and we fired hundreds of rounds in a palooza probably hundreds of civilians probably killed women and children and there were left in the new city when we invaded so do i get george to. speak to 2 human rights lawyers who compiled a case against the e.u. intending to sue the block of the deaths of thousands of migrants in the mediterranean. to systematically and work for the. civil population of the most responsible doctors we charge you agents in the us to systematically and work for the. civil population of the most responsible doctors we charge you agents in the. design. thanks for joining us this midnight here in moscow you're watching international. pressure in china have reached an unprecedented level of friendship she chimping

delivered those warm words shortly after talks in moscow with vladimir putin dozens of different agreements were also signed following the meeting as the story. well it has been overall a very warm meeting the sides have exchanged pleasantries well left and right i should say the russian leader vladimir putin calling this visit the events of the year when it comes to the relations between moscow and beijing and she jingping reminiscing kind of reminiscing to the long history of very warm and friendly personal relations that he's had with lattimer putin delegations seize the opportunity to tap into international crises like the situation in iran and venezuela in syria and so on and so forth the russian leader vladimir putin in the closing major conferences summed up what they agreed on. structure in china have common views on the situation in the korean peninsula and follow the joint road map

resolution of the situation the noting that there is no alternative to diplomacy for solving existing problems we'll 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 now when it comes to russia china relations we have seen lots of business documents signed deals is sealed but one of the most exciting developments that i should probably point out is the prospect of the chinese smartphone giant huawei bringing the 5 g. mobile internet technology to russia they've already met their russian counterparts the representatives of one of the major mobile carriers here in russia and they've agreed on you know getting this thing go in and in fact the testing of the 5 g. to knology here in russia could begin as soon as this year but now all of this kind of brings the international agenda back in the frame because one way has been the

epicenter of a nasty trade war between the u.s. and china especially after google refused to google bandit from accessing its android technology and other companies phone. so really it is no wonder that the chinese leader xi jinping talked about unilateralism the way he did. we discussed the development of our bilateral relations since there are standard 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 that was it for today but in the next few days the chinese leader said to go to sing petersburg and to a business forum and the world judging by what happened today think it could be expected that it will be kind of like today but on steroids the chinese leader

arrived in moscow with presents for his russian counterpart xi jinping handed pandas 2. oh. this. is you know. the. international affairs commentator jonathan steele says that russia china relations are now better than ever. friendship is. stronger than it is the moment is almost never sure if you can find disagreement. $150000000000.00. sounds enormous and it comes at

a time. when chinese american tensions even higher because of the trade that's been imposed by china well i think it's a kind of warning to the west. to say. united states or can china. get together. this russian china american triangle american china. russia has. u.s. military judge has removed the lead prosecutor in the case of a navy seal accused of committing war crimes just one week before the trial the service minister guilty to the charges the republican congressman himself a former soldier recently defended the accused in a way that the show some. more pain 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 a 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 who 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 experience is 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 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 . a lot of us. so we've got a sitting member of congress who is now admitting that he himself is guilty of the crimes for which any gallagher is now charged now what about pentagon war and 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. norms or war crimes trial he should be brought up on charges this idea of the 5 year and

7 year statute of limitations actually not true. course there are nazi war criminals that 30 and 50 years later. still brought up on charges and 31 people in the u.s. officers and commanders who are guilty of 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 trumps critics say that sends a bad message we're looking 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 our. elected representative he said no charges and yet chelsea manning julian assange and. 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 and 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 sea rescues in 2014 and how pretty the work of n.g.o.s they also slammed the decision to send 40000 migrants back to dangerous camps in libya and libyan coast guards catch migrant boats the lawyers allege certain statements made by e.u. leaders make it clear that they were aware of the risks we spoke with the lawyers one bronco and omissions. we're talking about one of the most serious situations in terms of tyrion and crimes committed since the beginning of the century 14000 people died and we showed that there was a clear consciousness and willingness to let part of them all these people out today intercepted by day in a. closed gut 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 the in the forest in congo it's very easy task to go to the

burning room and go into the archives and the to mine who was the most responsible for those crimes. well the influx of refugees to the e.u. from 2015 to 2017 involved more than one in a 1000000 people 12000 to have died making their way over or all missing so then european countries in particular italy greece and spain with the main points and you spokesperson refused to comment on what they branded a nonexistent legal action saying only it was a priority of the block to protect human lives the lawyers say the e.u. has failed and that. we really hope for for a huge try in this sense something that the international criminal court doesn't known for a simple reason there's been very civil level of responsibility and we have to very clearly distinguish those who executive that we did and who created the objectives

that triggered this execution and you cannot you have to distinguish between people like the ministry of interior. and the commissioner if you see the most and then another lever the director frontex and then another lever the militia leaders of libya both but what we show is that they are all connected in a common plan which was to systematically and widespread the dark side. population and therefore it to commit crimes against humanity the most responsible doctors which are the u.s. agents and officials that are orchestrating this policy that designed it and it did stablish it to achieve their own political goal and goals to the immigration to europe. history in broadcasting corporation is vowing to continue reporting without fear after government forces carried out a raid on its sydney h.q. as part of a scandal that single thing the country it all centers on the publication of the

so-called afghan files that prompted the authorities to target journalists across the media 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 files were published in 2017 and exposed operations by australian special forces in afghanistan the report alleges war crimes including the killing of innocent children an unarmed civilians one case involved the killing of a man and his son allegedly shot by mistake while they slept in another case an afghan detainee was shot dead after being left alone with an australian soldier the shocking revelations were leaked to the media by the former defense lawyer david mcbride he says he tried to draw officials attention to the seriousness of the crimes before alternately going public earlier this year the whistleblower was

