millions of serbian made weapons reports of the end up in the hands of terrorists in yemen and syria after they were boarded by the u.s. on its allies according to leaks documents obtained by a bulgarian journalist. i did 85 and i very find you if you don't know. me. you don't don't think they are. foreign owned businesses are looted in the south african city of johannesburg in a wave of anti immigrant. one sunday night that i'm being told they showed up was inside and you still look like your plates to me and sometimes the floor your schools. and the u.s. president cancels so-called secret peace talks with the afghan leader and the

taliban after the militant group admitted to a recent terrorist attack. it's the we are here on our to international with me and india today it's all round up of top stories from the last 7 days and all the latest up to date and welcome to the program millions of weapons made in serbia have reportedly fall into the hands of islamic state fighters in yemen and syria after they were bought by the united states and its allies that's according to documents seen by a bulgarian investigative journalist. this is an anonymous it was a blog document about do you. not actively receive and that you have that from tracking oh. that's war or so on the contrary i was able to id if i want to speak

a lot lot of left in the sand. they would. stop again the video e.m.f. . documents prove to be genuine then weapons seen on the islamic state video in yemen could well be serbian made after being sold to u.s. military contractors or senior correspondent lourdes garcia if explains how the weapons couldn't follow it up in time as times. it's a remarkable trail from the arms factories of europe for the hands of isis terrorists in yemen in the span of barely a year we knew this courtesy of concerned citizens who leaked the e-mails the memos the contracts between the u.s. its contractors and weapons manufacturers and the jihad ists gave it away propaganda real from isis showed in their position 82 millimeter mortar shells which the reporter was able to identify who for 18 read the numbers the side put as

production growth for manufactured in 2018 k.v. stands for the arms factory the for value of a place in serbia where the arms factory is and thanks to those leaked documents it appears the us military purchased lot for from crusade military factory last year then it was a matter of following the paper trail how those shells were brought transported mocked for the afghan army and ended up with isis in yemen report the discovered all this is certain in her findings. or. where. there are the claims you've made damaging of course is true for the us government that based on these documents that you got hold of how hard was it to get them and how certain are you that they are genuine.

i love that i am right in the beginning. i don't know that people. were all sent. where or was but i'm very thankful them because. they are they. in the sitting government. and on the label. this there is the name of the company. there were you know government all. the weapons on behalf of the arm and then thought of the shipping of that so it's not all. like he back to the us government although there is indication that information about

the us thank you know. it's the arms factory made the shelves alien tech systems and contractor for the pentagon purchased $10500.00 of them for $8000000.00 it was transported to bug area coincidentally it was isis fighters were also holding a bulgarian made sold rifles next shipment was flown via silk way west lives and as a by johnny airline licensed to transport weapons for the pentagon to u.s. bases next thing we know within the year shells are in isis is arsenal you need question all of this is how and who have bases that we've seen in possession of munitions made in but also. the way in syria various other jihad a scoop's remarkable coincidence for them to accidentally stumbled upon all of these weapons reportedly paid for by u.s.

taxpayers now we've sent many many requests for comment to the pentagon to its contractors involved in all of this the airlines the basis but so far nothing. pentagon in critical yet to give us a comment on the allegations former u.k. army officer charles super-rich gave us his insights on how weapons and up in the hands of terrorists. people such myself and not just me many people since 2011 and before when this was being muted is that we can supply we were told to moderate rebels as they were caught in either libya or syria with weaponry that would help overthrow gadhafi or for example assad it was obvious to those of us who've got really any military background to talk that it would be impossible to control where those weapons would end up and indeed much research a lot of it by academics and so on has proved this to be the case again and again are the moderate rebels so-called selling or handing over these weapons to these

