it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. along at a level they are moscow time to submerge on evidence used to accuse rusher of hacking democratic party e-mails in the run up to the police 16 presidential election it seems the f.b.i. never saw final report by a private cyber security which is based its conclusion. judgment day for british arms sales to saudi arabia a u.k. courts to decide if they should be suspended as peace campaign has claimed the weapons are being used on civilians in yemen therefore international. prosecutors charged 4 suspects over the downing of malaysia airlines flight m.h. 70 over eastern ukraine in 2014 but joint investigation team members appeared to

contradict themselves over what information they said that received from russia on m.h. 73. from the 1st day after the 17th of july the russian federation hasn't disclosed anything about what happened he's received the information in the form of the russian federation. to the missile a. good morning just turned 11 am thursday the 20th of june here in moscow my name is kevin irwin here with the latest from the earth international news room for you this hour . u.s. government documents reveal doubts on the f.b.i.'s conclusion that russia was behind that alleged attack of the democratic party service in 2016 the agency never got a final report apparently from a private security company crowd strike that was hired by the party to investigate the report was the core evidence of the russia hacking investigation indeed our

senior correspondent. has more. faith is a remarkable thing it can move mountains if you believe something hard enough heart and soul it doesn't actually matter if it's real it ot faith in god in family or in russian hackers is russia also who now after having hacked into the d.n.c. russia hacked into the pillar of our democracy how russia is hacking and hammering gas currently and we did not mention exactly that did occur nobody is debating that that did or did not happen it did happen faith no need for evidence proof friend's ex or facts but as with every religion there are the tracks is doubtless one of them is roger stone a former advisor to the troubled campaign now indicted for alleged witness tampering and making false statements all related to wiki leaks as part of his

defense he has requested evidence that russia was behind the d.n.c. hacks of 2016 so the government gave them all they had a redacted draft report from a cyber security company it is clear that the government has relied on the assumptions made by a source outside of the us intelligence community that the russian state was involved in the hacking and that the data taken from the various servers were given to wiki leaks the government does not have the evidence and he knew it did not have the evidence when it applied for these search warrants crowd strike the d.n.c. cyber security contractors what is amazing is that the draft report was redacted by crowd strike itself they gave the f.b.i. a rough document with parts blacked out the government does not possess the information the defendant seeks and that's all they gave them neither the f.b.i.

nor the government gordon unredacted. why for the security of the d.n.c. of course cond have the f.b.i. knowing everything at the time of the voluntary production counsel for the democratic national committee told the government the redacted material concern steps taken to remediate the attack and to harden the d.n.c. and democratic congressional campaign committee systems against future attacks so here's how it is a private security company that was hired by the d.n.c. writes a draft report never getting around to finishing the final one crosses out and we're that's a bunch of stuff because they're worried that letting the f.b.i. know things might for some unexplainable reason hurt their security and this is the chief evidence of russia's role and the hack of course dallas has might ask why on earth a private security company was carrying out the investigation in the 1st place why

it wasn't the f.b.i. our friends expose would always prefer to get access to the original device or server that's involved so it's the it's the best evidence were you given access to do the forensics on those servers we were not we were a highly respected private company eventually got access and shared with us what they saw their remarkable thing with really can move mountains transform believes politics countries you don't need prophets and miracles all you need is a private cybersecurity company to blame russia the new democrat testament russia did it of course that is will be doubtless and beulah may be one of those heretics you need 26165 year you officers appear to have stolen thousands of emails and attachments which were later released by week or weeks in july 26th seen now odd

hate to be accused of blasphemy but perhaps a little more investigating would be helpful alternatively russia did it so it is written blessid be the word of crowd strike men. former cia officer emma governor told us that the d.n.c. invented the russia hacking story as a distraction to the wiki leaks revelations and there's not actual basis for the russian akki it at the d.n.c. computer and now we know that the f.b.i. where it went along with very serious evidence evidence with no chain of. evidence incompleted redacted the game was this so assume as the democrats realized that julian assigned had these messages they composed a cover story for which julian assange to release those e-mails went to the press the press was a willing a car pools and they said look there are issues that rush that and so the headlines

were not close in steele's nomination from sanders but rather err should check whether the russians have why this is an act of war it worked like a charm i call it and make necessary distraction. u.k. arms sales to saudi arabia face a key court decision later today 3 u.k. judges are set that aside if they breach international law the sales a ruling which could see the lucrative contracts suspended them these companies say billions of pounds worth of weapons have been used by the saudis in here in the civil war ek has continued to support saadi air strikes in yemen and provide arms at this point overwhelming evidence of repeated breaches of international humanitarian law this is in clear violation of own guidelines on arms sales and european and international law it makes a mockery of the government's claims to rigorously control arms exports since the start of lead bombardment began in 2015 the u.k.

