it's going to sting boeing is an inning a very risky kind of case if. you are nice to us because. you're going to be tried to be as good as you move to you will work for you more you will with almost 2 days of. the old freedom doing. so list only when the only solution is the. new start for the most. and also way yes. a u.s. democratic senate slams the trumpet ministration for giving the green light to sharing sensitive nuclear technology with saudi arabia it was done just days after the killing of the dissidents. the trumpet ministration has broken this precedent they kept it secret i worry that they're trying to hide information or sweetheart

deal in this that they don't want the american public to know in the headlines this morning the leader of the world's most populous country meets the president of the world's biggest nation russia and china push for improved bilateral ties and the growing pressure from the united states. and journalists of a threat to press freedom in whistleblowers say in australia off the police raids on the media over the disclosure of classified data. which told that i'm not the target of this investigation it's about the people who were supposed to keep the stuff confidential. good morning on am this thursday right here in moscow now my name is kevin omer of you what she run the world happy days going good so far this is r.t. international 1st in the headlines a u.s. senator is demanding an investigation into clandestine nuclear technology transfers

from the u.s. to saudi arabia center said tim kaine who obtained the information from the energy department called the news dangerous i worry that they're trying to hide information that would that would maybe lead us to uncover that there are some you know corruption or or sweetheart deal in this that they don't want the american public to know the concerns around the timing of the approval that was signed off just 2 weeks after the brutal killing of saudi dissident journalist jamal khashoggi for which several high level saudi officials were blamed the u.s. energy department did not immediately respond to a request for. comment on cain statement saudi arabia in its turn however does claim that its atomic program is strictly for civil and peaceful uses the us energy department 1st confirmed the transfers back in march should seek knowledge that 7 cases took place cain is also disturbed by the level of covertness that surrounded the transfers and that no time reference has been given by the trump administration

caleb maupin picks up more of the story. the fact that the trumpet administration provided nuclear technical expertise to the saudi monarchy has got some in congress pretty rattled the trump administration has broken this precedent they kept it secret we found out in march that they had done a number of transfers to saudi arabia it turns out that right after the show he was murdered by the saudis and they were lying about it the administration said fine here here's we'll pass nuclear technology on to you now a quick reminder the killing of the journalist sent shock waves around the world when he was killed in the country's consulate in istanbul now the brutal death apparently sent shock waves throughout the world but it wasn't enough to stop some nuclear deals now it appears that the trump team was rushing perhaps because they thought the fallout from the killing would make it more controversial at a later date and following the shoji case a bipartisan group of legislators did indeed pass a law allowing congressional oversight of any nuclear cooperation agreements with

saudi arabia and tom certainly does seem eager to promote nukes how many countries have it iran is going to happen at some point we have to say you know what we're better off if japan protects itself against this maniac in north korea we're better off frankly if south korea is going to start to protect its saudi arabian you know saudi arabia absolutely now let's not forget that saudi arabia is a signatory of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty and they do have a working agreement with the international atomic energy agency however arms control experts raised their eyebrows over the building of a recent nuclear reactor facility do you have to consent to the saudi arabia does not want to acquire any nuclear bomb but without a doubt if iran developed a nuclear bomb we will follow suit as soon as possible now peaceful nuclear energy is certainly permitted and russia has worked with saudi arabia on atomic energy before however russia's agreements with saudi arabia were upfront transparent and they included a signed roadmap on what would and would not be happening with the program the u.s.

secrecy is certainly. frustrating to the point that with any deal done behind closed doors you have to wonder what they're trying to hide caleb up and r.t. new york. state to the state visit by the chinese leader xi jinping here to russia in talks with president putin a reading of touch on the venezuelan crisis around the situation on the korean peninsula among the agreements signed as a deal between chinese tech and the russian telecom company m.t.s. on developing a 5 g. network in russia the 2 countries have also agreed to develop bilateral trade using national currencies the ruble and the yuan. which. russia and china have common views on the situation in the korean peninsula and follow the joint resolution of the situation 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 we also continue working for

