that is what i know. i am not. the headlines in r.t. brazil's chief justice minister is under fire after leaks recording suggest a political motivation for a corruption case brought against the country's support the president. also from the mainstream media warns a rebel i call you 40 against a sad condone jihadist and praised the 911 attacks we look at the controversial figure and the u.s. a new state on the tape pledging to push back against the u.k. opposition leader jeremy called him becoming prime minister prompting allegations of u.s. meddling in british politics. good

morning just gone 8 o'clock here in moscow you're watching international brazil's justice minister is facing calls to step down after his impartiality was called into question in relation to a corruption probe into the country's former president silver investigative news site the interceptors published what appeared to be leaked phone conversations between you and forced into officials involved in the sting supporters of looters say confirms their fears that the probe was a stitch up designed to prevent him from winning the 2018 election he was sentenced to almost a decade behind bars for corruption and money laundering and for accepting a luxury apartment in exchange for giving act state contracts. denies ever owning it and the league to messages do suggest that prosecutors themselves questioned the strength of the evidence against him one of the office of the intercept article told us these revelations are just the tip of the iceberg. i mean. we are

continuing our work on the case as we said these are just office reports we have a lot of information we have analyzed i think only one percent of the conversations we will publish materials from these messages will after the right wing at yad won the presidency he pointed to morrow as his top justice minister he then found guilty that he conversations also appeared to show that biased advice to prosecute is kind of bump in the. lula da silva who served as president of brazil from 2003 until 2010 is still wildly popular in the country brazilians associate him with good economic times when living standards were rising now a newly leaked conversation sheds some light on why he is serving a 12 year prison sentence for corruption it turns out that his trial the judge and the prosecutor were in cahoots these are some of the private conversations that

took place during the trial with judge mauro seemingly instructing the prosecutor about how to proceed with the case. hasn't it been a long time without an operation you cannot make that kind of mistake now the thing called with the that's good idea and a prosecutor asking the judge for advice what do you think of these crazy statements from the workers' party national board should with fish to rebut well into silver has long maintained his innocence he says the entire case was a set up he has named names. on how to political life and all of a sudden i was convicted for money laundering and organized crime it was all a law i settled on when i was by the federal police the public prosecutor's office somebody more of us who took on the investigation with more i didn't need any proof of crimes committed because they all had a plan in mind you know the plan was to paint the workers' party as a criminal organization with a criminal boss who happens to be made well it seems the new leaks show that lola

decision was right here is an extract where the judge is seemingly directing the prosecutor and the prosecutor himself isn't moving his case is weak. source and for me the contact person is annoyed at having to be nice to see dr property transfer the deeds for one of the x. president's children apparently the person would be willing to provide the information and therefore passing it along the source is serious they will say that they were accusing bay's a newspaper articles and for gyal evidence and here is what makes it even more scandalous lloyd to silva's imprisonment is what prevented him from running for president last year and take a look at the polls to silva had a pretty solid lead so then also narrow who won the election after his main opponent was blocked from running actually promoted judge morrow after he took office i salute gary moore the only man in brazil who's proving that we can do politics differently now the judge seems to think he didn't do anything wrong he

says that the real crime is that these conversations have been made public. the case that there's a division. follow. the police for they know who it is are those things that those are issues on the home. team this year go. to mass movement other document event on the internet you would you want to stay in . the into the. hole in the army. approach mentioned the amount that's across those accusations published by the intercept are not true and their origin is linked to a criminal hack even though i don't acknowledge the trustworthiness of the messages realized that they can create some discomfort for some people who are deeply sorry about that leak telegram conversations give the impression that the silver was railroaded in order to keep him off the ballot and there's more to come caleb r.t.

new york. now the mainstream media is mourning the death of a controversial rebel icon who died in a battle in homs province against syrian government forces according to the rebel faction he belongs to a goalkeeper series you gain prominence for staging street protests against a sad for singing songs praising the revolution some of those songs though despised valleys that seem to go against those of western countries fighting terror group islamic state in syria as artist on quarter explains. he became the poster boy of the syrian uprising or shall we say the voice. ringback and his death in battle against government forces apparently made him a fallen hero in the eyes of the media syrian footballer and singer of revolution

killed in conflict syrian soccer goalie who became rebel i can dies in battle. syrian soccer star symbol of free vault dies after battle. that also route was a former syrian footballer who turned rebel fighter and not just any rebel fighter oh no he became an icon of the fight against bashar al assad so he wasn't shying away from speaking the truth here's one of the so-called singer of the revolutions greatest hits judge for yourself. perhaps the lyrics don't exactly communicate the artist's intended message that's all right though also it was much more articulate about his political beliefs in this 2014 interview that our vision of what we do blame islamic state. but that

