germany expelled 2 russian embassy stuff. to the murder. in the state. also ahead celebrations for its 70th birthday in the. common. new investigation. 3. registered sex offenders. who should be ultimately responsible for people's safety

. we need to take a moral stance or at least have some florida responsibility to protect the women that utilize their. you need to take that into your own hands. of your choosing in from right or wrong in the world this hour welcome to international my names you know me good to have your company our top story germany has announced it's made 2 russian embassy employees persona non-grata in connection with the murder of a georgian national in august early ins attorney general has said there is evidence moscow may have been behind the killing a claim. to berlin to r.t.

to punch a low. blow so we have 2 embassy workers expelled bricked on the story for us as it stands. now so what we know so far now is that 2 employees from the russian embassy are going to be expelled and declared a persona non grata this that the news that the german german german sorry attorney general is reported to be taking over the investigation of the murder of the chechen asylum seeker in berlin who was holding a georgian passport. berlin is taking this stance against russia because they believe that the russian state is not doing enough they're not doing enough into the investigation of the pearl the person who was murdered last august in berlin it is also mentioned that the move that berlin is taking a stance that britain is taking is that they believe that they have some evidence to prove that this murder is connected somehow to the russian state. the

federal foreign office today declared to employees of the russian embassy in berlin to be persona non grata with the steps the federal government reacts to the fact that the russian authorities despite repeated high ranking and in fact it requests did not sufficiently participate in the investigation of the murder of tony k.k. in berlin zoo there are sufficient real indications that the killing is either on commission well done by state agencies of the russian federation or such of the autonomy's chechen republic as part of the russian federation. germany says that they have enough evidence to prove that this mortar was indeed connected to the russians they'd but this all comes after a article was published from the investigative group called the. cat which represents to be pointing fingers on moscow for taking part in this killing but what we also know about this group is that the somehow have close ties to. western

secret services and have been taking k. involvement in too many of the major cases involving russia pointing fingers at them about the school paul case and also the downing of the m h a 17 plane in ukraine. russia of course has denied any of these allegations and are saying that this is groundless. this is absolutely groundless speculation this topic is being somehow whipped up by german media but it does not mean it this is how things are. there is also the german called edges that are taking a stance on the latest incident. reaction from berlin a member of the parliament and member of the free democratic party alexandre. spoke to the news agency a.f.p. saying that even though the investigation is not over and it's ongoing the decision of berlin to send. expel 2 employees from the russian embassy is not clear and he would like to have more information on that it is also interesting to point out

though here that the leaders of the president of russia lot of hooting and the chancellor of germany will be meeting and friends for the normandy summit next week in a statement earlier today though said that this will not affect in any case the. enormity summit because it has to do with ukraine but what she did leave open and she mentioned that this is a possibility that the bilateral relations between the 2 countries might get affected by the latest incident this is what we know so far but as the hours go by and the days we will bring you more and more information on the incident. a bunch of substance live for us in berlin. nichiren joined me earlier here to discuss the victims and. 40 year on filin car he was killed in what was described as an execution style killing he was shot twice in the head and this is a murder case that quickly became highly politicized in the media with headlines pointing the finger at russia drawing comparisons to describe things in the u.k.

calling it the script pal 2.0 in fact the media were less interested however in delving into the history of the victim which makes quite an interesting read his c.v. is quite it shows a quite a checkered history let's say he's an ethnic chechen georgian citizen he was an islamist a former soldier he fought against russia in the 2nd chechen war he has connections to some very high profile terrorists many of the fighters he fought alongside went on to move to syria and join islamist groups there he sought asylum in germany in 2015 that was after a failed assassination attempt was that the 1st time someone tried to kill him. he was actually on a terror watch list a quite some time here. he was described as a person who potentially posed a threat to the public safety he was taken off that tara list only last year in this right in $28.00 he was removed from that list now needless to say is passed however interesting have

a check it may be does not justify his killing and the perpetrator must be brought to justice but perhaps to give a fuller picture it's worth highlighting that this guy was not joe bloggs you know he was not your average everyday guy who was a man with connections to some very questionable individuals with some very extreme ideological tendencies. let's move the program on the. topic you're in washington with the u.s. agents committee delivering what some are calling a dumbing report play the american president and his office for personal gain or to kill more than has been examining the document in a little more detail. well the report from the house intelligence committee democrats essentially alleges 2 things about donald trump 1st it alleges that he conditioned military aid to ukraine on an announcement that would have been beneficial to his reelection campaign and secondly it alleges that he obstructed

the house of representatives impeachment inquiry investigation now adam schiff representing democrats came forward and painted a pretty grim pricks here donald trump and his activities this is adam schiff this report chronicles a scheme by the president i'd states to coerce an ally ukraine that is at war with an adversary russia into doing the pleasure of the president's political dirty work and he was willing to sacrifice the national security of the united states by withholding military aid and diplomatic recognition in the form of that white house meeting in order to get what he wanted now before departing the country on monday donald trump dismissed the allegations that were expected to be leveled in this report this is what donald trump said prior to leaving the country before the report was released by the radical. democrat decides what i. set up

