owners you have to preserve complex and get some point in your life where. you don't care anymore nobody cares about your so you don't care about anything. italy's prime minister announces his resignation amid bitter tensions in the ruling coalition for the interior minister at the tail slovenia accused him of trading under workable conditions and call for snap elections. also this hour the u.s. confirms its 1st test of a cruise missile previously banned by a treaty signed between moscow and washington more than 30 years ago. and u.s. attorney general william bart removes the acting director of prisons after the suicide of geoffrey epstein we discussed the conditions at the jail were absent his life with his former lawyer. fundamentally wrong with that is that jeffrey epstein did not belong in that facility to begin with.
12:01 pm
you're watching r t international coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turned 7 pm welcome to the program more than a year of tensions and italy's ruling coalition have come to a head with the italian prime minister decepticon to offering his resignation after the country's interior minister. called for a vote of no confidence it once again leaves italy in a deep political crisis. well that resignation over its lease prime minister said because they had been widely speculated for the last few days and now it's happened to force plunging italy into a fresh political crisis in his resignation speech on achieves the often he launched a blistering attack on the deputy prime minister and into him in the cemetery you
12:02 pm
so be me over the leak basically accusing him of doing everything to profiteer self and profiteers party but the government and he accused much he was so binney of being the one who was driving the government to crisis week it all up to the poll among true debate will go to the president of the republic to officially communicate the end of this government intended my resignation this prime minister well salvini had cooled 2 weeks ago for snap elections amidst the summer holidays in italy saying that the coalition government as it stood was simply workable saying that he just couldn't work under the constraints of that government. on the world of business of the man as those that produce things but it's really demands action so the only thing that italy cannot afford is to waste time anyone who is wasting time is doing so because they're afraid of losing this seat we asked that we vote as soon as possible the italians would choose a government to govern us
12:03 pm
a coalition government was formed back in june of 2018 and it was put in the or pretty or coupling between the left wing party of the 5 star movement and the anti immigration anti establishment party over the believe the 2 coming together to form that government back in june of last year following the elections in march since then what we have seen is a rather rocky road with the partners having several disagreements including recently about a rare willing. between france and italy what also has happened is there's been a reversal in the fortunes of the 2 parties since those elections about 14 months ago back then we saw the pipestone movement taking the lion's share of the vote compared to the league and now it seems to have flipped on its head with poll suggesting if a vote was held today that the league that's material being his party would take some 38 percent of the boat significantly higher than what the polls say would
12:04 pm
happen to the 5 star movement so what does this all mean for it to be now well that's perhaps the $1000000.00 question there is the chance that the fine still movement to last the biggest party could now go on to another coalition government of the parties including the democratic party led by its release former prime minister you know renzi and that was something that the material v.v. actually came to about today when he launched his own attack in the senate we could also see a technocrat government or a national unity government or of course that could be the snap election. are to charlotte devinsky reporting there now in other news the u.s. has conducted its 1st test of a 500 kilometer cruise missile it-i previously banned for over 30 years under a now defunct arms control treaty between moscow and washington russia's foreign minister claimed the us was preparing for the test long before the treaty expired on the 2nd of august parties come up and has more. we have official word from the
12:05 pm
pentagon that indeed there has been a test of a missile that would have violated the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty that treaty has now expired and the usa has conducted a test of a missile that would have violated it here's what we heard from the pentagon the department of defense conducted to fly test of the conventionally configured ground cruise missile the u.s. west coast sunday the test missile exited its ground mobile launcher and accurately impacted his target after more than $500.00 come to his own flight now the test was conducted on san nicolas island off the coast of california we understand furthermore that the test was announced on august 2nd the very day that the i.n.f. treaty expired now the official reason for the united states withdrawing from the i.n.f. treaty was that they accused russia of violating that agreement now russia has said
12:06 pm
they did not and denies violating this agreement we also heard from russian president vladimir putin who emphasized that russia won't be the 1st to boost its military if the usa were not to escalate following the withdrawal of the treaty this is what the russian president said if we receive verified information that the u.s. has finished developing and started producing the systems russia will be forced to begin its own full scale development of similar missiles so even after the united states withdrew from the i.n.f. treaty we did not see an escalation from russia however the united states has proceeded to test this missile that would have violated the treaty now it's important to remember that the i.n.f. treaty was signed in 1987 and it was a key moment in the scaling down in deescalation and eventually end of the cold war however that i.n.f. treaty that banned nuclear and missiles of a certain length is no longer in effect now russia has repeatedly reached out to
12:07 pm
the. united states for dialogue around this issue but so far the conversation hasn't seemed to start. and it seems dollar terms been eager to strengthen america's nuclear capability for quite a while at least since he was president elect in 2016 that's well before his the miss ration started making noise about alleged russian treaty violations and the same goes for parts of the us establishment. the united states must regain the strategic advantage by expediting the development and deployment of a new generation of ground launched missiles now the department of defense will be able to conduct does precision development activities bento to an f. treaty so the department of defense will still have some building dos system they couldn't be full united states has said that this is not nuclear capable and the united states is planning for another test probably in november this one and somewhere between 508000 kilometers
