9:01 pm
those. hello you're watching r t international i'm was on a low court thank you for joining us. president putin has ordered the russian military to respond to the latest u.s. missile test this comes after washington pulled out of a key missile treaty prompting russia to warn of a new arms race. has the story. there you have a and all the latest developments in statements are in essence the new reality of the world without the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty how murder by washington and moscow decades ago and eventually torn apart after an announcement by the us president donald trump at the end of last year earlier this week the u.s. state department announced that the us successfully tested
9:02 pm
a new cruise missile that was previously outlawed by the terms of the i.n.f. treaty plus even before that the us secretary of defense revealed that america was working on the deployment of new missiles to the asia pacific and the head of the pentagon made it clear that he wants that to happen asap now this friday the russian president as a result of that got together with the most senior russian officials that are in charge of security in this country and now he's saying that the american tests are nothing but a clear indication that washington pulled out of the treaty now because moscow was violating something russia believes that this was a well calculated plan to get their hands on tied the americans orchestrated a propaganda campaign alleging violations by russia as it's now clear this was just a smokescreen to hide washington's own breaches of the treaty and its intention to leave it there so leaves 0 doubt about america's real intentions have got rid of
9:03 pm
the existing limits it's now free to deploy previously forbid missiles anywhere in the world top american politicians say that you systems could be deployed 1st in the asia pacific region but this affects our interests as well because it is situated near our borders over the last few months we kept hearing warnings from the russian capital that if here they realize that washington is rushing to develop or deploy new missiles now that they don't have to abide by the terms of the agreement moscow will do exact. we the same and on friday mr putin made it clear that the russian take on this won't change and that moscow was ready to take all the necessary steps presentable and i mean. as you know we've never wanted and still don't want to get into an arms race which is expensive and destructive for a country's economy all the latest weapons that we've been developing were response to america's unilateral pullout from the 2003 antiballistic missile treaty we were
9:04 pm
forced to maintain the security of our people and our country we are doing the same now and no doubt will keep on doing this in the future so once again the message from the russian government is they don't want to be dragged into this game but they are being forced to do it and the response from them will come quickly well the collapse of the i.n.f. treaty was addressed at the u.n. security council where tensions flared russia and china called for global action to prevent a new arms race and rival powers blamed each other for the ongoing escalation. do you realize that because of the u.s. ambitions we are one step away from an arms race that cannot be controlled or regulated in any way the united states will not remain a party to a treaty that is deliberately violated by russia that with as if this depended only on us we would not reach this dangerous situation the united states is taking the necessary steps to address the threat posed by intermediate range missile forces
9:05 pm
are being deployed in ever larger numbers by russia and china are good if you but what about you are you going to avoid responsibility for what is happening in the future generations forgive you for this russia's present actions are in line with a pattern of aggression that represents a clear threat to international peace and security the russian federation is the sole responsibility for the reason demise of the really has really been in my interest do you not understand that by your responses to the americans you are returning to historical situation when missiles will target european cities from different sites. and we heard from peter because nick he's director of nuclear studies at the american university he believes the breakdown of global arms treaties could lead to disaster. the last thing the world is another insane 1000 a style your clear arms race is really going on from the 1950 s. through the next you know but if we get written as though there's only one piece
9:06 pm
left of the arms control architecture that's the new start treaty that expires in february 2020 want alton has already said that it's worth less and he wants to get rid of it trump has indicated the same ready have about 14000 nuclear weapons in the world that's enough to end life on the planet many times over and so people have got to take this very very seriously and begin to try to control the crazies people who are willing to gamble with the end of life on our planet. china has unveiled a new round of tariffs on u.s. goods prompting a furious reaction from president trump and series of tweets he ordered american firms to leave china and vowed to end what he called an unfair trading relationship . we don't need china and frankly would be far better off without them the vast amounts of money made and stolen by china from the united states year after year for decades will and must stop the great american companies are hereby ordered to
