still there. was. this was. the 1st funerals are held for an american family brutally slaughtered in mexico by a drug cartel as it's revealed they were killed with weapons the did originate in the u.s. we look at how the illegal arms trade is fueling violence. or why squeezes it u.s. rival pull out of the lucrative chinese market with a surge in global profits despite forcing to bid to discredit the tech giant and. brazil's ex-president and leftist icon lula da silva is released from prison as he appeals his corruption case he was greeted by cheering supporters who believe the charges against new opposition be motivated.

lines from moscow studio where it's currently just past 2 o'clock in the morning you're watching r.t. international welcome to the program hundreds have gathered in northern mexico for the 1st funerals of an american family brutally slaughtered by a drug cartel earlier this week it's since been revealed they were killed by weapons that originated in the u.s. and as caleb maupin now reports there's little to restrict the flow of arms over the border. 9 americans dead 3 women and 6 children hit by mexican drug lords a 13 year old boy who walked 23 miles to get help for the others and now us politicians are willing to run through walls to serve up justice it seems this is the time for mexico with the help of the united states to wage war on the drug

cartels and wipe them off the face of the earth we merely await a call from your great new president the mexican government can't protect americans inside of mexico but america may have to take matters into our own hands this is only 50 miles away from our southern border we can certainly defend american citizens inside of mexico if mexico into mexico was not willing or able to do so is the senator suggesting that the united states send authorities or perhaps even troops into sovereign mexico now the perpetrators of this heinous crime may be subject to a high profile murder trial but are we overlooking something this was a mormon family slaughtered with 223 remington rifles made in america over 200000 firearms are smuggled from the usa to mexico every year this comes at horrific cost to society south of the border and $28000.00 alone the mexican police opened $33000.00 different homicide investigations at a higher rate of homicide than conflict at syria mexican law makes it near

impossible for civilians to legally purchase guns in fact there is only one store in mexico that actually sells firearms but yet the mexican drug cartels continue to get their hands on high tech weaponry because this isn't the weapons that are right in the united states of america because they aren't in the united states and they are for warning them mexico the low is so that that's very lucky or it there if the united states. or they went to order they would be in in lima. the axes are armed or late some the structure on the snow arm and also on the session are harmed in concert or prick know or who are going to be by on it's a hypocrisy in that sense the office of government accountability in the united states is documented that 70 percent of the weapons seized by the mexican police

originated in the united states mexican leaders have long urged the usa to crack down on the flow of weapons into their country however attempts to do so so far have failed for decades here's the thing mexico is certainly dangerous or at least that's the message that donald trump rang out pretty loudly on the campaign trail in 2016 nearly 180000 illegal immigrants with criminal records ordered deported from our country are tonight roaming free to threaten peaceful citizens when mexico sends his people to not sending their best to sending people that have lots of problems at their bringing those problems with us . they're bringing drugs they're bringing crime drugs like heroin and cocaine are flowing over the mexican border into the united states however the gangs that are executing people resisting law enforcement and transporting those drugs are armed

with guns that originally flowed in the opposite direction the united states has to you know with its diction problem with this problem of consumption not just like being on the supply side of the things but also on that man and treating these as a public health issue would be a good idea to start with it's also the sales of arms not just that benefiting those businesses that also benefit the economy of the united states and cup orating with next providing. information to do financially halogens in a more proper way and really participating and m. and g. money laundering strads. in other headline news the chinese tech giant huawei has seen a surge in global profits while also continuing to squeeze its u.s. rival apple out of the lucrative chinese market despite the u.s. government's efforts to orbit band the company it alleges has close ties with the

beijing government and intelligence agencies. remains confident about the company's future even without the us the warrior trojan care about the china u.s. trade negotiations we won't be used as a bargaining chip we can survive very well without the us we don't control the equipment so we have no idea how they operate i don't even know who's monitoring my phone i don't know which country maybe america's ease dropping or my phone calls. were back in may washington added why wait to a commerce department entity list meaning the world's number 2 maker of smart phones will not be able to deal with american companies and this limited ways ability to source key parts in particular also the daughter of huawei is found it remains under house arrest in canada as she fights extradition to the u.s. as washington accuses the company of violating sanctions on iran the u.s. also urged countries around the world to boycott the 1st ever 5 g. network developments by while we're. on the company's profits rose by 25 percent to