a peaceful resolution in syria and venezuela we remain committed to the iran nuclear deal. we discussed the development of our bilateral relations since their standish 170 years ago included they've reached an unprecedented level new possibilities have opened for us the world is changing protectionism and unilateralism a raising their heads china and russia as leading world powers will protect the international system based on international law and multilateral trade she's 3 day state visit to russia mark 70 years of diplomatic relations international affairs commentator jonathan steele told us moscow beijing ties are no better than ever. friendship is hardly ever been stronger than it is the moment there's almost never sure if you can find disagreement to trade degrees $150000000000.00 roughly trade sounds enormous and it comes at a time when russian american tensions are high in chinese american tensions even

higher because of the trade war that's been imposed by donald trump on china well i think it's a kind of warning to the west. to say look russia. the united states or can china and try to get together in the cold war there was this russian china american triangle with american china. russia and russia has supplies united. russia and china. the chinese leader arrived here in moscow bearing gifts to paying out over 2 giant pandas to moscow zoo was part of an ongoing conservation program 3 2.

among. course a state visit also comes amid growing tensions right now between china and the u.s. in their ongoing trade war get to be taking a closer look at that i can tell you a little bit later in the program a few minutes time next the. concerns of a press freedom of been raised in australia after police raids on a prominent journalist and then australia's national broadcaster the a.b.c. itself now the case is not linked police say the searches are based on the disclosing of classified information. the criminalisation and crackdown on national security journalism is spreading like a virus the essential president is already having effect journalists must unite and remember that courage is also contagious this police raid against our partners at a.b.c. is an attack on press freedom which we the b.b.c.

find deeply troubling the australian federal police rate race serious concerns about freedom of the press they could have a chilling in fact on the right of journalists to carry out their jobs the scene might be expected in an authoritarian country but not in a democracy both cases are based on the stories published over a year ago with the help of leaks the a.b.c.'s afghan files were published in 2017 and exposed possible war crimes by us trained in special forces in afghanistan based on secret defense documents and also the home of 1st the political editor of australia's sunday telegraph was raided in relation to a 2018 story she was behind based on secret correspondence between ministries she disclosed a government plan to expand its spying on a stray and citizens further radio host revealed to us that the government is no also investigating how he obtained unauthorized data that boats filled with

refugees to try to reach australia but in the fordham said the focus of the probes not on him though but his source. about an hour after we shared the information we were told that the department of home of peers will investigate this disclosure i was told by home affairs that i'm not the target of this investigation it's about the people who were supposed to keep this stuff confidential last year straight increased penalties for leaking classified data it's no crime for any public official to share unauthorized information the country's prime minister scott morrison defended the raids now saying that there are laws protecting straightly is national security strategy lecturer been on account mark spoke to us about this and thinks it's alarming in fact that the government is more concerned with linkers and with the crimes it committed. scientific tools are very delicate as they work best at engine awesome stopping but this is very dangerous thing as journalists and said . this is whether this was before las vegas the genesis question won't

necessarily go to jail the sources that they are using people's lives they are very much at risk which is the agenda and the arrests of these investigations the particular release of the files has been something you know some of the dissolution and then for those in the. street in military a sense the revelation of this has been also seen to be the graphs fence rather than actually seeing the s.e.'s as that in france the issue has been more those revealing that those crimes committed. generally. human rights lawyers are planning to sue the european union in connection with migrant death they argue thousands of people needlessly lost their lives across the mediterranean they say migrants rights were violated in numerous ways by the e.u. for example by scaling back sea 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 the libyan coast guard stop migrant boat the lawyers allege certain statements made by e.u. leaders made it clear that they were aware of the risks through we spoke to them when bronco and omar shots. talking about one of the most serious situations in terms of going 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 infiltrated caused got and now being detained. in detention camps any soldier how is this where they are exposed to these crimes it's not i was going to investigating the in the forest in congo where it's a very easy task to go to the living room and go into the archives and to mine

who was the most responsible for those crimes the influx of refugees to the e.u. between 2015 and 17 involved more than one and a half 1000000 people more than 12000 are reported to try to make their way over or missing southern european countries in particular the greece and spain where the main entry points lead spokes person refused to comment on what they branded a nonexistent legal action only that it was a priority of the block to protect human lives lawyers though say the e.u. has failed to do that. we really hope for for a huge tried in this sense something that the international criminal court doesn't known for a simple reason there's been very sever level 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 just you have to distinguish between people like the ministry of interior the commissioner if

you see the most and then another lever the director front takes and then another lever the militia leaders of both but what we show is that they are all connected in a common plan which was to systematically and widespread to the. civil population and therefore to commit crimes against humanity the most responsible doctors we agents in the. rating these policy that designed it and had to stablish it to achieve their own political goals to stand migration to europe. this is what she was small it's not exactly 40 minutes past 9 mosco time still ahead with me kevin though and a new round of tensions a spot between the u.s. and china made it all go and big trade well we'll tell you what's happening when we come back.