blame comes with love because we know that these 2 groups and not politicized and have the same goals as us they are working for god and they care about islam and muslims no you didn't hear that wrong the same goals as islamic state and apparently 911 was a great accomplishment to. god i. was good you know. there are those in the media who acknowledge it's problematic characteristics but for them a little elbow rubbing with terrorist groups shouldn't stand between him and his rightful page in the history books. some individuals celebrated as heroes make you doubt all stories of heroes in history books others like abdul basset also route not inspire off but despite his flaws make those stories highly plausible he's

a true legend and his story is well documented may his soul rest in peace so if these guys got an oscar. and. abdul deserves a grammy no less it's clearly being useful for for the u.s. and the u.s. media to maintain. this whole idea of there being moderate democratic forces among the rebels in syria but white helmets are very useful to the west i mean western agencies have have funded and supported them they made a very slick documentary there you know one academy award and this all goes back to

a longstanding u.s. policy to use hollywood to use the british and american very prominent global media from the b.b.c. to c.n.n. to present this image to the world of the u.s. and its allies the good guys who work is coming to terms with this and trying to figure out how to deal with it and counteract the power of u.s. information warfare. the u.s. secretary of state is facing accusations of meddling in british democracy that after my palm post said that he would push back if u.k. opposition leader jeremy called when became prime minister a recording of the remarks made to jewish leaders was leaked to the washington post shortly to bin ski picks up the story. the u.s. has a long policy of influencing elections and leadership races across the globe but now

it seems to have set its sights on having more than just a helping hand in shaping the future of the government of its closest ally the u.k. with the country in flux as the conservatives scramble to choose a new leader and suggestions that an election could be looming uncle sam wants you to know that special relationship could end up on the trash heap if it doesn't like the choices that us brits make the us secretary of state mike pompei o has pledged he won't wait for jeremy corbyn to become prime minister to start the pushback against any actions that his administration might take against british jews could be the mr corbyn manages to run the gauntlet and get elected is possible you should know we won't wait for him to do those things to begin to push back we

will do our level best he is too risky and too important and too hard once he's already happened while those views come amidst a backdrop of anti sematic allegations in the labor party what the us is perhaps really concerned about is that a korban government might try to distance itself from the u.s. and pursue a more radical policy when it comes to countries like venezuela corbin the call me is hardly who washington sees itself in bed with by airing those thoughts behind closed doors perhaps pompei it was being a little bit more tactful than his own boss who spent last week trumpeting his support for boris johnson or jeremy hunt as the next defacto prime minister. worse i like him i've liked him for a long time he's i think you do a very good job boris and trump definitely a good fit both have

a shocking blond hair and were born in the us making boris if he wins the tory leader ship brace an american slash british prime minister but is it really fair for washington to blatantly push its weight behind one or 2 candidates over another of course it's not the 1st time that this has happened the united states supports the courageous decision by one god or the president of your national assembly to assert that bodies constitutional powers declare madeira or your syrup or and call for the establishment of a transitional government the u.k. is hardly venezuela yet when it comes to what the us wants it doesn't seem to matter how independent a country is or how robust its democratic systems are what the u.s. wants in a special relationship is one where it pulls all the strings charlotte. r.t.

london international affairs commentator john thain still thinks that pomp is interfering in british politics. it's one thing to criticize to say you disagree with another government's policy that's legitimate under international diplomacy and to actually take action to try and reverse policies. is beginning to become interference works bumpurs said which is really sinister is she said rouge will begin to push back against actions taken by jeremy called pushing back is more than criticism it implies it is going to intervene intrinsically in british politics and possibly undermine it called a note labor government it's not clear of course of ontario had in mind it was a he's trying to organize it would be trying to organize a coup against the british government or put sanctions on the british government or some other way to try and put pressure between that goes beyond verbal criticism of richard reid over exactly what he has in mind he just uses that were pushed back

its actions she's talking about. criticism. that the u.s. supreme court has refused to heavy opinion of a prisoner guantanamo bay alway has spent the last 17 years in detention without charge and according to associate justice stephen breyer a member of the same court the prisoner could potentially spend the rest of his days behind bars. it is the real prospect that he will spend the rest of his life in detention based on his status as an enemy combatant a generation ago where the yemeni citizen has been in town the most since 2002 but has never been charged with any crime he was accused of fighting for the taliban and al qaida as well as being a some of bin laden's body guard which our way has denied his lawyers argue his prolonged detention is an unconstitutional the guantanamo bay prison has created

