in the week's big stories the united states could potentially be smuggling tons of weapons and ammunition which end up with militants in the middle east as according to leaked documents obtained by a boat carrying investigative journalist. i didn't write and i'm very glad you. don't think they are thank you. british prime minister a turbulent week boris johnson suffers defeat off the defeated but if no deal brings its agenda in parliament. prime minister should simply follow his convictions on a resigned. doesn't mean. that i can see because i think

it's a signal movement from a city called prime minister and the us president cancelled so-called secret peace talks with the afghan leader and officials from the taliban as the militant group warns that it will be america that suffers most. of the negotiations. it's that we hear on all t. international with meaning all round up of top stories from the last 7 days and all the latest up to thank yous and welcome to the program. millions of weapons made in serbia have reportedly fallen into the hands of islamic state fight in yemen and syria after they were purchased by the united states and allies is what documents seem viable garion incest to get his journalist highlighted. this is an anonymous it was see a blog document about. serbia

not actively and the u.s. soccer mom tracking oh. that's war or so on the contrary i was able to id if i want to speak a lot lot of life in the language they would. stop again the video. washington allegedly purchased weapons from 2 serbian state owned companies apparently for police use in afghanistan but those arms were then seen in an islamic state propaganda video showing militants in yemen numbers on a mortar shell there seemingly refer to a shipment 04 and the year of production 2018 the leak shows that the batch in question it was part of a deal between the serbian state arms manufacturer critic and a pentagon contractor and these photos show some of these serbian made weapons and ammunition produced by the same companies this time in syria the 2nd part of the

report we just saw claims that weapons procured by washington have also been ending up in the hands of rebels and terrorists there too as the accusations mount r.t.e. kosher dialogue 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. 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 are the soul and solve government jihadists they could have another thing in common a big wealthy arms dealer lurking in the shadows. a bulgarian 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 it's middleman to buy mortar shells from serbian manufacture acoustic and this email says a learner 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 verse 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 for 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 the military part of the from bikini if they feel so you know are they still think. these are military like you like. using different places after the website it's like this that people are like you problem finding information because they are oh oh you think the things i remember anyway the scheme is using different and much like the berthing the weapons by their proud. 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 but. you are and that government that this is some of the united states the methods that are in what they got on the shelves and private contractors this is the serbia back in the or the letterbox and. and laying around. organizing their ship much 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 leading 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 of panic and uncritical yet to give us a comment on the allegations. britain's prime minister is sticking with his do or die strategy to take the u.k. out of the e.u. opinion on thursday or as johnson and society's reluctance to extend it. course a 1000000000 times a month absolutely nothing. is the point of. delivery i think it's

a totally pointless. bill designed to stop the u.k. leaving the block without a deal as passed by both the house of commons and the house of lords the legislation requires the prime minister to ask the e.u. for another extension if a deal is not agreed in parliament by the 19th of october mr johnson also failed this week to force a snap general election because he lacked a majority in the house and he said will vote once again on monday on whether to hold a national poll or not additionally this month the prime minister expelled $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 bragg's it the list includes several former cabinet members and tory grandees including winston churchill's grandson nicholas soames throughout the week parliament frequently erupted in anger over the course brags it was taking. try a minister is acting like

a dictator the public simply shape see. what is going on in this place the prime minister should simply follow his convictions on the resign. there's only one car in a cage that i can see this time i think it's a city girl movement from a city called prime minister so what lies ahead for briggs it and u.k. politics let's take a look but as jonathan might get election but he still so already under pressure to quit as prime minister other options are to get a deal done with the before the deadline on the 31st of october or delayed once again to january next year we starting price breaks at party and 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 their doing it is about stopping any talk of bricks so these people i hope on frustrate in 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 voted for this it's time to enact democracy it needs to happen now of course jeremy corbin is very reluctant now after several years of calling for. an election now he doesn't want one but that's possibly because we can see from the polls that they wouldn't fare very well in the general election i would like to see course 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 your. present time council sunday secret peace talks with taliban in the us after the group admitted carrying out thursday's explosion in the afghan capital in which an american soldier was killed . they admitted to an attack in kabul that killed one of our great great soldiers and 11 other people if they cannot agree to

a ceasefire during these very important peace talks then they probably don't have the power to negotiate a meaningful agreement anyway the u.s. and the taliban have been in negotiations for months with the militant group demanding the withdrawal of all foreign troops from afghanistan and america wants guarantees about the country's security a draft accord it was read to last a week however its future is now in question. the taliban didn't take well to the talks being cancelled warning that the decision will lead to even more u.s. losses affect the country's credibility and exposed its stance despite the threat the taliban attained its committed to the path of negotiations well again demanding the withdrawal of foreign troops here's some of their reaction we got our 2 terms decision from people in afghanistan. that the outside of the heart because one of their soldiers is presumably their general was killed in a suicide attack abdul haq square he called off the peace talks while so many afghan army forces and civilians are killed on