9:07 pm
immediately start looking for an alternative to china including bringing your companies home and making your products in the us. the us president also announced to get another tariff hike starting from october 1st $250000000000.00 worth of chinese goods will be taxed at 30 percent that's up from 25 percent and for next month the remaining $300000000000.00 worth of imports will be subject to a 15 percent tariff and that is up from 10 percent and it is just the latest escalation in a tit for tat tariff war that has been going on for months before trump's announcement china unveiled plans for duties of 10 percent on $75000000000.00 of american goods those take effect in 2 stages in september and in december stock markets have been rattled by the stand off the dow jones plunged by more than $600.00 points on friday sparking fears of a new recession where else to economists for their views on who will be hit hardest
9:08 pm
by the tariffs. it's just the the degree to which both sides lows this comes at a difficult time for donald trump not so much for china china's economy has been in a downturn since the last quarter of 2018 at that it was mainly for domestic cyclical reasons then of course the trade war and the tariff skim along but the chinese did manage to stabilize the economy by providing growth stable automatic stabilisers and have kept it in the 6 percent range the u.s. at that point of time was booming economically but that boom is beginning to wear out and in fact it is the economy is softening and people are saying that it might head towards a recession next year so this comes at a bad moment for donald crumb going into his reelection campaign that there's greater uncertainty and aggravation on this front which is going to hurt investor and investment sentiment in this economy and the president knows he can't order
9:09 pm
u.s. businesses to do anything of the sort i think the language was just was typed in a moment of anger but you see the attitude that he thinks that he is american trade abroad that it's not about the people doing business it's about him setting rules and playing a chess game with the chinese premier it's not surprising at this point that. the president is in a sense tweeting the market down and he announces these moves kind of impulsively via twitter and i think you're seeing markets correctly respond very negatively to this if he wants to say that those tax cuts were good for the economy then this is you know disastrously almost catastrophic lee bad. and new york times political editor has been accused of anti semitism after a series of old deleted tweets were uncovered it comes after
9:10 pm
a similar scandal with newspapers washington editor. and leaked editorial tapes in his posts tom wright santi appeared to single out members of jewish asian and indian communities ridiculing and insulting them on thursday he posted an apology on his social networks but the revelation provoked an immediate backlash i have deleted tweets from a decade ago the door offensive i am deeply sorry the zionist organization of america is the new york times to immediately dismiss this individual and to undertake a review of all of the stories that he has edited for possible and to semitic barros well we have of course asked the new york times to comment on the story and we will bring you any response they give us recently in a leaked audio recording the executive editor of the new york times appeared to indicate a shift in the paper's agenda race in the next year is going to be a huge part of the american story and i mean race in terms of not only african americans and their relationship with donald trump but latino asian immigration
9:11 pm
legal and media analyst lionel gave us his take on the scandal. i don't mean to laugh i'm sorry but. 10 years ago i wrote this i'm sorry now i didn't mean that for 10 years i've labored under this is guilty and now i now i've got to come clean i'm so sorry about what i wrote then i haven't said anything now but now that you bring this up i'm going to bring this up look what did new york times historically meant to the did great old lady the the this this passion of the crime the the the mount a limp is of journalism new york. and then you have dean baquet who has a town hall meeting when his employees are are basically upset with the fact that
9:12 pm
his paper is not being aggressive enough in going after trump so he has this town hall meeting where he's trying to quell the anger by saying don't worry we're going to do everything we can to focus on a particular news and commentary vector when instead they should be reporting the facts. conservative activists in the u.s. celebrating after a court agreed to reconsider its censorship case against facebook google twitter and apple those bringing the lawsuit accused the tech giants of bias and of suppressing content from the conservative end of the political spectrum controversial right wing activist laura is leading the case with a group called freedom watch she has previously been banned from all kinds of online platforms from twitter and facebook to pay pal and the lawsuit also alleges the 4 tech giants violated the 1st amendment and u.s.