join me every thursday on the alex simon sure and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. 1 what is it called in. magic the new type of digital currency the centralized digital scarcity chancellor i'm bringing a 2nd for a bank that's called the genesis block for a reason to calling it civil disobedience a source of optimism because i can control my own financial destiny it's just a new way of coming to consensus is a game changer in the human history and this is columbus discovering a new world this paradigm shifting technology that transforms economics and finance in a heartbeat the apollo 11 landing on to the max and stacey. i

think aborning the u.s. has said china's play a blame game and accuse the country of walking back on his trade commitments of the page and put the full responsibility on washington for that stalemate in 11 rounds of negotiations now it comes amid a bruising trade war between the world's 2 biggest economies in may donald trump raise tariffs on $200000000.00 worth of imported goods from china during stall trade talks accusing china of backing out of its commitments that beijing retaliated with $60000000000.00 worth of u.s. imports. that he's ready to tax a century old chinese imports of trump's referred to china as quote our enemy also a major threat the not a friend of the united states but his trade agenda may jeopardize d.

business ties between u.s. politicians and beijing if you're trying to report a lot this morning. the man who leads the republican majority in the senate is very very very proud of the president he's doing so great a bully in china with his trade war tactic their greatest problems in the trade space with china. it's been a long frustrating ongoing problem i think we're all commend the president for taking on that shot is well saying things like that could get mr mcconnell in a bit of trouble with his wife let me tell you something she's the current american secretary of transportation elaine chao and the u.s. journalists who got hold of and looked into this redacted e-mail by an american embassy official believe it shows mrs chalo has a whole lot of business interests in china it turns out allegedly that back in 2017

she was set for an official visit to china and really wanted her family members to be allowed in the room while she was supposed to talk to her chinese counterparts all of a sudden the trip got called off the transportation department never officially explained why that happened although a version did come up that it all could have been due to an urgent meeting with the president. someone find themselves on shaky ground anyway mrs chalis family business ties with china aren't that hard to trace. an unfortunate conflict of interest and trade war hunter's den if you dig further

into the matter though you'll find out there are quite a few folks in the american. eat who'd love a slice of the china cake what if this guy ends up kicking donald trump out of the office would we then have to forget about us china trade wars for 4 years after all joe biden son runs a company that's partially financed by the state run bank of china and mr biden doesn't appear to treat the mission to challenge beijing's economic might as a priority china is going to eat our lunch come on back to the republicans a former house speaker john boehner was once behind the push to make china favored trade partner with the u.s. the most nations of the world almost all the nations of the world have most favored nation trading status and the fact is what we're looking for is the same status for china mr boehner eventually went to work for

a lobbying firm squire patton boggs and this company has a presence in china to say the least the most ironic case is that of donald purdy jr in his resume you'll probably find out that he's helped draft a policy paper known as the u.s. national strategy to secure cyberspace masterminded the national cyber security division and the department of homeland security while. all that to end up as the chief security officer at technologies usa ties between the us establishment in both parties are very very close to the chinese who look at your a girl off a lot of interest in the united states who will say that doing pursuing a certain policy may be bad for america as a country but we don't care about that because it's good for my company to issues divisions within the u.s. policy making apparatus up until trio decided to play hardball with shar china on

terror and with many other countries there were no division. it was a very community relationship our neighbors have the advantage. of having a united position and i don't see those divisions being healed at all i see them getting much much worse. the world is marking the 75th anniversary of the d.-day landings of world war 2 wednesday was the 1st liberation events with world leaders gathering at portsmouth naval memorial in southern england but despite the fact that russia was of course a huge part of the anti hitler coalition back then president putin was invited these days the days the military term for the 1st day of the normandy landing in northern france the operations believed to be the start of the liberation of occupied western europe it became the largest seaborne invasion in history but the landings were the only turning point of course in the 2nd world war.