12:08 pm
a range but the one that they're testing in the member it's miscreants 300-4000 kilometers or range that's another one this year is a very unfortunate moves that have been going on for the past couple of years at least well we can actually dated back to 2001 with the announcement that the u.s. is going to clear the a.b.m. treaty there's only one major nonproliferation treaty remaining the new start treaty which ends and 2021 and the united states has already indicated that it will almost certainly call out of that one also or not when there is that one which means we are on the verge of nuclear anarky. the u.s. attorney general william barr has removed the acting director of u.s. prisons from his post after the recent death of disgraced millionaire geoffrey epstein some lawmakers have praised the decision and concern over the conditions at the jail where he took his own life. epstein was convicted of pedophilia back in
12:09 pm
2007 at the time he was sentenced to 13 months in prison as part of a deal signed by then u.s. attorney alexander costa had many friends in high places among them donald trump bill clinton and prince andrew at the time of his death he was awaiting trial for sex trafficking offenses he's being held at a facility reserved for the most dangerous criminals among them drug baron chapo epstein had been taken off suicide watch despite having made a recent attempt on his old life we spoke to his lawyer mark furnish he thinks conditions at the jail may have pushed him over the edge. the conditions to which he was subjected would go even the needs of the strongest among us it's this is one of the toughest federal pretrial detention facilities in the country and the conditions are inhumane epstein was subjected to conditions that were similar to those of guzman but not remotely justified
12:10 pm
by his character or what he was accused of because he was not. a violent individual like chapo was alleged to have been and he's not a guy who has escaped from prior facilities like guzman was alleged to have done so one would be comparing apples and oranges to liken the 2 to each other but yet their conditions of confinement were strikingly similar and there's something fundamentally wrong with that and what's fundamentally wrong with that is that geoffrey abstain did not belong in that facility to begin with. just my own personal opinion it wouldn't surprise me to learn of anything that might have happened with jeffrey epstein and in my view at that in that facility the real story the real miracle is that we don't hear about these sort of things more about murdered pretrial detainees or suicidal pretrial detainees because the facility.
12:11 pm
is barbaric and it's a whole it's a it's it's like i don't use the word lightly lightly but it's sort of like an american go log for people who have not yet been convicted of anything so the real shock here is that we don't hear about deaths at pretrial oppressive onerous pretrial detention facilities like the m.c.c. more often. any of us could one day find ourselves rightly or wrongly on on the. business and of of the united states department of justice and nobody nobody sued should be subjected to the conditions that epstein was exposed to for many reasons one of which is that compromises your mental and physical functioning and you can't assist adequately in preparing your own defense and it crushes people
12:12 pm
we don't really know what happened to mr epstein but certainly i believe personally that being a locked in a facility like that under extraordinary conditions would logically wreak havoc with one's mind and body so i certainly i certainly believe that they personally that they could have played a role absolutely i mean i think we would be foolish to to deny that but again one doesn't want to treat the symptom while ignoring the disease and the disease is. how people are routinely denied bail with a shocking ease given the laws that congress passed allowing prosecutors and judge to do that epstein did not belong locked up pending trial and he didn't belong in a hellhole like that before he had been convicted of anything. western media outlets are warning russian radiation monitoring stations have gone silent
12:13 pm
following an explosion earlier this month at a military site in the country's north but in a question about has been digging deeper into the story. 2 russian radiation money touring stations have resumed operation and this news follows a number of alarming reports that were made earlier by a number of foreign news media claiming that several russian radiation money touring stations went offline allegedly after a nuclear accident that happened in russia north on august 8th now the wall street journal wrote that 4 stations that were designed to detect nuclear radiation all went silent right after the blast the article raised concerns that russia was attempting to conceal evidence from the explosion at a missile test site the wall street journal quoted their vote the executive director of the comprehensive nuclear. we receive data from monitoring stations
12:14 pm
around the world now he per jack to the potential path of the plume from the explosion and posted it on his twitter feed now right after the accident russia send special x. sperry's to the sun to monitor the situation and just yesterday the country's president vladimir putin said that there was no threat of a radiation leak. and there is new spike in british and levels experts including independent ones are monitoring the situation received reports from both military and civilian specialists and there's no significant change there . measures to avoid any surprises. me the explosion off a missile and then with then eyes a top power source killed 5 people and injured and now the 3 now right after the accidents there were indeed very few details of what happened and that mostly fuel
12:15 pm
the western tabloids so with the rumors of a true novel like disaster whispered radiation leak also appearing in the media with sound. even writing about the number of the disease to being higher now later the russian nuclear agency issued a report revealing that the accidental happened on a c. platform after a series of trials and that there was no threat of a radiation leak. twitter and facebook say they've done their part to thwart china's attempts to undermine the protest movement in hong kong after the break we'll look at who could be behind the demonstrations.