a record 8800000000 dollars last year it also shipped $206000000.00 smartphones in 2018 with sales up 45 percent this year who are way has already passed the 200000000 phones mark 2 months earlier than in 2018 would expect to roll out of the super fast 5 g. network in china in the coming months hallways position is expected to grow further more than 30 countries have already signed 5 g. deals with the company. and jasper lawlor of the london capital group believes as of now washington steps have been to hallways advantage. the revenues that we're seeing reported now from while way were actually pretty the us banned in may so even though that ban was actually delayed until november all those products are result of holloway's free ability to deal with u.s. companies since then it's been more problematic for example always soon to release a phone that doesn't even have the official licensed android version so that is

going to limit sales moving forward so what we could be looking at here is a is a peek moment in overseas shipments of its smart phones there's been a bit of a nationalistic spirit in china to. buy way products and more specifically not to buy u.s. products and apple has taken the brunt of that and we know that actually according to recent reports apple's market share has actually dropped significantly in and apple is looking at some of its worst couple of quarters in a row here of sales in china that is experience to date so. clearly not what. the u.s. intended there and certainly what apple would have liked seems to have been so far a benefit for weiwei. and other news that brazil's leftist icon and former president lula de silva has walked free from prison earlier today a crowd of supporters greeted him waving his party's flag.

he was convicted of corruption and money laundering but today his supporters chanted little is innocent his release was possible after a new court ruling announced on thursday that allows convicted criminals to avoid prison if they have not exhausted their appeals to serve but was presiding in president from 2003 to 2010 then in 2017 he was convicted of corruption and sentenced to 12 years in prison in summer 2019 there was a twist in loyalist case as a little conversation showed the prosecutor and the judge were privately discussing the case. hasn't it been a long time without an operation you cannot make that kind of mistake now but think hard whether that's a good idea what do you think of these crazy statements from the workers' party national board should with fishel rebut well in an interview with all over told us that he does not support foreign interference brazil must defend its serenity.

no one has to accept foreign interference in the affairs of a sovereign state i do not support american brazilian colombian or any other interference their attempts to control another country by promoting their own candidates by creating a fake figurehead like one gedo i'm totally against this there are situations that a democratic country has to deal with on its own. you brazil is a very big country it can be fully sovereign it could become one of the main actors on international policy i admire the role that president putin plays in the modern world it shows that the world cannot be held hostage to u.s. policy to trump's craziness the craziness of a u.s. president who believes that he could invade any country kill any president somebody

has to stop him and brazil concluded that. well for a bit more analysis on this we can now cross live to run in fantasies co-founder and coordinator of political movement movie mentor brazil lever run a thanks for joining us let's just start a little to sell what is free as of today what is the significance of the decision what's the impact for brazilian politics. thank you very much for his approach we hear talk and she seems well it's a rule it is in some major major figure in brasier left amber 0 asked due to the scandals of corruption scenes or the car wash ration has become so 40 percent of the left is going down they lost elections they lost position and brazilians were kind of tired not only of the leaders of those of the left but also of the main speech of or the major role the major figures so back to the track is the

way that we see in life can again have a leader and falters leader or a struggle of yesterday while some other groups it was an important more mental life of servitude. and it's bad it's a bad sign for those in the moccasin seems groups a lot of hers are her how can i say kind of into democratic speech and also has its own into democratic speech as well so what we're going to see it's a spectacle of. who will and will somehow warm shoots in. that. and then one who moves is the normal who wants to go off it's a moment colin who told you our own since the last 4 years run and we appreciate your view that as a brazilian as somebody also within a political movement party i want to pick up ice corruption charges you mention

that because just so does still have an outstanding conviction for corruption where could the case be heading to think it's going to be refined and his favor. well what happened in the supreme court is that they change one of the other side in 2016 that if you are convicted in the 2nd judgement and the 2nd instance you go to jail now they change it it didn't change the fact that he was he was completed it didn't change he used to see all. of fair to meet was a political decision not a fair judgement that's what happened they just can't change what the supreme court see about our constitution and the and the rule of the constitution about the way you criminals in jail now they have let's say the 3rd or the for instance has a way to defend themselves and it's something that's really really bad when you mean fighting corruption in brazil fighting corruption no accounts like brazil because

