10:02 pm
. they hear it in their stuff again the video c.n.n. those documents prove to be genuine then the weapon seen on the islamic state video in yemen could well be serbian made after being sold to u.s. military contractors senior correspondent jeff explains how the weapons could have ended up in terrorist hands. it's a remarkable trail from the arms factories of europe for the hands of isis terrorists in yemen in the span of barely a year we knew this courtesy of concerned citizens who leaked the e-mails the memos the contracts between the u.s. its contractors and weapons manufacturers and the g. harvests gave it away propaganda real from isis showed in their position 82 millimeter mortar shells which the reporter was able to identify for 18 read the numbers deciphered as production lot for manufactured in 2018
10:03 pm
k.v. stands for the arms factory v. for value of a place in serbia where the arms factory is and thanks to those leaked documents it appears the us military purchased a lot for from cruising military factory last year then it was a matter of following the paper trail how those shells were brought transported mog for the afghan army and ended up with isis in yemen report to the discovered all this is certain in her findings. now when. the. where. there are the claims you've made damaging of course is true for the us government that based on these documents that you got hold of how hard was it to get them and how certain are you that they are genuine. i was
10:04 pm
there i have had from the beginning. i don't know or the people or of the were some. where or was at that very thankful to them because. they are thank you in the shipping government. and on the labor. market or show this there is the name of the company. there are you have government or birth of birth the weapon on behalf of the arm and there is also the shipping of that so it's not a 0 to. save his life he back to the us government also there is indication that information about the us thank you know that we. were insured the documents speak for
10:05 pm
themselves the arms factory made the shelves alien tech systems and contractor for the pentagon purchased $10500.00 of them for $8000000.00 it was transported to bug area coincidentally it was isis fighters were also holding a bulgarian made sold rifles next shipment was flume via silk way west lives and is it by johnny airline licensed to transport weapons for the pentagon to us bases next thing we know within the year shells are in isis is arsenal you need question all of this is how and who handed over those arms to extremists bear in mind that the just isis that we've seen in possession of munitions made in but also. the way in syria various other jihad scoops. remarkable coincidence for them to accidentally stumbled upon all of these
10:06 pm
weapons reportedly paid for by u.s. taxpayers now we've sent many many requests for comment the pentagon to its contractors involved in all of this the airlines the basis but so far nothing former u.k. army officer charles troubridge gave us isn't science and how weapons end up in the hands of terrorists persist myself and not just me many people since 2011 and before when this was being muted as we can supply we were told to moderate rebels as they were caught in the libya or syria with weaponry that would help overthrow gadhafi or for example assad it was obvious to those of us who've got really any military backgrounds are told that it would be impossible to control where those weapons would end up and indeed much research a lot of academics and so on has proved this to be the case again and again either
10:07 pm
moderate rebels so-called selling or handing over these weapons to these groups all of these groups can capture them in the field if they have battles or or disputes themselves of course it could have been and i don't think this is necessarily the stuff of conspiracy theories it could have been so obvious of course that this would happen that it would end the weapons would end up in the hands of these extremist groups that that was the intention right from the start these are all possibilities. the british parliament has rejected a request from bryant mr boies johnson to hold an early general election that's after lawmakers voted to take control of the commons agenda and passed a bill to prevent a no deal breaker only reports now from london. the prime minister last night had lost that vote whereby m.p.'s took control of the legislative agenda and so today what they did was introduce legislation that would seek to frustrate a no deal drags it which many m.p.'s and in fact many economists feel would be
10:08 pm
devastating to the u.k. so this morning and throughout the day m.p.'s have been debating and voting and finally passing this bill along to the house of lords which would essentially once it gets approval become law and stop and no deal brigs it from taking place also pushing back greg's day from its current october 31st deadline in response to that . try to introduce or did introduce a motion calling for an early snap general election to clear the mess and to try to see who the country wanted to go forward with negotiations with the e.u. in order to do that he needed to get 2 thirds of m.p.'s on his side however the labor party abstained from that so mr johnson while he won the vote he didn't meet the 2 thirds threshold and essentially the labor party led by jeremy corbyn saying that this is not the time to be voting on whether or not to hold
10:09 pm
a general election because the priority should be getting this legislation finalized and ratified and stopping and though jill brags that in this according also speaking in the house today said that once all of that has been sorted out then tension could possibly turn to a future general election in any case it's been a bad day for boris johnson and he still faces the prospect of being one of if not the shorter serving prime minister in living memory. the president of iran has announced plans to accelerate the country's nuclear activities it will be the country's 3rd step in scaling back its commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal and some rouhani made the announcement ahead of a weekend deadline for european powers to help bypass u.s. sanctions on iran's oil trade. i know that we will take the 3rd step and we will announce it in 2 or 3 days in my view this 3rd step is the most important that we are taking its impact will be really amazing we will give the e.u.
