there's a real history of. columbus discovering a new world paradigm shifting technology that transforms economics and finance in a heartbeat the apollo 11 landing on to the moon smacks of stacy. quick to messages suggest a corruption case brought against brazil's former president lula da silva was in fact designed to scupper his reelection bid. also to come this hour an artsy part of mainstream media when i rebel. against the sad condone jihadists who praised the 911 attacks we'll look at the controversial figure and accusations of u.s. meddling in politics after secretary of state was recorded pledging to push back against u.k. opposition leader jeremy called me becoming prime minister. follow

their good morning just gone 11 o'clock here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now a scandal has erupted in brazil after leaked messages suggest a corruption case against the country's former president lula da silva was politically motivated the messages published by investigative news site the interset appear to show the judge who sentenced improperly and secretly discussing the investigation with anti corruption prosecutors supporters of lula da silva say the leak confirms their fears that the case was a stitch up designed to prevent him from winning his 2018 reelection bid the probe was part of brazil's biggest anti corruption crusade known as operation car wash with dozens of high level politicians imprisoned silver was sentenced to almost a decade behind bars. the corruption of money laundering including for excepting

a luxury apartment in exchange for state contracts he denies they ever get and the lead messages suggest that prosecutors themselves questioned the strength of the evidence against him one of the journalists behind the revelations told us that they made sure the messages were genuine. to me we waited and waited for a response from the prosecutors for them to prove that the messages were genuine that's a very cautious and scrupulous recitative when you work with explosive material like this you need to be absolutely certain that what you publish is true the prosecutors and the judge have expressed doubts about the messages they know they're genuine as do we well the leaks have also led to accusations that the judge gave biased advice to the prosecutor is more his kind of. 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 a that's a 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 someone more of them 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 called 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 little the 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. so awesome for me that the contact person is annoyed at having be nice to see dr property transfer deeds for one of the x. president's children apparently the person would be willing to provide the information and therefore pawson it along the source is serious they will say that they were accusing based on 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 you said gary moore the only man in brazil who's proving that we can do politics different story 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 it is regrettable that the person responsible for the criminal hacking of the prosecutor's cell phones has not be. identified as the source there is no sign of any abnormality or providing directions as a magistrate despite information being taken out of context and the sensationalism of the article's moan as a result of 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 to realize that they can create some discomfort for some people who are deeply sorry about that the leak telegram conversations give the impression that the

silver was railroaded in order to keep him off the ballot and there is more to come from me and we are continuing our work on the case as we said these are just our 1st 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. are part of the mainstream media and the syrian opposition are 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 belonged to the rebel fighters rolled in syria's uprising with the subject of an award winning documentary film the goalkeeper the series youth team he gained prominence for staging street protests against the sad and the singing songs to praising the revolution some of those songs though to do to espouse values that seem to go against those of western countries fighting terror group islamic

state in syria just on the 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 all know 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 about the vision of what we do blame islamic state. but that blame comes with love because we know that these 2 groups 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. 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 root not inspire of 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. abdul deserves a grammy no less as in other. kovar western operations it

becomes important to to maintain this sense of plausible deniability it's clearly been useful for for the us and the us media to maintain. this whole idea of there being moderate democratic forces among the rebels in syria but clearly most of the groups fighting the government were really extreme islamist groups that's the reality and they're these were the groups that the cia and and its allies its british and french and saudi and qatari and turkish allies were supporting and arming from the very early stages of this conflict. the u.s. secretary of state is facing accusations of meddling in british democracy that after my compost said that he would push back if u.k. opposition leader jeremy call been became prime minister. it could be the mr corbin

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 is too risky and too important and too hard ones who already happened but a recording of those remarks made to jewish leaders was leaked to the washington post with more shouted to been sick 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 while those views come amid step back top 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 diffract own 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 u.s. 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 the body's 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 german still thinks that. is interfering in british politics. it's one thing to criticize say you disagree with another government's policy that's legitimate under international diplomacy to actually

take action to try and reverse policies. is beginning to become interference works bumpurs said which is really sinister is she said rachel begin to push back against actions taken by jeremy colgan of pushing back is more than criticism it implies that she's going to intervene if physically in british politics and possibly undermine it cogan laird labor government it's not clear of course of ontario had in mind whether 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 try and put pressure between that goes beyond verbal criticism of richard reid of exactly what he has in mind he just uses that were pushed back its action but he's talking about. criticism. in chinese tech giant is being compared to the german firm that made the gas in death camps

