on the friday evening in a roundabout way they just said we follow what you know firearms supports take them seriously we have to follow that mark which i mean agreement with we just disagree on how they voted but mainly they would say you know this is the gang related crime in the area the fact that clive was a male there was a mention of him being a black male obviously you know in that report all the face things you know they take very seriously i went to the chief of the superintendent and he started talking about operation tried and he started talking about you know getting laid quiet and making those associations and he read me out to look for that was made by the class of by and there was very little evidence there were tall but there was the fact that it was a black now. no u.s. china relations are at a long time low and a further dawn turner curd this week president trump took aim at chinese video

showing up to talk threatening that it's days may be numbered in the u.s. . well look you know dr we may be bending to god we may be doing some other things or government option. yet mr trump alluded to there that he would talk suggesting it. before that though on monday the stars and stripes were lowered on the u.s. consulate in the chinese city of chengdu after beijing ordered it to close vallet was in retaliation to america its order to shut china's consulate in houston texas the 2 countries creating accusations. as far as closing 'd additional embassies it's always possible they were burning documents or burning papers. chinese sides requirement to take the u.s. consulate general just to point to

a response to the justifiable behavior of the u.s. we need a strategy to protect the american economy the way of life through free world must strike over this new tyranny of the free world doesn't change doesn't change. surely change. the 40 year history of the u.s. relations. claiming he wants to defend democracy and freedom taken by no means to represent these ideals. generally and the interest groups behind him. firefighters were called to be houston mission after police said consulate workers were burning documents in the front yard local authorities claim they were getting rid of incriminating evidence after consulate officials said they were given just 72 hours to shut down but not everyone in the usa is hot on going after china with american filmmakers seemingly trying their best to rub beijing the wrong way down

the walk and explain. the u.s. and china have entered a cold war style standoff corp on multiple fronts is an old time low and one could assume the movie business is no exception. after all why should hollywood pander to beijing hollywood now regularly censors its own movies to appease the chinese communist party the world's most powerful violator of human rights even the u.s. state secretary pair was scathing in a recent speech in hollywood not too far from here the epic center of american creative freedom and self-appointed arbiters of social justice. censors even the most mildly unfavorable reference to china so is it really worth it it turns out it is last year china contributed $9200000000.00 to the global box office that's almost a quarter of global movie ticket sales while hollywood may have limited access to

the chinese market viewing figures from asia can often make or break a movie and the bank. is going to the world. universe. but to get its hands on a slice of the money hollywood needs to tread carefully china is a tough client despite having the 2nd largest film market in the world beijing is protective allowing only around $40.00 foreign movies per year so hollywood has to compromise to fill all the slots but we all know that he who pays the piper calls the tune the us lets china call the shots when it comes to the fine detail in movies this could be patrolling the chinese as the good guys think 2012 or gravity

to make our way to the space station. today. he said the government is building the ships. surjective. the. you see there is grass cutting out offensive taiwanese flags from the top gun sequel or making sure key characters aren't of tibetan origin beijing could simply cancel the release of a movie deemed offensive that once upon a time in hollywood was scrapped apparently because of the portrayal of bruce lee we get into a fight i accidently killed. i go to the upcoming milan movie has had a kissing scene cut to avoid a similar fate some even speculate that actors who displease beijing disappeared from the really big screen apparently richard gere got too friendly with the dalai lama too involved in supporting tibet no more movies with him in china perhaps you

could be replaced with a chinese counterpart after all more chinese actors are being hired to satisfy the growing demand. for me is the force of will. to lucian. blisteringly soldiers like to come in it sounds like you're. going to break out of every single one of the trumpet ministration has been moving away from the current order with stand up to china slogan but there's little turned to how can that be when even global giants like apple have to play by china's rules that market access so it's unlikely hollywood will change any time soon when it comes to choosing between politics and profit the film industry will pick the latter every time after all show business is just that a business or more from the week that was in terms of news and views earns well in about 90 seconds time stay with r.t.

in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. aura made in the shallowness. 17 minutes past 2 pm here in moscow welcome back a secret quote some source for the notorious private intelligence report which failed to link donald trump to russian collusion and 2016 being revealed and it turns out it's a us resident rather than the supposedly russia based source. of also explains a lot of the dossier seem to rely on shots between drinking buddies. it was a dossier that some prophesies would spell doom for donald trump as president and

as a human being with any shred of decency the documents penned by steele spread like wildfire across the media spilling way beyond the u.s. borders the dossier the do. that controversial document it alleges overt knowing collusion while unconfirmed accusations was. to cool the file salacious would be an understatement the claim that trump hired prostitutes to pee all over a bed at a luxury moscow hotel simply because the obama's once slipped in was just one of the highlights but trump's enemies believed wanted to believe after all the mysterious incognito informant was said to have infiltrated the in a most of russia's circle well turns out the russians soules was in fact