has license 4700000000 pounds worth of weapons britain is the 2nd biggest exporter of arms to the saudis and the it's the u.k.'s largest military export contract but the details are more than just about hardware as kate partridge investigates next. the court is deciding on a legal claim against the arms sales brought by the group campaign against arms trade while suitable 80 you say the u.k. not only sells arms but also provides expertise to the saudis human rights watch says riyadh's actions in yemen amount to war crimes and has accused the u.k. of turning a blind eye the u.k. government says it has very rigorous arms controls yet weapons continue to be sold to saudi arabia despite considerable evidence of the saudi led coalition abuses in yemen the case is a key opportunity to make sure that the u.k. rules on arms sales are being properly applied to saudi arabia the situation in yemen has been described by the u.n. as the world's worst manmade humanitarian crisis the saudi led military coalition

say it's fighting to free the country from hutu rebels and restore the exiled government riyadh also says it's doing all it can to reduce civilian casualties over 70000 people have been killed through fighting and famine since january 26th 18 with 10000000 yemen is facing starvation millions have also been displaced britain doesn't just supply weapons it provides the personnel and technical knowledge required to keep the war going 6000 british contractors are stationed in saudi arabia to train saudi pilots maintain planes and supervise the loading of bombs with no end in sight to the conflicts the u.k. continues its arms sales to saudi arabia meanwhile 2 candidates for the conservative party leadership have also played a role in september 26th seen boris johnson said the saudi led bombing campaign was not a clear breach of international humanitarian law while jeremy hunt who took over as foreign secretary in july 28th scene said halting arms sales to saudi arabia would

be morally bankrupt because the u.k. would surrender our influence the aerospace defense and security sectors provide the u.k. with a 1000000 jobs and boost the economy by over 74000000000 pounds the government says the. u.k. has one of the most robust export control regimes in the world power that control is regarding saudi arabia were not be decided by the courts. so in the face of strong criticism of home conservative party ministers have been opposed to stress that it's not the u.k. they say which chooses the targets in yemen a former british politician we spoke to says overall it's time the government changed to squabbling and peter distracting from serious crosses like yemen ongoing . at a time when most of british attention is focused inevitably on bragg's it it's really important that we do look at the issues such as arms sales and in particular

in this special case because so many people are losing their lives in yemen and really it's a difficult situation that has to be resolved and it's significant that all of the opposition parties not just the labor party but also the liberal democrats and the scottish nationalists and other smaller parties have agreed really that this is not something that britain ought to be supporting it's really only be conservatives who have taken this line of strong support for sales to saudi arabia and so they're probably will need to be a general election for that to change and that is more likely to succeed perhaps than the legal challenge. russia has described accusations that its military was involved in the downing of malaysia airlines flight m h 17 is regrettable and absolutely baseless on wednesday dutch prosecutors charge 4 suspects was murdered over their alleged role in the crash which killed all 298 on board an airplane was

brought down in east ukraine in 2014 wasco says their case were lies heavily on falsified video and that investigators are still ignoring information provided by russia correspondent it goes down off good you know neal more on the developments. it's the 1st time we're hearing names it's the 1st time we're seeing photos so it's 4 names of 4 photographs that we have been shown at the media conference we've also learned plenty about the intentions of the investigation now they've announced their intention to charge these people with murder and also they are putting them on the international wanted list now an interesting detail that all these 4 suspects have in common is that none of them are related to have any connections to a. russian military brigade that is accused by the same investigation of smuggling the book missile launch system into ukraine that eventually brought down the m h 17 russia has said that they feel that russia feels nothing but regret over this case