10:10 pm
2 more months while we are taking this 3rd step to get back to the negotiating table. of the so-called 3rd step means iran will lift all limits on nuclear research and start developing centrifuges to speed up the enrichment of uranium iran has been raising the pressure on europe job hold its obligations under the 2 $1015.00 nuclear deal since the us pulled out in may this year well affairs analyst patrick henningsen believes that iran's at negotiating tactics good actually succeed. iran is playing a very shrewd negotiations game they're sort of taking a page out of donald trump's art of the deal they're trying to basically dictate the pace of negotiations in this case or events as well they're dealing with 2 main parties which is the european signatories to the j c.p.o. way and then are also indirectly dealing with the united states this is designed
10:11 pm
clearly to apply pressure on europe and in effect indirect pressure on washington so trying to really putting direct pressure on washington obviously isn't going to work washington will escalate its threats and so forth so iran is seen this as a possible solution to its problem to break the impasse on the deal that the u.s. walked away from by putting in direct pressure on the other p 5 plus one countries that maybe they can do something to remedy iran which is going through a severe financial crisis right now as a result of a whole raft of sanctions being placed on it after the united states walked away from a deal that it agreed as a partner to when it walked away in may of 22 in. a u.n. report has accused the u.s. britain and france of being complicit in war crimes in yemen the report highlighted
10:12 pm
the role of arms sales to the saudi led coalition. there are certain states who are well know the to be supplying weapons that includes united states it includes united kingdom at it includes from ths to name buck 3 the group of experts has recommended that 3rd states prohibit the authorization of our country arms transfers and refrain from providing arms to parties to the conflict this is because of the prevailing risk that such arms will be used by parties to commit or facilitate serious violations of international humanitarian and human rights lol the u.s. is the the main arm supplier to saudi arabia or followed by britain and france between 2015 min 2018 washington sold weapons worth around 10000000000 dollars to the saudis the u.k. and france at trailed far behind with $2100000000.00 and $500000000.00 respectively one of the authors of the latest u.n.
10:13 pm
report trolls garraway told us you continuing floor of arms in to yemen is perpetuating the war this is a collective failure of the international community as a whole and it is the responsibility of the international community as a whole and inevitably those people who supply all of us have a greater influence on the parties and therefore have a perhaps a greater responsibility to take action to try to prevent violations there is no doubt that it is the continuation of the supply of arms to yemen that is prolonging the conflict the un report also called into question the findings of saudi arabia's joint incidence assessment team this body set up by riyadh claims to investigate violations by the coalition in yemen with transparency and impartiality charles garraway once again told us that the groups in alice's is actually superficial. the trouble is the coalition has not been cooperating with us and therefore we have very little information apart from what is in the public domain the press releases
10:14 pm
of the joint incident an assessment team produce are comparatively bland and so far as we can see they do not carry out a sufficient legal analysis what is needed is an independent and impartial assessment so this is what we have tried to do but the difficulty with examining conduct of postal teams is it's easy to look upwards from the result but the result will tell you very little it won't even tell you what the intended target was and what we need and what the world needs is access to the targeting process so that we can find out what is going wrong because something clearly is more than 5 years since the start of the war in yemen and bearing the brunt of the conflict our children a crew from our sister channel r.t. arabic visited an orphanage in the country's capital.
10:15 pm
i was playing while our ships were grazing i heard a bomb explode and so shrapnel flying on to actually some towards me and then stumbling around only to find out that my family had been killed my mother and father my brothers and sisters they were all down. at the time because of the war the number of all friends has freeze and so much that but often it just can't house them it's bleak for this children many of whom have to leave right from the streets. still to come in the program american film stars are rubbing on colleagues who support donald trump that story is after a short break this is our 2 international.
10:16 pm
good politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be preached. to the right to be close this is what the 43 of them all can't be good. interested always in the water out. there should. seem wrong. just don't all. get to shape out just being educated and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. she still looks for common ground.
