the united states could potentially be smuggling tons of weapons and ammunition to militants in syria according to leaked documents obtained by paul guerin journalists. they may have region house keat is from a shell on the 2nd day of the eastern economic forum and lot of thoughts about with the iran nuclear deal and all these rights high on the agenda. and the un report highlights the role of the us britain and france and that human rights violations committed in yet. there are certain. all well known to be supplying weapons that includes united states and includes united kingdom and

if you treat us from st louis about 3. 8 o'clock here in moscow and you're watching r.t. international live from austin today with mean it in the teeth into the plan. a trove of leaked documents have seemingly exposed the u.s. as a major supplier of illegal weapons beaucaire in genesis claims america has been buying millions of serbian munitions which have ended up in terrorist hands across the middle east washington and allegedly purchased weapons from 2 serbian state owned arms companies apparently for the police in afghanistan but those arms with an seen in the islamic state propaganda video showing militants in yemen you can watch all report on not in full on our youtube channel. and these photos show some of the serbian made weapons and ammunition produced by the same companies we 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 interests and as the accusations mount are to take 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 solved government 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 and a labrat 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 of they wanted to finish the transaction is 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 purposes 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 the military or to you from bikini if they use you know are they still think. these are military like you like. using different places after the website it's like this particular like you problem finding information because they are 00 using the things like numbers anyway the scheme is using different routes and you might like the berthing the weapons by there are proud to. be

syria or react to americans these 2 they even visited crusade to troubleshoot any potential insurgents on behalf of the seller i also can't buy for that you are and that government official some of the united states the european the methods that are in what they got on the shelves and proud of that there is this is the serbia back in the or the letterbox and. and laying around. organizing their ship much 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 the 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 apart from the company igor just mentioned we contacted the pentagon and the cruise a company to comment on the bring those when they come in in the meantime former british army super it says there is 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 she had to try to 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 give in to people so far showed them as not genuine if the chair near in these documents are indeed as dion has self suggest 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 sycamores 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 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.

stock on day 2 of the eastern economic forum russian president vladimir putin was joined for discussions by the indian japanese animation and i'm going to need this on how to move forward on trade technology and the environment and everything global minute. reporting from for him his. that was quite a company in that room the leader of the 2nd most populous country in this world and as we began to realize in the last few years a staunch ally of russia up in the plus the leader of japan an ally of the u.s. in the 1st place but as she puts it himself a great friend of the russian president vladimir putin's. and finally the heads of 2 asian mongolia and malaysia a lot was said about what's left of global security now that the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty is gone because the u.s.

administration thought that was the way to go in the 21st century mr putin said that he believes the world will have plenty of reasons to worry about after all a potential new arms race is a very big deal which was in the recent was there a serious challenges facing humanity imagine if the some weapon maybe a nuclear one in orbit over our heads i'm very this could drastically change the security situation across the globe and all american partners keep silent when we suggest continuing to negotiate some moments there's nothing new in that another key message from the russian president was that moscow will keep up with all the missile r. and d. that the west will get itself involved in but when it comes to the deployment that won't happen on the part of russia when it comes to the weapons previously outlawed

by the i.n.f. treaty until america starts taking the boxes on their deployment plans no matter how difficult and serious this issue is though vladimir putin decided it's worth adding a bit of humor and jokingly suggested that america should waste money if it can buy some of the arms technology from russia. but i told donald 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 they spend the money if we have already spent it wouldn't breach of security but would help to create balance. another landmark international agreement that is now in real jeopardy because of the new diplomatic methods of the us administration is a so-called away and nuclear deal while judging by what the japanese prime minister said at the plenary session donald trump and shinzo abhi aren't on the same page in

this regard despite being allies. 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 believe it or not before shaking hands and vladivostok mr putin and mr abbay met $26.00 times before and the japanese leader was keen to point that out once again after all they don't call each other great friends for nothing and he even entertain the audience with his knowledge of a russian prover that suggests that you have to eat a lot of salt together to become real friends. the audience here might not know that the summit meeting we've just had was our 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 even keel lives of soul together

