you're watching our 2 international bring you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. a u.s. military judge has removed the lead prosecutor in the case of a navy seal accused of committing several war crimes one week before the trial starts the serviceman has pleaded not guilty to the charges and the republican congressman recently defended the accused of going so far as to confess to crimes himself. and reports. the case of a u.s. navy seal accused of some pretty nasty crimes in iraq has grabbed headlines the man is eddie gallagher he's accused of murder attempted murder and a slew of other crimes now according to the reports when his team initially reported him and demanded an investigation nothing was done about it and he's teammates say they saw him taking pointless shots they say they saw him gunned down
7:02 am
an old man in a white robe as well as a girl that was simply walking with other girls furthermore the teammates insist that he was unloading gunfire as well as rockets on the areas that were not known to have enemy forces now it all sounds pretty horrendous but some members of congress are speaking up on any gallagher's behalf congressman duncan hunter not only defends eddy's actions but says that based on his own experiences serving in iraq killing civilians is just part of the job so i was an artillery officer and we fired hundreds of rounds in a palooza right killed probably hundreds of civilians if not scores of not hundreds of civilians probably killed women and children if there were any left in the in the city when we invaded so do i get judged too in addition to the other crimes that he is charged with taking a photograph of himself next to the corpse of a captured i still combatant that he allegedly stabbed to death now congressman duncan hunter says that taking photographs with dead bodies is not uncommon i think
7:03 am
. there's. a lot of this. so we've got a sitting member of congress who is now if that he himself is guilty of the crimes for which eddie gallagher is now charged now what about pentagon was in military courts if mistreatment of the dead were committed intentionally it could be considered a violation of the law of war u.s. service members have been charged and punished under the uniform code of military justice for posing for pictures with human casualties by any standard. war crimes tribunal he should be brought up on charges this idea that there is 5 year and 7 year statute of limitations actually not true. of course there are nazi war criminals that 30 and 50 years later are still brought up on charges and every one of the people in the us officers and commanders who are guilty of
7:04 am
war crimes should and ultimately will get caught up on charges of war crimes keep in mind that trump has already pardoned michael brown hen a former soldier convicted of killing a prisoner trump's critics say that sends a bad message will look at a lot of different partners for a lot of different people some of these soldiers are people that have fought hard for you know we teach him how to be great fighters and then when they fight sometimes they get really treated very unfairly in this case the president is also the commander in chief of the armed forces so he is in fact undercutting the rules and regulations that contribute to good order and discipline in the military and that to me is anathema and it's immoral those who committed the crimes such as duncan hunter defending the crimes or a navy seal operations chief edward gallagher he is facing
7:05 am
a pardon this elected representative is to say no charges and yet chelsea manning julian a song and albums for revealing these crimes are facing very heavy charges now that shows the absolute wallace of united states war today that's the way they conduct war. china's president xi jinping has arrived in russia for a 3 day state visit he'll start things off by meeting his russian counterpart vladimir putin for talks has more on what's planned for the trip. russian president is hosting a major russia china event ahead inside the kremlin walls and in fact beyond them now the chinese leader is set to kick off his official visit to the russian capital by meeting a russian president his counterpart vladimir putin and they're going into all sorts of stuff because 70 years of diplomatic relationships is
7:06 am
a big deal for both countries and well they're not going to just focus on the economic development between the 2 countries like for instance in the energy sector will within the framework solve the belts and road summits about a road corporation program you know what they're going to discuss all sorts of international crises as well sort of seize this opportunity they're going to talk north korea the situation in a word about the about the diplomacy and how to resolve these sanctions fuel crisis that north korea has itself and broiled on of course pyongyang being a major protege of china this is a good a good country this is a good leadership to talk to now to run is going to come into spotlight as well the situation in venezuela and so on and so forth and now this is the this is what we can to expect when it comes to the will of gender to the official agenda so to
7:07 am
