you're watching or an international bringing your live news updates from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. a scandal has erupted in brazil after a leaked messages suggest a corruption case against the country's former president will of the silva was politically motivated the messages published by investigative news site the intercept appear to show the judge discussing the probe was prosecutors supporters of lula da silva say the leaks confirm their fears that the case was a stitch up designed to prevent him from winning his 2018 reelection bid now the probe was part of brazil's biggest anti-corruption crusade known as operation car wash which saw dozens of high level politicians in prison but was sentenced to almost a decade behind bars for corruption and money laundering including for accepting a luxury apartment and exchange for state contracts he denies ever owning it and

the lease messages suggest that prosecutors themselves question the strength of the evidence against him one of the journalists behind the revelations told us that they made sure the must just were genuine. 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 that. 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. have also led to accusations that the judge gave biased advice to the prosecutors. 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 and to sylvia 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 who took on the investigation with more i didn't need any proof of crimes committed because they all had

a plan in mind 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 a weak. source and 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 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 said 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 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 of normality or providing directions as a magistrate despite information being taken out of context and the sensational as some of the articles known 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 realized 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 for me and we are continuing our work on the case as we said these are just off 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. parts of the mainstream media and the syrian opposition are mourning the death of a controversial rebel icon who died and i babble in homes province against syrian government forces according to the rebel faction he belong to the fighters role in syria's uprising was the subject of an award winning documentary film a goalkeeper for syria's youth team he gained prominence for staging street protests protests against assad and for sing songs praising the revolution some of those songs though expulse about use that seem to go against those of western countries fighting terror group islamic state in syria artie's double quarter explains a warning his support contains scenes of an execution. he became the poster boy of the syrian uprising or shall we say the voice. ringback

of o.e. . and his death in battle against government forces apparently made him a fallen hero in the eyes of the media. syrian football 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.

and. 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. was good yet. 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 abdel baset 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. and. 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 u.s. and the us media to maintain the whole idea of there being moderate democratic forces and among the rebels in syria but clearly most of the groups fighting the government were really extreme islamist groups that's the reality and these are the groups that the cia and and its allies it's british and french and saudi and qatari and turkish allies worth 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's after my pump air said he would push back if you pay off position later german court in 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 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 all of our mike pence the vice president of the united states 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 u.s. wants it doesn't seem to matter how independent a country is or how rip us to 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 johnson still thinks pompeo is interfering and british politics. it's one thing to criticize so you disagree with another company policy that's under international diplomacy it to actually take action to try and reverse policies. is beginning to become interference works in paris said which is really sinister is she said we should begin to push back against actions taken by jamie colby will push him back as much as the criticism

that implies that she's going to intervene physically in british politics and possibly undermine it called in that they have a government it's not your typical slope don't tell you how to might was if 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 criticism that we're doing exactly what he has in mind to just push back its actions she's talking about last. christmas. u.k. mobile operators are calling on the government to clarify its stance on chinese tech giant war way that's according to the b.b.c. which reports it has obtained a draft letter from the industry leaders to the british cabinet secretary there apparently concerned over whether weiwei it will be allowed to supply its new technology for a brand new project network or work up picks up the story. the government's been

asked for reaction on this news of industry bosses can set and they've asked for an urgent meeting with the government in order to discuss those concerns essentially there's a sense that they've been left sort of hanging over the government's indecision over whether or not to green lights the use of huawei technology in the rollout of the 5 g. network care in the u.k. so as a result these industry bosses can't invest in white. infrastructure going forward for the government they've stressed the importance of security above all else take a lesson the security and resilience of the key still to come snap works is of paramount importance we have robust procedures in place to manage critics to national security and are committed to the highest possible security standards while the industry has questions for the government over while away the government's got questions to walk away and it was actually one ways cyber security

officer who was. was giving on says in front of a committee of m.p.'s publicly yesterday and the politicians repeatedly asked him about wild ways alleged links to the chinese states and about alleged human rights abuses as well and his repeated was that while way works within the framework of the nor should we do business with a company that is complicit in utility pieces i think you should listen business with all companies that stick to a little there's a lot of the order in china isn't that just like there was a lot of law in nazi germany some laws are good little some was a bad move was some company totalitarian repressive one party states nothing to say communist china doesn't that put you see where we've come through to who it would be. your company is right you forgotten who manufactured.

