the most the fans of. the show great. you're watching our change a national bringing you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. a lot of my food and has held talks with his chinese counterpart who was arrive today in moscow for a state visit both leaders made a joint statement following their meeting you know across live for more details what exactly did the leaders have to say. overall it has been a very warm meet. explain. expressed pleasantries lefts and rights the russian leader calling this the events of the year when it comes to the bilateral

relations between russia and china and he's counterpart kind of room in this ng to the long relationship history between personal relationship history between him and . i'm appalled and how warm it has been but now the 2 delegations have seized this opportunity to talk not just local not just a russia china relations but also they tapped into you know major international crises they've discussed the situations in iran and venezuela and syria you know and beyond that and to the russian leader vladimir putin he has summed up what are the breached in the media conference that kind of wrapped up the official part have a listen. to the national threat russia and china have common views on the situation in the korean peninsula and follow the joint roadmap and resolution of the situation the noting that there is no water in it if 2 diplomacy for solving existing problems will continue to work with china for the escalation of tensions

and strengthening security in this region will also continue working for a peaceful resolution in syria and venezuela we remain committed to the iran nuclear deal. but of course going back to the relations between russia and china well we've seen we've witnessed a lot of documents a lot of business deals signed today here in the kremlin you know when the moscow crumlin just behind me about one of the big breakthroughs that i i can point out to you is a prospect of the chinese smartphone giant huawei bringing the 5 g. mobile internet technology to russia in fact the representatives of what way have met with their russian counterparts with the representatives of one of the major russian mobile carriers so in fact the 1st testing is set to begin as soon as this year but all of this brings us kind of back to the international agenda because of

course while away has been in the epicenter over the china u.s. trade war when google banded from accessing its android technology and other technology. g.'s and some other you know high tech giants also have refused to do business with the chinese wall way and so it is quite expected a should see i should say it was quite expected from the chinese leader to talk about the policy over sanctioning and unilateralism the way he did it. we discussed the development of our bilateral relations since their standards when 70 years ago and included they've reached an unprecedented level new possibilities have opened for us the world is changing protectionism and unilateralism a raising the heads china and russia as leading world powers will protect the international system based on international law and multilateral trade.

now to seal everything positive being have that has been achieved today and to kind of underline the friendship between the 2 nations that the 2 leaders seek to achieve the chinese leader and the russian leader vladimir putin and huge ing ping they said to set off to the more schools places. because they're going to attend the official ceremony of the chinese gifting 2 giant pandas to the most school facility there's going to be a whole area dedicated to the creatures quite a special move by china because well we all know the how carrying the giant pandas about about these species so that is of course that would be it for today but in the upcoming few chain the next couple of days the chinese need is said to set off to st petersburg where he will take part in the st petersburg business for

a month so we could expect more business deals to come out of that. bigger is all i'm saying across the chinese present state visit thank you. a u.s. military judge has removed. the lead prosecutor in the case of a navy seal accused of committing war crimes one week before the trial the serviceman has pleaded not guilty to the charges and the republican congressman himself a former soldier recently defended the accused in a way that shocked some parties and explains. 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 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 rain 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 . there's. a lot of this. so we've got

a sitting member of congress who is now it mid in that he himself is guilty of the crimes for which any 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 war crimes should and ultimately will go 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 trumps critics say that sends a bad message we'll look at a lot of different forces for a lot of different people some of these soldiers are people that have fought hard for the war 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 a pardon this elected representative is to say no charges and yet chelsea manning julian a songs and albums for revealing these crimes are facing

very heavy charges now that shows the absolute wallace of the united states war today that's the way they conduct war. human rights lawyers are planning to sue the european union in connection with migrant deaths they argue thousands of people needlessly lost their lives crossing the mediterranean sea they say migrants rights were violated in numerous ways by the e.u. for example by scaling back rescues in 2014 and hampering the work of n.g.o.s they also slammed the decision to send 40000 migrants back to dangerous camps in libya and to help libyan coast guards catch migrant boats the lawyers allege certain statements made by e.u. leaders make it clear they were aware of the risks we spoke with 2 of the lawyers on bronco 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

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 to be in close to god and now being detained. in detention camps and he told you how is this where they are exposed to these crimes it's not that it's going to investigating in the forest in congo it's a very easy task to go to the perrysburg living room and go into the archives and there to mine who was the most responsible for those crimes the influx of refugees to the e.u. from 2015 to 2017 involved more than one and a half 1000000 people more than 12000 are reported to have died making their way over or missing southern european countries in particular italy greece and spain were the main entry points in the e.u. spokesperson refused to comment on what they branded a non existent legal action saying only it was

a priority of the block to protect human lives the lawyers however say the e.u. has failed in that. we really hope for for a huge trial in this sense something that the international criminal court has a known for simple reason there's been virtually. several levels of responsibility and we have to very clearly distinguish from those who executive that we did and who created the objectives that triggered this execution and you cannot this you have to distinguish between people like the ministry of interior. and the commissioner of the e.u. it's the most. other lever the director frontex and then another lever diminish a. vote but what we show is that they are all connected in a common plan which was to systematically and widespread in the uk civil population and therefore to commit crimes against humanity the most responsible doctors which are the agents into. these policy that designed it and had to stablish it to

