i have less political power. was. prime minister resigns and accuses interior minister matteo south vini of pushing the country into a political crisis. u.s. attorney general william polk removes the acting director of prisons off to the suicide of jeffrey abstain we discuss the conditions at the jail where epstein took his life with his former lawyer. is fundamentally wrong with that is that jeffrey epstein did not belong in that facility to begin with. the u.s. military and answers plans for new intermediate range hypersonic missiles after pulling out of the i and their treaty with russia and test launching a new cruise missile.

you are watching on t.v. international i'm rosana lockridge thank you for joining us. now more than a year of tensions in italy's ruling coalition have come to a head with the italian prime minister just 60 kaante resigning that's after the country's interior minister matteo savvy 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 course plunging its lead into a fresh political crisis in his resignation speech on cheese the often he noticed a blistering attack on the deputy prime minister i mean to him in the cemetery you

so beany over the leak basically accusing him of doing everything to profiteer himself and profiteers party the government and he accused mattel you so-be me of being the one who's driving the government into crisis you make it all up to the pole mantra debate is over we'll 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 is really cannot afford is to waste time anyone who is wasting time is doing so because they're afraid of losing the seat we asked that we vote as soon as possible in the italians would choose

a government the government a coalition government was formed back in june of 2018 and it was put in or pretty or coupling between the left wing party of the 5 star movement and the anti immigration anti establishment party over the league 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 railway linked. between france and italy what also has happened is the spin reversal in the fortunes of the 2 parties since those elections about 14 months ago back then we saw the 5 star movement taking the lion's share of the vote compared to the league and now it seems to 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

happen to the 5 star movement so what does this all mean for italy now well that's perhaps the $1000000.00 question there is the chance that the feinstein movement to last through the biggest party could now go on to form another coalition government with of the parties including the democratic party led by italy's former prime minister to your renzi and that was something that's material sylvie actually hinted 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 there could be those snap elections where research or the italian center for electoral studies al their power believe such a coalition never had a chance of long term survival. it was the 1st government form by these 2 parties that by someone and never been in government and their legal previously in government but with certain right governments so this was a new experimental coalition governments we have problems that clearly show

governments that these unique one was not expected to last a bit longer regardless of what the mean is there is hope to end the clearly beginning but of course nobody expected these to fall or. loss of lives balance a beatle but this is lately surprising and even from the league didn't really understand why salvini moved to so fast in this very moment. in other news this the us attorney general william barr has removed the acting director of u.s. prisons from his post after the recent death of discoursed millionaire geoffrey epstein some lawmakers have praised the decision maker concern over conditions at the jail where he took his own life. epstein was convicted of paedophilia back in 2007 at the time he was sentenced to 13 months in prison as part of a deal signed by then u.s. attorney alexander acosta seen had many friends in high places among them donald

trump bill clinton and prince andrew at the time of his death the financial was awaiting trial for sex trafficking offenses he was being held at a facility reserved for the most dangerous criminals among them the drug baron el chapo epstein had been taken off suicide watch despite having made a recent attempt on his own life and we spoke to his former lawyer mark furnish he thinks conditions at the jail may have pushed him to the edge. the conditions to which he was subjected would buckle even the knees 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 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 like in 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. 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 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. the u.s. military has announced plans to develop new hypersonic missiles with intermediate range they would have been banned under the i.n.f. treaty with russia which was recently scrapped by washington and it follows the task of an american cruise missile which was also outlawed under of us agreement

russia's foreign minister claims the us was preparing for the test long before the treaty expired on 2nd of august. we should be known from october of last year when the us national security advisor john bolton visited us he said that donald trump statement about washington's withdrawal from the treaty is not an invitation to dialogue but a final decision it appears that then or maybe even earlier the us started preparing the missile tests conducted on sunday and banned by the i.n.f. treaty the department of defense conducted a fly test of the conventionally configured ground launch cruise missile of the us west coast sunday the test missile exited its ground mobile launcher and accurately impacted this target after more than 500 kilometers of flight the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty was signed between the 2 rivaling superpowers in the cold war in 1907 it banned certain types of short and mid range missiles and

expired on 2nd of august with donald trump saying he had no willingness to extend it due to alleged violations by the kremlin russia denying the claims and repeatedly invited washington for talks but some parts of the us establishment weren't welcoming to the idea. 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 those research and development activities bento to an f. treaty so the department of defense will start those have some building though system they couldn't before the united states has said that this is not nuclear capable and the united states is planning for another test probably in november this one is somewhere between 508000 kilometers a range but the one that they're testing in the ember is 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 years at least