groups or these groups can capture them in the field if they have back and sort of disputes themselves of course it could have been and i don't think this is necessarily the stuff of conspiracy theories it could have been so obvious of course that this would happen that it would end the weapons would end up in the hands of these extremist groups that that was the intention right from the start these are all possibilities. this week south africa's biggest city john is burgas all foreign owned businesses looted and meant a wave of xenophobia tensions across the country on monday the country's police minister described the situation as a national emergency reports from the city were foreign a state that increasingly living in fear. and killing 6 people in johannesburg i think i've seen some of the worst violence against foreign is south africa as you can see yeah loosen up taking what they can supplement by not because of what they're not aware of that it could be any moment now the entire building can come

tumbling down because believe hammering the structure now the mood on the ground it's a little bit edgy we don't feel under the same comfortable calming we've been told the buffalo no is no way. to be seen and no doubt he is trying to stay as far away from the kind of scenes as possible because one still gets to state that b. situation has not changed to complete calm i know it's hard to believe but this was a bottle store one of the questionnaires working there was you know who comes from zimbabwe what actually happened make up one family and made to have found a cold world when they break bishop they did both up was there inside monday night the big gone by then the been. implementing a lot from a global moment the big dig deep in the thames to stay. across the road here is alan who owns a hardware store and when did you ever think that you would see these kind of scenes happening so close to a business own for you on green fluid before the use of them. with similar

experience to chemistry or becoming anything remotely. or most of last you wonder of filming them what you would do with it you know largely would all work for believe that we've read from. you think showing your south african identity projects we're just going to give you this week with why what happened are you going to go look close the emotional gun law deal little other police in the government doing enough given that we're not doing enough or don't lose big moment with the lonely government we're going to play with the nobody wants both of whom wolf will get a little probably it's not just foreign owned stores that were targeted here you can see a 2nd hand car dealership that was broken into and the cars satellite now the result has been an offer by the nigerian foreign ministry for any nigerians living in this country who feel unsafe to be able to fly back home for free this is the worst spate of them a phobia of violence that south africa has witnessed since 2008 police is to most

adjacent some 8 people have been killed and more than 300 have been detained as we say the violence a sad reflection on what where he is and. tenable situation. where you from the world your plates to be in south africa the floor your schools the girls the people thought the good will last sunday in no good mood of middle of the rounds you're given to be given the blows and how many years and even some of the years to say you stop after your school. and now you have no business no move this thing you should have it is strange how you can air the cost of families all the more over how this shop which has been completely boarded up was owned by nigerians and there is no way here to be seen of course they are very afraid the shop is completely solid but this shop too has been looted also owned by nigerians

lock on the door completely sealed up so people here definitely afraid that the violence will continue you welded up the shops why they'd be there. and did they take everything from them. and where all the nigerian owners of the foreign owners all got on the roof are they thinking to leave the country they wrote your book or do stalk your great group. ever quest went out today for all nigerians in the country who want to be free of charge i able to do so and there is at least one flight today leaving at this stage the situation is extremely untenable and stevo and i continue being on the streets there's a lot of uncertainty so when we what what will happen remains to be seen of course we are our team johannesburg the head of the province where johannesburg is located insists the situation is though under control. i am confident that the police are on top of this situation. i have said but if the police are not

hoping i would have asked that the south african. police but so far they are dealing with this situation in all in their entire provinces. present tribal councils and they secret peace talks with the taliban in the us after the rape admitted carrying out thursday's explosions 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 us a little about have been in negotiations a for months with the militant group demanding the withdrawal of all foreign troops from afghanistan while america wants guarantees about the country's security a draft accord was reached last week however its future is now in question. the

taliban didn't take well to the talks being canceled warning that the decision will lead to even more u.s. losses affect the country's credibility and expose it stunts despite the threats the taliban claims it's committed to the path of negotiations while again demanding the withdrawal of foreign troops here's some of the reaction we got to transposition from people in afghanistan. because one of their soldiers presumably their general was killed in a suicide attack or 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 quarter 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 ceasefire and then the talks moved forward journalist and commentator abdel bari atwan believes trance consolation has more to it than just the peace negotiations.