a year ago when i'm going that was. one of the most important. thing. for them to be doing saying putting the pieces of the table which. i grew up with in a recent interview the ukrainian leaders the lenski also dismissed these allegations about president trump behavior and interactions with him look i never talked to the president from the position of a quid pro quo that's not my thing i don't want us to look like bagus now many witnesses testified during the impeachment inquiry hearings but observers wondered if they really. you made a strong case that donald trump had been inappropriate in his dealings with ukraine this is some of the testimony that was heard there was no mention of withholding aid on the call correct that's correct and there was no quid pro quo correct correct was there any reference to withholding aid you know there was not any reference to bribery you know there was not any reference to quid pro quo and there

was not you have any information regarding any criminal activity that the president of the united states has been involved with total. now before this report was released on monday we had a report from the republicans that was released it was 123 pages long and it defended the actions of u.s. president donald trump saying that his dealings with ukraine had not been appropriate and had not violated the law fact that donald trump is out of the country celebrating the 70th anniversary of nato the north atlantic treaty organization that many have pointed to the timing of the report as being somewhat suspicious however while some are looking at the report and saying it shows very very damning evidence against donald trump others are looking at the report and saying it's simply a rehash of long discredited allegations different views from different sides of the political spectrum here in the united states. leaders of nato member

states have been meeting for a 2nd day in london to mark the military alliances 70th anniversary despite attempts to put on a show of unity divisions within the crisis stricken organization of being really. live in london for us this hour is our tease. there are celebrations aside it does seem there are more cracks appearing within nato and so. this conference this summit is going to be defined not by the unity shown on the surface not least by all the leaders but by all the. very very clear and apparent cracks between many of those coming into this summit we saw very harsh words between the tax leader i read again and the french leader manuel macron the nazi build into this conference again perhaps one thing all leaders regularly

seem to be agreed on is that russia is always the bad guy however the nato generally general secretary himself saying that what was needed was a more confrontation but dialogue with the major eastern neighbor. nato essentially rodolfo to shots because russia is our. closest neighbor our biggest neighbor we need to strive for better relations ship with russia. even if we are head not able to. get a better relationship with russia in the near term we need to manage the difficult relationship we need to make sure that we have predictability transparency. to avoid instance accidents but do you believe in what you call the do truck approach where most of void in you on chase that's expensive it's dangerous and that's also reason why we so much regret rush alesha not on this treaty. now while they

advocate more dialogue with russia the reality is of course that war games continue to take place on russia's borders with those eastern member states and of course that expansion of nato to the east continues to be a cause of national security concern for russia while any of the nato members such as turkey for example who do wish to engage with russia even buy weapons from them will find themselves soon be out cough by other members. russian air defense system s. $400.00 would never be integrated into nato it will never be part of the nato integrated air and missile defense system. now it was already touchy and contentious going into this summit and it would appear that things got even worse last night many of the leaders one of the leaders were invited to buckingham palace for a reception with the queen and some of them were caught on the microphone on the hot mike having less than complementary west say about u.s.

president donald trump. to face today i find him to be a very nice guy but you know the truth is. i called him out of the fact that he's not paying 2 percent. and i guess you don't really have to do that now as we hear from donald trump as a result of that footage emerging donald trump not happy he had canceled a scheduled a press conference it was due to be held at the end of this and will be leaving the summit he in fact just in the last few moments he's been meeting with other leaders the so-called 8 plus one who he says are the 8 countries other than the u.s. who have met the 2 percent spending targets for military targets and so mr trump making it very clear that certain countries kind of particular are not welcome not impressed with what he had and elsewhere as well we've also been hearing from. who's been saying that russia too does need to be dialogue on that front so overall

a very very divisive conference here in london it keeps edging towards not celebrity boxing match trumps versus trudeau does it. live from london this hour. we keep the news rolling from r.t. h.q. in moscow but often this. up until recently politics were about policy preferences in. ways to implement them that is not the case today your political views are now what define you as a person and there is a moral dimension bias against those who are not politically correct is the last acceptable form of discrimination this is the end of.

my feeling with this world. and this certain generation that's controlling all the politics around the world when that generation. and children that are brought to this. materialistic don't really care about these things even more automobiles want to. want to ride a bicycle movement it's global and it's going the world is going to go with it's going to change. you're back with our international popular free dating tinder and others owned by the company much group are not protecting their users from sex offenders on their

platforms a new investigation claimed let's go through what we know here a probe at a look at more than 150 incidents of sexual assault over the past decade no it followed but the majority of victims were women who met their attackers through much ups in 10 percent of cases they were paired with men who had already been accused or convicted all of sex crimes. much group which owns over 40 of the most popular they conduct background checks on the members but only for paid a cuts furthermore the company claims that they do not agree with the investigations findings. the implication that we know about such offenders on our site and don't fight to keep them off is as outrageous as it is falls as technology evolves we will continue to aggressively deploy new tools to eradicate bad actors including users of our free products where we are not able to obtain sufficient and reliable information to make meaningful bank ground checks possible chadwick