a daily basis they do not think about that. since the peace talks began the suicide bombings and attacks have increased in our people have been killed and they had accepted peace they should have announced a cease fire and then the talks you know moved forward. live and therefore commentator abdel bari atwan and the thanks for coming on to the program now. the media calling on donald trump's decision to be unexpected considering the death toll over 18 years of conflict does the president's decision risk more lives and more years of war. what i'm really surprised i cannot accept that the reason you can still be secret summit in camp david that one american soldier definitely there are other reasons but look i mention it could you are to call it. president i said of the only old block understand to

come to camp david in that secret talks it means that the deal will not actually achieve still there are a lot you'll differences between the 2 sides i mean the american side and. so the. president there are actually realized that he was backed by all of our net. actually we'll see only old american. you know. american mom to stop hold the rights to actually read a good share of the part of. government so it seems that kind of runs to the point this isn't. realized this is the is not going to work at all yeah but they're still you know saying that it kind of they're implying that it could work just you know they're just using this. recent death as a reason to cancel the talks as they were meant to go on but if we look at the

situation in hand would you say that it could almost be expected that the taliban would be targeting the u.s. consulate in the country and surely it could have been many more deaths. baseness the there was a strong. and tension from taleban to continual feisty american troops in afghanistan and told us to. improve. negotiate the position on the table so that says that he's them it seems also they're happy with the deal of cells that have been points in this deal which is not satisfactory to the whole of on themselves and the same time president president ones did this deal to be signed and old just to boost his position on the presidential election so every side would like to impose his will to improve. his position new shifting

position so that's why i believe the whole thing collapsed i believe that talabani will imagine i went out and these kind of. american presidents why he wants a secret deal you know that the meeting in camp david would be actually to celebrate the deal not to postpone all to cancel negotiations so i believe they did you know with sentencing which we don't understand until this moment but i believe business is this president is this best for this deal he committed himself and his election campaign that we were told that american troops from better times about 40000 of them. until now he wanted these troops to be pulled out before they entered elections and stellar bond realized this kind of desperation from the american side from the president's side so that's why actually trying to

improve their position on milk loan concessions from the american administration these kind of tactics tells us we look you know over 18 years of this conflict now and we say. in so many different types of rhetoric coming out of the us and and the countries who thing seen as peacekeepers within that conflict they were that they've said that they wouldn't negotiate but the terrace they they claim that the the whole conflict that there are end of it had been a success they've had 9 rounds of negotiations this time why do you think president trunk things he can be successful where they have quite obviously being unsuccessful over the years well i delete you know it is the same team will happen with north korea a prison believed that he can actually impress people when he invites them to about a new see think table but it actually backfire back pyre and mark korea and it is

now back firing on afghans senate so i believe and that he is in a very difficult position he kept saying all the time that we don't talk to tourist and taleban is a luck top of that that it it's those of you night if your seats so why he used talking to the taleban now why he is talking secretly would the proud of our why he is inviting them to it to come to you and i had to save talk current david and all dark to try to the twist their arm so and i think in prison crime is an of battery very awkward situation he is how did these stalks just fuel days before that 88 and a virus larry all the at pax or billiton of september so what he is going to just the pipe this kind of been chad proper is site what years going to say to that american public he is talking to give people will actually where the end q peter of the aisle canada which carry out these sky and over at backs on the 11 of september

18 years ago so i believe president prime will in marriage the lusa out of this sagger he actually misc a clearly cute heave didn't understand plan of month very well i've been to hell of arm will continue or quite be there are enough that is thrown position i'm not going to share oh as well that couple governments and in the same time they know that america which lost $3000.00 troops in afghanistan which lost about the $3000000.00 because of their involvement in this war the taliban 100 percent sure i mean it got wouldn't america as well we're not in the end they will actually pull out a bit of troops that we're going to be on their way to do it in iraq so i think the taliban is a very strong position now ok we have to leave it that jonathan middle east affairs expert abdel bari atwan thank you very much for coming on to the program to talk about this ok well. a couple of minutes after this break.

no dares thinks. we dare to ask. for their. own welcome to all the part 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 adam meowed

likely to work in the case of the current american president to discuss that i'm now joined by odds on the west that professor of history and 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 it's 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 though 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 a 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. i'm not sure if. has had a chance to read sun tzu but i think he also tends to believe that the chinese are perhaps playing the waiting game with him in fact just this past week on twitter he warned them against waiting for and 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 there were trade wars i don't think they will go back to where they were security wise i think on a whole new specter of u.s. china relations there has been a profound change and only a potent out how to do with donald trump on his tariffs it also has to do with china's policy within the eastern nation region i mean how is to do with developments inside you not the states.
