then i was in the. united states could potentially be smuggling tons of weapons and ammunition to syria according to leaked documents obtained by a. global politics to go. on the 2nd day of the. un report highlights the role of the united states britain france and human rights violations committed. to be supplied. that includes united states.

international they are 3 here in the russian capital with the headline news 1st off the big story we're covering this thursday a trove of leaked documents obtained by a bulgarian journalist and seemingly exposed the united states as a major supplier of illegal weapons with the uncorroborated paper suggesting millions of serbian weapons bought by america ended up in the hands of terrorists and rebels across the middle east if the leaks are confirmed the u.s. purchased weapons from 2 serbian state owned companies apparently for the police in afghanistan but those arms were then seen in an islamic state propaganda video showing fighters in yemen you can watch our report on that in full on our you tube channel and it seems that yemen isn't the only destination the 2nd part of the report and that is that washington is smuggling arms and ammunition from europe to syria as the accusation. 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 me de blowing hatred towards assad all these rebels i saw 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 sic was about to get paid because none of the companies that dealt 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 a tripartite 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. military far off from bikini if they feel so you know are they still think. these are military like you like. you think it's wrong place after the website it's like this that people are like you problem finding information because they are oh oh using the thing like number 8 like this game is using different and much like their berthing their weapons buy up their proud. nation with 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 but. you are

and the government that this is some of the united states the methods that are in what is not a government officials and private contractors this is the serbian back in the order they were led by. and later on. organized there are. less than a year on this same 2 men were awarded. 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 leave for human 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. it was apart from the company the eagle just mentioned we have contacted the pentagon and the crusade company for comment will bring you those when they come in meantime former british army officer charles shubert says there's no reason to doubt the authenticity of those leaked documents. it's an impressive piece of journalism by any standards i think to produce what share the traveler she's produced and apparently convincing evidence if these documents are 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 the chair near in these documents are indeed as dion herself suggests they are indeed explosive in their revelations

really what it shows is that 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 then a covert arming and training project for syria's rebels supposedly moderate rebels . but of course invariably many of these weapons ended up in the hands of what 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. to russia's far east next them where 5 key leaders took to the stage a little earlier and lot of also talk on day 2 of the eastern economic forum that russian president vladimir putin was joined for discussions by the indian japanese malaysian and mongolian leaders on how to move forward on trade technology the

environment and avoiding global military escalations a corresponding within a quarter of a listener across sal you get medina a lot discussed on the stage earlier this thursday what were the key takeaways well before we speak about the key takeaways let me just give you an example of who in terms. for the world leaders came to the 2nd day of the eastern economic forum now we're talking about some great powers of the asian economy a president at this particular event now in the hands of japan which is actually quite a long known ally of the u.s. a fast developing india quite developed very developed malaysia so the hands of these particular countries all came to the event and of course they discussed key global issues that are on everybody's mind in terms of global politics and especially here i'm talking about the possibility of another arms race now that was discussed in quite many details now this issue really has become rather sounds that

if after the u.s. quite abruptly withdrew from the treaty now speaking about this particular issue the russian president said that after his wrists and talks are where the american president donald trump now he believes that the u.s. shows no interest and solving this issue. what you should be you was only. serious challenges facing humanity imagine if there's some weapon maybe a nuclear weapon in orbit over our heads i'm very. drastically change the security situation across the globe. all americans must keep silent when we see just continuing to negotiate disarmament there's nothing new in that. now what's happening now is that the u.s. continues really to justify its military build up with the fact that russia has morden weaponry and here the russian president during his talks with donald trump

suggested quite a solution. but i still don't know do you want us to sell you those weapons they assume they will soon produce their own that might be so but then why would you spend the money if we have already spent it wouldn't breach of security but would help to create balance. now another key issue that was discussed was the fate of iran's nuclear deal now there was something another saying very important and many leaders spoke about it especially the japanese prime minister shinzo now he even said that he feels that the situation now remains and quite a deadlock and he said that recently the situation surrounding iran's nuclear deal has asked collated now he spoke about his wrists and visa versa to iran and called to normalize the situation but he said that the only possible way he sees that is

through negotiations. so. we have long told the u.s. we have our concern in iran and the nuclear deal i wish it would be resolved through negotiations i talked to the supreme leader and he said that iran isn't going to produce or use nuclear weapons he said it very clearly. now on a lighter note here it really seemed that every single world leader president of the forum seemed to be in a good mood because many jokes were made and they laughed a lot they shared a lot of laughs together let me give you some examples now indian prime minister in there and mahdi he even spoke of the russian well known author. saying that both gandhi and tolstoy left quite a heritage and there. he suggested to leave even better impacts from future relationships between russia and india now japanese prime minister also followed in the your footsteps of the indian prime minister he quoted

a famous poem of another russian author and also he even referred to an old russian proverb. the audience here might not know the summit meeting we've just had was over 27th meeting ladies and gentlemen it's important for you to know that president putin and i have had so many meals together time and time again that one might say we were even q moves of soul together so as you can see a lot was discussed starting from serious stuff to even jokes that were made well read stage. plenty of positive despite these troubled times over the course of a thank you very much for taking us through that plenary session earlier on the sidelines of the economic forum in blood of all stock the malaysian prime minister has again slammed the ongoing investigation into the downing of flight m.h. 17 over eastern ukraine and 2014 or 298 people on board the plane died it was heading from of the netherlands to malaysia when it was shot down by the pm says

