it was. millions of serbian made weapons reportedly end up in the hands of terrorists in yemen and syria after they were ordered by the u.s. and its allies according to leaked documents obtained by a bulgarian journalist i did 85 and i did find you and if you don't tell you the. front of the world they are. foreign owned businesses looted in the south african city of johannesburg in a wave of anti immigrant. group one time didn't need to be told probing the british stuff was inside to steal your plates to be in south africa the flow your schools.

and the u.s. president cancel so-called secret peace talks with the afghan leader and the taliban after the militant group admitted to a recent terrorist attack. is that we can hear a lot international with me in a day or 2 day it's our roundup of top stories from the last 7 days and all the latest up to date means welcome to the program. millions of weapons made in serbia have reportedly foreland 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 there is see a. doctor about do you. not actively receive that u.s. soccer mom tracking oh. a girl so.

called i was able to id if i want to speak a lot of loss of life in the language they. stop again the video e.m.f. . if those documents prove to be genuine and weapons seen on the islamic state in yemen could well have been made after being sold to u.s. military contractors or senior correspondent morgan staff explains how the weapons could have ended up in terrorist hands. 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 for 18 read the numbers the cipher it is production lot for manufactured in 2018 k.v. stands for the arms factory v. for value of a place in serbia where the arms factory is and thanks to those leaked documents it appears the us military purchased a lot for from cruising military factory last year then it was a matter of following the paper trail how those shells were brought transported mog for the afghan army and ended up with isis in yemen report that discovered all this is certain in her findings. or at least. 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 was there i have had from the beginning. i don't know or the people or of them were some. where or was at that very thankful to them because. they are in the sitting government. and on the labor. market a show this there is the name of the company. there are you have government or birth of birth the weapon on behalf of the arm and there is also the shipping of that so it's not a 0 to track. kids like he

back to the us government also there is indication that information about the us thank you know that we. were ensured the documents speak for themselves the arms factory made the shelves alien tech systems and contractor for the pentagon purchased $10500.00 of them for $8000000.00 it would transported the bug area coincidentally it was isis fighters were also holding a bulgarian made sold rifles next shipment was flume via silk way west lives and is it by johnny airline licensed to transport weapons for the pentagon to us bases next thing we know within the year shells are in isis is arsenal you need question all of this is how and who handed over those arms to extremists bear in mind that the just isis that we've seen in possession of

munitions made in but also. the way in syria various other jihad scoops. remarkable coincidence for them to accidentally stumbled aboard all of these weapons reportedly paid for by u.s. taxpayers now we've sent many many requests for comment the pentagon to its contractors involved in all of this the airlines the basis but so far nothing the 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 as myself and not just me many people since 2011 and before when this was being muted as we can supply we were told to moderate rebels as they were caught in the 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 backgrounds are told 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 either moderate rebels so-called are selling or handing over these weapons to these groups or these groups can capture them in the field if they have battles or 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 johannesburg so foreign owned businesses looted and then to a wave of xenophobia tensions across the country on monday the country's police minister describe the situation as a national emergency police live reports from a city where foreigners are increasingly living in fear. him in johannesburg which

. has seen some of the worst violence against foreigners south africa as you can see here let's take kids what they can to stop that was owed by non stop because not where are you that it wouldn't be any moment now if the entire building can come tumbling down because really hammering out the structure now the mood on the ground is little but if we don't feel 100 percent comfortable filming we've been told the photo is nowhere to be seen and no doubt he is trying to stay as far away from these kind of scenes as possible because one still gets missed is that b. situation has not returned to complete calm i know it's hard to believe but this was a bottle store one of the questionnaires working there was who comes from zimbabwe what actually happens make up one sign being made to add on to its old world when the great vision of the dead north up was that you said monday night the big gone but then the been. implementing a lot from

a global moment the big dig between the thames to school. 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 truth of them. that someone moved through the instant chemistry can become anything remotely. or most of last you wonder of filming and what you would do with it you know largely would all work for a fairly good we've read from. do you think showing your south african identity protect your kid is going to give you this week with why what happened are you going to go look close the emotional gun law deal little are the police and the government doing enough more good given that we're not doing enough or the notion of going we would be lonely government would go on a more global good morning i want you both of whom would you do before it's not just fallen on stores that were targeted here you can. a secondhand card to the

ship that was broken into and the cars say to lice not a result has been offered 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 ista mr jay said 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 and tenable situation. where you from the world your plates to be in south africa the flow you of course the go the people thought the good will last until no good for every move of build the ones you're given to be given the list and how many years even some of the years to say you south africa your school. and now you have no business no move this finishes over the issue is how you can handle 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 hear differently afraid that the violence will continue you welded up the shops why they mean the hollywood and did they take everything. and where all the nigerian owners in the foreign owners all got on the world they can come to believe the country they wrote your book or to talk to a great group who. ever quest went out today for 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 stable and i continue being on the streets there's a lot of uncertainty. so really what what will happen remains to be seen r.t.

johannesburg the head of the province where johannesburg is located insists the situation is now under control but i am confident that the police are on top of this situation. i have said but if the police are not coping i would have asked that the south african defense force must read for the police but so far they are dealing with this situation in the entire province this. present tram council sunday secret peace talks with the taliban and 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 withdraw for 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 cancelled warning that the decision really took even more u.s. losses affect the country's credibility and expose its peace stance by the threat the taliban claims it committed to the path of negotiations while again demanding the withdrawal of foreign troops whole solitary actually caught trying to decision from people in afghanistan that the act part 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 with the suicide bombings and attacks have increased in our people have been killed they had

accepted peace they should have announced a cease fire and then the talks you know moved forward a lot of that journalist and commentator abdel bari atwan believes time of consolation has more to it than just the peace negotiations. and i said that the reason to cancel these secret summit in camp david did the one american soldier yes definitely i believe him but. look i mention it. it means a president that i actually realized that he was backed by all of our present ground is this for this deal he committed himself in his election campaign that he will allow all that many troops from afghanistan and he wanted these troops to be pulled out before that because then it's your election and all about realize this kind of distraction from the american side from the president's side so that's why

actually they are trying to improve their position and milk lame concessions from the american administration it's been a turbulent week for the british prime minister suffering defeat after defeat on prague's it i'll tell you more after this break. you know world of big. lot 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 smart 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 troops the time is now watching closely watching the hawks.