and that's because according to the russian foreign ministry the joint investigation team takes into account information that it received from questionable sources this is how the foreign ministry put it they have known to have gathered some information for instance from social media some of the of the information came from ukraine a biased side and russia also once again reiterated its readiness to cooperate and also underlined the fact that more school already has done so quite a number of times that it has provided plenty of information has been knocking on many many doors but it has been sort of ostracized and kept away from the investigation that's an important point is that moscow has provided with data done in the years as you say what did the investigation there for doing well absolutely and the best agave as were a bit they sent mixed signals because at 1st they were saying that they received no information from russian no corporation whatsoever that russia didn't explain

anything and then admitting that they did indeed received plenty of information and they had the even looked at it with often off the plane if you look back you can establish that from the 1st day after the 17th of july the russian federation hasn't disclosed anything about what happened and that is a slap in the face to all the relatives of the victims and i call on them to start cooperating to tell us what happened there we received the information from murder russian federation from ocean about to the missile and the documents about the missile and we also received the rod or. that wasn't clear enough to say exactly what was happened with the missile given this and didn't give us the right picture we prepared. short clip explaining what they what they received and what they are now saying wasn't clear enough doesn't paint a clear enough picture have a look the previous g.o.v.t. investigation so many triumphantly shouting accusations at russia but instead of

trying to out yell its critics russia showed original documents raw data and experiment results which poked holes in the investigation exhibit a. russia's defense ministry dug into its archives and deep it traced the missile based on the pieces discovered among the debris of m.h. 17 the ministry determined its tail number revealing the full life cycle of the project tile manufactured back in the days of the soviet union in 1986 the missile was shipped to a military base in ukraine it never left the territory of the soviet republic and then after the breakup of uses of the country according to the ministries date of the book missile was moved only within the borders of ukraine and in 2014 it was set up and stored at a base in the west of the country kerry also touch on another aspect because it's

not just russia that's been critical of the probe malaysia has repeatedly criticized this probe even having access to it saying that it was made into a political fast accusing russians of buying them. but what is the evidence you could even be the ukrainian government because they do have does him we don't know way we are a secluded from the examination but from the very beginning we see too much politics in it the idea was not to final how this happened when all that but you seem to be concerned that it didn't play need to be on russia here we have but. who have some political interest in the matter and the examine so the judge will have to have a look and to weigh the information the evidence presented by both the prosecution

and by the defense so if we'll see how that fares in court how the evidence provided by both the g.a.t.a. and russia and if anything new comes up how that will fare here the news we're covering today exactly 70 minutes past 11 moscow time rather says the morning russian president vladimir putin about to answer all a raft of questions for the nation starting in about 40 minutes in a big annual t.v. special we'll cover it when it kicks off and after the break in a military trial work some of the points cover it's one of the stories of the day. sometimes shows were like a honeypot. everyone believe that it was all on stable and on the reliability of russia but they thought that everyone was great over that russian businessmen wanted to do business in the west because they feel that some could take everything

away from them in russia it's now it's the opposite dave business is outside of russia was snatched less is frozen the whole blog the student whine about. what politicians do. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to. have to go right to the press this is why before 3 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the water in the how. should.

i get this is the killing of a pro refugee politician in germany a scandalized the country and raise concerns of the rising right wing extremism the suspects arrested in connection with the killing reportedly had links to the neo nazi n.p.t. party or your correspondent peter all of a. the killing of the district presidents of castle in central germany is being treated as a politically motivated terror attack bolton live was shot at close range outside of his home on the 2nd of june it's understood he had been receiving death threats in connection to his pro migrant stance a 45 year old man has been taken into custody in relation to the killing it's understood from authorities that he has a long history of connection with the far right mr live care was a member of christian democratic union party the chancellor says no stone will be left unturned in the investigation isn't it this is depressing news that we're

hearing and naturally all these must be pursued intensively that is why it's right that the federal general prosecutor has taken charge of the investigation to uncover the background information as fast as possible i hope that we have full clarity soon to make the final assessments the suspect who is only being named as stephen as a standard practice in germany has a long history of connection with the far right back in 1903 he was convicted for planting a pipe bomb outside of a home for asylum applicants he's also known to have connections with the violent neo nazi group. the suspects and bought them a career in right wing extremism during the late eighty's he has conducted extreme motivated crimes and therefore has been on the radar of the intelligence services since that time he hasn't appeared on the surface in recent years so he has been in the background of our surveillance. after the murder was announced there was

a flurry of right wing extremist messages posted online reveling in the killing purportedly due to the fact that mr libby. wanted to take in a more refugees into his region the spokes person from the german. government was reluctant to say more about an ongoing investigation but did express discussed and extremist content being posted online often appeasing come in numerous right wing extremist hateful comments on the internet after his death are repugnant and disgusting and has to have had a feeling of everyone sitting at home and the government working within its force against right wing extremism in this country as well as against left wing extremism .