the comparison is made as british m.p.'s grilled one of his executives. but you think when we come to roto report it would be for. your company is our chief open who manufactured. and sold it to the german government during the 2nd world war. i think i would order kinds of different picture. is in the process of building a 5 network in the u.k. despite warnings from the u.s. earlier this year washington blacklisted the chinese firm and google suspended its business ties but the company the u.s. banned the company over claims that its equipment is used by the chinese government for spying and is a nice to fall a sink. professor of political economy says the comparison of the farben makes no sense. it's kind of an absurd comment because you know our g for

a good product was designed to kill people whereas you know our ways product is designed for people to communicate i don't know how you kill people with with with a phone that works 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. on all of 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 we know it's our eyes away from any kind of economic relationships with china. now still to come for you this hour muslim gangs in u.k. jails are using the threat of violence to get prisoners to convert to islam at

least that's according to a latest report we'll have a look at that in more detail just after the break. what bitcoin coin is magic and the new type of digital currency decentralized digital scarcity chancellor i'm bringing a 2nd for bankers call the genesis blog for 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 it's a game changer in the human history and this is columbus discovering the new world this paradigm shifting technology that transforms economics and finance in a heartbeat the apollo 11 landing on to the max and stacey.

join me every thursday on the alex simon short and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. hello again i'm listening gangs in u.k. high security jails are forcing prisoners to convert to islam and to join their brotherhood with threats and beatings according to a new ministry of justice report all the prison is scared of us they know that 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'd be nice to be true to myself while the study there conducted it 3 top security prisons did find that muslim gangs used violence bullying and threats to force prisoners to convert and prison staff too were not always able to help failing to quote differentiate religious practices from criminal behavior the report said it's forced conversions are becoming increasingly widespread in high security jails and that's cheating such factors such as social isolation deprivation of liberty and

also the need for protection but at the moment there are almost $13000.00 muslim prisoners in british jails that's 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 them were muslim 3 so-called jails within a jail also known as jihad the jails were set up to to house subversive islam missed inmates we talked to our guests and debated the issues raised. 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 donor is 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 security presence and that the people at the top of the muslim goings are convicted terrorists and it's not going to be solved by diversity and the snow going to be caused by reaching out to them it's going to be cause 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 as a national thing david we need a multidimensional 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 that 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 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 there was all and i think we need to realize something that. we have elected not work 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 in college shouldn't be going to 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 the 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 is what i resonate 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 actually 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 a bird pastors it's not about preachers it's a point the strongest security a marginal and that's what we need. been while the u.s. supreme court has refused to hear the appeal of a prisoner at guantanamo bay given no reason reason for the decision. we have spent the last 17 years in detention without charge according to associate justice stephen breyer breyer a member of the same court the prisoner may never be free. well 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 yemeni citizen has been at guantanamo since 2002 he denies fighting for the taliban and al qaida as well as being some of bin laden's bodyguard his lawyers call his detention unconstitutional the kuantan of my bay prison was created almost 20 years ago it does house 40 prisoners most of whom have never been charged that same made numerous allegations of torture back in 2008 the u.s. supreme court ruled the prisoners can challenge their detention in federal courts however most appeals have failed but we spoke with ramsey kazim a law professor at the city university of new york who represents al we and he says there is no evidence he ever fought against the u.s. or its allies. he is 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 watched her 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 isn't kuantan a more after 70 years there are 40 remaining prisoners in guantanamo today $26.00 of them are yemenis. now thousands took to the streets of haiti's capital on monday demanding the removal of the country's president accusing him of corruption they blocked paralyzing much of the city. thank. you protesters who have been ties and threw stones at police to. a local pro-government station were also set on fire haiti's been gripped by nationwide anti corruption protests among the things being demanded by the demonstrators is a proper investigation into allegedly embezzled funds from subsidized oil shipments

from venezuela. so that brings you up to date that's how things are looking just coming up to 11 30 in the morning here in moscow again just eyeball for. people. to get up off the ground or begin to. sound maybe. wish to do away from. the obvious or did they kind of launch for the web

once missed and then what happened on 3 swung. i never saw any contact with. any kind of went back to where they were back here again 15 feet apart at this point and that's when the officer is gone. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going for and let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic developments only really exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. not just about all for the good of much that even look we haven't yet told us the schools the children could have been trying to go for that much emotion that. this

post to provide all. the political means not a. joke to me. or you. just some of the commuters from the us the grief. was.

just it was also of course a. lot of you must be still out there. the been drinking a question. which. the food import ban put in place by russia in august 24th. was a response to several political and economic sanctions imposed by the u.s. and the european union. to tretton to push a huge number of firms to the brink of ruin and dad urged people to take to the streets of european cities.