10:17 pm
or welcome back this is international some big name american actors are coming under fire for suggesting that a guest list for a trump fundraising event could be used as a guide for who never to work with critics and see the blacklist suggestion as a dangerous move. listen when i asked times people did this have people ended up killing themselves yeah this is not a good idea ok listen you are all you were for you joe want to work with is your personal business the prevailing voices in hollywood consider themselves to be woke progressive's extolling values of tolerance and liberalism but not so much tolerance when it comes to conservatives actors debra messing and eric mccormack
10:18 pm
are calling for the list of attendees at double trump's recent beverly hills fundraiser to be made public because apparently celebrities should not be able to support the president please print a list of all attendees the public has a very to know haiti a charmed kindly reporter never won the tending this event so the rest of us can be clear about who we don't want to work with blanks conservatives are calling it totalitarian liberalism i don't blame you i understand i wish i could denounce trump as i was offered quite a bit in return and it would make my life easier but i have refused to do so as i believe he is great for on nation and people you are entitled to your beliefs let others have their they're pushing the case that falls apart from the sheer weight of his lunacy is low very hollywood community needs to be purged of this social and intellectual hygiene problem called conservative thinking but to be fair if people
10:19 pm
are taking a political stand going to a fundraiser shouldn't they be public about it aren't political donations a matter of public record well if you only would stars have found out that leaning the right word is pretty bad for their career james woods was declared to be a racist when it became clear that he supported donald trump furthermore stacey dash who is a mexican was declared to be racist when it turned out that she was a fan of the donald what's the nastiest thing someone in hollywood has said to you about your politics everybody tells me i'm racist i'm a black mexican it's absolute white cursing people have actually. he said to me you're not black enough is the same mysterious having white people with ugly sweaters and christmas and grandma drunken i'd knock the snow white people and now they say black people have to think at speak and they can certain way in order to be black enough hollywood conservatives routinely conceal their views fearing it could be a career killer to not follow the party line interestingly susan sarandon the leftist actress has also become the target of a lot of hate not for being
10:20 pm
a conservative but for being a hardcore bernie crabbe who refuses to march in lockstep behind the d.m. see if you don't go to that liberal fundraiser if you're not a big girl now you're not in that era. you're not in the club and you're not being hired i mean it's a very lonely existence out there but it's a toxic environment and they they that is they react this really to the fact that you don't agree with them and i like being with conservatives. there's a whole bunch of them that. people don't really. give in to give a lot of attention to it's old news that hollywood leans towards the dems during the 2017 midterm elections more than $4000000.00 was donated by top hollywood exacts and stars now 99.7 percent of that money actually went toward the democrats that's according to hollywood reporter that cites the official results and statistics from the federal elections commission and hollywood's top $100.00 list
10:21 pm
only 3 have donated to republicans and during the 2016 elections 90 percent of hollywood's donations went to hillary clinton they even made an amusing ad only way we could prove that used by having lots of famous people lots of famous people lots and lots of famous people just a ton of famous people repeating how important poor and important or important how important it is. how we would has even threatened to take action against those who don't adhere to their liberal values remember george's anti abortion law well there was a call for. a boycott of the state we cannot in good conscience continue to recommend on industry remain in georgia if h.p. 481 becomes law the movie world has always pushed back against traditional values however it also glamorizes well and the american dream values that are very important to american conservatives now hollywood is one of america's most powerful institutions and there is no question that it is not acting when it comes to its feelings about the donald the more you hate the more creative you hate especially
10:22 pm
in hollywood the more you. achieve and seek favor of your fellow hollywood types who in their right mind in hollywood at whatever want anybody to know that they're exercising their 1st amendment right to support a candidate sometimes people really do care necessarily for trump as much as they do consider this to be a good business move there are people who contribute to democratic causes republican and the like but it's a it's a it's a super side packed for you to openly in the hollywood or among certain areas new york as well where i am in silicon valley for you to even suggest that you support. some of asia's biggest economies are getting together and russia's far east for the eastern economic forum on wednesday president putin met with the
10:23 pm
indian prime minister in vladivostok to sign 25 trade deals that we are trying to go following events for us. you countries clearly understand nala days we need a multi-polar to achieve peace and stability and all cooperation is very important to achieve this it's already become somewhat a tradition day one here in vladivostok at the eastern economic forum is usually when vladimir putin and his most important guests spend most of their time together getting involved in all kinds of activities and this year the number one guest at the forum is the indian prime minister and the run from modi so on wednesday it all began with the leaders met shook their hands and straight away boarded a motor boat to go to another town where there was a shipyard and that's a very special one because that was the location where

a submarine intended for the indian navy was once modernized so that was something that around remote he really wanted to see and then eventually he said that he was deeply touched by the hospitality of the russian leader there was a funny moment when the 2 actually wanted to step on board the the motorboats but they couldn't decide who to lead to go 1st when mr modi and mr putin came back to this island the island of bruschi they went straight to business and more than 2 dozen agreements were signed as the indian delegation was meant by a team of russian ministers i saw the actual policy holders with the signatures and of the assistant from the indian embassy she was actually having a hard time taking all the folders away and here were talking about all kinds of cooperation from sending indian auster das to space in the future to joint efforts