should the investigation revealed that this was a politically motivated assassination it would be the 1st in germany since the 1970 s. already though there is concern about the size shape and scope over extremism in the country as the investigation continues to determine why wall to leave it was short and who carried it out peter all of alte believe. just that later today russians nationwide get the chance to put a question directly to the president on issues that matter the most and if a trend has more than one president putin 17th annual public q. and a marathon coming up shortly. there are 2 grand q. and a events on vladimir putin's calendar one that happens at the end of the year usually is for journalists well this one in june is for the people and over the

years it has evolved into somewhat of a t.v. show where the russian leader gets to deal with the problems of the nation live on air i can tell you that in the previous years the government's joined the queue on a event it was something like a big skype video conference call. and it becomes a very tough exam for them because the russian president gets to tell them off or give them out orders directly live on air the journalists are also was joking that june is probably the toughest time for regional officials in russia so what do russians ask about or rather in most cases what do they complain about it can be absolutely anything what if somewhere salaries are being delayed for months for the employees of an entire company or maybe in the most remote corner of russia a road full of holes isn't being repaired for years when russians are desperate

they see this as an opportunity to send their message directly to the president there are also suggestions for him serious ones too rather weird ones one of the questions from one russian this time is why not make wednesday an official day off so how are the russians submitting their questions they can do it in writing form they also send texts make phone calls use online forums but in the ear of instagram short videos have become the most popular way to reach out to the russian president so mid june in russia is the time to send you or stories to mr putin quite literally i can tell you that the russian leader will begin reacting to these stories at noon and throughout the rest of the day we are here on our team will tell you all about it. yeah i present to do so i was fielding questions from

people across russia just over half an hour's time then he's going to run across here on air and online just to join us for life if you see on the other headline news starting in about 35 minutes time but the president here in moscow for me kevin one of the team on duty here this morning of a great day and enjoy our next programs. why paradise with some all year round turned into a round the experimentation field for agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would the chemical company workers themselves be geared up and suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments that often in day you have many of these people where one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the

government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental research going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power. when lawmakers manufacture to sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the fine and merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. doing the real news.

hello and welcome to worlds apart more than 70 years after the creation of israel no major international actor questions its right to exist except perhaps for these released themselves the allegations of to semitism or bias surface in almost every critical discussion on israeli policies often to the government side or to shut down because station altogether is it still possible to analyze and criticize israel's policies without being branded an anime of the state and worse any gater of its right to exist well to discuss that i'm now joined by omar sheikh here in israel and palestine director at human rights watch is to take your it's good to have you on the show and thank you very much for your time. thank you for having me

now i know that human rights watch has had a number of its staff members deported from countries that are usually thought of as authoritarian regimes but to have a similar possibility happened in that democratic country i think it's quite remarkable what got you in trouble with the israeli leadership israeli government going back several years now has been restricting human rights watch as access to both israel and the west bank it began actually several years ago in february 2017 when the israeli government denied human rights watch a permit to have a foreign employee at the time they allege that human rights watch was engaged in propaganda for palestinians we went public it generated pressure the government relented and then last year the government accused me as the israel palestine director of human rights watch of promoting boycotts in israel we sued a court froze the deportation order and in court the government cited as evidence

human rights watch is research regarding the activities of businesses and settlements and the court just in april affirmed that the deportation was legally valid and gave me 2 weeks to leave and we've now appealed to the israeli supreme court i know that the are now waiting this is supreme court's decision on whether or not there should be allowed to stand work within the country but it comes at a time when politically israelis say quite at a crossroads especially considering benjamin netanyahu is future political future do you think this political uncertainty in israel will have any bearing on the case absolutely i mean i think it's not a coincidence that the supreme court a scheduled our hearing for november 11th these really israelis will go to elections on september 17th the process to form a government usually takes around 6 weeks so by the time we're sitting in the courtroom will likely have unless there's some hiccups like last.