now they're one especially politicians and big business means that have money to the fairness else they never go to jail so not only rule but lots of criminals because of this decision from the supreme court from yesterday they now are going out of jail and they're going to cause a lot of to troll problems more. prizes in brazil what's the problem going on. obviously most people would be supportive of cleaning up corruption in any country have a supporters of the silver suggest that his corruption case was politically motivated what's your view on that. what the that's the only thing that we can see because of the grooves like the beaks the biggest scandal in the whole stall was you was needed by not only his political party not only him but all the political structure that was behind you in the workers' party and not only worked as hard but

also in all the political qualities just like m.t.b.e. are the social democrat. it's their way to jail as well they were horrified so all the guys the people the defense will they say more often about you all the advice from the all the political parties but also the car wash pollution going to jail they don't say anything but women so bold all of your words will be true so it's a it's a it's a really funny speeches a really funny way to understand what's the fight what's the struggle gives. or option or cons like brazil because it's like we. want france instants always up for action now we are getting views across the board on this here on our to international run on sand sauce co-founder and coordination of political movement momentum but as a leverage we thank you for your time thank you very much. now in other news this

hour the un general assembly has called overwhelmingly for the u.s. to lift its economic embargo on cuba will have that story i'm all coming your way after this break. 30 years ago the berglund wall fell the cold war had essentially come to an end the fall of this cold war symbol was heralded as a new spring of nations and the end of communism decades on what is the legacy of this historic event of the promise of $989.00 been fulfilled. nobody wants to look at the wildfires and say the obvious number one the taxes are being misused they're not being adequately distributed to where they are needed on the infrastructure side because there's a government failure number 2 climate change regardless of whether you believe it's

happening or not the damage that is going to be applied to your pocketbook that you will pay for climate change whether you believe it or not you know it's still the price is still there. welcome back germany has been facing widespread demonstrations from its farmers as they disrupt transport routes using tractors to block traffic this comes as the industry feels it's being unfairly blamed for climate change while also having to bend to burn its push towards carbon neutrality evangelise obsess has more on this story. german farmers are furious but this is not

a united front 2 camps are taking aim to the government over its environmental rules for very different reasons although one corner thousands of farmers causing gridlock in several major cities over environmental measures which they say are crippling their life the biggest one in bonn hold to the german argue cultural ministry were a 10 kilometer convoy brought the city to a halt. a looming ban on the controversial weed killer and tighter controls on slurry and fertilizer are just some of the measures that farmers say will force them out of business germany's lost 16 percent of its farms between the years of 2007 and

2017 a trend that the germans farmers association says is reflected across western europe farmers see the had enough of being labelled as the bad guys in the growing climate change movement we are not satisfied with the agricultural policy which is being shaped it's a policy that's not based on facts new requirements are being issued all the time at a rate we simply cannot keep up with we have no chance to adjust our farms in time with the wish list from different n.g.o.s is getting longer and we are getting fed up with the fact that we're being made responsible for every dead insects and so on up she didn't come we are fed up with this pharma bashing campaign. we simply want to show that we're fed up with being scapegoated for everything is negative we are to blame for climate change or the air or water pollution because go on like this. but on the other corner are the german farmers are accusing the government of failing the environment and putting them out of business if you want the federal

government to rethink its crime and goals rather than take further action to reduce c o 2 emissions instead of roadblocks they try taking the legal route the 1st time the government had been taken to court for failing to protect the environment. he has become clear that climate protection is prosecutable we can end up in coolant that is how i see that i believe that we should move forward with a positive attitude and i think more action must be taken now. germany's plan was to cut 40 percent of greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 and compared with those in 1990 but it has fallen short it only reduced 31 percent but a court in berlin found that the targets were not legally binding on their turds the farmers are digging in on both sides we want to be perceived as people who produce healthy products in harmony with nature and not as the biggest destroyer of

nature in germany that more needs to be done so the government recognises that it must act now they may be opposites over the impact and solutions of climate change but there's one thing that they do agree on that bird lynn is failing them both federal law suits us for our team. despite a history of animosity between north and south korea people in the south would side with north korea in the event of a conflict with japan that's the result of a survey by think tank in seoul almost half of those all said they would back pyongyang even though there was no plan to stay neutral only 15 percent said they would sign to take care that despite continuous warnings by western allies of the threat posed by north korea. north korea's to 6 test of a nuclear device and its missile launches are a threat not only to the people of south korea but to the people all across our