a bar fly in the us former journalist and now analyst igor dungeon go apparently admitted that he got his information from people he was hitting the bottle with primary subsurface and source for drink heavily together and source for always looks forward to getting together with source for when primary sub sources in town are you one go as far as calling him an alcoholic but it looks like some might dungeon girl might have boozed so hard that even got him into legal trouble but nobody's perfect the f.b.i. thought a little party never killed nobody the state department agreed delirious drunken drivel you might say but america needs to know him because he fell in with information united states government should have similarly when he developed the information relating to 2016 russia assault on our democracy interference or elections he felt it was important that the us government be aware of it and you'd

think that the revelation about the sources credibility or rather the lack of it would be the main line in the us media but who am i kidding the new york times for instance confirm. these sources identity a whole week after the story broke has been fanning suspicion about artie's website for publishing the story on time a news website posting news the outrage russian is always the eternal bogeyman in the american media no it's not quite sure why but it's been that way since the cold war and they've refused to let go of it it's the go to jail and so most democrat voters most media people most journalists we really know what the point of. trying to clues are with russia not existing cruiser with russia might be how that might jeopardize national security they just see a scary word like russia and they run with that with the election less than

a 100 days away who knows maybe another installment will cool out of the woodwork to feed the intelligence rumor mill. from casinos to hotels to office blocks the name trump is plastered on many prime addresses but on israeli settlement named after the us president as i thank you for his backing in a territorial dispute is looking much less resplendent artie's policy or went along to see for herself. what is president trump love more than seeing his name in golden letters on a big sign well praise in 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 israel you have been an incredible friend for israel and you've done extraordinary

things for the jewish state which we are eternally grateful to much bad for in 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 jar it gets into it and then you find that no boulevard or fancy entrance leading into the village instead of hard 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 of a place not even a 2nd chance you see this this building used to be the common law say to the original village for him and now 80 although he's been a fantasy name change a new settlement has filter attract many residents today less than a dozen lives here and right now no one seems to be whom. i know. is the only one poem hello. israel captured this territory from syria during the

19676 day war and later and mexted 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 and if 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 a road i don't think it's. too good. i mean. is it to which is this is an american issue that we're. going to. face really governments is plans underway to eventually house $300.00 families but in the years since trump prices being inaugurated 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 trapped likes to say. trump heights

northern israel. we hear a lot about wearing masks and gloves to keep covert away but is what you eat perhaps even more important today's guest in worlds apart certainly believes so and offers up some compelling arguments to back up his view stay close it's up next. you cannot be both with the yeah you like.

me how can you explain love i've been to 82 countries i've given 12 but i came here and on those 3 days i just felt it hopes to cover all of it. and he kept pretty isn't it sick show that. i made my decision to come here because i felt and you i could build a new life here see it at the. companies and it. goes a free man but i think god decided that this money's no good to be free while pro-style it if little. kid gets you there my one dream is that all my children find the same kind of happiness i do. i love my home i love cold weather i like the culture i like the history i like everything about it almost. essential thawing out i know that. i am

no longer welcome to while the party these days people hold very strong opinions about. wearing masks especially when it comes to obvious but true national that what they put in the mouth behind that mask has more impact on the call that anthropogenic and humane response to social isolation if not ostracism how does food feed the noble coronavirus well to discuss that and now i'm joined by asking malhotra a consultant cardiologist bestselling author and one of the u.k.'s leading active b.c. can pain is that i'm a hunter and so good to talk to you thank you very much for your time likewise exxon i know that you are now writing your new book about the link between the

worst complications from called at 19 and poor metabolic health and i heard you mention the u.k. prime minister boris johnson as a manifestation of that what exactly do you mean. well it's very important issue of your phrase oxana so this is something i've been looking at so many months analyzing the recess and the dates and it's quite clear 1st and foremost that people get seem to suffer the worst complications it might seem almost certainly have some underlying condition and when you look at those conditions such as heart disease touch diabetes high blood pressure they're already brix it in lifestyle and more specifically what we put in some outs that we eat and well you know how this became a bit more. i should have put it it was a got a lot of the way and that's something you can and internationally of course you know there was a great scare here in britain when our prime minister of course johnson got me. was from some company 19 in my 1st observation is

a doc so we observe things you know we always you know think about seems from the very basic level when we when we even treat patients we look at their parents you know. it was quite terrible because to me with my knowledge that boris johnson's weight which we know you know he's had problems with it for a long time he's been open about that in his b.m.i. in the sort of say 536 category so. this. was linked because it's a sort of mission then you know it's to explain it all essential to something very simple terms access god he thought basically is it just a respect of the many diseases it appears to be something that a sexy immune system in an adverse way but i'm sure you would agree with me in that it may be ok for the doctors to observe the a patient's body type but it's certainly considered it implies if not outright offensive to make any comments on a person's appearance especially. you know how he or she looks and i want you that's you know this.