well we can actually dated back to 2001 with the announcement that the u.s. is going to clarify the a.b.m. treaty there's only one major nonproliferation treaty remaining the new start treaty which ends in 2021 and the united states has already indicated that it was certainly all out of that one also or not when they do that one which means we are on the verge of nuclear and r.k. . social media platforms twitter facebook say they've blocked a number of chinese accounts for trying to undermine the protests in hong kong we are disclosing a significant stayed back to informational pression focused on the situation hong kong this disclosure consists of $936.00 a cancer vegetating from within the people's republic of china over all these accounts were deliberately and specifically tempting to sow political discord in hong kong including undermining the legitimacy and political positions of the

protest movement on the ground we removed 7 pages 3 groups and 5 facebook accounts involved in coordinated in authentic behavior as part of a small network that originated in china and focused on hong kong the protests. movement in hong kong started back in june of a draw off legislation allowing the extradition of suspects to mainland china the demonstrations have since brought into other political issues over the last 11 weeks ronnie's have frequently violent with police using tear gas and rubber bullets against protest is donald cool takes a closer look at what's motivating the protest his. 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 graffiti the unofficial 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. was. 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. 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 by backing arce america is showing moral authority because we are the only place in china which shares your values 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 him 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 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 what we else the u.s. state department and leaders of the hong kong protest movement to comment on the alleged links we highlighted so far we have not received

a response. china and the u.s. are at loggerheads over the set of fighter jets to taiwan we'll have more on that after this short break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development that only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. you know world of big partisan. lot and conspiracies it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than

ever we need to be smart 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 troops the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. welcome back a new round is developing between beijing and washington over taiwan beijing is furious the trump of ministration has approved the sale of fighter jets to the island and is warning it will take action if the deal goes ahead. china has made numerous solemn representations to the u.s. on the sale of the f.

16 s to taiwan the u.s. just about all the consequences triggered by the sale it's $8000000000.00 u.s. dollars it's a lot of money that's a lot of jobs and we know they're going to use this f. 16 responsibly the deal still needs to be approved by the u.s. senate but if it goes through it will be the 1st sale of f. 16 fighters to taiwan since 1992 previous requests for jets by taiwan were rejected by the obama administration and last month the u.s. state department approved another arms deal with taiwan it includes 108 tanks and more than $200.00 missiles the deal is worth some $2200000000.00 and at the time beijing also accused the u.s. of meddling saying it would cut ties with every american company involved in the deal. taiwan is officially recognized by only 18 countries but the u.s. has of unofficially been supporting the island's military since the 1980 s. china sees taiwan as part of its territory china experts anneliese's beijing will

point the finger at washington if tensions escalate. there is some unity in washington to go hard on china and some of these folks who are elected they're basically elected with the same funding or the people who got people into the trumpet in a stretch gratian and who fund the think tanks in washington and so it's all basically representing the same elite interests china sees this as an aggressive move by the u.s. to try to provoke them into a war the chinese basically up and say that the u.s. is going to be at fault here because they're not being consistent and not honoring the promises that were made in previous administrations and so this big departure is going to be on the u.s. and that's where they want to place the blame here if there is any military escalation that happens. senior u.s.

democrats have been accused of abandoning some of their core values in their bid to get rid of donald donald trump in 2022 they collaborated on a book on how to defeat him or food by someone accused of sexual harassment. given him a book once again put a human in the position of authority and that is a slap in the face to all of the woman that he has victimized. for the 1st time many women felt empowered to speak about their own experiences because society took them seriously and to their claims to be credible there's an

awakening taking place across the country women and yes men too well aware of the sexual misconduct. and harassment that has gone on for yes i think the policy has been quite equivalent and strong in saying we have a 0 tolerance policy. western media warning russian radiation monitoring stations have gone silent following the explosion earlier this month at a military site in the country's north medina kitchen of a 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 4 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

both military and civilian specialists and there's no significant change there. mary measures to avoid any surprises. me now for us right after the accidents there were indeed very few details available on what happened and that mostly fuel the western tabloids so with the rumors of a true novel like disaster whispered radiation leak also appearing in the media with some even writing about the number of the disease to being higher now later the russian nuclear agency issued a report. revealing that the accident app and honesty planned for him after a series of trials and that there was no threat of a radiation leak. a u.s. democratic lawmaker has apologized after pictures showing the mock us as a nation of president trump went viral illinois state senator martin sandoval says and it's entertainment firm hired for one of his fundraiser events was behind the

liberal left has continued to get more and more violent and this is becoming increasingly accepted by the left in the 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 trying to stage a mock assassination of any of his democratic opponents what happens is it has the potential to radicalize the weak minded you know today's stage assassinations become tomorrow's assassination attempts. i'm or is on the low could be back here in just over half an hour's time with the next round up of news headlines from around the world see that.
