many of them under-age. los angeles police reveal a taste of their daily challenge now if you're going to exploit for a trial here in los angeles they were going to come out you see officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight the early 6 trades. in. the headlines this hour the u.s. is pulling nearly $12000.00 troops from germany payback the white house says for not paying enough into night although the defense secretary choice of words did raise an eyebrow. to make any alliance sharing the burden so we can all deter russia and avoid peace and goodwill toward. big tex for most powerful c.e.o.'s getting a get a grilling by the u.s. congress cyber political censorship and competition concerns and hundreds of british health workers marched on downing street to demand a pay rise for all in this sector thing that they are still battling the pandemic

on the front line and getting any praise. but i welcome you watching r.t. international this thursday afternoon 1 o'clock here in the russian capital the united states is slashing its military presence in germany withdrawing all redeploying nearly 12000 personnel is part of a long running dispute donald trump has been lain claiming it's not paying enough into the nato military alliance although a slip of the tongue by the u.s. defense secretary did raise a few eyebrows. i've said very privately to my counterparts as well about the importance of nato any alliance sharing the burden so we can all deter russia and avoid peace in the course of he's paid all of us that morning pay us

a clip is probably going to come but still a bit of a worry though for germany isn't it but we've all had them kevin haven't we where we've said something just slightly wrong and let the words get away from us but me and you have never been the defense secretary of a nuclear state 12000 american troops will be leaving germany 6400 of those will be returning to the united states 5400 will be redeployed elsewhere around europe donald trump the us president has called germany delinquent in the past over it defense spending they seems to have been the trigger that prompted this troop withdrawal. but. let's be clear i think germany is the wealthiest country in europe germany can and should pay more to its defense it should certainly meet the 2

percent standard and i would argue go above and beyond that the number of troops to be withdrawn these high yet the $9000.00 that was quoted by the u.s. president earlier this month the minister president of bavaria market zada a man who's also taped as a potential replacement for angle of merkel when she steps down from office next year has said that this move will won't damage german u.s. relations the u.s. government's decision was very regrettable use of this dream in the u.s. human relations it's not clear what the game is from a military standpoint. in the us itself in the long run but it's also prompted a lot of domestic politicking in the united states democratic senator from new jersey bob menendez has said that. champagne would be popping in the kremlin this news that's despite the reality that moscow's less than happy at this it will almost certainly mean that u.s. troops will be stationed in poland right on russia's borders what we've heard from

the foreign minister and the chancellor here in berlin is that donald trump being voted out of office in november won't automatically fix things that the relationship between germany and the united states that those problems go much deeper we grew up in the certain knowledge that the united states wanted to be a world power should the u.s. now wish to draw from that role of the cerebral would have to reflect on that very deeply everyone who thinks everything in transatlantic partnership will be as it once was with a democratic president underestimates the structural changes there you go the united states to withdraw almost $12000.00 troops from germany and what would be so any one of the biggest shake ups in nato since the cold war is donald trump continues his policy certainly seems like a policy anyway of how to lose friends and alienate people diplomatically. these are all over there ok let's bring in. back she's from the women lead antiwar

group code pink in germany and also war resisters international good afternoon. i'm sure you welcome this announcement by donald trump but what you say to people who are concerned it might weaken germany's defense. well i think you have to ask which people the fact is that the u.s. presence here and some of the things they're doing on the german bases are the u.s. bases in germany where they are under the authority of germany are actually endangering germany perhaps for example it's often mentioned the drone wars that are. ramstein air base for all of the middle east in africa plus africa and i believe after come is still going to stay in stuttgart used to be part of the european command but now it was divided in 2008. hours to belt out. there is. a very strong and i think it's internationally

known. more and pacifist feeling in germany generally in comparison with also many other european countries this is a result in a way of the i believe the reflections on who are 2 here is a lot of friendship also for russia in germany many people also in east germany. have actually some fond memories see the nub of the when it was coming this and so there is a lot of i think that that among people here it is welcomed and i can't even be certain that it would not be somewhat welcomed in. iron places here with regard to night we often hit so i think over the last year or so you that there is a new threat a new cold war and it's russia and i were also hearing china tell you. using that