i cannot accept that the reason to cancel these secret summit in camp david that day that one american soldier definitely on that region but this is a mention it. it means a president that i'm actually and he allies that he was actually caught by a lot of our present time is this for this deal he committed himself and his election campaign that he will pull out old that make up the troops from afghanistan and he wanted these troops to be pulled out before that because then should election and taliban realize this kind of nation from the american side from the president's side so that's why actually try to improve their position and milk a lot of concessions from the american administration has been a turbulent week for the british prime minister suffering to free to off the exit i'll tell you more after this break.

the barbarians the vandals of wall street are now plundering your bank account with a negative interest in astronomy economic policy there is no economics behind it that would cue to any school of economics that has ever existed as dr michael said since the bronze age it's just right very. welcome back to the program prime minister is sticking with his do or die strategy to take the u.k. out of the european union on thursday boris johnson and for sized his reluctance to extend it. absolutely not. i think it's totally. is the bill designed to stop the u.k. leaving the block without a deal was passed by both the house of commons and the house of lords the

legislation requires the prime minister to all c.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 slap 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 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 throughout the week parliament frequently erupted in anger over the course brags it was taking. the prime minister is acting like a dictator the public simply show you see. what is going on in this place the prime minister should simply follow his convictions on resign. there's only one i can

really kid that i could see i think it's a city called movement from a city called prime minister so what lies ahead for breaks it and u.k. politics let's take a quick look might get election but he's also already under pressure to quit as prime minister other options to get a deal done before the deadline on the 31st of october or delayed once again until january next year instead when bryce brags that party i mean people 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 is about stopping any talk of breaks so these people are hoping for a straight in this process for as long as possible until breakfast fatigue is so strong that we card of just give up on this but you know in the united kingdom 72400000 people voted for this this time to 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 a 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. highly anticipated prisoner swap between russia and ukraine took place on saturday with the returning 35 people the 2 countries by phone saying the move will help to normalize relations towards solving the civil conflict in eastern ukraine among the new leaf. prisoners that touched on in moscow was russian journalists can real the sion and ski he'd been jailed since is 2018 on trees in charges and is accused of back in the breakaway self proclaimed for public's in the east of ukraine the shins keith fermi denies all the charge is insisting that he was talkative to simply doing his job as

a journalist in the mean time a presidents a landscape welcome be $35.00 it's that returning ukrainian prisoners ads that plane landed in kiev some of the of elitism in so that sneak them the trade involve $24.00 ukrainian sailors seized bull violating the maritime border with russia and ukraine year in the film director or like stencil convicted of plotting terrorist acts in climate or it's being described by the russian and french leaders as an important humanitarian act during a phone conversation between blood tamir putin and the manual micron and the of this and day it's also rekindled hope that is solution can be farmed to settled the 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 it is. easy. this is the 1st time for about 5 more than 5 years close in 6 years that russian ukrainian face the region and i think that could be seen as a positive the main obstacle signals has 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 restarted this month i mean they basically they fell apart in the poroshenko years and poroshenko simply didn't want to couldn't or didn't have the mandation internally in ukraine and wasn't strong enough but he

definitely was unable to move the peace talks alarms anybody that wants to see peace between in eastern ukraine and in normalization of relations between russia and ukraine after this you know 5 and a half years of of a bio and i still if he understood this long interregnum period where there's been no progress whatsoever well below should of course. they are going out to beijing protests a whole call have taken place for a 14th straight weekend and violent earlier this day. more radical quote devils traitors the broke away from the main rally thousands joined in a peaceful march to the u.s. consulate appealing to donald trump. the star spangled banner being heard as protesters gathered waving american flags and shouting slogans in english might resist beijing and liberate hong kong they