and sold it to the german government during research and we will. paint a different picture and of course there are strong arguments on both sides on the one hand you've got the u.s. pressuring the u.k. to reject qual way technology saying that it presents a danger to national security and on the other hand there's the opinion that in measured doses only on certain parts of the 5 g. network using one way can be perfectly safe. and moreover it is actually vital for the future of britain as sort of a front runner in the lead to technologically and so far this debate has been very political but now we're seeing industry step in and say actually we need clarity on what happens with wall way still to come muslim gangs in u.k. jails are using the threat of violence to get prisoners to convert islam on that

after the break. what bitcoin decline is magic internet the new type of digital currency the centralized digital scarcity chancellor bring a 2nd bailout for bankers call the genesis blog for reason because being a 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 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.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation let it be an arms race is on the spear in dramatic development only really going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. welcome back muslim gangs in u.k. high security jails are forcing prisoners to convert to islam with threats and beatings that's according to a new ministry of justice report. all the prison this is scared of us 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 house say goodbye to easily if i said i didn't want to be a muslim i need to watch you know in case someone stop me it's very dangerous to denounce islam it'll be nice to be true to myself the study conducted at 3 top security prisons found that muslim gangs use violence and threats to push prisoners into conversion the court says force conversions are becoming increasingly widespread and high security jails and that's due to such factors as social isolation deprivation of liberty and the need for protection there are almost $13000.00 muslim prisoners and british jails about 15 percent of the total jail population in march 2017 there were 186 terrorists being held in british jails 90 percent of them were muslim 3 so-called jails within the jail were also set up to

house problems problem is almost inmates are guesstimated 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 honest 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 is a little bit of its thing david 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 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 i 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 memories and i think we need to have realized something with david david we have elected not work situation we don't have the money to build these maximum prisons and what has kuantan of all 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 employment should be given to is 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 and that actually costs a lot less than building what he sees is what our 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 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 point it's not about pastors it's not about preachers it's a point the strongest security imaginable and that's what we need now in the u.s. the supreme court has refused to hear the appeal of a prisoner at guantanamo bay giving no reason for the decision while for all we have spent the last 17 years in detention without charge according to associate justice stephen breyer a prisoner may never be freed and faces 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. the yemeni citizen has been at guantanamo since 2002 he denies fighting for the taliban and al qaeda as well as being some of bin laden's bodyguard his lawyers call his detention unconstitutional the guantanamo bay prison that was created almost 20 years ago it houses 40 prisoners most of whom have never

been charged and that's amid numerous allegations of torture back in 2008 the u.s. supreme court ruled that prisoners can challenge their detention and federal courts however most appeals have failed we spoke with ramsey qassam a law professor at the city university of new york who represents all way he told us there is no evidence his client 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 up 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 a guantanamo after 17 years in the courts have signed off on that really speaks 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 ali's situation is the reason that he remains at guantanamo today and many others like him are free is that he has the misfortune of being the citizen of yemen and not a citizen of the united kingdom france australia saudi arabia or another car 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 ali is even alleged to have done he remains an innocent man he's a kuantan and more after 70 years there are 40 remaining prisoners in guantanamo today $26.00 of them are yemenis. that's a news wrap up for now but i'll be back at the top of the hour with the latest thanks for tuning it.

as an officer of the told to get up off the ground the officer began to head them down. heard them freeze on the sounds of kind of fighting into the grown man like wrestling essentially the officer who. drew his or her own. wish to away from the officer. or his crew. the obvious or did they kind of lunge for the weapon once missed and then what happened on 3 swung as i was just hands didn't hit him i never saw any contact with. any kind of went back to where they were so the officers back here they're try again 15 feet apart at this point and that's when the officer pulled out his gun and he did it on 3. you know world's big partners. law and conspiracy it's time to wake up

to dig deeper to hit the stories that made the stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. that's the national title for the book of much that you know sticky middle of the giving if that's what's told us to squeeze the children call the pentagon for that much emotion that. this post will provide the cost of course you don't you get close the length of political means not of the.