argument she would issuing that they would need more troops in germany. well i don't know why they would need to be in germany the fact that they're in germany and there were so many in japan was a result of world war 2 that was a long time ago and germany was additionally occupied as we know and now be getting out sovereignty actually as a united country since the early ninety's oh for how long should there be such an extreme amount more of soldiers in germany in germany is is you know i think it's 2nd only to japan i have to look at the years on south korea and so we're shifting a bit but it's much more many many more soldiers are stationed near and in. italy in great britain certainly france of course the france actually got all had

u.s. bases close in france i don't feel that's harmed france is the finance in any way and you have to realize also that the huge parts in the b. area it's interesting that they're closing down rock n roller which is where they had recently put a lot of investment but this is where all of these war games and nato troop exercises with little villages where people are playing. arabs or black people where they're going house to house and doing their guerrilla things i mean i don't think the majority of germans want that here you know and i not. yes there it is to your the bases while there's much criticism of the bases there can be. an economic impact on the local area. and that's why i'm lot of the city government their bases they would like to keep the bases

arriving. from the troops there so. we're going to have to leave it there we've done i think but say what you could to get your thoughts on this story that was also rushed back from the antiwar crêpe code pink in germany thank you. from casinos to hotels to office blocks the main trump is plastered on many prime addresses but an israeli settlement named after the u.s. president as a thank you for his backing in a territorial dispute is looking much less resplendent on his poor slayer has more on the story what is president trump left more than seeing his name in golden letters on a big sign while praising recognition one would say and here in northern israel he's got both trump heights in the middle of nowhere a thank you from benjamin netanyahu to his american body for doing what most of the international community would not recognize this is the golan heights as part of his role you've been an incredible friend for israel and you've done extraordinary

things for the jewish state which we are eternally grateful too much bad food celebrations you might imagine an idyllic place the 1st thing you see is the settlement gate which doesn't close completely and there's a gap here through which i can just go into the but jari gets into it and then you find that no boulevard or fancy entrance leading into the village instead of hot overgrown with weeds and piles of stone a far cry from what you'd expect the entrance into trump heights would look like when you think a place like you had a 2nd chance you see this this building used to be the common law say to be a regional village for him and now 80 although he's been a fantasy name change a new settlement his filter attract many residents today less than a dozen lives here and right now no one seems to be. so i learned is there any one poem hello. israel captured this territory from syria during the

19676 day war and later and next to 981 now most of the international community considers that annexation illegal and does not consider the golan heights as part of israel. locals don't take it seriously either which i think it's not a good location it's very hard it's a neglected area and i simply don't know why people go to live there for us it's a different story ok richard is going to want to see it because we think it's all right i don't see it you don't see that it. has evoked work to produce this is an american issue. israeli government says plans are underway to eventually house $300.00 families but in the years since truck prices been overrated nothing's being done maybe it doesn't even matter if the un has been bestowed the facts on marginal after all we live in an era of fake news says

president traffic likes to say. r.t. trump heights northern israel. now the most powerful bosses in big tech have had a dressing down from u.s. lawmakers over their market power and also claims of political censorship the heads of facebook google and apple face congress and so too did the world's richest man amazon boss jeff bezos who made his 1st appearance. techs out to get conservatives that's not a suspicion that's not a hunch that's a fact single moms new families how with that. the prices were driven up by the fact that you eliminate your main competitor so i don't really respect those. amazon's dual role as a platform operator and competing so on that platform is fundamentally anti-competitive and congress must take action please but messenger let's instagram are the most now downloaded apps over the last decade your company sir owns them

all and we have a word for that that word is monopoly i believe it is in fact your company that is engaging in the election interference whether it is little wonder that there are monopoly concerns combined market value with the tech world's big 4 is greater than the entire german economy with political advertising regulations increasing in place it is suspected to the social media giant plays a crucial role in elections and are biased towards the democrats r.c. america has been discussing the concerts. but about the timing of all of this why is it happening right now is there any significance to that well there definitely isn't the chairman of the subcommittee spoke out today when the hearings started and he said that this is even more important now because as we're still dealing with a lockdown as a result of the coronavirus pandemic it is really hit small businesses the hardest and in turn it has actually made these 4 big tech companies there they're talking about even more powerful than before take

