most protect its own existence with existence. with. breaking news here in r.t. russia is washington more pay the price for harming relations between staff to the us now and russian diplomatic personnel being expelled from the country by yet more sanctions a slap on moscow for election meddling also to come this hour the french parliament is a controversial bill on global security something which had already and good human rights groups who fear it threatens efforts to call out police abuse and c.n.n.

direct risk caught on camera admitting these channels threats propaganda despite the network's slogan that it is the most trusted media outlet. whether welcome or start without breaking them because the russian foreign ministry says that washington bears full responsibility for harming relations with moscow that's after the white house said it was expelling diplomatic staff and imposing a wave of new sanctions the russian foreign ministry said that moscow would have no choice but to retaliate. such aggressive behavior will undoubtedly meet resistance and responds to the sanctions will be inevitable washington has to understand that there will be a price for the degradation of bilateral relations and it is the u.s.

that is entirely responsible for what is happening i would also like to say that the us and best has been summoned to the russian foreign ministry we will inform you of the results of this meeting which will be hard for the american side. ok we can discuss this further now with our correspondent jackie he's back in the studio jackie just looking at that statement clearly a lot of anger from russia just take us through what's happened over the last few hours as well exactly as the russian reaction makes clear this latest move from the u.s. represents a sharp hit to relations between the 2 countries and the measures being announced are quite extensive they came in the form of a 5 page executive order so what's in it let's take a look now 10 personnel from the russian diplomatic mission in washington d.c. are to be expelled and the biden administration said that that includes representatives of russian intelligence services but giving them details as to what exactly that means 32 and cities and individuals or sanctioned for quote carrying out russian government directed attempts to influence the 2020 us presidential

election comes as no surprise that that was also within the document apart from that the u.s. treasury will also be targeting a number of russian financial institutes and 6 russian technology companies have been designated saying that they provided support to russian intelligence services allegedly facilitating malicious cyber attacks now with all that in mind the white house seems to be taking a rather paradoxical approach to russia relations with russia as in the statement outlining all of these measures they started off with a call for stable relations with moscow. the biden and ministration has been clear that the united states desires a relationship with russia that is stable and predictable we don't think that we need to continue on a negative trajectory however we have also been clear publicly and privately that we will defend our national interests and impose costs for russian government

actions that seek to harm us this is not the 1st time we've heard certain sentiments coming from the biden an instruction like that but then they hit moscow with the sanctions and other measures and they've also now officially laid the blame for the solar wind cyber attack at the feet of russian intelligence for a little background that last year a piece of software called solar winds was hit with a cyber attack and those behind it gain access to digital files of several u.s. government agencies including the treasury the justice and state departments it was a huge deal at the time the u.s. said that they suspected that moscow was behind the attack but investigations were still going on but now the finger of blame is being firmly pointed at russia but again with this caveat that the u.s. has high confidence quote unquote in the assessment that russia is to blame but no concrete evidence has been put forward and russia has all this time of course denied any involvement whatsoever. and it is and it's also isn't it

a sharp change in tone that we've heard from america over the last couple of days because you know if you going back to then the walls talk of a summit between america and russia well exactly just 2 days ago on tuesday biden and putin spoke by phone or biden once again said that his goal was to build a stable and predictable relationship with russia and at the time he also proposed a summit between the 2 leaders to take place and a 3rd country and the biden administration has said that that summit that meeting is vital to stop the ex escalation of tensions between the 2 powers but the russian foreign ministry says that d.c.'s actions speak a whole lot louder than those sort of words joe biden was joe biden said he's interested in the normalization of russia u.s. relations but the actions of his administration show us the opposite the u.s. is not ready to deal with the reality of the multiple of world was shot at the

