis headquarters i am demanding that the government helps us reopen our educational centers as soon as possible.

to the field to the level populace of this school was taken over by isis isis threat and this in close down our educational centers. is. that. a lot of the response came and shut 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. was. 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 of pregnancy however while the likes of disney netflix and warner adopt

a firm moral stance in the us they seem less principled when operating abroad 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 k m b 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 support it's

a sick freedom worldwide and 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 there's 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 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 u.s. 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 hopi are part of you 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 be a way to 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 and say these particular things because they know a net part of the world this would not be tolerated but we're talking about the bigger company disney is so if you still have to be 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 artsy new york that's a wrap up of the day's top news for now but don't forget you can always find us on many of your favorite social media platforms like twitter and facebook for up to the minute reports. this in petersburg 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 their key economic issues facing russia emerging markets and the world thousands of business community members attend the forum to address today's final issues. watch a special forum coverage on r.t.

. nobody could see coming that false confessions would. in this population of. any interrogation out there he is threat promise threat promise threat why a lie a lie the process of interrogation is designed to put people in that frame of mind make them uncomfortable make them want to get out and don't take no for an answer don't accept their denials she said forward. there i will be all about that the next day there's a culture on accountability and police officers know that they can engage any misconduct that has nothing to do with.

say we're going underground as wiki leaks founder julian assange clings to life in belmarsh prison in southeast london coming up in the shape of the united nations special torture professor condemns british torture of julian it's just the worst case in 20 years of work with victims of war violence and political persecution and the biggest betrayal in that in american history the man who 1st. president rafael correa. means for illegal u.s. backed regime change in america coming up in today's going on the ground 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 julie. 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 tourism a added what was 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 this afternoon is entirely to do with the whistle blowing activities in asuncion bikini 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 has of the us that ministration been another contender for dres amazed job diane abbott's counterpart in government said this after the arguable washington proxy of ecuador violated

asylum article 14 of the universal declaration of human rights catalyzing asylum just capture ecuador's actions recognized that the u.k. criminal justice system is one of it which rights are protected and in which contrary to what mr santelli supporters may claim he and his legitimacy interests will be protected but are julian assange his interests being protected by the british justice system in the past few days we understand the wiki leaks founder was 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. you know we'd like. really worked with britain's of warrant and violence for 20 years i heard and were areas and i've seen obviously atrocities collectors' forms of violence would be much. bloody in a sense than what we are talking about here but 1000 levy shocked me that this particular case is that a single individual has been isolated and single that by several democratic states and persecuted systematically and in the state manner to the point of breaking and of course there's a lot of focus here about the mainstream media and politicians presumably judges that this is really a sex crime cases sweden do you really think we should we should be aware more of

the fact that the crown prosecution service under the shadow directed secretary kerry starmer appeared to beg swedish authorities to prosecute as for sex crimes or the swedish authorities didn't want to there's i don't look into these allegations and already there's a room in a little to me how shoulder from the beginning julian as i'm sure actually cooperated with the swedish police and tried to keep himself and be available for questioning and to help results case and actually after a few days the case was closed by the prosecutor saying that there was no evidence that it crime has been convert all and he was explicitly allowed to leave the country then a few days later a different prosecutor takes up this case again. you know issues and arrest warrants and then from to consistently refuse to intrude butu innocence from sweden through sky or conference and or when afterwards when he was in the end to see.