a listen part of the covert 19 pandemic these corporations already stood out as titans in our economy in the wake of corbett 1000. and more powerful than ever before as american family shifted more of their work shopping and communication online these giant stand to profit locally owned businesses meanwhile mom and pop stores on main street face an economic crisis unlike any and recent history now as we know these tech companies are. no strangers to privacy concerns and so there have also been a lot of questions about how they use all of the information that they gather from their users that are on their platforms and where that's going to go in the future yeah i think that's a really good point i think you have to look at the fact that essentially all these different companies could be i believe they are but could be violated antitrust laws in some fashion in some way or another they do seem to be engaging in very similar conduct which is essentially keeping competition from rising up using data to hold back competition all competition goes away no one is big enough or rich

enough to be able to compete and also as we all know these companies are kind of the say in that they're all data companies that's actually what they are they're companies that mine our data and then sell that data that's how they're so powerful is anything actually going to be done by congress to dress this or is this kind of an opportunity for those on the hill to do some grandstanding and ruffle their feathers. i think it's a lot of grandstanding i don't think much is going to come out of this and there's a couple of reasons for that that you and i have been talking about this for years that essentially these companies they are abusing section $230.00 and acting not as platforms but as publishers there's really no discussion right now of removing that even though some members of congress want to do that the president has talked about doing that it's not happening and so the question becomes if you really want to get these guys in line there's a couple of things you can do and one of them is to say you are in violation we're going to revoke it from you. and every week at the height of the pandemic people across britain turned to

a pooled health because it was appreciated that medical staff on downing street on wednesday say that what they really need is a decent pay rise across the sector. i think. national health service starts our june increase but most until next spring you say the money's no i mean do it especially using schools to help growth is a bracing for what could be an imminent 2nd way this campaign is that they know money is tight but that existing funds should be spread more fairly. i completely agree that we're in a very tricky situation at the moment and things are more precarious than they were you know because the last 10 years we've seen a stare at the cuts we've seen a lot a lot of damage done to certain sections of the workforce in our society now we've also seen in recent times billions of pounds being come from companies and private

companies and businesses you know there are priorities that we can see the n.h.s. is clearly not a priority in fact if even though ironically or you know in part scary the n.h.s. is being you know it's continued if you have to be thankful to continue on the value despite being the importance of the n.h.s. and has that is. so to come the u.s. federal offices be begin pulling out of the protests plagued city of portland will get details and reaction to come just after the break. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. who

dares thinks. we dare to ask. every crisis in america has been packaged as a bond and sold into the junk bond market with a longer maturity at a slightly lower coupon rate and they've been doing this now for 40 years to the point where america's indebtedness says. they engineered to the point of an extinction event as have many countries as the global.

welcome back and i bet a reduced could be heading towards a run in with russia security chief say that they have arrested more than 30 russian mysteries they suspect of planning terrorism in the country so let's get more details. is our correspondent following this story 1st good afternoon eagle serious accusations here who does a battery say it has detained well basically a very we had story you right there saying that they have this they have detained excuse me a few dozen of russian citizens who better was accusing of plotting some spying open like a destabilizing op in sight better. now the russia the kremlin has already reacted the spokesman for the russian president dmitry peskov he has said that russia as of

now still does not have the full extent of information as to what exactly they are being accused of by the way belarus has opened a terror investigation in relation to this incident so things are pretty serious but according to the to vladimir putin's spokesman they do not know anything about about the allegations the russian ambassador to. contact with the foreign ministry of that country to get that information but the completely ruled out the possibility that it was some organization that had sent those people there and he sees the well in fact the private military companies are illegal in russia it's not that they're illegal but there's no such different in the russian law as to what a private military company is but this whole thing it has caused a lot of while it has caused a large a very significant reaction in belarus especially from the higher power for example

here is what the country's president what the better russian president xander looking said about this. we need to address the russian mass media and also the not to say nonsense if you are guilty you need to get out of the situation with dignity not guilty good we have no goals to discredit the country close to us. the circumstances of this arrest are very well they're unusual i have to say because essentially what the better russian side is saying about a group of more than 30 men came and all and all got rooms at a hotel and they all were wearing military uniforms and that's how they were identified as mercenaries and if that was indeed a group of people that planned to some secret operation on a territory of another country that would be a very well that won't be the smartest thing to do you know to just put on. a

