when some find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. in the headlines this morning the united states could potentially be smuggling tons of weapons and ammunition to militants in syria according to leaked documents obtained by a bulgarian jail. for entering a new phase around though says it will set aside limits on nuclear research and development into the 2050 nuclear deal unless european states act to save the landmark record. of the british prime minister get a major blow as m.p.'s pass a bill to block a notable departure from the legislation that's expected to be made law on friday. the u.n. report highlights the potential role of the us britain and france and he would rights violations committed in yemen as the countries continue to sell off to saudi

arabia. thursday morning the 5th of september a good morning and welcome to the program just a day to him in a moscow time my name is kevin irwin here with the latest half hour with news update from r.t. international 1st that washington has seemingly caught red handed smuggling arms and ammunition from europe to syria according to a report by paul garrett investigative journalist based on a bunch of leaked files as the accusations mount then r.t.c. goes down off takes a closer look at the evidence. from the start of the war in syria anti-government factions have been enjoying well a gun before all inclusive some pieces fell into their hands as spoils of war where the others came from nobody knew it seemed until now because apart from a deep blowing hatred towards assad all these rebels eisel and self-governing

jihadists they could have another thing in common a big wealthy arms dealer lurking in the shadows. able gary an investigative journalist has claimed to have exposed an elaborate network of private american companies which have been buying weapons from serbian manufacturers and shipping them to the middle east the journalist managed to get through a labyrinth full of fake trails and dead ends designed specifically to cover the tracks to the network's command center the pentagon. in one instance an american company 04 industries used a british broker as its middleman to buy mortar shells from serbian manufacture acoustic and this e-mail says to learn or is a direct proof of that and it was business as usual up until the moment one crew

sick was about to get paid because none of the companies adult with wanted to wire the money instead they wanted to finish the transaction and through a nother 3rd party british company and this raised all sorts of red flags. bearing in mind that the payment will be affected by the company that is not the buyer according to our law and foreign exchange operations we will need the consent of the serbian government i.e. the ministry of finance in order to be able to apply at the ministry of finance we necessarily need to try a part time agreement verified and signed by the buyer sierra 4 industries the seller holding corp crew sick and the legal entity that will affect the payment charles kendall and partners limited. it was so suspicious the serbs even questioned if the final destination for the armaments would indeed

be the pre-agreed location which was no not the middle east but harmless innocent romania. the draft in jesus is to pick it states the following place of delivery. to china and a base rumania according to the above it should be clearly mentioned that the goods will be used in romania including the purpose of use and the goods will be shipped to romania they weren't used in romania it seems once the money was finally wired of washington's memory was void clean instead the ammunition was flown to qatar and ended up in syria according to the journalist that they have gone so far there are private american companies or your company is. very far off from bikini if they feel so you know are they still think. these are me. like you like. using different

place after the websites like this that people love like you problem finding information because they are all oh you seem to think they are a like the scheme if you think different and much like birthing their weapons via their proud. nation would be syria or react to americans these 2 they even visited crusade to troubleshoot any potential insurgence on behalf of the seller i also can't buy or i am you are and that are most of the united states the european that are in what is not a government itself and proud that there is this is the fear of the fact that the order of the america. and laying around. organized there

a few less than a year on this same 2 men were awarded for. arming rebels in syria. the little affair with the serbs was far from a one night stand type of deal for the u.s. they shipped tens of thousands of munitions into syria drowning the country in arms for years we've worked to stop the civil war in syria and all the levy fuel and suffering we wanted to reach out to syria for industries remember the american company that initiated the deal with the serbs and imagine our surprise when we found out that the company barely even exists it has no listed phone number no email and just 5 yes 12345 employees not exactly a shock. and it goes down off reporting there were telegrams the pentagon for