speak but this is not all because when the official pod reps up here inside the kremlin the 2 leaders are going to go to the most schools zoo of all places and they get there they're going to attend the official ceremony of china gifting passing over the 2 big pounders the to the more schools will in fact the facility in moscow is going to have a whole special area opened and dedicated just to those 2 beautiful creatures now this is something of an unprecedented move so to speak because world you know the chinese very keen on its ownership of pandas and it is very very caring when it comes to those creatures and been found. muscovites had a chance to check out into welcome a big pond as all of this soil in their hometown was back in 2001 these 2 animals i'm talking about are going to get well i'm going to aus ng so to speak here and now i will be following the official parts inside the chrome in here

and bringing you all the latest updating you throughout the day. it's already day 3 of donald trump state visit to the u.k. today he's in portsmouth joining the queen and prime minister tracy may for the 75th anniversary of the d.-day landings and world war 2 the event will also be attended by french president emanuel mccrone german chancellor angela merkel and other european leaders right now you can see live pictures from the city where people are gathering for the commemorations now on tuesday the u.s. president spent the day in talks with his british counterpart and they reaffirmed the special relationship between britain and america. the extraordinary alliance between the american and the british people it's the greatest alliance the world has ever known i've always believed that cooperation and compromise on the basis of strong alliances and nowhere is this more true that
7:09 am
in the special relationship trump and may also discussed iran brags that the prospects of a trade deal and security concerns over chinese tech giant wall way u.s. president said that a phenomenal trade deal was possible once the u.k. has that it has very around both sides committed to ensuring terrans will never develop nuclear weapons and although they disagreed on the threat posed by war way they vowed to protect intelligence sharing our correspondent should be edward stuff she has more on the talks called the 2 not always seeing eye to eye on politics but today finding some common ground around the special relationship donald trump going so far to say the relation. britain is the greatest alliance in the world and on the issue of the brics it he mentioned that there will be phenomenal opportunities for trade links and trade deals in the post britain as the u.k. makes preparations to exit the european union the united states is committed to
7:10 am
a phenomenal trade deal between the u.s. and the u.k. there is tremendous potential in the trade deal now he seemed to be almost reading from a script because he moved away from his usual famous candid approach but he kept that behavior at bay apart from when talking about jeremy corbett and in fact we actually sort of this. is the process i have to tell you because i commented on it yesterday we left the prime minister the queen the royal family there were thousands of people on the streets cheering and even coming over today there were thousands of people cheering and then i heard that there were protests i said where are the protests i don't see any protests i did see a small protest today when i came 1st ball so a lot of it is fake news i hate to say thousands of protesters took to the streets to condemn his policies surrounding climate change immigration international relations and of course the issues surrounding women and.
7:11 am
was. an aside the policing issue how much is all of this costing what in terms of costing it seems like trump has out trump himself as this is the most. state visit in british history. we are stardust the chances of a trade deal with still not sorted. of course she's the outgoing prime minister and she's always she not on his wavelength i always sleep he seems more in shouldn't. be will probably be coming in and also with us so for raj correction i think britain is moving in the same direction of the united states and policy at all makes trade if we are as i said if we can get those fabulous trade deals with the united states great for britain great for breaks it well you know perhaps it is
7:12 am
really undermined a lot of the international power of the u.k. despite what their own leaders will say they're so busy every single day trying to figure out how to leave the european union what does going to look like that i can't imagine they won't be exhausted when they get to the negotiation table about specific. trade deals and certainly there is some pushback about some things that donald trump wants certain types of education for instance and how they're being prepared being brought over he wants to consumers to decide whether they will purchase or not and he's made that quite clear when it comes to the negotiation table there are so many things yet to be understood about whether it's going to mean about leaving the e.u. that the u.s. might just get a little bit more than its bargain for because of that weakness. well it wasn't just the prime minister waiting to meet trump at downing street someone else was also there to give him the perfect welcome.