military clothes and to stay all together and like hiding in plain sight of those people. sure. it's just over a week is an hour to go now before the presidential election few surprises expected lukashenko expect to get another term what is the current state of play there at the moment well indeed this this whole situation it comes at a very trying times for the incumbent president and burros because as you said he is facing the election and so far has been sort of a rough patch for the incumbent leader because he's he's been facing protests he's being accused of jailing his opponents basically some of his of some of the opponents some of those who were about to run against the exam. they have been detained and some are saying that this is 4 for political reasons and so all this trouble and these new developments become amid a very trying what could become

a very trying run for all of the show and go. ok thank you for that we go to an affair with the latest. now for the race police protests in the u.s. city of portland saw crowds to gas stay the night with much of the gang aimed at the federal offices sent there to crack down. protest to set off fireworks but found themselves on the receiving end of to gas after ignoring police loudspeaker warnings there's also concern that detained campaigners have been told that only be released if they agree to stay away from for the protests as for the federal offices sent in by going from the oregon governor says that they will start withdrawing later on thursday they were deployed

early this month to your cities which donald trump has dried it is being ruled by liberal democrats or the handling of the racial unrest maybe pitting the white house against local leaders however donald trump's political rivals do suspect his tough and response belies a big goal in his sights with more on that his. the crisis playing out across the united states seems to be drawing a fine line between law and order order being what donald trump claims he is trying to achieve with hughes cracked down and law being what mayors say donald trump is disregard by not listening to the message of the protesters demonstrators for racial justice represent the best of our democratic ideals the president's unilateral deployment to federal forces betrays them and does nothing to keep us safe and lay stands with our friends in portland that is more like a block party atmosphere it's not in our takeover it's not

a military sprint how long do you think seattle in those few blocks looks like this . i don't know we could have the summer of love the white house continues to highlight what it's portraying as a prolonged episode of rioting and lawlessness meanwhile the protesters are refusing to throw in the towel when it comes to highlighting their issue of racial injustice. the black lives matter movement has gained traction worldwide with millions coming to understand its message and call for racial justice however many u.s. analysts are saying that in the short term it could be down will trump who actually games from the episode of prolonged on rast vandalizing our downtown gives don't trump the images he wants and the justification he sakes to send federal troops

into merican city but can be fooled and playing to his twisted campaign strategy violent protesters lighting fires and using violence in portland should wear donald trump buttons this is who they are helping progressives in portland need to call them out including the mayor read tweet police don't allow violent people to help donald trump some are making the analogy of the 1968 presidential election in which richard nixon won in a landslide following the assassination of dr martin luther king jr the protests in the streets are created an atmosphere of fear now george floyd can hardly be compared to dr martin luther king but the widespread protests sweeping urban centers are certainly reminiscent of that era bring about law and order we want a law and order they don't want lower order law and order will prevail in this president seeks to restore law and order law and order line order stands for law

and order this president stands of law and order one of the rule of law we want the law and order. against the wishes of local mayors donald trump is sending in a heavy handed federal agents now some say he could be inciting more violence however others think he has no choice but unfolds largely around the courthouse cannot reasonably be called protests it is by any objective measure an assault on the government of the united states the current wave of unrest is being dubbed the costliest in u.s. history meanwhile there's been a spike in violent crime with some voices blaming that on the calls to define the police democrats are calling out donald trump saying that he's running a campaign based on fear come on that is all about trying to come up with a bizarre law and order 2020 campaign thing to try to scare the devil out in american people so is donald trump perhaps going to win over

a silent majority is it possible that something that looked like the end of donald trump and 2020 with black lives matter in our streets could actually result in the democrats anding him another term in the white house it will come up and r.t. new york by saying that this is softening just coming up to hoss one hair or more sky will be back with more stories and the headlines take the top you. know good forward to talking to. that technology should work for people. i robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders that conflict with the 1st law show your identification or should be very careful about artificial intelligence to the point only a cd is to trace transfer evidence here. very