the investigation will remain a biased unless more countries are involved. the 1st free. internet to lead the nation of. aids heavyweight that on the side of the people. who suffered because of this. so their views may not be. fair and neutral we need to have a new through the investigate we shouldn't get home many countries. for them to decide. what really happened by and when you have the countries that suffered because of the. home. bound to be a little bit biased of the dutch led joint investigation team blamed russian backed

rebels in eastern ukraine a preliminary report claims the rebels used a russian made book missile system moscow has repeatedly said that the particular system in question was left in ukraine after the breakup of the soviet union in a separate experiment a russian defense company recreated how flight m h 17 was shot down results from batiks parliament indicated that the missile could not have been fired from the region alleged in the report but results were ignored by the joint investigation team of the malaysian p.m.'s expressed anger before over his country not being fully included in the best occasion he's now said he can't accept the claims that russia fired the missile because the evidence is simply not right. at the truth but. they said that the claim is difficult for us to accept but the lead i did the people who purely. and. day find

me did not see. to me and many people as being quite right. all the way u.s. democratic presidential hopefuls looks thin on the ground for the 3rd round of debates with antiwar candidates criticized military spending dropped among all stories still ahead.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. let it be an arms race. dramatic. will be very critical. to sit. in. the united nations has once again raised concerns over the humanitarian crisis in yemen where the conflicts been raging for 5 years and

a video released by the organization it calls out the international community for its lack of action and brands yemen a collective failure please be aware that the following video we're about to show you does contain distressing scenes according to the u.n. the conflict has left tens of thousands dead and even more injured over 700 children have died from landmines alone since 203024 1000000 yemenis are in need of assistance to survive as the country struggles with famine and outbreaks of cholera a crew from our sister channel visited an orphanage in the capital. i don't know legace i was playing while i was schipperke racing ahead the bomb exploded and so shrapnel flying known 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 dad. at the time because of the war the number of all fronts has risen so much that the orphanage just can't house them it's bleak for this children many of whom have to leave russia from the streets. but there are countries who the un sees are specifically responsible for the crisis in yemen in a new report it slams america britain and france for selling arms to parties involved in the conflict and urges them to stop. 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 about 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 20152018 washington sold weapons worth around $10000000000.00 to the saudis the u.k. and france trailed far behind with $2100000000.00 and $500000000.00 respectively one of the authors of the latest u.n. report or you heard from just there charles garraway he told me that the continuing flow of arms into a given is perpetuating the wall 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 alms to yemen that is prolong

the conflict the u.n. report also calls into question the findings of saudi arabia's joint incidents assessment team this body it set up by riyadh claims to investigate violations by the coalition in yemen with what it describes as transparency and impartiality but charles garraway says the group's analysis is 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 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 system that is what we have tried to do but the difficulty with examining conduct a full still tease 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. with next year's u.s. presidential election looming the democrats seem to be a bit thin on the ground for upcoming debates only 3 candidates from the party have been put forward for a 3rd round later this month to antiwar candidates who criticized the country's q.j. military budget marianne williamson and tells you about were pushed off the debates by their own party as artie's kind of open explains. 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 us 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 with in 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 top poll 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 message and i've never given that method when you say false pretenses though u.s. officials determined that

a side did use these chemical weapons against his own people you say if i hear that about iraq right now it seems like the on written roles 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 fund the different conflicts the united states is in a president. ensures that contracts for munitions for uniforms with boots with planes with drones 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 who or do not oppose much of

a threat you know most of those showing the polls you know most political support behind them they don't want to give the national visibility at this point. ok that's your news for now more great altie programs on the way in your part of the world meantime check out the user that's on the go on your device your next level up that here is in just about half an hour to see that. centuries traced to. this or that the british and the bill of books had out into the world to. stop the show so here she didn't taste the paste fisheries ok so i pushed quite

a lot. to which she never mind i know what you. can understand future occurring in there for sure i. want to talk to you sort of through my if you're going to contribute. it's a mistake those are words that were. spilled over for this interview or do you believe that that it's a studio actually the person has to be vocal or should stop them spinning. expressed she. wouldn't make this manufacture consent to step into the public will. when the ruling class is one protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. of the night

we can all middle of the room signals. for the real news is real world. this is boom last broadcast around the globe and calling the world of business and finance and that's the policy all i'm doing a burrito and i'm the i am washington here's a look at what's on tap today we have a special shout today as we welcome. our panel featuring writer richard wolfe and peter schiff of euro pacific capital to get through it's a major story back in the world of finance. to take a look at global instability and how it's impacting both investor and consumer particularly on the doorstep of what could be the largest i.p.o. in history. and then in the 2nd half of the show we dig into the state of global

assume that this will end the protests the withdrawal met one of 5 demands made by the protesters and while this was viewed by some as an olive branch critics now say that lamb moves are not enough and insists that they will not settle for anything less than bowing to all 5 demands shortly after the withdrawal announcement the financial action task force an international body that excessive money laundering and fraud issued a report that cited the lack of a mechanism in hong kong to extradite suspects to other parts of china is an obstacle to tackling money laundering and terrorist financing it suggests that hong kong should look at other ways to improve its ability to cooperate with china as this was part of the loophole lam was concerned about earlier when the bill was temporarily suspended on the bill with raul lan emphasize that the move was a technical procedure to streamline the legislative agenda with the legislative council set to reopen in october after the summer break sources say that the full withdrawal was the easiest way to.