possibility of american has your money instead they count on sanctions and interference in our internal affairs. so at this point russia says that they are going to react to these measures coming from the u.s. and the white house in turn says that they reserve the right to react to russia's reaction while adding and here's the kicker that it would be best if everyone restrain themselves from escalating the search situation any further covert it does look russia will be will do something to respond at least jackie thanks for that there is a. well political analyst respond does believe that sanctions are the least efficient way to resolve the current issues between moscow and washington. if you recall when donald trump was 1st elected he was adamant he was going to improve a relationship with with putin and with moscow but a majority opinion in the white sows the united states military united states security and american elites in general is in favor of this hard line of

encouraging a new cold war so unified in was being our friend which was cheated in suggesting talks the majority of the american people who matter in the united states the people who rule the united states are insistent on this cold war agenda with russia does seem that biden agree to have this summit at least seemed to make you know looking towards some sort of solution particularly towards the build up military buildup at least you create as no take in this harder stance which trying to help the process of trying to resolve matters and stood train and cannot help improve relations to moscow washington and other western. controversial global security bill has been passed by the french parliament and grants additional powers to known for bodies but has faced widespread criticism for making it harder to call out to police and peace more on the story his shot at the bits. there was rounded criticism of this bill when it was presented

a year ago not just from the left from human rights organizations and also chillingly squeaks as well concerned about elements contained in this global security bill now one of the most controversial elements was all to cool 24 we've discussed it many times and the feelings about this is that it would continue issues in the ability of the press to do their job when it came to distributing images of d.c. police offices as a result of that controversy and the widespread protests we saw here in france the government said it was going to completely revise this particular article the sticker mind though over the protests against article 24.

well the government said it was 3 writing that article completely but as it's been posted a there are elements that still are being criticized by many article $24.00 in the bill that was posted a bipolar menteri and still contains limits on who can and call and publish images over the police if they use images that publish with an intent to harm physically or mentally one of those offices on the cheek if somebody is found guilty of doing that they would then face a fine of 75000 euros or up to 5 years in jail so a pretty severe penalty for that but it wasn't just. article 24 that caused concern this no as it's been passed now gives police officers the right to film

interventions that they make it is allows them to regulate the use of drones for the police to be able to monitor a protest potentially and it allows officers to carry their weapons even when they are off duty some have described this move as essentially making throws a dysfunctional democracy. in simple terms this law will significantly restrict freedoms the use of drones during protests and things like that this is a disaster for democracy and freedom but i think security is as important as it is true but there are people who abuse it the harm is not for freedom itself people and not freedom cause harm to the continent you need to think if there are other tools that would be more consistent with the principle of human freedom the right to protest is our rights spying on people and it's not just about concern on

the streets here in france by u.n. panel of experts also raise concerns about this nor saying that it was incompatible with international human rights. the bill could lead to significant violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms in particular the right to privacy and the right to freedom of expression so despite those continuous calls to scrap this bill it has been imposed on thursday by parliamentarians 75 eating for its 33 against it but human rights organizations say this isn't the end they say that they will continue to challenge this law when it now goes to france's constitutional court and it says that that last decision will be made as to whether this bill will become law or no it. was his news network who slogan makes the bold claim that it is the most trusted media let after a c.n.n.

director was caught in a sting operation from also has come under question from quarter has more. the most trusted name in news it's a title c.n.n. has long prided itself on maybe you buy it maybe you don't but what would you think if the network had made it to deliberately spreading propaganda well apparently they did i do. believe that it was. but again we were creating stories we didn't know anything about. that's b.s. i think that you know he is the worst president we have ever seen but what president trump just said was undemocratic and false the president seems to think that dominating black people dominating peaceful protesters is law and order it's not he calls them thugs who's the thug here this guy is should not be president

cnn's charlie chester spilled the beans over a tender date he was enticed into by an undercover project veritas journalist and he claimed the channel long had a pre-determined agenda to get trump out of office one that flows from the top down from none other than c.n.n. president jeff zucker himself naturally trying to make joe biden out to be a spring chicken was the other side of the anti trump propaganda coin yeah i mean like we did it right but it was. you know he's shaking or whatever and he brought in like so many medical people so like all tell a story like this is all speculation you know you're shocked to hear john. mccain. you know. him and you save years she. hated me as a. young. guy sounds a lot like election meddling something c.n.n. has pointed the finger at russia for time and time again blaming on unverifiable