9:13 pm
anti monopoly laws there's been a growing number of leaks and testimonies from those who work for big tech alleging an anti conservative bias. it's. given out blacklist where is someone that's right it shows that there are conservative and they'll be blacklisted between different companies and different teams. that really need to change i see google executives go to congress and say that it's not going to be that it is political and i'm just so sure that's not true they're telling people that oh they don't they don't have any blacklist this is all you know they don't have any political ideology they don't have any political bias but it's really clear that they do the current legal consensus is that tech giants are allowed to moderate the content that appears on the science or through the apps though they have denied any censorship. do you discriminate more on philosophy like anti conservative versus pro liberal
9:14 pm
no or policies and our rhythms don't take a look consideration any affiliation for speed we're viewpoint there is absolutely no directive in any of the changes that we make to have a bias in anything that we do we use a robust methodology to reflect what is being said about any given topic or any particular time and we try to do it objectively using a set of rubrics certainly if this happened to her this is happened to a lot of people and it's high time that the big tech giants were challenge to hunt this there's a confusion i think because americans love free speech and we love private property so we love for example when it's a company and we say well that company has a right to do anything it wants to but there comes a point where it's almost like a public utility because they have such a monopoly on communication in general especially in terms of social media so some of these giants that really do have control. they've changed the game you can only
9:15 pm
come to one conclusion when it seems to only happen against conservatives in general and and i think that this flies in the face of of our free speech and you know that for most of us in america we could agree that our 1st amendment speech is critical to everything that is freedom and most of us would wish that some of these tech giants would go along with that. a couple in australia whose child was found to be malnourished after being placed on a vegan diet have avoided jail time the judge handed them 300 hours of community service instead according to police the baby will severely underweight eating only oats and vegetables she suffered bone problems and was hardly able to move doctors said that at 19 months she was the size of a 3 month old baby and had no teeth due to a vitamin deficiency the judges said the couple had failed to fulfill the duties as parents. the founder of apparently discharged his not her parental responsibility
9:16 pm
to the child by providing the necessities of life causing a danger of serious injury is undoubtedly very serious conduct particularly where the child is very young and he's unable to independently care for himself or herself at all one putting fact out of you that there is no greater responsibility and that by a parent to his or her child to care for the child to nurture the child and protect the child from any harm or injury caring for the go was caring for a very young baby she couldn't sit up she couldn't speak any words she couldn't feed herself hold a bottle she couldn't play with to spend the day in her court running back and forth she couldn't roll over all the way. the case has raised the question of whether it is appropriate to use vegan diets for small children despite protests some experts including those in the american academy of pediatrics think it is acceptable and can be good for children however not all of them agree with not
9:17 pm
everyone agrees on that we discuss the issue which you deem more she's a registered dietitian and nutritionist and patrick holden the founding director of the sustainable food trust the contact between healthy as it is now with our health service is quite poor. and children aren't seen nearly as regularly or as often as they used to be say 10 or 15 years ago and i think that's one of the problems that houses the sisters just can't keep or keep an eye on the on the number of children that they've got in that case we need to keep a vigilant. probably the best reason is all misguidedly feeding their children healthy diets it's possible to keep the child healthy balance they do need supplements you can't just rely on if you can diet yes we need to eat less we don't give up together the right kind of meat and that's good for your health even if you do all that and you help and somebody helps you plan that very well you're
9:18 pm
channeling grow to their height. genetically potential height because we believe that milk protein and meat protein also are trying to an important factor in growth probably very challenging if you have to be an expert in this to get it right and i would. have to it's not necessary to be quite so extreme as i have seen several reagan parents who come to me and say they want to bring up their child the gun and once we talk it through and i explain the implications of it and how careful right to be in the planning of the john most of them decide against it but i would say that most of them that i've seen recently a while later the last 2 or 3 years and not getting the going because of their environmental concerns. there's a lot of worry at the moment about what a dart that is correct for addressing climate change and all the other problems we're facing but we would argue that it is possible to eat sustainably to include
9:19 pm
a whole range of sustainably produced livestock robots in the dark without feeling at all guilty about it and probably your ready children would be better off with a void of a good diet for very young children and let the children decide when they're old enough maybe after their great spirit is finished with a form of reagan national not and in the mean time allow them to eat a full of diet full of all the. food groups we can address climate change but he she will sustainably we can also go to records. in australia a former defense lawyer faces jail over the leak of controversial afghan files he appeared in the supreme court on thursday for preliminary hearings david pride released classified material in 2017 alleging australian troops committed war crimes in afghanistan he was charged with breaching the country's defense act and is expected to face trial next year he claims it was his duty to the australian people to make the documents public. i've got
