because. you're going to. be as good as you move to you before the war you are more you would almost be. doing. some. of the. bad lines from international president says the united states is. security. in the past. the 1st day of decent petersburg international economical. also this hour the us democratic senator slams the trumpet ministration giving the green light to share in sensitive nuclear technology with saudi arabia it was done

just days after the killing of dissident saudi. 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. journalists warn of a threat to press freedom and whistleblowers in australia after police raids on the media over the disclosure of classified. national welcome to world news this thursday afternoon at 3 in the russian capital 1st for you the russian president has warned about global threats the u.s.

withdrawal from missile defense agreements is a step towards destabilization he was speaking in the past hour to a panel of media chiefs at the same petersburg international economic forum. it seems like the global threat issue's been ignored that. our american partners have drawn from the anti-ballistic missile treaty so what ladies and gentlemen i would like to ask you did anyone of you protest or take to the streets with play cards no silence but it was ok but this was the 1st step for a fundamental destabilizing of the whole construction of international relations in terms of global security. and other foreign runs from thursday right through to saturday some important policymakers there as well will catch up with some of them and our correspondent in some petersburg in the coming hours and the coming days.

onto other headline news then a u.s. senator is demanding an investigation into secretive nuclear technology transfers from the united states to saudi arabia senator 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 cover that there's 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 it was signed off a little over 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 confirmed the transfers back in march after the 1st reports of merged but haven't responded to the request for comment on cain statement saudi arabia for its part the atomic program it's got is strictly for civil and peaceful gooses the u.s. congress is also disturbed by the level of covertness that surrounded the transfers

and that no time reference has been given by the trump of ministration caleb maupin picks up the story. the fact that the trumpet ministration 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 what in 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 that 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 sir. really frustrating to the point that with any deal done behind closed doors you have to wonder what they're trying to hide and r.t. new york. ok well let's now cross live to journalist and political commentator steve so who needs in beirut welcome to the program thanks for joining us countries are free to share their nuclear technologies if it's within international law was the trump administration not providing information on when they okayed those particular transfers do you think. first of all of the united states administration is going to give the saudi arabian nuclear technology while they are fighting and they are doing sanctions on iran to not have nuclear technology for peaceful reasons saudi is going to have it so they're americans and every american administration should be fair and allow everyone to have the nuclear

technology peaceful for peaceful causes that's number one number 2 democrat minister the american administration. now is going to give the saudis the nuclear technology they keep telling them what pins what works of billions of dollars to do not stop the saudis and their violation of human rights they do not stop. what the saudis are doing they just keep giving them more credit as long as the saudi arabians are paying the american administration and being there. began on soft money. so this is now what the americans need to do and what the yes because the u.s. congress is also concerned about how the saudis might use the tag and all the terms that it's just a fight. yes the congress and the democrat party in the day in the congress are doing their are doing their best to stop this to stop this nuclear deal and to stop selling weapons to to saudi arabia

and to all the gulf countries and specially to saudi arabia to of to for them to stop their validation against human rights against their own people and number one at the murder of vision of jamal khashoggi and the murder and the chop chop in of heads of the saudi citizens themselves inside of saudi the saudi prisons and also the crimes against yemen so the congress is doing big pressure on their american administration on the trumpet ministration they are doing huge pressure on them to stop and to not cloud this deal go in and what can deal or do a nuclear deal to saudi arabia some of the kinds also pointed out the difference in attitudes towards the iranian nuclear project and the saudi nuclear project should anybody be encouraging these projects of these 2 countries given the volatile relationship. that's

the that is true the good deeds to countries have in nuclear given letting them have the nuclear technology it might be a conflict to another stage to might use it to understand. even though both of them said they only want it for peaceful cause but you don't know what the future might . do with them i do is that in the middle east the middle east always is on the doors of war any 2nd a war can happen in the middle east so it's very dangerous for these 2 countries or any country and in the middle east to have the nuclear technology or because it will be having millions into danger and can make the whole region to go to to a war we already can see the whole regime is going to go to war between the americans and the iranians because of this situation and if iran and the united states going to order that you are we might be seen a world war 3 in the world because of this nuclear technology even if anyone has it or no one has it at all but the americans they don't have google did not go by in

