states then all parts of the military activities so. fortunately or unfortunately they're pursuing some economic interests. production. world exploration. that's the interest those companies and even if they pursue these economic goals they risk their lives. and that's a contribution and that's their contribution to you are fight for peace because they. see so but it's not the russian state they're not part of the russian state. last question please see it's winter for our colleagues will kill the shinseki is in jail he's been in jail in ukraine for a year and i guess that you're not meeting mr zelinsky anytime soon is there a way to return miss service in skates to russia before your meeting maybe give

them since all for whoever we've been considering that we have not forgotten in years to vision speech. which. you early this month. you said that there should be no such thing as defrauded investors in russia anymore and. i am in this situation my developer went bankrupt there is no funding from the federal budget so i'm not sure i'm going to be a defrauded its investor any time soon so what kind of measures have you planned to achieve this it's easier said to. you. again it's not the federal authorities that have heard. implementing this will we need to

identify all defrauded investors finally understand who is an investor in what's the damage of each of them that's what we're doing now we are providing new housing and we. are regional and federal resources we need vest money in. an effort to resolve this issue and we will take it to the end what's your region where's there's. a residential area in moscow region indeed it's quite a pressing issue for the moscow region although the governor has an instruction and we keep track of it so that the problems of each individual would be resolved finally what did i mean by saying that we would have such an issue we are moving away from the previous system of investment in housing when you carry the risks

into a new system and i would like to use this opportunity once again. when we didn't have questions like the direct lie in. which. people are concerned about it. we will now transfer responsibility and risks from the shoulders of the people to the financial institutions and we will provide in insurance mechanisms we will provide guarantees from the burnley federal budget the central bank has introduced a set of measures to support those financial situations that will. carry those counts. through which. so that's a new mechanism. that. lead to a lower piece of. that. we need to

switch to a new system of financing investment it must be. must be civilized industry that's what i was saying well ok not 2 years maybe 3 years we need to close this issue. just the other investor your problems have to be resolved. perhaps you've purchased it 10 apartments in you want to to resell them it's another story. if you're part of the business world might be different but if you bought a bottle of yourself your problem should have been resolved in the city of rio to right. once again. mention an agency not like soon you're going to meet your friend as you call him mr since so what are your expectations from this visit it's number of

plans including the closing ceremony of their russia japan year so are you going to go into tommy or go to some hot springs maybe well these are the biggest surprises to go mental in relation is a war in relations between 2 states. create white flight over. what i expect a continuing dialogue with the japanese just like you want. peace deal that we're always looking brink of signing it but it. was clear that i've been mentioned that several times in japan. russia warns. normalization of our relationship with the russian and japanese nation are interested in that so i thank you.

well it's will be never ending press conference thank you and there you go with the last question up a japanese hot springs pretty apt after 4 hours plus of lemaire putin feeling questions from the russian public on their russian foreign press rather near putin just wrapping up that martha and q. and a session the annual session happening there in dun time in moscow you're watching r t international 36 minutes past 4 pm we're going to have a very very short break then be back with the guess we had a few moments ago don smith director of the stockholm international peace research institute talking about israel's nuclear weapons program stay with us. what do you do if we came here where did you work before you came here when you lived well death row and in many us states capital punishment is still practiced

convicted prisoners can spend years waiting for execution but most of the time the victims' families they are very much in favor the death penalty there are some people that because of what they did have given up the right to split them up this some are even proven innocent off to years on death row and how many more exonerations is it kind of take before we as a society realize that this is not working and we actually do something about. this hard to take some from somebody if you know have something to replace. we want to do this interview today and i want to use the market and then they take me. there are 4 years ago in the us area. so i'm going to tell you start selling drugs

if we'll hear something put the money in it back. then judge me on the way in life it's almost been basically mccullers peaceful for the worst do you guys know what security security positions are going to be in that day or jack me again. you see people get their cars and i'll see you coming in the harness seems like they'll hurry up and run into the house like they don't want to they don't want to talk to your get your mail or anything like that. that's one goal i don't know what i can do is. just try renaming. me now now to some give me.