it was clear that the prime ministers of india and japan wanted to be good guests and show a bit of admiration for the country that they're visiting and that's when the names of russian pole would send riders started coming up and even quotes around remote indian prime minister even compared to the russian writer leo tolstoy with someone who is known as the father of the nation and in the mahatma gandhi so it's this kind of warmth respect and the desire to hear each other's opinions that is form and vladivostok will be real. for on the sidelines of the economic forum in light of all stock the malaysian prime minister has again criticised 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 died when their plane crashed in eastern ukraine in 2014 it was

bound for malaysia from the netherlands when it was shot down the dutch led joint investigation team blamed on russian backed rebels in eastern ukraine a preliminary report claims the rebels used a russian made book missile system moscow has repeatedly said that that particular system in question was left in ukraine after the breakup of the soviet union in a separate experiments looking at how the plane was brought down a russian advents company concluded that the missile could not of been fired from the region and lodged in the report those results were ignored by the joint investigative tool. r.t. has spoken to the malaysian foreign minister who told us why his country was so concerned from the very start of the investigation. i think the concern that. used to gauge. we didn't really become you know off to you but not just each day it was one of the reason why we have

a lot of concern. the idea reason nice when. some people will very quick in making accusations to get should we're still going on already there were. some quote. to accuse a particular country happens to be russia. i'm not seeing the da da is not doing its work but as i have said earlier it is premature and i don't think it is so right to make accusation specific accusations to if particular country all a group of people coming out and once again raises concern over the humanitarian crisis in war torn yemen and points the finger of blame for much of the suffering what sadly we hear they think is responsible after this break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on offer and spearing dramatic development

only engage and i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. welcome back to the program the un has once again raised concerns over the humanitarian crisis in yemen where the conflict has been raging for 5 years the organization called on the international community for its inaction branding the situation in yemen a collective failure please be warned that the following video contains distressing scenes the un says the civil war has left tens of thousands of people dead and many more injured over 700 children have died from land mines alone since 201324 1000000 yemenis are in urgent need of assistance to survive as the country struggles with famine and cholera outbreaks a crew from our sister channel r.t.

arabic visited an orphanage in the capital sana'a. had a legacy i was playing all hour she were crazy i heard a bomb explode and saw 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. 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 live rough on the streets. but there are countries which the u.n. says is specifically responsible for the crisis in yemen

a new report appointed mentions the united states britain and france for supplying arms to parties involved in the conflict and urges them to stop the sales there are certain states who are well known to be supplying weapons that includes 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 officer or take serious violations of international humanitarian and human rights law. u.s. is in the main arms supplier to arabia followed by britain and france between 20152018 washington sold weapons worth around $10000000000.00 to the scientists in france trailed far behind with 2 point one $1000000000.00 and $500000000.00

respectively one of the authors of the 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 inevitably those people who supply will 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. the conflict. here report also calls into question the findings of science is joint incidents assessment team the body claims to investigate violations by the coalition in yemen with transparency and impartiality charles caraway again told us that the group's analysts this is superficial. the trouble is the coalition has not been cooperating

with us the verbal we have very little information apart from what is in the public domain the press releases of the joint incident the assessment team we 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 to force them to us 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 the world needs is access to the targeting persons so that we can find out what is going wrong because something clearly is. now a wave of deadly attacks and looting in south africa has sparked a boycott against a country that by celebrities across the continent the violence has targeted migrants from other african countries who flock to one of the continent's most

developed nations pulis live reports from johannesburg. south africa's still reeling after 4 days of bloody violence have resulted in some 7 people being killed those are figures we've received from the police and some 300 people being arrested the violence was triggered last week in the country's capital pretoria when a south african taxi driver was elated to have been killed by a nigerian drug dealer now as part of a protest against a south african taxi drivers took to the streets before he soon that protest evolved into a demonstration against all foreigners and spray to add the same to around the country and the result has been violence hundreds of foreigners have been days to toot after the businesses were attacked the police were forced to use white controlled mazes such as tear gas and rubber bullets and the situation is still rather and stable now because of the nationality. that alleged drug dealer being