a united nation deal. that the whole world signed on the deal for not having nuclear weapons but they're americans or those reoccupation be they are the only 2 countries who refuses to do. the deals the proliferation of nuclear technology was a concern from the russian president in petersburg which are going on to next but for now steve is a hoody and beirut thanks for joining us on r.t. . back to our top story that the russian president's warned about global threats that the u.s. withdrawal from missile defense agreements is a step towards destabilization and speaking at the same petersburg economic forum like the earlier let's go live to r.t.c. or trying to get into petersburg what else did president putin have to say. my. call how well will come back to a lot of march. rootin in just a moment but in the meantime you can probably see quite

a few we will wearing suits and ties walking past that means the st petersburg international economic forum is well underway and no matter what they say about russia and the western media and nowadays still this forum is being attended by c.e.o.'s of some of the wealthiest companies in the world it also heads of states the chinese leadership team paying will be joining me here besides this we are going to see as leaders of slovakia both gary armenia and also the u.n. secretary general they will be talking with putin and with the moderate turn in front of the journalists in front of a big audience tomorrow that's going to be the big panel discussion in the meantime the russian president is meeting the heads of the world's most important news agencies and joining that session he had quite

a few things to say about the global strategic security as you said and also about the collapse of the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty that was initiated by the donald trump administration recently he believes among other things the russian which has been i mean is that washington according to a lot of putin will soon start realizing that accountability is on the way and this realisation so to say is according to the russian president the reason why america is finding pretexts by blaming russia for violating this very important treaty and then mr putin went on to repeat himself this is something he says quite often russia is ready for any kind of transparent discussion on the issue. he believes that it needs to involve real professionals and the rest of the

world has to take part in that as well the russian president also had to say about venezuela he talked about someone who he referred to as quote unquote our people in venezuela. tried to explain that there are russian nationals on the ground there but they are in the country because russia used to sell weapons to venezuela and the russian leader explained that there needs to be. other kinds of assistance provided and that's why russian citizens are on the ground there are some of them are leaving some of them are coming back and then he also said that he's outraged by what washington still in that country and the way they're treating the crisis according to vladimir putin in washington is looking at

. their own backyard well i'll come back with more and more details of what's the st petersburg international economic forum and later today. another decision makers on the policy former. thanks very much for that the 4 runs from thursday right through to saturday thousands of delegates all influential who will be following them closely hopefully between a few of them to between now and. next the concerns of a press freedom have been raised in australia if the police raids on a prominent journalist and then on australia's national broadcaster the a.p. say over the cases are not linked police say the search is a based on the disclosing of classified information. the criminalisation and greg down on national security journalism is spreading like

a virus these sun 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 at 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 again ago with the help of leaks the a.b.c.'s afghan files were revealed in 2017 and exposed possible war crimes by australian special forces in afghanistan based on secret defense documents and the home of alex smith hurst the political editor of australia's sunday telegraph newspaper which were rated in relation to a 2018th story based on secret correspondence between ministries she disclosed a government plan to expand its spying on australian citizens and an australian

radio host revealed that the government is now also investigating how he obtained an authorised data that boat filled with refugees had tried to reach australia then fordham said the focus of the probe is not him but his source. about an hour after we shared the information we were told that the department of homeland fears 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 australia increased the punishment for leaking classified data it's not a crime for any public official to share unauthorized information prime minister scott morrison defended the raid saying that there are laws protecting australia's national security but australians free speech activists benoit come mark thinks it's alarming that the government's more concerned with leakers than the alleged crimes it's committed. scientific tools are very dedicated and what message not see them stopping but this is very dangerous thing this generous and said. this is

whether this was before lots this the genesis question won't necessarily get shared with the sources that they i view saying in terms of people's lives they are very much at risk which is the agenda and these arrests of these investigations the secular releases the files of house and something you know some of the dissolution and sang for all those in the. u.s. trained military to sense the revelation of this spend all 17 to be the graphs fencers rather than actually seeing the s.a.'s as anything fronts the issue has been more those revealing that those crimes committed. generally i from moscow this is out a bunch more to come in the program including countries that are allied against hitler tearing the 2nd world walk a memory in the 75th anniversary of the day to day landings is among all stories that i had. her.