6 of june 1944 the allies landed 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. apps most famously in hollywood's saving private ryan. is frequently cited in political speeches here in normandy the rescue began. here the 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 the 2nd front was opened the soviet army had been advancing in multiple directions and had reached bella roost the

battle of stalingrad the 1st major loss for the nazis was already in. 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 were $226004.00 times less than the soviet soldiers killed in stalingrad in 1943 us president roosevelt called the battle of stalingrad the crucial moment of the war in the name of the people of the united states of america i presume this scroll to the city of sterling grow to commemorate our admiration for its gallant defenders the glorious victory stemmed the tide of invasion and marked the turning point in the war of the allied nations against the forces of aggression. but the facts now don't seem that important. the americans they had come to 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. and that's the way that usually looking so far this one from us international make sure you don't miss thing of course if one of the breaking news happens throughout the day you get news alerts 247 with a lot of thing i'm kevin i don't hear moscow have a great thursday. so you say that brings us the end of the series we could just let josie marino walk away so we decided to treat us host to a very special farewell party bye guys. we

walk along and interesting path as a team but this time to go back to the punchline and thanks for putting on sr it bought it. with a red car that's the only thing i didn't enjoy was my eyes. my dancing. on ice cream. made it. well actually we nailed it literally a week out. of the project was good if you give up on your birthday for the like if you missed it

or don't blame people but. what the response so most people. give a mass is i assure you i'm order to get. back. to. this new the nope must feel you've been easy in this loop. you must feel to move him he's doing this in both the most honest though he may continue going to spin bowling is an inning of their history of chasing. you are never going to. reach your eyes because you're going to tell you what more you more you would almost today because of. the whole truth in doing. so would you and someone who knows the. ins and also weigh us.

thank you. thank you thank. god i was. welcome to the alex salmond show in the wake of president trump state visit to the u.k. to to form the president cause complete consternation before he arrived casting diplomatic protocol to the forwards even before he stepped gingerly down the steps of air force one he had blatantly intervened and the conservative party leadership race told outgoing prime minister theresa may why she'd made a mock of bricks that i'm gauged and made here try to spot west london merest side to calm however perhaps a calming influence of her majesty the queen put the present on his best behavior

1st set of own you'll part of the this contrast is billing we summed up as pope and acrimony and the marlins cartoon in the tags. the presidential arrival also provoked a mass protest. the speaker of the house of commons put paid to any plan of addressing parliament in westminster hall but his baby balloon effigy was given special permission by the mayor of london to fly over them and so in the show we start a 2 part examination of the politics of protest and an upcoming show will draw a contrast between working class glasgow taking to the mean streets a century ago and middle class london of titty taking to the theatrical boards to campaign against h.s.t. however the speak their mind at the center of the story is don't know g. trump and we take a look at the effectiveness or otherwise of the protests which have been ranged against him but then this television interconnected age what form of protest actually works best is it to put hundreds of thousands on to the streets like the people stoned. or is it most effective to lace the message with humor like the lead

by don't kiss campaign projecting on to big ben disparaging remarks by british johnson about trump before he became president alex talks to one of the organizers of this week's m t truck protests was against the government for colluding with trump and the things that he does and it was the sense alliterative to the american people who are resisting his policies domestically and we took a look back at great protests of the past with the man behind the legendary rock against racism protest of the late 1970 s. which for the 1st time mobilized the music industry behind a great national cause and struck a chord which has been copied many times since. out of all that fantastic kind of cultural activity things like life varied and womad and peter gabriel's things all came after wrong but 1st your tweets mess just e-mails a response to a show of last week bob says labor in tory supporting scotland has never recovered but it's being assumed the reappearing reestablish the status quo i don't think so

trust in both of the major says been waiting so i expect that the seismic shift to remain passive next general election david says good balanced line up of this race says scotland has a referendum on quitting england i'm going alone but the scottish voter to see now i think we here in england should have our referendum to see if the english what you wear us and i think the answer would be no go please just go back over the border where you belong rennie says westminster as a puppet parliament fiasco proves it and finally body says i think england should have a referendum for independence and let scotland wales i northern ireland sort themselves out now before the present even arrived he was courting controversy boris johnson were waiting for the invitation to tea and making marco was accused of making nasty comments for a preview of the suggestion that his massaging may not make the present one of the great healers of.
