millions of serbian made weapons reportedly end up in the hands of terrorists in yemen and syria after they were boarded by the u.s. and its allies according to leaked documents obtained by a bulgarian journalist i did 85 and a very fine view and because of the amount of the front. door open they are thank you. foreign owned businesses are looted in the south african city of johannesburg in a wave of anti immigrant hate. take up one sunday night on the local blame big break to show they did both up was that it was played to stand on your plate to be in south africa for your schools. and the u.s.

president's council so-called secret peace talks would be afghan leader and the taliban the militant group or committed to a recent terrorist attack. a very warm welcome you are watching the weekly here on our c.n.n. international with the latest world news and a roundup of the stories that shape the week. millions of weapons made in serbia have reportedly folded 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 isn't anonymous it was a blog document about. the queen. not actively. tracking oh the web war or so on the contrary i also able to identify one particular

lot of leptons in the sand does not mean they. stop again the video e.m.f. . if those documents prove to be genuine then weapons seen on the islamic state video in yemen could well be so being made off to being sold to u.s. military contractors senior correspondent my galaxy of explains how the weapons could have ended up in terrace homes. 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 deciphered as 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 lot for from cruising military factory last year then it was a matter of following the paper trail how those shells were brought transported marked for the afghan army and ended up with isis in yemen report that discovered all this is certain in her findings. and 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 that very thankful to them because. that is the. they are in the sitting government. and on the labor. market a show this there is the name of the company are there for you have a government or birth to birth the weapon on behalf of the imam and there is also the shipping of that so it's not a 2 track. he'd like he back to the us government also there is indication that information about the us

thank you know. 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 there and minded 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 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 from the u.k. army officer charles she gave us his insights on how weapons end up in the hands of terrorists. paper system itself 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 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 backgrounds and 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 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 pockets or 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. in south africa's biggest city johannesburg foreign owned businesses are being looted amid a wave of anti migrant crime across the country last monday the country's police minister described the situation as a national emergency put us live reports. here in johannesburg which. had seen some of the worst violence against foreign is south africa as you can see yet up taking what they can pick something up with by non stop because what they

are not aware of that it could be any moment now the entire building can come tumbling down because they believe hammering the structure now the mood on the ground it's a little bit edgy we don't feel under the same comfortable filming we've been told the show no is no way 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 misstate that be situation that's not going to compete because i know it's hard to believe but this was a bottle. store one of the cashiers working there was who comes from zimbabwe what actually happens make up one family need to have found a cold november great vision of the day north up was there inside monday night the big gone by then they'd been. a month being away from a good well known names the big dig deep in the thames to stand. across the road here is alan who owns a hardware store and did you ever think that you would see these kind of scenes

happening so close to a business own for you all green fluid before we do that often. that someone moves through the influence chemist secret company already. or most of love the wonder of film and what do we do with it you know a lot of little work for a firm believer that we've read from bush or do you think showing your south african identity projects to you is going to give me that was really good why what happened are you going to go look close though most of them are the only little other police in the government doing enough not they given that we're not doing enough i don't know which big name would be when the government the government will move the nobody wants both of whom would you like a problem 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 say to lice not the 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 the violence that south africa has witnessed since 2008 police estimate suggests that 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 trade to be in south africa the flow your schools the girls the people thought the good will last sunday in no good mood of middle. the ones you're given to be given the list and how many years and even some of the years that you south africa your school. and now you have no business no move this finish it is feeling how you can bear the cost of family all the no no there now let's stop here 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 a door completely sealed up the people here definitely afraid that the violence will continue you welded up the shops why they mean the hollywood and did they take everything who goes with them. and where all the nigerian owners in the final of this all got underway how they can come to be the country they wrote your book or do you talk to a great group what. ever quest went out today for nigerians in the country who want to be free of charge i able to do so when there is at least one flight today leaving at this stage the situation is extremely untenable unstable and i continue being on the streets there's a lot of uncertainty so when we what what will happen remains to be seen policia our team johannesburg the head of the province where his back is located insists the situation is now under control if i am confident that the police on top of this