you're back with r t international let's return to that story just to reiterate a swedish think tank has released a report warning against the modernization of nuclear arsenals regardless of the creasing warhead numbers at 9 states were in possession of a total of $14000.00 nuclear weapons the report also noted that israel had 90 nuclear warheads a country which has a long standing policy of not commenting on its arsenal let's cross live now to director of the stockholm international peace and chief research institute down dan thanks so much for holding on the line there just on that 1st point one how did you go up by estimating the number of nuclear weapons in israel's possession given the country silence on the matter. well there's more publicly available material

nothing so you say we're going to most of the amount of weapons grade material. there much it takes to build a bomb of a certain size. given messiah learn you just do the arithmetic there are obviously assumptions in the early transparent about. web site and. you know that israel has had nuclear weapons now since some. 6 it's sort of the over 50 years and there's little comment. well it seems that our estimate is and. why does israel refused to comment on its arse now and why i wanted sign the treaty on the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons i asked far as i know done every other state in the middle east has signed is that right. i think so yeah. well i think i mean if they were if they were true that would be it and you know that would be essentially illegal so presumably they don't want to get all that there are plenty

of people in governments who know for a fact that israel has got nuclear weapons even there and is not absolutely sure of the exact number but israel's strategy has always been one of promoting uncertainty about how and whether house nuclear weapons. for one reason or another it regards certainty as being name of security and perhaps to its reputation but there is really no doubt that there has been so to be honest i don't perfectly understand the logic of it just one more in this particular point given israel's policy of silence over its nuclear program as you are saying they may not want to admit it because that would be illegal is the west treatment of iran which has been transparent abide to its activities for the most part on further. well i think you should. ask the question is the treatment by your in union. and by the european union member states have signed their on nuclear

deal is that not it is the us trade him sara. i think it is because iran signed an agreement which our assessment says is technically sound and which the international atomic energy agency has said finally that up until now iran has been fully implementing that decree and that means there's there's no basis in terms of the treaty itself is not a legal technical basis for the us to be withdrawing from a technique and this was due to political objections to iran itself and to its policies and its actions so yeah i think it is. i think it's unfair but i think it's also regrettable in another way because you should stick by its own action like that makes agreements less viable less easy to reach that's reliable perhaps in the future. and i think it's also added clearly to the instability at regimes

it's also dangerous this isn't just in the big picture here don how alarmed are you by the fact that global powers are continuing as you find to modernize their nuclear arsenal. yes i think the earth they are continuing to modernize means that the world which say envisage is one which continues to be a new era. i think one has to example logic that when. nuclear weapons exist there is a risk in some way or other some may be used through misunderstanding through error we have to try to continue to close in past years during the nuclear europe to having now and then you can a conflagration completely by accident so it would be safer to continue to get the numbers down and head towards a nuclear free world. the all the nuclear weapon states are at the moment

indicating that that's through their actions that that's not the direction in which they want to both i think more and in fact in just sat as though not only are they modernizing their nuclear weapon arsenals but that also there are strong indications that both the u.s. and russia are interested in attracted by a strategic nuclear doctrines that emphasize the possibility of using nuclear weapons to advantage in other words fighting a nuclear war to win or that's not to say that either side is committed in any sense whatsoever to starting a nuclear war it's not to say that a nuclear war is probable but it does mean perhaps. the nuclear trigger is becoming a little bit more about trigger them on what law. and higher. alarm are you and in fact your report on it do you believe that when it goes out that that

actually it has it's impactful i should say that it does these countries who have nuclear weapons will actually take on board some of the aspects of what you're speaking of bite because as you're explaining going through the main parts of this it it's a worrying situation if they continue to escalate and go up. i think the within the nuclear sanderson's of the different countries even the ones with lesser nuclear powers they're pretty hardened about this kind of argument and not really very likely to be much attention but i would hope that a month's worth of political while busy in the months policymakers opinion formers influences then there can more easily be a recognition that we really are in a row where we're playing with fire i mean lots of people over the past 70 or so years at the new pair have used different metaphors though the one which i already . thought was the most. striking one is that we're standing up to our

