news live from moscow this is r.t. international i'm calling you with your headline news this hour the big story or across this hour a trove of leaked documents of seemingly expose the united states as a major supplier of illegal weapons a journalist claims america's been buying millions of serbian munitions which have ended up in terrorist hands across the middle east washington allegedly purchased weapons from. companies apparently for the police in afghanistan but those arms were then the scene in an islamic state propaganda video showing militants in yemen you can watch a full report on that on you tube channel and these photos show some of the serbian made weapons and ammunition produced by the same companies we've mentioned this time in syria the 2nd part of the report claims the weapons procured by washington have also been ending up in the hands of rebels and terrorists there too and as the accusations. of texas. 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 sick 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 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 the banker gone so far there are

private american companies or your company is. very far off to you from bikini if they feel so you know are they still think. these are me. like you like. using different place after the website it's like this that people are like you problem finding information because they are all using the things like numbers they like the scheme if you think you. and you might like their berthing their weapons buy up their proud. nation with syria or yak to americans these 2 they even visited crusade to troubleshoot any potential insurgence on behalf of the seller i also can't buy

for that you are and that i'm of the some of the united states the european that are in what is not is a government officials and proud that there is this is the serbia back in the order they were led by. and later going around. organizing their ship much 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 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. from the company that you go just mentioned we contacted the pentagon and the crew said company for comment we'll bring you those when they come in meantime former british army officer cellist super edge 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 showed them as not genuine if they're genuine these documents are indeed as dillion 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 that was launched by the us was run by many years by them 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 where 5 key leaders took to the stage earlier of blood of all stock 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 correspondent nina cotton of a went through the line up and key moments with me a little earlier. well some of the biggest players from asia are present at the forum now i'm talking about the had japan which is actually a long known ally of the u.s. then fast developing and malaysia now they've taking on some of the world's most pressing sticking points and especially the possibility of another arms race now that has become rather sounds as if after the u.s. quite abruptly withdrew from the i.m.f. treaty now the russian president said that after his recent talks with donald trump the u.s. has so far shown no interest and solving this matter what you can only. serious challenges facing humanity imagine if the someone maybe a nuclear bomb over. i'm but this could drastically change the security

situation across the globe are all american partners keep silent when we suggest continuing to negotiate to some moment there's nothing new in that. well the u.s. continues to justify its military build up with the fact that russia has modern weaponry and here the russian president during his talks with his counterparts suggested a solution. but i still don't know do you want us to sell you those weapons they are saying 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. also our discussion was the fate of iran's nuclear deal now japanese prime minister shinzo abbé said that he actually feels sorie that the situation remains and dad logon actually quite recently it has now he spoke of his recent visit to iran and called to normalize the situation but

he sees it only via 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 lie they know what the mood at the forum was rather pleasant the indian prime minister narendra modi referenced a well known russian author left all story now he said that both gandhi untold story left quite a heritage so he is now hopeful that both countries will leave even a better impact on the future of japanese prime minister shinzo abbey followed the example set by indian counterpart he quoted a famous russian point and later he also took a page out of russian literature using

a proverb to describe his relationship with the russian president. the audience might not know that the summit meeting we've just had was our 27th meeting ladies and. it's important for you to know that president putin and i have had so many means together time and time again that one might say we even keel lives of soul together so from the outside it's been quite a fruitful forum for the leaders as they look to tackle our global stand ups and really bring relationships close in together. on the sidelines of economic forum in front of all stalky malaysian prime minister has again criticized the ongoing investigation into the downing of flight m.h. 17 saying the probe will remain biased unless more countries are involved all 298 people on board that plane died when it crashed in eastern ukraine and 2014 it was bound for malaysia from the netherlands when it was shot down. the 1st 3. to lead the nation of. that on the

side of the people. who. we cause of this. so their views may not be. fair and neutral we need to have a neutral investigate we shouldn't get. him . that's for them to decide. what really happened but when you have the countries that suffered because of the. bound to be a little bit bias 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 and

a separate experiment looking at how the plane might have been brought down a russian air defense company concluded that the missile could not have been fired from the breach and alleged in the report results were ignored by the joint investigation team the malaysian p.m.'s expressed his anger before over his country not being fully included in the investigation he now says he cannot accept the claims that russia 5 the missile because the evidence is simply not right. the truth but. the plea. is difficult for us to accept but the lead i didn't know the people who julie. and somewhat they findings me it did not sound to me and many people are being quite right. the un is urging international players in the yemeni civil war

to stand up and take action it's one of our stories still ahead after the break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic to follow can only. exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down. you know world of big partisan movies 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 smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past

each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. welcome back a wave of deadly attacks and looting in south africa has sparked a boycott against the country led by celebrities across the african continent the violence has targeted migrants who have flocked to one of africa's most developed nations on this now let's go live to johannesburg and. get this spate of violence.

