because there's always a small. really good. profit. in this story the week the united states could potentially be smuggling weapons. with militants in the middle east that's according to leaked documents obtained by gary an investigative journalist. had a baby right there. that . they are. the british prime minister's turbulent week boris johnson suffers defeat after a defeat and so were his no deal breaks of agenda in parliament. prime minister should simply follow his convictions on the resign. does it mean that already did

she keep it i could see. it's a cynical movement from a cynical prime minister. a prisoner swap between russia and ukraine is hailed by the country's leaders also a vital step in restoring. with the top stories from the past 7 days on right to the moment of elements as well welcome to the weekly on our. millions of weapons made in serbia reportedly fallen into the. state fighters in yemen and syria after they were purchased by the united states and allies it's what documents seen by a both kerry and investigative journalist have highlighted. this is not a murphy received

a blow to the command of our i am here with the land not. actively and that you have that. tracking oh go a away that you are broke and that there is combat i was able to id by 100 people that lot of life in the land of the theory and their propaganda video even man well let's go through some of the claims washington allegedly purchase weapons from 2 serbian state owned arms companies are partly for the police in afghanistan but those on this were then seen in this law make state propaganda video showing militants in yemen numbers on a mortar shell they refer to a lot is 0 for the year of production 2018 the leak shows that the box in question was part of a deal between the serbian states arms manufacturer crew sick and

a pentagon contractor and these photos show some of the serbian made weapons and ammunition produced by the same companies this time though in syria the 2nd part of the reports we brought you means that weapons procured by washington they've also been ending up in the hands of rebels and terrorists there to the accusations mind arty's. has been taking 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 and the 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 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. very sorry for you you probably need these things. you know are they still think. these are me. like you like. using different places after the websites like this that people like from

finding information because they are all oh you think they like this game if you think different and much like birthing their weapons by their proud. this nation would 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. answer you are and that i'm of the united states and i think that our. government officials and proud that there is this is the fact that the order of the america. and laying around. organized there are. less than a year on the 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. the pentagon and crew sic are yet to give us a comment on the allegations we have being getting reaction including from former british army officer charles hsu bridge who believes 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 at the travis 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 that genuine these documents are indeed as dionne of herself suggests they are indeed explosive in a revelation so 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 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. in a rare interview since resigning in january former u.s. defense secretary jim mudd dog mothers couldn't resist touching upon the russian meddling issue we're going to have to recognize they mucked around our election and we're going to have to deal with the putin that is not the putin we wanted. well the deeley beast news website also published an article arguing the into russian interference doesn't just mean russia but rather goes way back in history our senior correspondent murat goes the year of wines the clock back now into the mists of time there are a few legends as obscure and my idea is this what seems leaders the freemasons u.f.o.'s the loch ness monster and big foot there is russian meddling and with

every retelling someone nods and the little twist i mean who is going to disprove them the russians have been attacking us for 100 years but moscow mich still doesn't get it now it's the daily beast turns out russian meddling is ancient lenin who already targeted western capitalism and specifically britain for a long term campaign of infiltration and subversion you scared yet well you better be lenin himself was a bit of a medlar says the daily beast though they do say a lot of things but with every telling as i said a little something gets added in this case another 50 years to russian election meddling plus the 50 years that mr secretary of state pompei you added when it was his. of course i'm the one before that and the one before that i hope i didn't

stop at 2008 you can go back to the seventy's. i decided to investigate these claims unfortunately they wouldn't let me play spooky music didn't take long though to discover how old this meddling was literally here is russian octopus depicted in 2018 its tentacles reach far far back into the past same octopus seen in the 1950s who were incidents i think not it's the same one cited again in 1900 how many russian octopuses do you know there's only one and we'd never have known if not for british imperial propaganda no matter how deeply buried the truth is out there and the new york city of forgotten passageways where the monk covered more evidence of

russian meddling that you know the russians interfered in the us civil war sent warships to support the north abraham lincoln sue effectively did they meddle with the americans actually welcome those warships potentially the russians not only lost the election for hillary clinton but the war for the confederate states now this is the part where the spooky music would have been really good founding fathers were infiltrated and recruited by what would all wouldn't become the k.g.b. benjamin franklin himself 789 was elected to the russian academy of sciences for his quote scientific contributions others say he passed on early manuscripts of the us constitution as russian handlers the proof is in your wallet look at his face on the 100 dollar bill it doesn't smile and it's well known that