a spectator usa magazine journalist and reese everson women's rights advocate gave us their thoughts on dating platforms on their screening policies. the match group is a $1000000000.00 company there is no reason why they couldn't allocate just a small portion of their revenue to screen the people on their ab just so that there is just a smaller since of increased safety it's a precaution it's a measure but it's deserved if they appear if they're suddenly saying that we want in order to join the service we want to perform background checks on everyone who joins 1st of all that would kill the business and they know it there's a moral responsibility on these companies that are making billions of dollars 1700000000 dollars from women looking for love to say oh you know what it's too expensive for us to do a little bit to protect you nobody's going to want to join these apps with these kind of if they're doing that they're being this invasive about background checks

with that said people maybe shouldn't be on them especially women and not only are these dangerous for women but it's destroying women so just get all the dating apps if you don't perform your own background checks in your own time with your own money get off we're not going to restrict women from using the internet because there are predators we do deserve for these companies to at least take the step into the right direction why do you want to put that kind of power on these monolithic tech companies and up saying you know ban women from dating apps i'm simply saying you shouldn't rely on this and you can't trust these companies to tell you who's good and who's bad you need to take that into your own hands so if you meet someone do a background check before you did for you go out on a date if they work in tandem with the courts to get the names at least of the 1st and last names in the location of where these people are and perhaps create some type of monitor of their internet that's

a step in the right direction it's going to be a mess i think no matter what and there's always going to be people who perhaps squeak through or don't get picked up who then commit assaults and crimes get a gun ladies. protect yourselves and we don't win and by the way these incidences are obviously extremely rare and you know by and large the vast majority of men are not sexual predators one woman is enough we need the companies to take a moral stance or at least have some sort of responsibility to protect the women that utilize their ad and then what happens you know it's it's never going to be a perfect system. let's bring you know to britain an important story today the u.k. government is facing massive backlash after the release of a heavily redacted report on the fracking industry british authorities never intended it to see the light of day but greenpeace while a lengthy legal battle against london under the freedom of information act now are 2 of the $48.00 pages $37.00 big majority were totally blacked out on what remains

of the one secret document shows a concerted plan to develop a positive image for the controversial gas extraction method amongst the general public. the conservatives have taken money from oil executives dress the rise of communities and enabled frighten companies to threaten their local environment the fact they have tried to cover the sub by rejecting pages of critical information for the illustrates this government's contempt for the public this is the conservatives idea being open about the franken experiment forced to release their report they've heavily censored it these heavily redacted government report shows reference to secret plans to run a promotional campaign used by the weight of scientific evidence and strength of public opinion against fracking i dread to think what we haven't been allowed to see or with more on the fight against fracking in the u.k. there's artes of the bitter end. they high tech god knows what sticking out of the

grounds that earns some people cash and literally shakes other people's homes those other people for years have been teaming up with green activists to win a war against fracking in britain. from believable if you can believe. in finally last month came the victory at least for the timing the controversial method of shale gas extraction was banned in the u.k. under the prime minister who once called it glorious news for humanity and now that it seems there is no more need to come out and protest the cabinet office has at

the last released a secret report on the fracking industry despite these lines on the paper no parts of this report is appendices is to be released under the freedom of information act so you want to rate something that the activists were trying to get a glance at for almost 2 years there's a little problem here's what it looks like from the 48 pages seen by the guardian 37 are entirely blacked out and only one the very front is left uncensored so if you're still keen to get to know about the skeletons in the industries closet good luck why would so much stuff remain hidden looking at this black wall of redacted pages people will be wondering why there's so little the government is willing to reveal about fracking and so much it wants to hide if ministers have really dropped their support for this polluting industry why not publish this report in full and come clean about what's been going on behind closed doors. for years still though

there's enough to scratch your heads over after reading the uncensored bits in there here's a gist of a few ideas there are issues with the fracking industries progress the main one is public opposition to fracking it needs to be dealt with the government should develop a pro shale narrative and spread the word the department for energy and climate change is already undertaken crucial work on communications to increase public acceptability of shale for example creation of objective information material development of pro show national and regional narrative show champions and among other useful moves that whitehall needs to take is finding ways to speed up planning in response to operators concerns which is also sometimes an obstacle planning times need to be shortened and process needs to be predictable which all makes you wonder why would the guys in charge ban fracking at all in such

a document there are always going to be sensitive parts that are embarrassing to the government that are sensitive that could harm you know the industry potentially in the future or that could show the government being too cooperative with industry that might show motives. that are the public would not see in a good light it's to protect their their image and to protect their ability to move forward and continue to do what they think they need to do for the nation which is different from what they tell the public of course because they tell the public whatever narrative suits them in terms of getting elected and so on but typically it's for domestic political reasons that you would ban it there's no other reason that i can think of depending on how things develop geopolitically there might be a big impetus to develop u.k. shale and in which case they'll want to do. as quickly as possible we're all set