almost 20 years ago there are now 40 prisoners held at the detention camp most of whom have never been charged that some made numerous allegations of torture by the facility staff towards the inmates back in 2008 the u.s. supreme court ruled that prisoners can challenge their detention in federal courts however most appeal since then have proven to be unsuccessful we spoke with. law professor at the city university of new york he represents our way and says there is no evidence he ever fought against the u.s. or its allies. he has not been charged with any crime let alone convicted the u.s. courts that have looked at his case so far have found that there is no evidence that he ever took arms against the united states or its allies that point is not even disputed so the fact that the government has still fought tooth and nail to keep him at one time off to 17 years in the courts have signed off on that really

speaks to the extent to which or reflects the extent to which both the law and the government have become cruel and inhumane in these cases but what is remarkable is that justice briar has written a statement which happens very rarely in these sorts of procedures to indicate just how rageous mr always situation is the reason that he remains a guantanamo today and many others like him are free is that he has the his fortune of being the citizen of yemen and not a citizen of the united kingdom france australia saudi arabia or another cover a government that enjoys strong ties with the united states it's really all politics it's got nothing to do with security or anything that mr all he is even alleged to have done he remains an innocent man he's a kuantan a more after 17 years there are 40 remaining prisoners in guantanamo today $26.00 of them are yemenis. and watching i think still to come think is sad more bad publicity for the chinese tech giant if the british m.p.'s compared it to the gym

and night the gash in nazi death camps well have a look at what provoked that comparison just off the bright. inconvenient truth time we've never been off the gulf and. people say we left the gold standard but in fact central banks clear all their. dealings with gold and now after this period of experimentation with a purely run currency. of the globe various countries are recognizing that it's all nonsense they need to go back to pure standardization. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be

an arms race. theory dramatic follow can only really exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. welcome back and i'm listening gangs in a high security force in prison is to. join their brotherhood with threats and beatings that's according to a new ministry of justice report of the prison the scads of os they know they're only going to 3 of the jail sunday no that will be brought this way to

stop them. there is an underlying pressure for people to convert and join the gang the tactic they use to befriend someone when they come in if they don't convert they will then start spreading rumors about them that the person is a snitch so that they will be ostracized then the beatings will follow once they go to a category b. prison or say goodbye to islam if i said i didn't want to be a muslim i need to watch a show in case someone stabbed me it's very dangerous to denounce islam it'll be nice to be true to myself well the study there conducted 3 top security prisons found muslim gangs use violence bullying and threats to push prisoners into conversion and prison staff they were not always able to help failing to quote differentiate religious practices from criminal behavior the report says forced conversions are becoming increasingly widespread in high security jails and that is

due to such factors as social isolation that pervasion of liberty and also the need for protection now there are almost $13000.00 muslim prisoners in british jails about 15 percent of the total jail population in march of 2017 there were $186.00 terrorists being held in british jails 90 percent of those were muslim 3 so-called jails within a jail also known as jihad the jails for set up to house subversive in the midst inmates are guests debated the issue. certainly in prisons gang culture has always existed what happens here is it's a loose label of a muslim we are now touching ourselves with someone not being converted forcibly converted they're actually drifting towards the brig a group of people who they feel more aggressive and if they coexist with that maybe well i've worked in prisons david if you have a daughter who's an intervention have you worked with like. what i'm going to have

an opinion on line terrorists well done but that doesn't divert from the simple truth in this report and the truth in this report is that muslim goings are causing great trouble inside marksman security presence and that the people at the top of the muslim goings are convicted terrorists honest not going to be solved by diversity honest not going to be caused by reaching out to them it's going to be caught it's going to be solved by making sure that the terrorist ideologues are taken right out of it where they cannot spread their poison it's really simple and money every way we have a little it will be able to dive is a little bit of its thing we need a multi-dimensional approach the more vulnerable individuals diversity actually does work with them reintegration is a model that the government has been working in the prison system if you isolate no but if you isolate will go in and out of the bottom of that kind of system when they go back into society the transition is that much more difficult my point also one muslim i think that the label is very easily given most muslims would argue