situation. i have said that if the police are not coping i would have asked that the south african defense force much the rainfalls the police but so far they are dealing with this situation in in the entire provinces because. as interim councils sunday's secret peace talks with the taliban in the u.s. after the group admitted carrying out those days 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. a little the band had been in negotiations for months with the militant group demanding the withdrawal of all foreign troops from afghanistan what america wants guarantees about the country's security a draft a court has reached last week however its future is now in question the taliban

didn't take well to the talks being counseled warning that it decision will lead to even more u.s. losses affects the country's credibility and expose its anti peace stance 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 thought to trunk's decision from people in afghanistan that he acts out of the heart because one of their soldiers is presumably that 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 and they had accepted peace they should have announced a cease fire and then the talks you know moved forward and i thank commentator abdel bari atwan believes charles consolation has more to it than just the peace

negotiations but i cannot accept that the reason to cancel these secret summit in camp david that day the one american soldier definitely there are other reasons but resume look i mention it. it means a president that i actually realized that he was liked by all of our president graham is this trip for this deal he committed himself in his election campaign that he will all out all that many groups from up there in samara you want police troops to be pulled out before them should election and alibi and realize this kind of distraction from the american side from the president's side so that's why actually there are right. to improve their position and milk a lot of concessions from the american administration. britain's prime minister is sticking with his do or die strategy to take the u.k. out of the e.u.

1st a parish johnson emphasized his reluctance to extend excess. of course a 1000000000 pounds a month cheese absolutely nothing. is the point of. delivery i think it's totally totally pointless the bill designed to stop the u.k. leaving the block without a deal with passed by both the house of commons and the house of lords legislation requires the prime minister to ask the e.u. for another extension if a deal is not equated parliament by the 19th of october mr johnson also felt this week to force a snap general election because he lacked a majority in the house and peace will vote once again on monday 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 break says the list includes several former cabinet members and tory

grundy's including winston churchill's grandson so they can soames throughout the week parliament frequently erupted and wrapped it in anger over the course briggs it was taking prime minister is acting like a dictator the public simply shakes it stayed here what is going on in this place the prime minister should simply follow his convictions are now resigned. there's only one car related that i can see. it's a city called movement from a city called prime minister so what lies ahead for brags that it's around u.k. politics well let's take a look boris johnson might get that 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 delay it once again to january next year and he said when bryce briggs 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 in our do it is about stopping any talk of breaks so these people i hope read on frustrate in this process for as long as possible until bricks that fatigue is so strong that we card of just give up on that. in the united kingdom 72400000 people voted for this in this term to democracy it needs to happen now of course to recall been 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 or would like to see force be able to take control of this process of reform with this but my fear is that the parliament will continue to work against him they would hand over control to europe. a highly anticipated prisoner swap between russia and ukraine took place on saturday with each returning

35 people that your country's leaders spoke by phone saying the move will help to normalize relations toward solving this civil conflict in eastern ukraine i'm only newly freed prisoners the touchdown in moscow was russian journalists curial vision ski he'd been jailed things 2018 on treason charges and is accused of backing the breakaway self-proclaimed republics in the east of ukraine which in ski firmly denies all the charges insisting that he was targeted for simply doing his job as a journalist meantime president wolanski welcomes the $35.00 returning ukrainian prisoners as their plane landed in kiev some of their relatives were also there to meet the trade involved involved $24.00 ukrainian sailors fees for violating the maritime border with russia and ukrainian activist sense of convicted of plotting terrorist acts in crimea. has been described by the russian and french leaders as important a humanitarian act and