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 development that only. exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. like the prime prime minister is sticking with his do or die strategy to take the u.k. out of the european union on thursday emphasized his reluctance to extend it. but i'd rather be dead in a ditch. 1000000000 pounds

a month in achieves absolutely nothing. is the point of no further i think it's totally totally pointless the bill designed to stop the leaving the block was 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 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 breaker did the list include 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 the

prime minister is acting like a dictator the public should really show you. what is going on in this place the prime minister should simply form of his convictions are not to resign. there's only clearly. that i can see. it's a city called move from a city called prime minister so what lies ahead for braggs it and u.k. politics well let's take a quick look boris johnson might get about snap election but he's also already under pressure to quit as prime minister other options are to get a deal done with the e.u. before the deadline on the 31st of october or to late once again to january next year we steadman price bragg's it 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 their due process is about stopping any type of break so

these people i hope 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 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. the ongoing anti beijing protests in hong kong have taken place for a 14th straight weekend and turned violent this sunday if you take a more radical groups demonstrators but away from the main rally thousands joined

in a peaceful march to the u.s. consulate appealing to donald trump. that. was. the star spangled banner being heard there as protesters gathered at waving american flags and shouting slogans in english like to resist beijing and liberate hong kong they called on u.s. lawmakers to pass a bill protecting the whole cause democratic freedoms and rights the fires were allegedly started in a subway station our protesters barricaded road and clashed with the authorities before that police had rearrested looting hold him up as the act of a structural form for breaching his a barrack 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 how calls autonomy status if passed could see chinese and hold call officials 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 of peace of beijing's crackdown. some in the us are still so obstinately sticking to the wrong course they threaten to push the relevant hong kong related legislation wantonly criticized hong kong the 1st 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 to further wants and make efforts to enhance mutual trust and cooperation between china and the u.s. . both investigative journalist andrei will check things the protesters are already receiving help from washington actually brought their stories through all to

probably. expect any direct help from the united states or united states is long gone are of course and the troops are doing anything got. to help them out however they are counting fully on the. media and propaganda support from us through the united states. the market assist so called them all going to serve movement that's of or hearing about this was actually about a democratically does anyone who is against them is being either intimidated or ducked china is. keeping cool it is so far between home grown. lawyers for swim and the local protestors but how long the situation going lasted a little bit goes entire cities but all eyes stations are being destroyed and the

main avenues absolutely dropped from that us of the sort that you've been watching the weekly here on r.t. international and we'll be back with more updates in about half an hour. exists is a sticker from the water bottle phone in the stomach of the fish the brand is part of the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers there are the bad ones there the litter bugs are throwing this away industry should be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic. in their class to. stay on your social projects funding me.

on i knew that is the end of a funny fun now the mountains of waste only grow higher. when lawmakers manufacture consent to step into public wealth. when the room in class is how to protect themselves. from the financial merry go round be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. i mean real news. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

hello and 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 other south of terrorists being added to the u.s. side the trade war this past week is the chinese strategy of waiting the adamy out likely to work in the case of the current american president to discuss that i'm now joined by odds are the 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 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 able to 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 dough i think the current leadership in beijing is aware that they don't have endless amounts of time and they have to go through their own economy 1st and foremost on it there is no doubt that what is happening now is very . damaging to the chinese economy many 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 but i think he also tends to believe that the chinese perhaps playing the waiting game with him in fact just this past week on twitter he

wanted them against waiting for a new administration 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 where trade was 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 potent out how to do with donald trump and his star ifs it also has to do with china's policy within the eastern nation region i did has to do with developments in saudi you know to states. 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 uni polar meeting dominated by you know the states and

towards a much more multi-polar system in which china is an increasingly important country but one among many powers that are going to have great influence so it's stuck change that is of the bottom of what's now happening in the u.s. china relationship now i think it also has something to do with a new generation of thinkers who gained a lot of influence in and around the white house and given president trump's own antics i think it's very easy to dismiss him as a charlatan but i also tend to think that he's policy visit he china is pretty elaborate i'm not saying it's good but all i'm saying that there is a lot of thought behind it by people like michael pillsbury of the it's an institute steve bannan at cetera is there anything in their world view of china as well and they cannot make war on the industrial economies of the west that rings true to you as well. not as an economic war i mean that you're still saying make any sense i mean china is competing in the international marketplace like any other country is competing in the national market because the program which is the

correct problem to focus on is that china because of its economic structure has had certain advantages in terms of the development of its own market. that all the countries more advanced countries including you know what the states including europe have not been able to to obtain but this is not uncommon in terms of the historical development so countries that are rising often cut off their own markets to foreign competition the worst sin of it i can think of in historical sense in this case is do not the states which for a very long time was the most difficult country in the late 19th and early 20th century to get access to for all the written word once the quantum is so these notes this is not surprising now i'm not so sure how advanced the thinking is strategically with regard to tariffs i think you're right in saying that some of the us view on china is changing but i think that has to do. with

everyone who is thinking of.