achieve their own political goal and goal is to stand migration to europe. the australian broadcasting corporation is vowing to continue reporting without fear after government forces carried out a raid on its sydney headquarters as part of a scandal engulfing the country and also answers on the publication of these so-called afghan files which prompted the authorities to target journalists. the search was in relation to allegations of publishing classified material contrary to provisions of the crimes act of 1914 this is the result of supporting documentation or material being presented to the court which provides sufficient suspicion that a criminal offense has been committed. the finals were published in 2017 and expose operations by australian special forces in afghanistan the report alleges war crimes including the killing of innocent children and unarmed civilians one case involved the killing of

a man and his son allegedly shot by mistake while they slept and then the other case an afghan detainee was shot dead after being left alone with an australian soldier the shocking revelations were leaked to the media by former defense lawyer david mcbride he says he tried to draw officials attentions to the seriousness of the crimes before ultimately going public earlier this year the whistleblower was charged with 5 counts of leaking classified information and is expected to stand trial meanwhile a.b.c. says the raid resists concerns over the freedom of the press and public scrutiny of defense issues the broadcaster says it stands by the reporting and will continue to work in the public interest now for more on this we go to journalist and political analyst underhill check now how unprecedented are these raids and what kind of message do they send to media professionals. well of course this is getting more and more ridiculous we see what happened to julian assange. recently and we

also see 3 cases no we don't still it was. also the report that will say that just because that he board. talking about the immigrant both bringing refugee status early and shores and we see the a.b.c. case and we see other 3rd case of the journalist who was talking about or i think about increasing the bail or. by the government in australia so this is becoming quite a. big story but the stanley has a history and for some only can testify to this because when i was covering oceania for instance we were at a bear. over forces to visit the refugee camps in a dollar to. a chicken serving as a refugee camp for really a outside of its shores or a couple honey style. game across the local but they

believe what i wanted to investigate whether it's abuses most or only and force is there so this is nothing can you believe this actually excel or anything it is becoming. quite difficult for them whilst really and police to do operate. in this environment now the afghan files have revealed details many would argue were in the public interests a government must know it's not going to win much sympathy for such a crackdown then so why do it. well i think the bar lation over here without incident. by the united states by u.k. and by. well so signature is so. enormous that actually this is going to come to. our assistance to attention of the public it will be probably even boy pretty locks

norms of the 1st public i think it will be it will be an acceptable. story earlier those have all really all but a bad record where everybody gets involved the broad they'll be. beaten on harley start in a boston so they station. journalists and political analysts under of all text thank you so much for joining us on the program thank you so much. for coming out of the new h.b.o. show about chernobyl has been a huge hit but it's also brought back the horrors of the disaster and race and questions about the past that after a break. what

politicians do you know some people. put themselves on the line they get accept or reject. so when you want to present. some water. to the right person this is what. 3 of the 4 people. are still using the water.

welcome back germany has rejected fresh greek calls to negotiate over war reparations with berlin branding the issue legally settled it years ago once more than 290000000000 euro in damages for the death of tens of thousands of greeks of the hands of the nazis and for forcing the greek central bank to lend hitler money for his war machine we go live now to our teams maria finishing up for more on this now why the police keep demanding the money if germany continues to refuse to pay it. high well i guess that's because one side believes the matter was settled a long time ago while the other side disagrees we hear from greece's foreign ministry that the country's ambassador filed a formal request inviting berlin to take part in negotiations over war reparations

athens claims indeed that germany greece billions of euros for damages and sufferings in the 2 world wars and here is how the greek foreign minister explains why they believe this is very important. the greek government it was the german government through negotiation for the practical satisfaction of these did which are of particular importance to the greek people as a material issue. well i have to say didn't start today or yesterday they are early in april there was the. greek parliament is decision to force germany to pay and although there was no any concrete figure discussed or mentioned we know that back in 20163 years ago the country's parliament reka miti estimated that the claim could amount at around $308000000000.00 euros minimum germany as you know has rejected to join the talks claiming that it's war time dads were all well set

a long time ago it's worth a mention that greece is not the only country addressing germany with such claims poland in a similar request as us can believe in to pay war so up to $1.00 trillion euros in reparations for damages had suffered during the 2nd world war. artist maria from the ocean of thank you for bringing us that report. the latest h.b.o. miniseries true noble is proving a huge hit and 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 neglect on account of he was in charge of the so-called liquidators division tasked with removing radioactive material from the term noble site to a common says the disaster will stay with him forever. it is that over there 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 that your noble disaster sent shock waves around the world more than 30 years ago it's considered to be the largest nuclear accident in history and almost 600000 people were affected by the blast at the nuclear plant and thought at least 4000 died as a result as radiation levels at the epicenter were massively higher than a lethal dose they call it telecom love again recalls what happened. when i spent 3 months a chair no go the hardest part as far as i remember it was when we came in by 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 grade 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 as 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 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. 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 and sure nobody 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 no one will blame you for it because it's your life and i am responsible for it. that's a news break down for this hour and that's all for me as well today but why not neil harvey will be taking over and about 30 minutes thanks for tuning in wherever you may be.

nobody could see coming that false confessions would be that prevalent in the small place the fall of the. head any interrogations out there what you'll see is threat promise threat promise threat lie a lie a lie 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 denial. she said if i were. sad to stay 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 solving a crime. of

greetings and salyut ations for many the very heart of the united states of america big 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 or 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 for 2 or 3 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 bird's 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 mark a levy 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. friends let the ol american may have begin as pro-business capitalism rights advocates take on pro-gun rights advocates as we start watching the home it's. pretty. good that's like. it's like. the bottom. like you that i got. with. the. world they were in the watching dogs i am tyrone ventura i'm a lot that's. what i did and it.