that these kind of individuals who forcibly people which is against their own faith they're actually not very muslim if they were muslim in the 1st place they wouldn't be locked up in prisons i mean if they're not muslims they seem a bit they seem to be unaware of it rather don't they they seem to think they're muslims the court system seems to think that salute the department of justice thing i think that's exactly what they are i'm suggesting essentially a british get more for these end of it individuals that's what's worked successfully in the in the states. where there would be one tylenol and everybody saw and i think we need to have realize something that david we have elected not situation we don't have the money to build these maximum prisons and what has guantanamo really achieved it's made sure that those interned have never committed any more crime once they get out of prison they could be even worse. is the important thing is we have changed people in prison we have brought them around we do have the counter-narrative we have the individuals we have the interventionist

practitioners and very well informed scholars who have been able to change people's mindsets that actually costs a lot less than building what he sees as one present or not i'm going to acknowledge the other side of my heart and all i seek to do is to protect innocent british citizens from the consequences of radicalized muslims coming out of prisons and doing the things that we've seen from 2015 or 20 by the way on westminster bridge and other parts of the u.k. i want to see all that stopped and the way you do that is it's not a bird it's not about pastors it's not about preachers it's about the strongest security imaginable and that's what we need. now the chinese tech giant huawei has been compared to the german made the gash in nazi death camps the comparison was made as british m.p.'s grilled one of our ways executives. should we do business with a company that is complicit in human rights abuses do you have used whether or not

the chinese one party state is repressive of human rights i don't have a view on the work of the equipment itself would it be able to access the movements of particular individual do you think. it would be if. you will come. to you for your son should start from the soldiers of the german government your research will. i think i would paint a different picture. well holloway is in the process of building a 5 g. mobile network in the u.k. despite warnings from the us early this year washington blacklisted the chinese firm and google suspended its business ties with the company the u.s. banned the company over claims that its equipment is used by the chinese government for spying and his allies to follow suit jack a professor of political economy though says the comparison of huawei to. makes no sense. it's kind of an absurd comment because you know i.g.

farben product was designed to kill people whereas you know holloway's product is designed for people to communicate i don't know how you kill people whether with with the phone network you can take somebody by association you say i mean you know you don't say that huawei kills people but by associating them with a company that whose product did do that you know you make it sound like well you're guilty by association this attack. while way and all the chinese companies are actually here is really about this big fight between the u.s. and china over who's going to dominate technology in the next decade the trade war is beginning to slide into an economic war as the u.s. goes globally to try to wean its allies away from any kind of economic relationships what china. brings up so that that's how things are looking so far today here on our table back again and you stay behind.

join me every 1st day on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm showbusiness i'll see if an. officer. told him to get up off the ground serve began to. sound it. away from the officer. the obvious or did they kind of lunge for the weapon

ones missed and then what happened on tree swung at the officers hands didn't hit them i never saw any contact between the 2 at any kind of went back to where they were so the officers back here there try again 15 feet apart at this point and that's when the officer pulled out his gun and aimed it on 3. this is broadcasting around the globe and covering the world of business and finance and upon us all i'm daniel britto and i'm washington has a look out today carry on carry. the markets. for now what could be the impact of such a lauren fix the car takes us on

a spin through just how they live out in the clam on the break. we get a bird's eye view of baghdad and its impact on business in great britain hilary ford went to the british american business association in london to hand her way through the coffee waters you hate hate and their newest shipping endeavor and finally defense stocks are on the again as raytheon and united sick knology strike a deal that would make them a behemoth in the sector molly barrows of america's warriors on hand to give us an aerial take on the newest player an aerospace you've got a packed show this well let's go ahead and dive right in. a deal to avoid u.s. tariffs on mexican imports leads our global report today as u.s. president donald trump issues a quickly contested declaration of victory on friday night mexican and u.s. officials issued a joint statement on migration issues mr trump soon tweeted that the terrorists who threaten to impose on mexican goods were hereby indefinitely suspended the new york

times quickly pointed out that the agreement mostly repackaged or accelerated previous mexican commitments no reference can be found in the text of the agreement for mr trump's claim that mexico committed to major new purchases of u.s. agriculture products mr trump also signaled he may need a new his terror threats over migration issues in the future. it's going president well lopez obrador reacted to the agreement. he i'm very satisfied with the deal that was reached with the united states very happy because he's avoided a crisis an economic financial only when it was no small thing to represent as economists even the ones we don't see eye to eye with the impact that would result from the tariffs. and although tariffs on mexico have been avoided for the time being the threat still looms and the.