to other political issues over the last 11 weeks rallies have frequently turned violent with police using tear gas and rubber bullets are to his own corner takes a closer look at what might be motivating some of the protesters. freedom fair elections democracy it's words like these you'll find throughout the western media coverage of the protests in hong kong but the reality of it is all much more complicated. it's not just politics motivating the violence racial slurs against people from mainland china can be heard throughout the crowds and seen graffitied on official buildings protesters have also been seen brandishing the infamously racist pepe the frog me an internet hate symbol and this is enough phobic violence has even spilled over to protests in other countries.
12:19 pm
this anti china extremism comes from a concept called hong kong exceptionalism the idea that hong kong has more in common with the west than with china because of its british colonial past and that ideologies it here in sa are not exactly shy about their love for all things anti china 6 6 6. despite all the american flags and anthem singing donald trump says he had no idea why protests were being blamed on the u.s. but his cabinet might have an explanation since they've been meeting with one of the opposition's main icons jimmy lie. appreciation lies a self-made billionaire who's made a huge mark on hong kong's opposition movement he landed himself in hot water with beijing back in 2012 when his newspaper published an ad portraying pregnant chinese

women as locusts and he's very open about his feelings for american values we need to know that america is behind us but back in our some america is showing moral authority because we are the only place in china which shows you volleys and is fighting the same battle you have with china but there's another younger and not so rich rebel leader at play here too joshua wong a fresh 22 year old face of revolution a face loved in many corridors of washington to marco rubio was so in all he nominated wong for a nobel peace prize leave it to washington to nominate a leader of violent protests for peace when it suits them agenda the u.s. is very determinately supporting these protesters every arm of the corporate media. radio television social media is is raising them and always referring to them as pro-democracy protesters where they're not at all
12:21 pm
this has nothing to do with democracy and they are determined to sabotage in every way that they can any normal relations between china with hong kong and it it is creating intentionally a great deal of confusion among young people who have been pulled into this against their own interests. we've asked the u.s. state department and leaders of the hong kong protest movement to comment on the alleged links we've highlighted there so far we have not received any responses. a us democratic lawmaker has apologized after picture showing the marcus ass nation of president trump went viral illness states owner martin sound of all says an entertainment firm hired for one of his fundraiser events was behind them the pictures were posted online by the senator supporters who were at the event in the photos a man is seen pointing a gun at another person wearing
12:22 pm
a trump mask the post has provoked quite an outcry the apology from senator sanders all for the detestable pictures from his event depicts going to cessation of president trump is too little too late it's inexcusable for an elected official to allow the promotion of violence in any way if the individual pictured is a star for all volunteer they should be terminated immediately martin some doval in illinois is further proof it is the democrats who are inciting violence i have yet to see a republican promote such violence every democrat should be asked if they support to disavow this the editorial director at the reactionary times who you know rivera believes violent behavior has become increasingly acceptable among some parts of the left. well unfortunately the rhetoric from the liberal left has continued to get more and more violent this is becoming increasingly accepted by the left in the
12:23 pm
mainstream media continues to blast this message oh we're seeing an increase in violent behavior from the left people complain about supposedly negative you know divisive rhetoric from president trump but i've never seen a president from stage a mock assassination of any of his democratic opponent what happens is it has the potential to radicalize the weak minded you know today's stage assassinations become tomorrow's assassination attempt that's a global news break down for this hour and that's all for me as well today thanks for tuning in wherever you maybe. one else seems wrong. but i will just don't. let me.
