3 point something and $2922.00 less than 3 percent and then we're going to have $2.00 and. 2021 we'll have 3.8 so this is a continuous trained. military spending no other major country in the world it's doing that. of particular importance to us and we need to progress selves on this by these. modest spending we have established a military nuclear parrots in we are several steps ahead of our computers just no other country the world has such high tech weapons what i mean. is hyper sonic missiles. this is what we need to look at. this is something that we need to pride ourselves on we need to

respect. people who work in the defense of what you know people who. build those. and we need to thank them for that we must be appreciative of their hard work but there's another message that i saw on the screen. and they are rising. with the minds of the power of the countries in the world is defined not by. other weapons but by the economic growth economic power exactly that's what we're doing as part of our national projects i have another message related to the military my name is that you're a cause and i'm 13 she's writing from the city of evanovich i am would like. to

serve my homeland as a marine officer but they don't accept girls in the ne chemo for academy and other stories in cross. i'm sorry to interrupt you. know him of academy will. i can change their rules we men will be allowed because. there's a new platform. on the new facilities all day i might be wrong but when i mention that this is the defense ministry mr shy girl will respond to this so we hope it turns out well now let's go to cross nadar. the. military academy for us so they are where they train pilots. are doing a good afternoon this is crosstown dar and this is the cross nodar military

academy for military pilots they train military pilots here this is the. 3130 simulation. this is what future pilots used to train and we. all remember the song that's. first come the planes and girls come. here we have all the girls already dreaming of becoming pilots and they would like to ask questions their questions to the ok yeah i'll just cross of the 4 and 3 and a half hours into a lot of putin's question and answer session all throughout russia and brought now it's handy when we're going from subject to subject that we have an expert on hand we do have that we've got author and russia analyst martin mccauley. martin you'll

appreciate that it does go on for some time thanks for standing by on the program i'm not sure if you heard but love them or putin was speaking at byte there he just lastly about the military but also about donald trump relations with the u.s. he was saying there's a lot of topics to be discussed between moscow and washington but no with the 2020 reelection campaign really being kicked into action by donald trump that they may now take a further back step and that's going to be another issue. yes that's a problem. that's a problem for libya put in because. donald trump president trump would like an agreement with president putin and come to an agreement with russia on many factors many many areas he said that many many times but nothing has come of it and now with a 2020 presidential campaign beginning on fortunately it will mean that international

relations especially with russia will take a backseat because trump will in fact concentrate all his efforts on winning these swing states such as florida which started off and then russia will slip into the background and say well the officials can look after that my comp it pump a a can make some statements he can do something and so on but i president trump my main concern is in fact to become the reelected in 2020 so that i can carry on for another 4 years so unfortunately for the next year more than 1516 months because the elections in november of next year we're going to have come painting in the united states and this will not only affect relations with russia it will affect relations with the whole world and especially economic relations the. a

china problem will be there and he will want a resolution to that one because it's the mystery of the really big one. and he will say the tariffs he imposed tariffs on canada and they work because canada will now allow more agricultural american goods going into canada mexico you've imposed he said to happen how sensible do you think the current drug policy is given that russia has the highest per capita rate solve incarceration for drug crimes in europe. russia faces the same problems as every other country in europe and britain has very very strict drug laws but basically they don't work because a lot implemented because people can get round to round them and they're talking about. liberalizing or actually legalizing these are kind of this there's some doctors who say we have a good thing another said wouldn't be a good thing for this debate is is continue in this country watching the united

states everywhere all the developed countries are the same problem the drug problem and an increasing problem more more people are becoming more dictated and the health services are too great a great strain that only in russia and britain and america but every other developed country so therefore the drug problem is an international problem and at present there's 2 ways of dressing it one is you have more draconian laws you have put more people in prison but then the pain reformers and doctors say that does not show the problem is good when you go into prison they come and talk contact with those who don't trade take drugs and influence them right up to recruit them in the futures if you're increasing the problem in other ways liberalizing your lawyers and making it easier and of course. conservatives are really against that because they say what you're doing. he's in fact linking fortunately for drug traffickers