well essentially what happened is that last week in the capital city petrolia they were reports of a south african taxi driver and literally killed by a nigerian drug dealer in compassion a group of south african taxi drivers took to the streets but very often but very soon the protests actually sprayed much further and they started targeting all foreign is in south africa and you said we had protests happening here in johannesburg and at the same tis the result has been 4 days of bloody violence that has seen hundreds of people being lifted destitute foreign owned businesses being targeted and lucid police being brought in and being forced to use white control measures such as tear gas and rubber bullets and police figures giving suggesting to us that at least $300.00 people have been arrested and 7 people have been killed now there's also been a spike in online fake news where there are messages being sprayed full foreign those to be very afraid and leave the country we are involved in verifying some of this fake news and

a lot of it is not even related to the south african violence but shows bodies being burned people jumping from buildings and all of this part of this campaign that really being here in south africa shows you that foreigners are feeling terribly terribly frightened the south african president made this appeal. now i'd like to condemn the violence that has been spreading out around number of provinces in our country in the strongest is. now of course it also has implications for the relationship between the south africa and other countries particularly nigeria which was the the nationality of the alleged txi protests of the of the alleged nigerian techs and drug dealers in the 1st place. received sickening and depressing news of continued burning and looting of nigerian shops and premises in south africa by mindless criminals with an. protection enough is enough to take definitive measures paula generally

how frequent hours on a phobic attacks in south africa. well the last time we saw attacks like this was back in 2008 so the situation has been relatively calm since then but this is a country where the official i mean pointing figures instead at 29 percent and so you have a situation where many people feel that government is not delivering and certainly not delivering in at 18 poverty and so they turning their anger instead of against the government against foreign is the last official census down here in 2011 put the number of foreigners at 2000000 but other reports suggest it's closer to around 5000000 out of a population of 56000000 not be talking throughout the course of the day to a lot of foreigners they are very very frightened they many of them have permission to work in this country legally and they feel that the government should be doing more to alleviate their concerns. in johannesburg thanks for updating

us on that. the united nations has once again raised concerns over the humanitarian crisis in yemen where the conflicts been raging for 5 years the organization called out the international community for it in action branding the situation in yemen a collective failure the people of the video are about to show you does contain distressing scenes the u.n. says that the civil war has left tens of thousands of people dead and many more injured over 700 children have died from landmines alone since 201324 1000000 yemenis are in urgent need of assistance to survive as the country struggles with famine and numerous outbreaks of cholera a crew from our sister channel r.t. arabic visited an orphanage in the capital sanaa. had a legacy i was playing all the. were grazing i heard

a bomb explode and so shrapnel flying in all directions some towards me and then stumbling i ran for home only to find out that my family had been killed my mother and father my brothers and sisters they were all. with us now because of the war the number of all friends has risen so much that the orphanages can't house them it's bleak for this children many of whom have to leave right from the streets. but there are countries which the u.n. sees as specifically responsible for the crisis in yemen and the new reported pointedly branches the united states britain and france for supplying arms to parties involved in the conflict and urges them to stop those sales 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 united states is by far the main 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 you saw a little earlier charles garraway he told me that 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 alms to yemen that is pulling in the conflict the un report also calls into question the findings of saudi arabia's joint incidents assessment team body claims to investigate violations by the coalition then you have and with transparency and impartiality but charles garraway told me that the groups 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 could use 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 so that is what we have tried to do but the difficulty with examining conduct to

post them to us is it's easy to look upwards from the result but the result will tell you very little would even tell you what the intended target was and what we need and what the world news is access to the targeted persons so that we can find out what is good because something clearly is. across the counter joslyn for nomination ahead of the u.s. presidential election next year but it seems the party's thin on the ground ahead of the 3rd round debates with only 3 hopefuls set to take the stage of some speculation over the lack of numbers with 2 antiwar candidate marianne williamson removed from the debate lineup after they criticized the pentagon's budget more on that now from kind of more open. 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 harness 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. now she has criticized u.s. foreign policy and particularly the pentagon with nearly $740000000000.00 military by. but only $40000000000.00 proposed for the state department budget our outsize commitment to brute force and never with him in commitment to so forces of 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 lead 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 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 methods and i've never given that method when you see false pretenses though u.s. officials determined that aside did use these chemical weapons against his own people and used to inform me here that about iraq unwritten rules are becoming ever more clear for the democrats step outside of that pro-war box and you're labeled a crank no matter how much the public likes you. r.t. new york one of the world's leading thinkers outlines the challenges of all times next 30 minutes from them chomsky on the way after that so have your next altie of for moscow. when lawmakers manufacture consent to the instant of public wealth. when the

population and it's organized labor it's also a barrier to corporate tyranny so it's the one barrier to this vicious cycle going on which does lead to corporate tyranny. for a major reason for the concentrated on us fanatic attack on unions and organized labor as they are a democratizing force. to provide a barrier that defends workers' rights but also popular rights generally. and if that interferes with the prerogatives our of those who own and manage in society.