necks in our pool of gasoline in a dark cavern and in order to see that i have a lighting a match i mean we really are. playing with danger and we have been lucky that there has been no you care conflagration for a long time it seemed as if the world was the international community mainstage politically committed to driving down the numbers of nuclear weapons and now what we see is what looks like a pause in the possible beginning of the numbers will be increasing at a furious time isn't it martin is there a light at the end of the tunnel though that the decrease in the number of warheads must be a good thing though is that trend going to continue do you expect that to. well the other 2 there's 2 good things that you know there are 9 nuclear weapons test that only 4 new ones are about 3 you since the late 96 so the pace of newton around proliferation has been much slower than it could hit and there are

far more governments and states in the world that could make nuclear weapons and they've got them and that's very important. the 2nd. set is that combat to a cold war peak in maybe in the mid 1980 s. there are about 65270000 nuclear warheads worldwide is now under 14000 that's still a dangerously high number but it is much less than it was so progress can be manned i guess we are in a position where we're never quite sure whether the american president means what he said any one time but president trump has that he wants to get good as he puts the arms control agreement with russia and with china and if that's a possibility and if that gets on the table and you know it would then be up to president putin and g. to be responding constructively and seeing if indeed there can be further steps or

sail at least a less nuclear armed world of we have today here that's a big point to finish on down smith director of the stockholm international peace research institute thank you for your time and your thoughts this hour thanks very much. well keeping an eye weapons theme british arms sales to saudi arabia could be on the line after peace campaigners won a legal challenge over the weapons potential use in yemen they claim they 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 review charlotte dubinsky reports. this is a significant ruling by the coast appeal but the route is a long road ahead for what the campaign is trying to stop these all i'm saying is body u.k. government to decide the led coalition that has been forming yemen for several

years now the coup took field today you've forced a ruling that was made back in 2007 by the high court ruling had said that almost sounds by the government to the saudi led coalition we would know full quote means that now the court appeal is decided though sales are in the judgment today it was read out the precess decision. a couple of wrong in in one significant way went on to say that because the u.k. government had made concluded assessments of whether the saudi coalition committee's violations of international humanitarian law in the past a new attempt to do so in regards to use of arms in yemen so a very specific judgment by the qutub appeal today this was the reaction outside the court following. this case for the very top because that we now need

a judicial review in the whole system 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 put those on the sales by the government to saudi arabia is said to have been. point 7000000000 pounds that since 2015 and the u.k. government is said to be the 2nd largest exporter of all means to those all the sort of been exporting to act well think you made. forms. and a report by the u.n. back in 2018 suggested that it. might use populated areas actually it can put 90 percent of that 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 captain reaction to this decision today this has been a brutal condemnation of u.k. foreign policy visit in 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 grow on life he says those decisions are unlawful 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 in yemen and the causes and how it's unfolding.

for the secretary of state for international trade and liam fox has been reacting to that decision in the commons and said that the government will have. don't 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 our t. inter-national we'll be back at the top of the hour with much more global war news in the meantime took a look at some of the programs will be airing over the next week or so live from r t h q.

we had one man 3540 years old. it lost this child in the water. some 30 fisherman later in this leapt. i guess to some. elements in the head. and the. well stubborn and hurt them and. i believe that this is one of the therapy is to. tama. absurd to really harsh things that happen in life.

and. democracies do not deport human rights defenders over there peaceful expression democracies do not rule over millions of people for another people you know for decades on there is a larger context here and that context starts with the fact that israel has been occupying palestinians for 52 years and that occupation itself has deteriorated the most basic ideas of what a legitimate democratic government looks like inside of israel. why a paradise with so much 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 that 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 bio. 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. it's hard to take some from somebody if you know have something to replace it. we want to do this interview today and all these markets open then they take me.

off the area. so i'm going to use that selling drugs if we'll hire someone to put the money in it back. then judge me all the way to life it's almost been basically mccullers peaceful for us all or. do you guys know what secret any security positions i've been in that day were jacked me again. you see people get all their cars and i'll see you coming in the harness seems like they'll hurry up and run into the house like they don't want to they don't want to talk to your get your mail or anything like that. i just want to go. i can do this. just try renaming. me now and now to some give me.

what is it call. decline is magic and the new type of digital currency the centralized digital scarcity chancellor bring a 2nd bailout for a bank that's called that got us a lot for a 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 a new world this paradigm shifting technology that transforms economics and finance in a heartbeat the apollo 11 landing. to the max and stacey. please