comment we'll bring you that comment when we get it meantime former u.k. army officer joe shubert gave his insights on how weapons could potentially end up in syria. it's an impressive piece of journalism by any standards i think to produce what share the travis she's produced and apparently convincing evidence if the stock commit such genuine and so far at least there's been no indication whatsoever despite the opportunity to given to people so far to show them as not genuine if they're genuine these documents are indeed as i tell ya herself suggests they are indeed explosive in their revelations really what it shows is long after we all know of course or many of us know about this operation timber sycamore busy that was launched by the us was run by many years by them. arming and training project for syria's rebels supposedly moderate rebels. but of course

invariably many of these weapons and it up in the hands of even the us deems terrorists in syria that was all supposedly ended in 2017 when it was finally disclosed that it's actually publicly acknowledged that it existed and so now we've got evidence quite clear evidence if the documentation is true and again there's nothing to indicate that it's not that actually this program in another form has continued. world news live from moscow next to writers to accelerate its nuclear activities in a 3rd step in scaling back commitments agreed on to that landmark 2050 nuclear deal but all that we will take the 3rd step and we will announce it in 2 or 3 days in my view this is the most important that we are taking its impact will be really amazing we will give the e.u. 2 more months while we are taking this step to get back to the negotiating table. comes out of a weekend deadline for european powers to help by pass u.s. sanctions on iran's oil trade the so-called 3rd step means around will lift all the

limits on its nuclear research and development iran's been raising pressure on europe to uphold its obligations under the 2050 nuclear deal since the u.s. pulled out last may global affairs analyst patrick henningsen spoke to us about this it believed to rounds tactics could 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 clearly to apply pressure on europe and in effect in direct 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 and. that focus on britain a brag a dail to head off a no deal breck's it's quickly moving to become a lawyer in the u.k. as m.p.'s pos the proposed legislation is happening all of the night it's expected to return to the house of commons on friday for final amendments and that looks to be it the for the prime minister's breck's it plans that as it stands at the moment

sounds good tale i watched it all unfold. it's been a tough 48 hours for new prime minister forrest of the joints and why not only does parliament not back him on his breakfast strategy he's also failed in his bit to get a general election something that he was the only option left at this stage are those boards and election the public don't go into an election the country doesn't want to lecture but this was you know other than getting the public decide who they want as prime minister and i commend this motion to their hearts but in a damning defeat for the prime minister the motion on a general election was voted down by a whopping 242 votes which means he didn't even reach the threshold for the number of votes needed he was of course hoping that he would triumph in the polls and so go with a fresh mandate to brussels and negotiate

a new deal with the european union it would of course also have given him the opportunity to bulldoze through any of parliament's objections in the future while he had to alter the opposition's jeremy quite been hard for 2 years been saying that he welcomed the idea of taking on the conservatives at the polls when it came to the crunch the labor party said that it would only do so once the no deal option was completely taken off the table this of course tops off a very dramatic day in british politics because m.p.'s voted in favor of an antique no deal breck's it nor which proposes it be delayed for a full time until january 2020 having passed through the commons with a majority of 28 votes this of course was the bits of blow for johnson who write off to herring the results are warned of the implications bill good to be in the

negotiation a bill that demands an extension at least until. next year perhaps for many more years to come in to build insists britain acquiesce to the demands of brussels and control to our partners it's a bill designed to overturn the biggest democratic vote in our history to try to seek to bring in the meantime there's unfortunately more politics more uncertainty and more frustration both inside the walls of westminster and on the streets of the u.k. . the un's accused america britain france of being complicit in war crimes in yemen her report from the organization highlighted the role of arms sales to the saudi led coalition that there are certain states who are well known to be supplying weapons that includes the united states it includes the united kingdom and it includes france to name but 3 the group of experts has recommended that 3rd