7:13 am
human rights lawyers are planning to sue the european union and connection with migrant deaths they argue that thousands of people needlessly lost their lives crossing the mediterranean sea we spoke with 2 of the lawyers bringing the case on brian grow and omar shots we're talking about one of the most serious situations in terms of. crimes committed since the beginning of the century 14000 people died
7:14 am
and we show that there was a clear consciousness and willingness to let part of them all these people out today intercepted by day in. a treated said to be in close to god and now being detained i'll be to be in detention camps and he told you how was this and where they are exposed to these crimes it's not that it's going to investigating the in the forest in congo it's very easy task to go to their career perrysburg living room in brussels going to the archives and there to mind who was the most responsible for those crimes the influx of refugees to the e.u. from 2015 to 2017 involving more than one and a half 1000000 people over 12000 are reported to have died making their way over or are missing southern european countries in particular italy greece and spain where the main entry points. in the e.u. spokesperson refused to comment on what they branded a non-existent legal action saying only that it was
7:15 am
a priority of the block to protect human lives but lawyers though say the e.u. has failed in that we really hope for for a huge tragedy in this sense something that the international criminal court doesn't known for a simple reason there's been several levels of responsibility and we have to very clearly distinguish from those who executive that we did and those who created the objectives that triggered this execution and you cannot just you have to distinguish between people like the ministry of interior. and the commissioner if you say your most and then another lever the director front takes and then another lever diminish a. vote but what we show is that they are all connected in a common for that which was to systematically and widespread in the uk civil population and therefore to commit. to commit crimes against humanity.
7:16 am
as many serious turn noble has hit the top of the ratings and r t one spoke to one of those involved in the disaster that started more after the break. join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. what is it going to coin is magic internet the new type of digital currency decentralized digital scarcity chancellor. of 2nd for bankers call the genesis blog for reason because being is civil disobedience a source of optimism because i can control my own financial destiny it's just
7:17 am
a new way of coming to consensus it's a game changer in the human history of this columbus discovering the new world this paradigm shifting technology that transforms economics and finance in a heartbeat the apollo 11 landing on to the max and stacey. welcome back the latest h.b.o. many serious trouble is proving a huge hit and it has also generated intense interest in the 1986 nuclear disaster one of the key figures in the clean up operation after the tragedy was the soviet major general talk on of he was in charge of the so-called liquidators division tasked with removing radioactive material from the chernobyl site talk on the says
7:18 am
the disaster will stay with him forever. i spent 2 years of my life in hospital but i was still in the army i returned to service as deputy chief of staff of the russian civil defense but 2 years later my symptoms caught up with me again my doctor said you will be suffering the rest of your life chernobyl will never let go of you the chernobyl disaster shocked the soviet union more than 30 years ago is considered to be the largest nuclear accident in history as almost 600000 people were affected by the blast at the nuclear plant it's thought up to 4000 will die early as a result as radiation levels in the upper sun are massively higher than a lethal dose a quiet talk on of again recalls what happened. when i spent 3 months. the hardest part as far as i remember was when we came in by
7:19 am
helicopter we hovered above the reactor and it was simply frightening to view the results of the catastrophe i could not even imagine something like that what kind of a nuclear catastrophe could destroy that giant construction made of armored concrete about 300000 cubic meters of soil where excavated collected and brought to a special disposal area immediately after that the radiation level in the area decreased a 1000 times that allowed us to tell the soldiers to enter the station and start deactivating the facility i usually give the scientists and others credit for the very important job they did there but ordinary soldiers were the main heroes. radiation sickness for example i could shave and accidentally cut myself and the bleeding would not stop a small scratch wouldn't heal for weeks it's scary just to think about it my dear
7:20 am