and people like that when you turn a problem which every country has it's a big issue being spoken about here for sure just on the q. and a today martin was there anything that that stood i feel about the focus of this year's questions and what does not show. and choose that there's a tremendous range of concerns among martin can't he just hold that thought for and we just want to go back to the q. and a for a few moments. of the metropolis on the table i'd like to say straight away that there would be a disaster at least with the region. would be burst of violence and the number of refugees would increase but. those who would initiate such. an option that could

also lead to negative consequences it's really hard to calculate what the backlash what the ramifications would be iran is a shia country. take the sly mcworld should get. if they are capable to extreme measures if they need to protect themselves that they need to protect their country place they can take it to extremes but we don't know what that extreme will be. don't really want the events to take that we don't want to see that scenario materializing but iran has been fully complying certainly with the. you know violation you

have been. you observed so no sanctions should have been applied against it so it's not justified that it wasn't enhanced were based here i can see maria. as a ok let me just. say him. what's your question mr putin good afternoon. i am. c.e.o. of in n.-g. o. the breakthrough we deal with investments in social sphere one of the project it is . gold football russia. we are investing into building. a football field in russia that could be used all year round we don't take any money from the budget all right we were just speaking earlier before we crossed back to q. and a with or through russia martin mccauley martin could we maybe just pick up

appreciate you staying all this time with us by the way just pick up another aspect because that is one of the big global issues of the day what is happening right now as concerns around. what happened today a drone was shot down. over over some they say it was a really an earth space a u.s. drone a spy drone now this comes on the back of a 1000 additional u.s. troops being sent a lot of issues happening there right now where does that leave russia and what's your what's your take about where this leaves around the situation right now. as you know extends into what looks like a possible military action. well mike pompei of the secretive state said he doesn't want war he wants negotiations and song what the americans doing are doing or in fact showing if you like it's demonstrating strength there sent aircraft carriers

have sent their ships there and they're sending troops there as a warning to iran. don't attack our ships don't attack or tankers. and shooting down this drone of course. as you say the iranians say was over our airspace and the americans say no it was international airspace. and if you wanted a pretext for war that could begin to could begin that process but america said they don't want war and i think just a case because president trump. does not want war with iran because he's concerned about becoming elected next year that's his main why do you think he keeps sending out so many conflicting issues martin over that very issue though. you know that is that is donald trump he says one thing one day another day or the other he's very very volatile particular and so on there's no shift no horizontal narrative it's up

and down all the time. and my pomp a.o. has in fact if you like the voice of reason and saying quite sensible things but the main thing is that the americans are sending a message a strong message to iran do not interfere with oil tankers in the strait of hormuz through which enormous amount of international all goes and we will leave you alone but if there are any more attacks on oil tankers and we see that then we intervene and that could have like escalate and so on so hopefully ron is in a very difficult position because he's in a very weak position the economy is in. great difficulty and it must demonstrate that it has something to he can defend itself and therefore must use language which defenses but also does not provoke the united states so therefore it's up to my compare the state department. to enter into some kind of dialogue

hopefully with a rein him so that this does not get any worse that their actions that nobody does something which could lead to something else and trigger a more serious event so the for everyone is very concerned about this because of the tension in that area and also there's also tension between qatar and the u.a.e. saudi arabia and so on and it's a whole area the whole area there's tensions there and hopefully the americans will not in fact exacerbate whose attention martin let you go get a cup of tea you've been very patient over the past half hour weeping going in and i thought after putting q. and a martin to give an analysis of it author and russia unless martin mccauley live in london thanks martin. at quarter to 4 pm here in moscow let's get a check on more world news this hour a u.s. government documents have revealed diets but the f.b.i.

is conclusion that russia was behind an alleged talk of the democratic party servers in 26 the the agency never got a final report from private cyber security company crowd strike which was hired by the party to investigate the hike the report was the court evidence for the russian docking investigation our senior correspondent murat because the of has been delving further. 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 having gas currently and we sure 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 trumka paid 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 it 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 gotten an redacted version. 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 concerns 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 course is 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 that 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 very highly respected private company eventually got access and shared with us what they saw their remarkable faith 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 261650 you officers appear to have stolen thousands of emails and attachments which were later released by weaker weeks in july 26th seen now odd hate to be accused of blasphemy. but absolutely more investigating would be a black held pull alternatively russia did it so it is written blessid be the word of crowd strike all men in. europe has stepped up efforts to preserve the 2015 year we need a new clear deal the u.k. france and germany are seeking to unite in a diplomatic push to persuade iran not to pull out of the agreement the latest on this let's go to our correspondent paula asleep hi there 3 countries perhaps not