states prohibit the authorization of armed track 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 law the us is the main arms supplier to saudi arabia followed by britain and france between 201518 washington sold weapons worth around $10000000000.00 to the saudis the u.k. and france trailed behind with 2100000050 $1000000.00 respectively or the authors of this latest u.n. report charles garraway told us the continuing flow of arms into 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 arms 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 incidents assessment team body set up by riyadh claims to investigate violations by the coalition in yemen with transparency and impartiality as carry away again though told us the group's analysis is superficial he says 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 that the joint incident an assessment team could use 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 that 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 more worldly is access to the targeting persons so that we can find out what is going wrong because something clearly is more than 5 years now since the start of the war in yemen children are bearing the brunt of the conflict crew from our sister channel r.t. arabic visited one orphanage in the country's capital sanaa. believe. the legacy i was playing while i was super great seeing her the bomb exploded and so shrapnel flying in the interactions 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 old.

at the time because of the war the number of all friends has friesen so much that the old from the just can't house them it's bleak for this children many of whom have to leave right from the streets. to come here on the program a small man with me kevin know him including democratic presidential hopefuls looking fin on the ground for the 3rd round of the base with antiwar kind of it's a criticize military spending drop they're out more after this break. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and sure. some want to be.

that you'd like to be close that's what the $43.00 of the more people get. interested at all is that the lawyers are. there certainly. seems wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out just to get educated and it gets right because the trail. when something find themselves worlds apart. choose to look for common ground.

hey there good morning thanks for watching out international for this thursday refusing to run the world my name is kevin now in the next presidential election looming in the u.s. and 2020 the democrats seem to be a bit thin on the ground for those upcoming debates only 3 candidates from the party been put forward for a 3rd round later this month too and he was candidates who criticized the country's huge military budget marianne williamson until together but were pushed off the debates by their own party. mopin reports. among the 2020 candidates vying for the democratic nomination is self-help guru marianne williamson she's one of the most googled candidates and known for her oddly spiritual approach i'm going to her love a false god this dark psychic force she's certainly trying to grab the attention of certain voters but it may surprise you that she actually has a strong appeal among a broad selection of rank and file liberals we don't have a health care system in the united we have a sickness care system in the united states this is part of the dark underbelly

over here. now she has criticized u.s. foreign policy and particularly the pentagon with nearly $740000000000.00 military budget but only $40000000000.00 proposed for the state department budget our outsize commitment to brute force and never withering commitment to so forces up this well no limelight for her she has been pushed off the stage of the upcoming debates along with antiwar candidate tulsa gabbert all thanks to the new rules of the d.n.c. there is a well strategized effort to smear me there is no doubt about that there are some very powerful forces that want to make sure i'm not in the 3rd debate so i must be doing something right if they work so hard to create that in this crowded campaign the antiwar democratic candidates seem to stand out however it's those centrist pro-war hawkish democrats that get all the spotlight take

a recent poll from amman and a plus pollster in the united states now the results from this polling agency actually showed bernie sanders in the leaves ahead of joe biden but inconvenient poll results like that just end up getting shunned he's clear that the moment university poll published on mondays and i understood when we released up all the picture it paints a diversion from us and the media has a role in helping the d.n.c. to they target those who don't fit in with the establishment narrative they pull out the label gun. marianne williamson well she's a faith healer who doesn't believe in vaccines gabbert she's a pal of bashar al assad bernie sanders well he's just a silly old man who can't really be taken seriously he took on the bag but the bag clobbered him isn't that not a good message i think that would be a not good method and i've never given that method when you say false pretenses though u.s. officials determined that aside d.d. use these chemical weapons against his own people use if i hear that about iraq it

seems like the on written rules for the democrats are becoming all the more obvious step outside of that pro-war box and you are labeled a clank no matter how much the public likes you the democratic party run by the democratic national committee have a vested interest in keeping this nation the war they want to fund the pentagon war machine they want to from the different come flukes the united states is in a prison. ensures that contracts for munitions for uniforms with boots with planes with brooms and said so to continue so you have a strong own vested interest in maintaining the current military conflicts the united states currently in so they would like to get rid of the different candidates or do not pose much of