nigerian a lot of the focus has actually been on nigerians now south africa has temporarily closed its diplomatic missions in a blue shirt and lagos in nigeria for fear of reprisals against it stop south african businesses and also close their doors temporarily in nigeria and the south african foreign minister has said that this is an embarrassment for south africa and she has expressed her great for all violence against foreigners nigeria has pulled out of the african economic summit being held in south africa and the nigerian foreign minister has also expressed concern. and depressing news of continued burning and looting of nigerian shops and premises in south africa by mindless criminals with an effect of police protection enough is enough to make definitive measures the last time they was in a phobia outbreak like this in south africa was back in 2008 but this is a country where you have an unemployment of 29 a saint which means a very often the distress of people who don't have jobs turns

against foreign is often instead of actually being directed against the government and its lack of delivery the 2011 same says is the last official census in terms of how many foreign is in this country in the pits the figure of $2000000.00 dead at the waist and it suggests the figure is closer to $5000000.00 out of a population of $56000000.00 who have the south african president has also expressed alarm over what is happening saying that there's no place for us in a phobia in south africa now i'd like to condemn the violence that has been spreading out around number of provinces in our country in the strongest. i've been talking to a lot of foreigners here in south africa who are very afraid of what is happening there is a lot of fake news that's been spreading on social media with pictures that are not actually even south african showing people being burned people jumping out of buildings with the caption foreign is it leaves south africa's so we're in the

process of verifying another the media along with the experts but the situation certainly is dire at the moment. back in around 30 minutes time with more updates so they stay with us. she stressed to make sure that the british edible a bunch of idiots will. stop the show so you'll see them taste the paste fisheries ok so i push caution. thought out which you don't have time and look what you've seen in the best future for a moment there for sure and. want to talk to you sort of you might your bonus for tribute. to mr hazlewood support i'm still looking to the spirit

welcome to the alec salmon sure what we move from the parliament tea party technics at westminster to the underlying economic conditions against twitch this trauma will be played i it last week alex ass to of the ucas most respected political commentators to forecast the lose i'm can to moves of the begs tears i'm to mean our is as palm it was you and thus far i pundit to prove to be spot on in their suggestions up an earthquake chain reaction to the prime minister's move to paroch parliament for much of next month i think if it looks as if the u.k. is heading for no deal will be an attempt for parliament to seize control of the

executive that attempt will succeed the speakable facilitate it i'm of majority will vote for it and then the will be legislation instructing the prime ministers to negotiate a 6 month extension i'm that too will get a majority in the house of commons if it looks as if no deal to stony of the route i think the logic of this situation where you have a minority prime minister drying to involves he's will work over a a parliament which does the graves of them the than that sure all the national outcome of that would be an election court challenge a street demonstrations opposition parties forced together to seize control of the parliament she or dippy perper tortie rebels n. peace crossing the floor of the house fits of diesel action un finally to the prime minister is bed to for a snout election the forecasts of our commentators were play don't and this week's

parliamentary exchanges me just bigger want here is recommending is yet more yet more did yet more give out yet more do they yet more on certainty for business what we in this government want to do is deliver on the mandate of the people now he used to be a democrat the used to believe in the up holding the referendum or doubt can he say now out whether he would vote fabre agreed to remain and can he say now whether he's in favor of a 2nd referendum or not. let me go over. the prime minister failed to answer my questions about food supply damage supplies and about the problems in hospitals he refuses to publish the yellow hammer documents and he talks about scaremongering where does the information come from other than his office in his government. this high political drama has the final chapter to come but today we turn to the economic backdrop against which this struggle will be played out alex

interviews professor david blanchflower on his view of a coming economic future we've been in a decade of very slow growth and the expectation is that we're going to see a 2nd decade because of the utter incompetence so go and read the great masters go and think about how the world works but i would say go back and read keynes and beverage but 1st of course your tweets messages and emails in response to last week's show julian says i'm quite sure that the will of the people is much bigger than the bricks support but the people never get the chance to vote about the other stuff therefore it's quite legitimate to ask if the breaks of what was the will of the people i don't question it is sell says julian louis says the relevant question though is how to scotland get out of this whole mess bearing in mind we didn't vote for bricks in the 1st place gordon says i nice balance from your 2 guests when they recognise that boris is most likely looking for a deal and not to.
