donald trump's dreams of a wall come true in the u.k. city of portsmouth which is beefing up security head of his abroad more to it d.-day anniversary visit much to the annoyance of some locals. because the make up coming that make us see on the screen the french still you can't see anything the something much better a lot. multiple explosions ripped through a t.n.t. factory in the russian city of their genes leaving at least 79 people injured. and a new computer game based on the war in syria twist the facts portraying jihad is linked rescue groups as heroes and russian planes as targeting civilians.

you're watching international bring you a live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. the u.k. is bracing itself for protests over donald trump's upcoming state visit rallies are expected to fall the u.s. president throughout his 3 day trip his last visit in 201-825-0000 demonstrate in london and protesters are once again expected to poke fun at him. you. mean. that giant trump a robot seated on a toilet has been shipped from china to london specifically for this latest visit last year balloon was flown high in the skies over the british capital and the people behind it hope to repeat the stunt with a new balloon and have approval from the mayor of london but say they still need to

reach their 30000 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 annual event marks the start of the normandy landings during world war 2 reports. 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 armor 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 conclude 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 it's putting a bit of a dam on d.-day for those who are involved. in the periphery troops who can be awkward and people coming around the outside to see the event and now it's because the matrix coming from it is 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 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 we're not out on them and it seems like everybody was shocked to try to we will tell the other end and we could

get through so much why don't you might 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 security. 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 control to see 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 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. 79 people have been injured after multiple explosions ripped through a factory producing t.n.t. in the russian city and its authorities have. the state of a marriage 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 blasts were so powerful they actually shattered windows 3 kilometers away investigators have opened a criminal probe over the possible breaking of safety rules something the factories director has just been fired for human error is being blamed for the blasts. the latest installment of hit computer game series called duty takes inspiration from the conflict in syria but it gives a warped perspective on the war for trying jihan

a sling to rescue group the white helmets as heroes and showing russian planes deliberately targeting civilians 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 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 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 flags as they do in real life i doubt we'll see them staging chemical weapons attacks but i don't doubt there 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 pulling 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 an long headed russian 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 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. we spoke to joe i'm barbara koch ordinator at the united national anti-war coalition he claims the u.s. military uses video games as a propaganda tool that think it's you just heard of the down 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 of the l.d.s. protests across france the nationwide anti-government rallies have been losing steam of late with numbers dwindling fast and 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 mumbles 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 certainly atmosphere of tension we've seen protesters and security forces here on the ground a lot of hostility towards a lot of it's a bit of order shut 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 loud violent protests since the sixty's in france and of course the political migraines of president mark from 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'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 soon to be 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 at one point they were polling around 10 percent to be managed to achieve point 6 not even breaking a 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 hollywood

actors and movie makers threaten to boycott the u.s. state of georgia after it severely tightens the rules on abortions that started more after the break. capitalism it just goes to great companies they compete they make products something 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 to play but now we're in a situation where the central banks become the buyer of 1st. china is not a partner number one for us yet. and countries our trade partners number one with us and. i cannot share the.

news for those who say that it's turn of russia he's. no russia i hope will never turn eastwards you know russian eagle is you know looking to both sides west towards a nice towards. welcome back china's tit for tat tariffs on us made goods have come into effect import tax on over $5000.00 items is down 25 percent beijing is responding to high to us tariffs on 200000000000 dollars worth of chinese goods also earlier in may trump chinese tech giant while way pressuring allies to do the same reports now suggest

beijing is planning to mirror that move as well compiling a blacklist of u.s. corporate 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 that have benefited the saw they destabilize 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 of china expert and her long told us that the fight for dominance between china and the u.s. will fact not only the 2 countries manufacturers and consumers but many around the world this is the one that the. forum in singapore is

being used as a forum to attack china is the kind of. not just a trade. but a fight between the dollar and seeing at $360.00 degrees kind of the back construct of the u.s. consumers as well as us you which is an even u.s. 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 maine so please so i think is going to hurt the u.s. forces going to put china as well so it is again that size was something together with other countries because the whole well is connected in this one venue change. the united nations children's charity unicef says almost half of all afghan children 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 or classes continue against the odds. just at our 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 . told me. there are at least 7 educational centers which have been destroyed during the war between the isis militants and the afghan government the clashes damaged or even destroyed places of education and somebody geisha all centers became isis

headquarters i am demanding that the government helps us reopen our educational centers as soon as possible. with the failure of the other populace that this school was taken over by isis isis threatened us in closed down our educational centers. if. a little of the band 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. that was. filmed stars and big movie companies are threatening to boycott the us state of georgia which offers attractive tax breaks for the industry or

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 and explains. as the state of georgia imposes restraint sions 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 produce 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 with rethink our entire investments in georgia if the new law holds we will reconsider georgia as the 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 a k n b s was hailed as the reformer of the arab world needed but the revelations

about to show his killing have shattered that image was strongly supported to 6 friedan world wasn't only remove the saudi arabia 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 it's pretty ironic because those. pretty egregious human rights issues is more about a political game those plea as being plea 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 lead been 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 rain 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 well you talk in the book greater issues abortion and guns rights things like they should stay away from me but again it goes back to the whole p.r. part of you you would it be culturally to hide your brand recognition out there in the world and also to position yourself better in a particular place where you doing business duties day game the middle east you know a lot of money comes from saudi cutter u.a.e. and that going to go over there is say these particular things because they know a net part of the world this would not be tolerated is what we're talking about the bigger company disney is so you still have to be 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 great company disney yes these american 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 mop and heart see new york. that's a news break down for this hour and that's all for me as well today but we're not you know harvey will be taking over and about 30 minutes to tuning in wherever you may be. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that.

after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next that the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to sit on fields where everything is familiar one. i want of a new challenge and a fresh perspective and i'm used to surprising. new people. i'm going to talk about football not the or else you think i was going to go. by the way ways of. facebook and google started with a great idea and great ideals unfortunately it was also a very dark side. they are constructing a profile of you and that profile is real it's detailed and it never goes away turns out that google is manipulating your opinions from the very 1st character

that you type into the search bar it will always favor one dog food over another one comparative shopping service over another and one candidate over another they can suppress certain types of results on what they think you should be seen if they have this kind of power then democracy is an illusion the free and fair election doesn't exist the more rope we give them the sooner we all.

lead. kalin . please. list. lists lists.
