dreams of a war come true in the u.k. city of portsmouth which is beefing up security ahead of the world war 2 d.-day anniversary visit to the annoyed some locals is. coming on the screen it's all friends story you can't see anything much better like the. multiple explosions ripped through a t.n.t. factory in the russian city of leaving at least 79 people injured. a new computer game based on the war in syria twists facts portraying just how this rescue group the white helmets heroes and russian planes targeting civilians.

are joining us this evening this is r.t. international. 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 last visit in 2018 sore 250000 demonstrators in london alone and protesters are once again expected to poke fun at him. a giant trump robot seated on the toilet has been shipped from china to london specifically for this latest visit last year a baby trump balloon was flown high in the skies over the british capital and the people behind the hope to repeat the stunt with

a new balloon and have the approval from the mayor of london say that they still need to reach their 30000 pound fund raising target. meanwhile trump's plans for a war 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 describe them and to some locals the annual event marks the start of the normandy landings during world war 2 early 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 called and 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 their 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 awkward and people coming around the outside to see the event and now it's the very end because the matrix coming from it's going to be on the screen so for in-store you can't see anything you want to shoot and draw. because they were helicoptered in and to him it just wasn't like you 24 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 wouldn't have no friends and. you know i just might sort of mockery of it

it's not so common that anybody can you know it's no way. we're not out on them and it seems like that everywhere. we will top the other end and we could get through so much what i don't my doing is the summit much better. i think with the possibility of demonstrators what they've done is basically blocked off any sign of any doesn't demonstrate just so. that she will see 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 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 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 following multiple explosions ripping through a factory producing t. and t. in the russian city of. authorities there declared a state of emergency in the area the plant itself was engulfed in flames with the fire spreading to a nearby building the blaze has now been extinguished authorities say the blast was so powerful they 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 the hit computer game series call of duty takes inspiration from the conflict in syria but it gives a warped perspective on the war patrolling you how this link rescue group the white helmets is being heroes and showing russian planes deliberately targeting civilians as the if 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 evil 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 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 could be him 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 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 his coordinator at the united national antiwar coalition he claims the u.s. military uses video games as a propaganda tool let's think it's just heard of the. propaganda that comes up with various forms to get people used to war ready 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. china's tit for tat tariffs on us made goods have come into effect imports and over $5000.00 items is now 25 percent beijing is responding to us tariffs on $200000000000.00 worth of chinese goods also earlier in made on time bound chinese john while away pressuring allies to do the same imports now suggest the beijing is

planning to mirror this move to compiling a blacklist of u.s. corporations while 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 a saw they destabilized the region deploying advanced weapons systems to militarized disputed areas destabilizing the peaceful status quo 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. an expert underling told us that the fight for dominance between china and the u.s. will affect not only the 2 countries manufactories 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 the kind of. not just a trade or. a fight between at all and it's seeing at $360.00 degrees kind of back and struck the u.s. consumers as well as us which is and even us manufacturers would be affected because a lot of its components. china and china buys a lot of stuff from the united states and then of course the soybeans almost a trans main so please so i think there's the u.s. . china as well so this is again both sides together with other countries because the oil well is connected in this one venue change. hollywood actors and movie makers boycott the u.s. state of georgia after it civilly tightens rules on abortions

a lot more on that story after this break. join me every thursday on the alex simon sure and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. capitalism is this post the 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. but now we're in a situation where the central banks become the buyer of 1st one.

standardized testing. it's a very well done and you know to say we should have standardized testing would 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. maybe the 1st day of some above since the 29th weekend avail of us protests across france the nationwide anti-government rallies have been losing steam a bit of light in the twiddling daniel hawkins reports from powers. 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 and it's quite this way with a tract of 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 that would seem 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 in 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 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 impact 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 well it. really this is the 1st weekend since the european elections when the protesters feel that over 30 candidates want what they're calling around 10 percent to be 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 does usually yellow best protest movement goes after this. united nations children's charity unicef says enormous half of all afghan children are being denied an education the war on terror in the region has led to many schools being destroyed visited an afghan province where classes continue against the odds. our school was destroyed we don't have any chest to see on and shouted to take from the sunshine any ascensions for our 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. how else would you do with your populace at this school was taken over by isis isis threat and this in closed down our educational centers. is worth. 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 centers to be repaired but the government hasn't scheduled it yet.

the. film stars and big movie companies are threatening to boycott the u.s. state of georgia which offers attractive tax breaks for the industry this is 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 u.s. they seem somewhat less principled when operating abroad killing more than expects . 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 would rethink our entire investments in ga 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 bahamas and some on a k n b s was hailed as the reformer of the arab world needed but the revelations about the show his killing have shattered that image was strongly supported to 6 friedan world wasn't only remove the in 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 law was a 5 percent shareholder in time warner at one point and what disney 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 greater issues abortion and guns rights things like they stay away from me but again it goes back to part of you would it be culturally heights in 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 u.a.e.

and not going to go over there is a 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 does the is so if you still have to be. in some of the high level executives who want to preserve their own beach for any kind of potential political running to future and also for the overall image of the greater 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. party new york. appreciate you chiming in to wanting to national the saving to stay with us if you can all that with the tightest at the top of the.