charged with 5 counts of leaking classified information he's expected to stand trial meanwhile a.b.c. says that the raid raises concerns over freedom of the press and public scrutiny of defense issues the broadcaster says it stands by the reporting of will continue to work in the public interest we've got reaction to the story from our guests. i think the violation over here whether it's in a palace down by one of the united states by u.k. and by all still year is the core of so civil use 000-000-0000 crore was the actual if this is going to come to. our use the tension of the public it will be probably evil boy the boy the body likes normalcy of the verse the of public i think it will be will be buried oh it will be an acceptable. and those through in those who should all really very bad the records already gets in malta broads will be. beaten up on

a star in the boston so they station these and eventually some very dedicated and what message not see them stopping but this very dangerous thing this generous said about this is whether this was because lots this the genesis question well yes and against shared with these sources that they are 1 you saying people's lives that they are very much at risk which is the agenda and the arrests of these investigations the particular release of the file it's house and something you know some of the distribution and for those in the. history of the military the sense the revelation of this and also seemed to be that refs fence rather than actually seen the s.e.'s knitting fry the issue has been more than those

revealing of those crimes committed to. germany has rejected fresh greek calls to negotiate over war reparations with the berlin claiming the issue was legally settled is ago auntie's braff a national has. we hear from greece's foreign ministry that the country's ambassador file. at formal request inviting berlin to take part in negotiations over war reparations athens claims indeed that germany owes greece billions of euros for damages and sufferings in the 2 world wars one side believes the matter was settled long time ago while the other side disagrees here is how the greek foreign minister explains why they believe this is very important. government it was the german government to a negotiation for the practical satisfaction of these demands which are of particular importance to the greek people as a moral and material issue well i have to say didn't start today or yesterday there

earlier in april there was the greek parliament's 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 parliamentary committee estimated that the claim could add around $308000000000.00 euros minimum germany 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. the latest h.b.o. mini series chernobyl is proving to be a huge hit it's also generated intense interest in the $986.00 nuclear disaster one of the key figures in the clean up operation after the tragedy was the soviet major

general nicholas karloff he was in charge of the so-called liquidators division tasked with removing radioactive material from the chernobyl site of says the disaster will stay with him forever. is there were 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. the chernobyl disaster sent shock waves around the world more than 30 years ago that's considered to be the largest nuclear accident in history almost 600000 people were affected by the blast at the nuclear plant is thought at least 4000 died as a result radiation levels at the epicenter were massively higher than a lethal dose a clot i recall of again recalls what happened. when

i spent 3 months the chernobyl the hardest part as far as i remember 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 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 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 while 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 and your it was 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 the men our people are tired of the constant reports about the huge disaster at your 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 over a word no one will blame you for it because it's your life and i am responsible for

it. the death of the bank card looks and die in china where payments have surged in popularity meanwhile chinese electronic pay service alley pay has tripled the number of its europe emergence bundler cips us reports. 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 they are 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 u.s. 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 they use payment app such as hourly pay and we chat and whether they even have a bank account at all i use my bio human food to $50.00 times that they use we charge it so convenient. is convenient we need is a mobile phone to go around with nothing but you my phone and i have friends and we choose it's convenient for transferring money to them but chinese mobile payment apps are not only limited within china there are now spreading outwards and so the united states and canada alley 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 set to make 43 dollars 2020 from transaction fees in the united states alone so if these ups managed to get 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 calm. and 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 a particular chinese companies but they complicate the overall trend and i think has basically been in since 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 terms of china's apps i'm sure they'll do something to block them as is all part of trump's trade war so it's more likely going to work is if those companies lawson's this off with other companies post in

europe or maybe even in america or if other companies just basically emulate what the chinese applications are doing and therefore will still be a danger to the banks. u.s. president don't come today visited the u.k. city of paul smithy join the queen and a number of world leaders for the 75th anniversary of the d.-day landings in world war 2 and the speech the president thanks the people of the united kingdom and the united states for defeating the nazi regime normandy landings when the only turning point in the 2nd world war. the 6th of june 1944 the allies land in normandy is often touted is the key turning point in world war 2. d.-day can be found across mass culture in books music. films. have smoked famously and hollywood's saving private ryan.

is frequently cited speeches here in normandy the rescue began. here the allies stood and fought against tyranny in a giant undertaking unparalleled in human history. but this was a war with more than one turning point when that 2nd front was opened the soviet army had been advancing in multiple directions and had reached bella ruse the battle of stalingrad the 1st major loss for the nazis was already a distant memory to compare numbers about $640000.00 nazi soldiers took part in the normandy battle nazi losses in stalingrad total $1500000.00 allied losses in normandy would 226004 times less than the soviet soldiers killed in stalingrad in 1943 u.s. president roosevelt called the battle of stalingrad the crucial moment of the war

but the facts now don't seem that important. the american way of the free of our victory in that war decided not just a century but it will endure for eternity we did ok because we know how to win. next thing without international law but with updates and often out. of the project was good if you give up on your birth or like if you misses it or don't blame people but. none of them want the response from the old people some of the indoor. given our school years i assure you i'm older to sit

back for got just before this new the no plus year you presume this loop i'm going to your most here to meet him he's doing this in both of us and i was building an evening continue going to spin bowling isn't winning if there's just you kind of face it. you know you are never stopped because. you're going to freak you out it's because you're going to tell you before the war you're more you would almost today. if the whole truth i'm doing is going to. kill me. but really only someone who knows the reward money i'm going to start with the most wins and also a way as to. when the whole make gets manufactured to sentenced him to public wealth. when the ruling

classes protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent of. the time we can all middle of the. stick. to the. low and welcome to crossfire all things considered i'm peter lavelle has the time come for google and other big tech companies there's a growing consensus the near monopoly status of many of these companies is bad for competition bad for the consumer and even for freedom of speech no doubt silicon