this in petersburg international economic forum is a unique event in today's business world. over the last 21 years the forum has become a leading global platform for discussing the key economic issues facing russia emerging markets and the world thousands of business community members attend a forum to address today's abidal issues of. war just visual foreign coverage on r.t. . well . when the ruling classes protect.

the. lives. we can all middle of the room. back there's been a major political shift in denmark where the liberal party has conceded victory to the social democrats they want to majority in parliament in an election dominated by climate change welfare cuts and immigration issues its leader who said to be the country's youngest ever prime minister has declared a sea change in the country's political direction. you have voted that denmark should have a new majority there denmark should take a new direction tonight we have a historic victory for the red block in the parliament. the center left parties back to a number of anti immigration measures over the years including bans on the burqa

and a cap on the confiscation of valuables from migrants who arrive in the country they also voted in favor of doubling penalties for crimes in so-called migrant ghetto areas and pushed for making daycare mandatory in disadvantaged areas with parents who refused to send their children there losing their social benefit payments the party defended its stance saying that these are the problems the people wanted to be solved and that immigration has to be controlled we heard from a member of germany's left party who says denmark social democrats attacking all the issues that are on voters' minds right now. well the damaged vote was about what they do want their government and their track record that is very broad social welfare and that's what most voters they want to see them read their social welfare system and they want to do that not at the expense of immigrants but they very much want to see immigrants integrate into damage society they don't want to see women with workers on the streets they don't want to see. with

males rules they want to see integrated society and the social democrats have promised to look at that while at the same time trying to social well. and i think that's core power to them things i did that is something that everyone in denmark believes this hobby to be able to deliver. it's the 75th anniversary of the d.-day landings and the 2nd world war wednesday was the 1st day of commemoration events with world leaders gathering at portsmouth naval memorial and sutherland and president trump also join the french president of the american cemetery in normandy in northern france more than $9000.00 u.s. troops are buried there the days the military term for the 1st day of the normandy landings the operation is believed to be the start of the liberation of nazi occupied western europe it became the largest seaborne invasion in history but the landings were 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. perhaps most famously in hollywood's saving private ryan. as frequently cited in political 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 better routes the battle of stalingrad the 1st major loss for the nazis was already

a distant memory to compare numbers about 6 $140000.00 nazi soldiers took part in the normandy battle nazi losses in stalingrad totaled $1500000.00 allied losses in normandy would $226004.00 times less than the soviet soldiers killed in stalingrad in 143 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 to commemorate our admiration for its gallant defenders the glorious victory stemmed the tide of invasion and the turning point in the war of the allied nations against the forces of aggression. by 945 german losses on the western front with 5 times less than only eastern front but the facts now don't seem that important the americans 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 it looks from moscow for now get the news alerts on the go 247 like it in the app from your store i say for me about the headline news again in just over half an hour to see it. who is in the system it is a question that is crucial in libya and the one who needs to decide that is the libyan people that is why we should carefully slowly going to agile in the league in the in 2 elections to date you have basically 2 parties so everybody laban's the other the way he wants because that is instead

a deep crisis of legitimacy and this crisis of legitimacy cannot be sold by going to be and that. nobody could see coming that false confessions would be that profile in the spot place before the conviction. had any interrogation 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 denials she said or forward. sound a statement that i will be home by that time 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 their crimes.

what can you tell us. you know relations between the u.s. and russia and china are strained and it's us in the both of them not between russia and china so when you look at this situation china and russia are now reacting for china of course we know about this trade war that's going on and it just seems to be getting worse china has actually gone so far as to call the u.s. an economic terrorist so yeah that those are pretty hard words and of course for good reason we're talking about hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs between the 2 nations instigated by the u.s. with russia there's those controversial tariffs i should say sanctions as well that are ongoing from the united states so now these 2 countries are saying hey let's strengthen our relationship were huge were massive we're in the top 3 arguably i'd say that they are and that they should basically become what they can become economically to.