a phone conversation between putin and emmanuel early this sunday is also rekindled hope there is the lucian could be found to such a long running ukrainian crisis. we see the agreed me true release of people detained in rusher in ukraine as a positive signal which should see another important step to breaking that deadlock in the current russian ukrainian relations russia and ukraine just swapped large numbers of prisoners very good news perhaps of 1st giant step to peace congratulations to both countries are ukraine in president vala dimmers alinsky and russian president vladimir putin have done everything we have promised and did not change over agreements to that the pretty easy if your ship so this is the 1st time for vote 5 more than 5 years close on 6 years that russian ukraine and pace the reader 9 thing that could be seen as of positive a mean obviously decision on says been made if the highest level between their the 2 p. and q. of the new president there and ukraine i'm glad the new gluten the president

a any in russia so it seems that the 2 presidents of the side of the pond it's it's a very high profile own prisoner swap this is new well received by france and germany in particular who were and you nor man you were my corn and angle america the been talking we're trying to get the peace talks sam restart this mont to mean they basically are they fell apart in the poor a shingle years min poroshenko simply that and want to cram a couldn't or it didn't have the mandation in internally in ukraine i wasn't strong enough what if he definitely was unable to move the peace talks alarms that 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 just long interregnum period where there's been no progress whatsoever well be to lay should of course young going on t. beijing protests in hong kong have taken place for a 14th straight weekend and turn violent early of this sunday plays he is takeouts

against war radical groups of demonstrate is that burke away from the main rally thousands joined it a peaceful lodge to the u.s. coal see let the pooling to donald trump this was. the star spangled banner being heard there as protesters gathered waving american flags and starting slogans in english like 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 close with the authorities before that police have rearrested leading pro-democracy activists joshua one for breaching his bill conditions the bill protesters are calling for is making its way through the u.s. congress introduced back in june it would require annual checks on hong kong's autonomous status if passed it could see chinese and to hong kong 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 a feast of beijing's crackdown. some of 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 affairs at once and make efforts to enhance mutual trust and cooperation between china and the u.s. . hong kong based journalist andrea wilczek thinks the protesters are already

receiving help from washington. actually the protesters through all to probably expect any direct help from the united states or united states is long gone off course and the troops or do anything got to to help them out however there are counting fully on the direct. media and propaganda support from the us from the united states of the market assist so called them all going to sit movement that's the whole hearing about this was actually about a democratically does anyone who is against them is being either intimidated or ducked china is. keeping cool at this so far between the home grown boys horsemen and the local protestors but how long the situation can last little though because entire cities but all eyes stations are being

destroyed and the main avenues absolutely dropped from that us to the city. thanks for joining us we're back at the top of the hour with all 3 that. lead.

oh. so. very well mark until you're watching us inside.

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 the south of terrace being added to the u.s. side the trade war this past week is the chinese strategy of waiting the anime out likely to work in the case of the current american president to discuss that i'm now joined by odds are the west a 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 great 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 joey lawyer used to say you know both the french revolution but 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's parts to a century of wars and civil wars and invasions i don't think most chinese food see this as a major challenge now one of the most quoted chinese philosophers in the west this sounds sad that if you see it by the river long enough you will eventually see the bodies of your enemies floating by. think that so what the chinese a trying to do with donald trump to some extent i think that's what to trying to do

dough i think the current leadership in beijing is aware that they don't have endless amounts of time mn they have to look of to their own economy 1st and foremost on a there is no doubt at what is happening now is very damaging to chinese economy to many for the reason that it comes together with our use slowing for on the reasons that had already been taken place before the trade was with you know it sets began so i think water trying to do it to moment is to wait and to see and to get better conditions in terms of some kind of deal with you know than states but there is no doubt in my more in death they all sorts seeking such a deal that's what they want to achieve i'm not sure if has had a chance to read sons who but i think he also tense to believe that the chinese a perhaps playing the waiting game with human fact just this past week on twitter hugh wind them against waiting for a for and new administration off to to 1020 perhaps the because he wants to stay in their white house but even if he has to leave do you think things bill 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 doubt has to do with donald trump and his star ifs it also has to do which china's policy within the eastern nation region i did has to do with developments inside you not the 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 the united states and towards a much more multi-polar system in which china is an increasingly important country but one among.