globe it has never been more important to be working closely together given the shared threat of north korea and north korea has conducted 10 missile tests this year 2 of them involved solid fuel missiles which the north can launch with less warning we saw soldiers preparing patriot missiles to shoot down incoming ballistic missiles from north korea the most immediate threat tonight from north korea is far more conventional they could fire on south korea while the survey also comes as relations between south korea and japan are seeing another low with disputes resurfacing over longstanding controversies back in 1910 japan turned career into its colony and for hard against the independence movement back then japan controlled almost every aspect of life on the peninsula and during the 2nd world war japan drew heavily on korea hundreds of thousands of koreans were forced to work in japan where conditions were so bad it's estimated more than $60000.00 died

as a result women from korea were also used to sex slaves by japanese soldiers and many koreans believe the treaties signed between the 2 countries in 1965 didn't amend the wrongs that were done meanwhile human rights attorney eric sorkin believes both japan and the u.s. often paint a dark picture of north south relations to fit their own political agenda. these outside influences japan in the united states for their own political purposes i think they exaggerate the desire of the north koreans to somehow attack south korea and i think that this will all begin to bear out when these types of surveys and discussions take place and when the mood in ministration finally i hope has the ability and the the guts frankly to do what they say they want to do and that is engaging and build peace and settle the korean

war with the north koreans and so i think they had japan will continue to fan these flames until the south koreans really put into it by formalizing relations and taking further serious steps toward peace. the united nations general assembly has voted overwhelmingly to end america's economic embargo on cuba now for nearly 30 years but the us together with brazil and israel have voted no. the president of trans government has begun escalating his aggression against cuba by a plane unconventional measures in order to prevent the supply of fuel to our country its goal beyond disrupting the economy is to damage a cuban family standards of living. but it is time for the vast majority to be heard it unilateral demands the immediate and definitive and to the end the chronic

and inhuman good case against cuba it is time to put an end to double standards in international relations but like all nations we get to choose which countries we trade where this is our sovereign right so it is worrying that the international community in the name of protecting sovereignty continues to challenge this right or the resolution is not legally binding but it follows a trend of u.s. isolation from the international community here's a look at this month alone on november 1st the general assembly again overwhelmingly approved a draft resolution calling for middle east free of nuclear weapons the us and israel voted against a couple of days later the organization voted on a draft resolution aimed at preventing an arms race in outer space the us and israel also said no on that as well as on a draft resolution calling for prevention of militarization in space political analyst a former u.n.

officer francesco cologne told us what makes washington act this way. they're desperate the us mean but we know what they call it faith prime of i mean they have failed grossly haven't been to a new world order i mean they have all of the spatial power party on their own. rearm on their own and decision making but what they have done was conference disorder i mean not only the use of trump i mean both of you and barack obama there was no new world order so you know after the 4 you knew clubs they snort one quarter i mean does i believe a book a main responsibility lives on the use. by us policy of reaffirm a constant. primacy. well that you update to now i'm or is on a lot could not be back hey with more news from around the world in about 30

in my iphone i have a 1000 times the capability of the of the computers we had on board the spacecraft at that time i mean it's ridiculous that in my back pocket i have much much more capability than we had in the hood in the entire apollo program. today there are good tennis and bad deadens the bad news in yemen the united states deems to be a threat the looked at those one in syria the cia and the us military were engaged in covert actions really throughout the world. where they were assassinating populist leaders they were backing up the right way militaries mentos funding an army and death squads there's no posts anymore because there's always a small income for a really good that's good for profit. i've

interviewed limits of b. and world and rape is a very very traumatizing thing to have happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen from women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma. i cannot remember how many times a young female marine that had been raped or sexually assaulted told me that she looked at these guys as your brother or the suspect as your brother it's a kid to what happens in a family with incest because you know in the military when we're functioning at our best a cohesive unit with brothers and sisters of the band of brothers and sisters i mean we are family when that ball and of trust is violated. the wound penetrates to the very most inner part of one's soul one