russians. never smiled it was difficult but we tracked it back a 1000 years we found russian meddling before russia even existed. anyway millennium ago the ruler of kievan roost married his daughter to the french king and surprisingly the king died very soon and she ruled fronts for decades a 1000 years of russian medlin proved beyond doubt back to you daily beast at sea which you can dig up about jesus christ and his ties to the k.g.b. . britain's new prime minister is sticking with his do or die strategy to take the u.k. out of the european union on thursday boris johnson emphasized his reluctance to extend rights that. i'd rather be dead in a ditch. close a 1000000000 pounds

a month it achieves absolutely nothing earth is the point of no further i think it's totally totally pointless. the bill designed to block of the u.k. leaving the block without a deal was passed by both the house of commons on the house of lords the legislation requires the prime minister to us the e.u. for another extension if a deal is not agreed in parliament by the 19th of october mr johnston also feel this week to force a snap general election because he lacked a majority in the house m.p.'s will vote once again on monday on whether to hold a national poll or not additionally this month or us children exposed $21.00 m.p.'s from the conservative party after they rebelled against him and voted in favor of legislation to block a no deal bring to the list include several former cabinet members tory grundy's including winston churchill's grandson circulus soames throughout the week

parliament frequently erupted in anger over the course breaks it was taking the prime minister is acting like a dictator the public simply shapes it paid. what is going on in this place the prime minister should simply follow his convictions on the resign. there's only one really did she keep good i could see him besides i think it's a cynical movement from a cynical prime minister so water lies ahead for breaks in the u.k. politics let's take a look boris yeltsin might get the snap election but he's also already under pressure to quit as prime minister all their options are to get a deal done with the e.u. before the deadline on the 31st of october or delay it once again to january next year louis stedman bryce breaks a party m.e.p. for scotland shared his thoughts on what's happening. we find ourselves in

a situation where parliament is no longer serving the people of the united kingdom parliament is serving parliament think it's about time they started to be honest it's not about stopping america it's about stopping any type of brakes it so these people are hell bent on frustrating this process for as long as possible until bracks that fatigue is so strong that we kind of just give up on this but you know in the united kingdom 17400000 people 5 voted for this and it's time to enact democracy it needs to happen that of course tara corbin is very reluctant now after several years of calling for. an election now he doesn't want one but but that's possibly because we can see from the polls that they wouldn't fare very well in a general election i would like to see be able to take control of this process and move forward with this but my fear is that the parliament will continue to work against him they will hand over control to europe. ahead in the program months of talks pay off funds russia and ukraine trade prisoners and take

a vital step that restoring relations between the $2.00 countries we look back after the break. the world is driven by shaped by one person if there is. no day or thinks. we dare to ask. compared to centuries of chinese history 2 years is nothing unless budgets 2 years

of donald trump with yet another round of terrorists being added to the us trade war this last week news china's strategy of waiting out the enemy likely to work with the current american president. a look at the ongoing. protests in hong kong are into a 14th straight weekend turn violent earlier this sunday police used tear gas against the demonstrators who were seen appealing to the u.s. president. both.

i. was. watching protesters gather near the united states consulate with a message for donald trump waving american flags and shouting slogans in english like resist beijing liberate kong they called on u.s. lawmakers to pass a bill protecting hong kong's democratic freedoms on human rights smoke could be seen billowing out of a subway station some saying fires were lit there are protesters barricaded roads and clash with the police while police rearrested leaving pro-democracy activists just one for breaching his field conditions earlier but the bill a protester calling for is making its way through the u.s. congress introduced back in june it would require a new all checks on hong kong's autonomy status and if passed could see chinese on hong kong officials hit with sanctions if they undermine the region's autonomy or

human rights u.s. lawmakers have the scribe it as a commitment to democracy. in u.s. congress we look forward to swiftly advancing the bipartisan hong kong human rights and democracy act to reaffirm the u.s. commitment to democracy human rights and the rule of law and of peace of beijing's crackdown. some in the u.s. are still so obstinately sticking to the wrong course they threaten to push the relevant hong kong related legislation wantonly criticized hong kong affairs and grossly interfered in china's internal affairs once again i advise certain u.s. politicians to immediately stop pushing hong kong related legislation cease interfering in hong kong affairs at once and make efforts to enhance mutual trust and cooperation between china and the u.s. hong kong based investigative journalist under of all czech thinks the protesters are already receiving help from washington. actually the protesters doing all it's probably expect any kind of help from the united states no united states is not

going out of course on the troops or do anything. to help them out however there are counting fully on the. media and propaganda support from us through the united states. the market assist so-called democracy movement that's. or hearing about this law that surely about a democratically dosa anyone who is against them is being either intimidated or ducked china is. keeping cool it is so far between the home grown. loyal foresman and the local protestors but how long the situation can last a don't go with those entire cities not allies stations are being destroyed and the main avenues absolutely dropped from the test of the sit in.