9:20 pm
a few tricks up my sleeve it's worth having a go i might fail but i'll be happy in jail if i've tried among the incidents reported in the so-called afghan files where the killing of a civilian man and his son during a raid where was alleged they were shot by mistake in another case an afghan this any was shot dead while he was alone with an australian soldier david mcbride claims that before leaking the information to the media he tried to bring it to the attention of officials but his efforts were in vain we discuss the issue with former cia officer turned whistleblower john kerry acker. it's so typical it's so common in places like the united states the u.k. australia really the 5 eyes countries to attack the whistleblower rather than to address the crime and to to punish those who committed the crime there ought to be hard and fast whistleblower protection laws there are in many countries there is not in in australia but there really need to be legal protections so people can can
9:21 pm
go confidently to their supervisors or to their legislature or even to the media to report crimes in this case i think that that the australian soldiers involved were probably i'm not even sure how to say it but sucked into the same kind of of wartime situation that so many americans have been sucked into you think that you can get away with things you think that they are crimes and eventually there's going to be a whistleblower you know there's there's an old saying that the truth always comes out and i think that that is the case it was the case here it's been the case the united states whether it's cia or n.s.a. or f.b.i. the truth always comes out and so if you don't want trouble just do the right thing . the german captain of a mike of rescue boats in the mediterranean has snapped a brain drain water from france she accuses paris of hypocrisy given his treatment

9:24 pm
a bid to limit new arrivals that law double to 90 days the time in which illegal immigrants could be detained it shortened deadlines for asylum applications and made illegal crossing of borders as in offense with a jail time of up to a year but is false really in a position to sort out the problem itself it's been trying with germany to find consensus across the entire you for a solution to the crisis on that level brussels is slamming italy and eastern european countries for shutting their doors to migrants very people critical were. doing i don't know what went into the mind. of mine because you see of course they don't welcome you. here and you can see the people sleeping in just. to go with respect to eat it because it is good. most of the mines and friends

9:26 pm
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy one sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race in. spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. why a paradise with a round turned into a round the experimentation field but 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 one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government
9:27 pm
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. well the redacted tonight i'm late camp as you can tell we aren't taping with a live audience this week instead we thought we'd bring you a little best of redacted tonight 29 team don't worry we'll be back with a brand new show next week but without further delay here are some of our greatest
9:28 pm
hits from this year enjoy. yes let's start off tonight with a topic some of you might not have heard of but i think it's important it's called if i'm pronouncing this correctly racism. and if you live in my home state of virginia it is all the rage right now right i mean that's to call her right apparently if you're an elected official in virginia hating black people is the new black it is hot. and some forms of racism are easy to say such as. but although you know luckily though they did cover up some of it with the sheet but. other racism systemic racism is not as obvious and a lot of people try to claim it no longer exists elegance gone one of my systemic racism black panther was the most popular movie avner therefore racism over
9:29 pm
well i want to show you 3 recent studies that prove just how over systemic racism is let's start with schools all right slightly important couple of weeks ago as new education reform found overwhelmingly white school districts received 23000000000 dollars more than predominately non white school districts in state and local funding in 2016 despite serving roughly the same number of children i mean the kids of the wider schools are doing their homework on a mac books a lot is supplied by the school while the don white school kids are doing their homework on a big mac. you know that today kids the science class will be dissecting the double quarter pounder with cheese because the stay won't supply us with enough progress. this is when the liberals 6 say that's because we have a racist president who hates funding the education of people of color actually that 23000000000 number is from 2016 while obama was still in office but that can't be i
9:30 pm
thought obama ended all racial inequality. they brought people i love and took the pops to the world you know not exactly your only 2 words off though obama ended all reporting on racial inequality you see the difference i just stop talking about systemic racism against black hispanic and indigenous people exist no matter who's in the white house let's move on to climate change right there can't possibly be racial disparity there hurricanes don't exactly only hit black people twelfth's a new investigation found is that white communities nationwide have disproportionately received more federal buyouts after a disaster than communities of color you see one of the things fema does is they buy a dam a.