a threat you know most of us showing the polls you know most political support behind them they don't want to give the national visibility at this point. 23 past the hour if you know what she was smiling know next to united states the ambassador to mexico is facing a backlash over comments about a mexican national hero cristobal and those sworn in last month lashed out at frida kahlo are now owned painter of mexico who died in 954 slamming her passion for marxism leninism and stalin this. i don't think my ethnic background should be the only factor to consider that when my work is being received and reviewed and the past 10 years that i have been living in bed when i have either been subjected to racism or been treated at the next arctic object and this is affected me and others in my position in the ways we can see this perform and create i also often feel like a lawsuit that was the wrong clip was made that's going to come up next our next story let's tell you about the iranian academic that now lives in germany has

spoken out against the racism of bias she says she's experienced in the institutions where she's studying sort of. the lady you just saw says she's being made to focus on topics related to a cultural background instead of those she's interested in right this if we get this bit right. i don't think my ethnic background should be the only factor to consider that when my work is being received and reviewed in the past 10 years that i've been living in berlin i have either been subjected to racism or been treated at the next arctic object and this is affected me and others in my position in the ways we can see is performing creates i also often feel like a puppet expected to create a certain form of knowledge and my choices i feel are limited to either play the iranian woman card and enjoy the privileges and the attention that comes with it or subvert this approach and create my own which as you can imagine is very challenging. normally many of my concerns are formed around

my political identity and i think that's a privilege that up but it becomes problematic when i am expected to work on a certain topic because of my political identity because i look in a certain way because i'm a brown iranian woman that i have to work with these subjects. only get the attention if i do what if they expect that from me and is not only working with those subjects it's working in a certain way it's just reproducing the same kind of image that already exists in the media. so it could be a. visualization of poverty oppression or like oh look how old they look like i was looking face showing the other modern side of those countries and i find that a bit problematic. royalist for the story corps bring in just now the united states

ambassador to mexico facing a backlash over comments about a mexican national hero because to learn there's a ghost name is sworn in last month he lashed out at frida kahlo or known painter in mexico who died back in 154 slamming a passion for marxism leninism and stalin this. feminist icon political activist considered one of mexico's greatest art. for human behavior and spirits and she rightly became an icon of mexico around the whole world what i do not understand is how obvious passion for marxism leninism installing is and the should not know about the horrors committed in the name of that ideology.

in the name of fighting that ideology the us kill children in vietnam by bombing their entire villages and supporting dictatorships throughout latin america how many deaths have been caused by yankee interventions look at iraq afghanistan grenada vietnam korea hiroshima nagasaki operation condor or the spanish-american war and we're not even talking about the extermination of native americans or slavery. that's a news program for so much more of course online i don't call this thursday morning thanks for watching this. very day. with manufactured. public wealth. when the

ruling classes project themselves. larry go around. 6. 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 i'll send this dramatic development is only going to cease i don't see how that strategy will be successful in that a critical time time to sit down and talk.

greetings and salutations with the paranoia kohls of election meddling by way of fake news ludicrous social media memes and armies of click bot still being fanned here in washington d.c. and throughout the corporate mainstream media it should come as no surprise that now the u.s. military is being brought into the mix on august 23rd the defense advanced research projects agency or darpa announced to the world that it will be starting the semantic forensics program or some of for to quote darpa they will develop technologies to automatically detect attribute and characterize falsified multi modal media assets to defend against large scale automated this information

attacks basically they're going to spake news and military jargon yes darpa the defense agency that brought us those wonderful nightmare and boosting running and jumping robots were. drone videos and who can forget the laser guided bullets that is now getting into the business of combating fake news naturally those most afraid of fake news the ones who have worked hand in hand with u.s. intelligence agencies to spread the paranoia over it the us corporate news media they are the most excited about this move by darpa bloomberg writes that if successful this system after 4 years of trials may expand to detect malicious intent and prevent viral fake news from polarizing society conveniently forgetting that there is never actually ben any evidence that viral fake news stories have polarized.