a highly anticipated prisoner swap between russia and ukraine took place on saturday with each returning 35 people the 2 countries' leaders spoke by phone saying the move will help to normalize relations towards solving the civil conflict in eastern ukraine among the newly freed prisoners that touched on in moscow was russian journalist grill the shin ski he had been jailed since $28.00 deen on treason charges and is accused of backing the breakaway self-proclaimed republics in the east of ukraine. firmly denies all the charges insisting that he was targeted for something to his job as a journalist. meantime president zelinsky welcome to 35 returning ukrainian prisoners as their plane landed in kiev some of their relatives were there to meet them to the trade involved 24 ukrainian sailors see. as for violating the maritime border with russia ukrainian film director here soft convicted of plotting

terrorist acts in crimea. well the exchange has rekindled hope of a solution can be found to settle a long running ukrainian crisis. we see the agreed mutual release of people detained in russia and ukraine as a positive signal which could see another important step to breaking the deadlock in the current russian ukrainian relations russia and ukraine just what large numbers of prisoners very good news perhaps the 1st giant step to peace congratulations to both countries are ukrainian president vala dimmers alinsky and russian president vladimir putin have done everything we have promised and did not change our agreements. pretty. easy to get your ship but this is the 1st time for about 5 more than 5 years close in 6 years that russian ukrainian region and i think that could be seen as a positive i mean obviously decision answers been made at the highest level between the 2. the new president there in ukraine. and the president in russia

so it seems that the 2 presidents are decided upon it's a very high profile prisoner swap is really well received by france and germany in particular who were you know emanuel my corn and anglo-american have been talking about trying to get the peace talks we started this month i mean they basically they fell apart in the poroshenko years i mean part of it was simply didn't want to couldn't or didn't have the mandation internally in ukraine it wasn't strong enough but he definitely was unable to move the peace talks along so i need body that wants to see peace between in eastern ukraine and normalization of relations between russia and ukraine after this you know 5 and a half years of of a bio and hostility and it's just long interregnum period where there's been no progress whatsoever will be like should of course. yeah that was some of the stories that ship the week here on r.t.e. international you go to r t dot com for plenty more insight on all that but next

here on the program china its history and its taurus the skies next on worlds apart down by excel is here right now. make this manufacture consent to stick to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round listen to the one percent so. we can all middle of the room sick. to lose.

oh and welcome to worlds apart with a centuries long chinese history 2 years is nothing unless perhaps it's 2 years of donald trump but the up in the south of terrorists being added to the u.s. side the trade war this past week is the chinese strategy waving the adamy out likely to work in the case of the current american president to discuss that i'm now joined by odds are in the west that professor of human. syria global affairs at yale university professor west that it's good to talk to you thank you very much for taking time to talk to us it's a great pleasure to meet you now i know that you've long been preoccupied with

china's relationship with the world a few years back you had the grade book on the twists and turns of chinese history over the last 250 years placed on that he story canvas how big of a new sense is the trump presidency to china is that just a bump in the road or is it something that may indeed change the trajectory of this great nation is a little bit like what premier joe in law used to say about the french revolution it's much too early to tell i think it is a severe challenge in many ways to what is happening in china at the moment but if you compare it to the media of parts to a century of wars and civil wars and invasions i don't think most chinese would see this as a major challenge that one of the most quoted chinese philosophers in the west this sounds who who is sad that if you see it by the river long enough you will eventually see the bodies of your enemies floating by do you think that's what the

chinese are trying to do with donald trump to some extent i think that's what they're trying to do doe i think the current leadership in beijing is aware that they don't have endless amounts of time and they have to look after their own economy 1st and foremost on it there is no doubt that what is happening now is very damaging to the chinese economy mainly for the reason that it comes together with the slowing for other reasons that had already been taken place before the trade wars with you know it's begun so i think what they're trying to do at the moment is to wait and to see and to get better conditions in terms of some kind of deal with you know the states but there is no doubt in my mind that they all seeking such a deal that's what they want to achieve i'm not sure if. has had a chance to read sounds so but i think he also tends to believe that the chinese opera have. playing the waiting game with him in fact just this past week on twitter he warned them against waiting for a new administration off to 2020 perhaps because he wants to stay in the white

house but even if he has to leave do you think things will average go back where they used to be trade wise between the united states and china no i don't think they will i don't think they will go back to where they were trade wise i don't think they will go back to where they were security wise i think on the whole of specter of us china relations there has been a profound change and only a post of art house to do with donald trump and his tariffs it also has to do with china's policy within the eastern nation region i do has to do with developments inside you not to states. at the basis of this whole development in my view is 1st and foremost the fact that the world is moving from having been off to the end of the cold war predominantly unicode meeting dominated by you know the states and towards a much more multi-polar system in which china is.