called on u.s. lawmakers to pass a bill protecting hong kong's democratic freedoms and human rights fires were allegedly started in a subway station while protesters barricaded roads and clashed with your forty's before that police had rearrested a meeting pro-democracy activist joshua for breaching his bail conditions the bill protesters were calling for is making its way through the u.s. congress introduced back in june it would require annual checks on hong kong's autonomy status if passed could see chinese and hong kong fish was hit with sanctions if they undermine the region's autonomy or human rights u.s. lawmakers have described it as a commitment to democracy. we must take action to demonstrate to president g. the united states senate stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of hong kong in u.s. congress we look forward to swiftly advancing the bipartisan hong kong human rights and democracy act to reaffirm u.s.

commitment to democracy human rights and the rule of law and a face 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 the fed it wants and make efforts to enhance mutual trust and cooperation between china and the u.s. . all call based investigative journalist and they will check think the protesters are already receiving help from washington actually the protesters throughout probably expect any direct help from the united states or united states is not going to of course send the troops or do anything. to help them out however there are counseling for that on the. media and propaganda support

from us through the united states. the market assist local democracy movement that's without. hearing about this was actually very democratic it was anyone who is against them is being either intimidated or attacked china is. keeping cool it is so far between homegrown. law enforcement and the local protesters but how long the situation can last it on hold with those entire cities. stations are being destroyed and the main avenues absolutely dropped from the rest of the city. they've been watching the weekly international and will be back with more updates in about half an hour. and the big pain your existence crosstalk started 10 years and i think it's time to

shake things up maybe change the branding maybe the format here is what i've been thinking about next season related episodes filmed on an island 10 experts fight it out for a trophy what do you think ok a more affordable option $25.00 text birds. and one red rose another suggestion. no political cookout where we will literally. be elites. late night show it's a rare form of these days and it's cheap all you need is an old microphone in a printed banner but to leave me with one of my goals i can do this campbell after politics gone wild like music. ok crosstalk is not about hype it's about meaning 10 years of talk and still going strong.

peter if you want to change something why don't we get rid of the bow tie no that is too much. compared to centuries of chinese history 2 years is nothing unless bird's it's 2 years of donald trump with yet another round of terrorists being added to the us trade war this last week china's strategy of waiting out the enemy likely to work with the current american president. this is. one of the last important issues if not the most important issue that humanity needs to be talking about. and we had never do you want to talk about it because everybody's scared. to talk about it everybody knows that it's a you know an emotional issue in such a personal you know subject. and people are scared so people just don't talk about

it and it's sad that. our species survival is really dependent on us addressing this issue and if we can even talk about it if we can even have a conversation about it then. we're in trouble. when i was studying biology at the university of california in san diego i had a bio chemistry professor that one day came into class and told all the students to close their books and said we're not going to talk about biochemistry today we're going to watch a film about population and i was probably about 20 years old and i remember just being completely devastated by what i learned in that film and i walked across the

entire campus talking to my professor about human population and i really decided on that day that i didn't want to contribute to our rapidly growing population and really every environmental issue that we face ocean acidification and climate change habitat destruction pollution species extinction loss of biodiversity the collapse of ecosystems all of these things are accelerated by our rapidly growing population growing up i never really was planning towards having kids but i think somewhere in my mind i always thought i was going to have kids that i was going to find a wife get married and when i 1st met lonnie she kind of told me that having kids wasn't something that you. really that interested in you know what that's fine and good not having kids and 10 years later 14 years later you know to me it was one of

the best decisions that we've made no regrets really really happy to be totally by choice raising a child can be stressful so from now standpoint i think another one of the plus sides in our relationship we get to spend more time connecting with each other and i think that that's you know for us it's really important relationship i don't know necessarily that one relationship or one solid relationship is going to be good as the other because i think this is you know some people that have kids and that is their whole life and that actually brings people closer together but then on the same instance there's people who have kids and it kind of drives a wedge between them because they don't get to have that quality time together and that.