wife who was a ph d. took very good care of me i was taking a ton of pills and i still am in my kitchen i have about 8 different kinds of medicine i take them 3 times a day. with the character really looks like i mean i really like you know i almost fell in love with him then the division commander assembled his men and this scene was included because i stood in front of the soldiers and said men our people are tired of the constant reports about this huge disaster at chernobyl we have to get rid of the consequences of this catastrophe all of you are volunteers and if anyone does not want to continue please leave the team you have one minute to make a decision over a word no one will blame you for it because it's your life and i am responsible for it. the end of the bank card looks ny in china where a payments have surged and popularity meanwhile chinese electronic pay service pay
7:21 am
has tripled the number of its european merchants and analysts have reports on the trend. so i'm buying this item with one of the most common payment apps here in china alley pay. 0. there it is i just speak straight from my phone answer their bank account and no banks between us and then no way there's any bank that made feet out of my transaction so you're probably wondering now how does this all work fuck this item for simply $0.60 us if i use my big account which will be connected to us payment i would have to actually pay a certain fee for it and if i bought it offline i would have to pay up to 2 percent if i bought it online i would have to pay 2.3 to 2.5 percent even if i used apple pay i would still have to pay a certain amount a fee because it's connected to my bake account but i'm currently in china and i don't even need a bank account to buy this item so we went around and asked people to see how often
7:22 am
they use payment apps such as hourly pay and we chat and whether they even have a bank account at all i use my bio payment food $250.00 times a day you switch on it so convenient. you meant is convenient we need isn't my loaf around with nothing but you my phone. i have friends and we chat it's convenient for transferring money to buy chinese mobile payment ups are not only limited within china there are now spreading outwards and so the united states and canada i only play which is the largest chinese company in its field is now operating in the united states and canada but it's only limiting itself for chinese tourists there but just the thought that this company or these type of companies could potentially be spreading outwards outside of china is bringing big headaches to u.s. banking businesses according to a new report the banks are sets of make 43 dollars 2020 from transaction fees in the united states alone so if these ups managed to get
7:23 am
a similar market share in the united states as they enjoy here in china that would be big sis for those banks so more and more of these questions now are popping up with the most. i mean one being do we really need retail banking in our everyday life is a question that the baking in there she would rather you weren't asking americans might block the particular chinese companies but they complicate the overall trend and i think it's basically been a in sense not so much of a single firm monopoly is an industry sector monopoly of course now we have the presidents of here who are being blocked by america on the telecommunications argument which is slightly digital meant but at the same time it's because china has a large leap on america in this technology in sense of china's apps i'm sure they'll do something to block them as is all part of trump's tried war so it's more likely going to work is if those companies lawson's this off with other companies based in europe or maybe even in america or if other companies just basically emulate what the chinese applications are doing and therefore it will still be
7:24 am

greetings and salyut asians for many the very heart of the united states of america bigs to the tune of guns capitalism and apple pie visit any hardcore republican campaign stop or festival and you will fire in the signage the speeches the t. shirts even the balloons will more than likely reflect our nation's love of all things capitalism and the 2nd amendment's right to bear arms and you'll probably find some apple pies there as well or at least you know hostess fruit pie or $23.00 or 4 but what happens hawk watchers when the rights of capitalism collide with the rights of gun owners sales force the tech giant that specializes in using cloud technology to better connect businesses to their customers recently announced that

they are no longer in the gun business the company's new policy now forbids its customers the businesses from using their software in the selling of certain firearms the birds reports that the ban applies to semiautomatic weapons 3 d. printed guns and a range of assessed reason quoting large capacity magazines and devices the make semiautomatic guns fully automatic now this naturally has not gone over too well with the 2nd amendment crowd writing for the federalist margolies current manager of public affairs for the national shooting sports foundation declares this is corporate virtue signaling at best at worst it isn't a effort to squeeze out of existence the industry that makes it possible for american citizens to exercise their 2nd amendment rights. but as business ethics speaker bruce weinstein writes and forbes this is a rare corporate decision that both the left and the right democrats and republicans and all red blooded pro-business patriotic americans should support.