united in all things e.u. how are they looking to get iran back in line over the nuclear deal. but as you say these european leaders are doing their best to try and salvage what they can in terms of what remains of the teeth else in the 15 weeks to a deal that the united states which grew from last year at the same time they're also trying to keep escalating tensions in the gulf region that in recent weeks have started to increase and increase quite dramatically the japanese prime minister was recently in the arabian capital for talks as was the german foreign minister and france has now announced that it is sending a high level delegation all of this in an attempt to try as the european leaders are saying to reach a peaceful solution. we want to unify and fitz so a process of deescalation starts there's still time and we hope all the actors will show more restraint there's still time but only little time. but the reality is

that their time is running out and one cannot completely rule out the risk of having said that washington repeatedly said it does not want to go to war with iraq but it also of course provoked this latest shooting down of its drone by the radio in the strait of boys now this is just the latest incident in a hole is still a show that we think with the sinking quite some time. just over a week ago you'll remember that there were 2 tankers along the way. there which in the same area in the strait of what the americans have said that they have been previous attempts to shoot down these drones and also the americans have announced this same thing roughly $1000.00 troops to the region the u.s. secretary of state mike compay of. this interim does not want and we will continue to communicate that message while doing the things that are necessary to protect american interests in the region but we can't do that without making sure that we have the capability to respond if iran makes

a bad decision. now the american since a separate drone was in international waters when it was shot down but the rain and say it had already entered iranian is space either way the head of the radio maybe should we say is that their actions are a strong message to the americans and that message is that we don't want to engage in war but if pushed we will do so. paula thanks for bringing us right up to date on those r t correspondent paula sleeker live on the show. british arm seals to saudi arabia could be on the line after peace come painters' will the legal challenge over the weapons potential use in yemen they claim the lucrative contracts breach international law and contribute to what the u.n. calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis british appeals court judges are now demanding a refuse charlie toobin ski spoke to be earlier on this. this is

a significant ruling by the cool field but the route along the road ahead of the campaign is trying to stop these arms sales by the u.k. government to decide the led coalition that has been bombing yemen for several years now the cool looking field today you've forced a ruling that was made back in 2007 by the high court ruling had said. by the government to the saudi led coalition we would know full quash means that now the code below is decided those sales are in the judgement today it was read out the precess decision. a couple of wrong in in one significant way went on to say that that's because the u.k. government had made concluded assessment of whether the saudis that coalition had committed violations of international humanitarian rule in the past

a new attempt to do so in regards to use of arms in yemen so a very specific judgment by the court of appeal today this was the reaction outside the court following. this for the very top because that we now need a judicial review in the whole licensing system parliament has been shown to be totally broken we had 4 years to sort this out and the committee failed to meet the 2 years we now need a public inquiry on this matter the government should not waste time in appealing this judgment the government should fix our system well those on the sales by the u.k. government saudi arabia is said to have been 4700000000 pounds that since 2015 and the u.k. government is said to be the 2nd largest exporter of all means to riyadh those all means that have been exported into and prof think you made. forms and reports by

the un back in 2018 suggesting that the use in the boys will be used in populated areas actually account for 90 percent tax when it comes to civilians and injuries on the civilians and it was talking about looking for better ways to use explosives by the military but we've also heard from cats in reaction to. this decision today this has been a brutal condemnation of u.k. foreign policy business been a very strong judgment against it we want to see action from the government the court has done its job it's time for the government to do its job the decisions that took in relation to existing licenses and make the decisions they took to continue to grant licenses those decisions are a little full and they have to go back and reconsider well some estimates put direct deaths in the war in yemen close to 100000 people let's have a look now at the war and the causes and how it's unfolding.

well the secretary of state for international trade and liam fox has been reacting to that decision in the commons and said the government will appeal not about whether the government has made the right or wrong decisions about granting export licenses but concerns the rationality of the process used to reach decisions as i said earlier we disagree with the judgment and the secret mission to appeal live from moscow this is r.t. international i'll be back in quite literally a couple of minutes with all your main news including the latest from the tomorrow