claims from u.s. intelligence and its reputation as evidence the. in last year's elections the network claimed that moscow was trying to hurt joe biden's chances by spreading conspiracy theories about the now u.s. president i'm talking about russia attacking our election russia once again interfered in the race for the white house russia is indeed interfering in the 2020 election with that kind of a double standard it should come as no surprise that people's trust for c.n.n. is on the decline but we don't think that this is all the personal attacks just. makes this worse when you're caught red handed hiding the way you do business from your viewers that's one thing but accusing someone else for breaking the very rules you yourself were caught breaking well that's another it's a rinky dink 2 bit organization what do you want it c.n.n. that scare defends immunised from any responsibility because nobody takes them

seriously and as far as project very ties and james o'keefe god bless him but how many exposé use must be produced before something's done things done and nothing jeff zucker still there everybody still there but let me explain something to their ratings are plummeting those who want to watch c.n.n. if there's no trunk what do you do talk about what a great job biden is knowing what a great job camelot harris story i don't think so now me we can't believe what we're seeing and our country is in complete collapse with our borders being destroyed and being invaded daily with crime around with a sense of believe it will distrust with with vaccine and efficacy vaccine malpractise with this anyway and years nothing for them to build up what are they going to do hey joe biden is doing

a great job nobody thinks that where is by if you know where he is so. angel even project very dark may get their wish by virtue of the implosion that i believe c.n.n. is involved in as we speak. despite a curfew anger has boiled over again on the streets of minnesota for a 4th consecutive nice does follow sunday's fatal shooting by police of tahn té right over night cars were torched shops were looted rioters clashed with troops. protesters gathered in says the brooklyn sanctuary it's a place they are demanding justice for the 20 year old who was shot after being pulled over in a routine traffic stop your officer in 5 the shot came porter says that she mistook a gun for a taser has now been charged with manslaughter the process rules the scene say when

dallas portland where the police union building there are certain cities reminiscent of those in the wake of george floyd's death last year he was killed in nearby minneapolis 10 miles from brooklyn center sparking a way of nationwide protest he died when officer been placed his name on floyd's make a show in this charged with murder and manslaughter and his trial is currently into its 2nd week radio host wayne 2 pre who served as a board member of the national diversity coalition for dong trump believes it's vital to rebuild trust between police and minority communities. tensions are so dialed to the left and right the people that are getting hurt or in the middle what's happening right now is not going to stop it's going to get worse because the lead leadership around many places is weak there is a lack of trust on both sides of the aisle and and when i mean both sides i know

there's a lack of trust with within the police community about what's going on within the minority community and then there's a lack of trust within the minority community about what the police are doing because of what they see projected on our media every day there has to be a concerted effort from both sides of leadership leadership of people that everybody can trust to sit down and work out proven solutions and and take it all types of suggestions and try to work out something and bring the trust back between law enforcement and the communities. the un has expressed alarm over what it describes as an extraordinary level of harm being inflicted on afghan civilians the number of killed or injured in the war against the taliban significantly higher than a year ago meanwhile joe biden has announced that all u.s.

and nato troops will be pulled out of afghanistan by mid september saying that they have been there for too long well according to the u.n. in the 1st 3 months of this year there were almost $1800.00 casualties that's up almost a 3rd compared to the same period last year the u.n. is particularly worried too by the spike in women and children being killed and injured as for the u.s. troop exit this will happen months later in the data created by the taliban and former u.s. president donald trump this is probably the terrorist group to warn against extending the presence of american troops saying that it will compound problems or former pentagon analyst security analyst michael maloof does fear though that neighboring countries will shoulder the burden of washington's pull at. only with u.s. troops it probably will be we might instead introduce private military contractors to try to preserve the kabul government which we created because taliban has made

it very clear they don't want to talk to them they want to set up their own emirates in afghanistan but that isn't the half of it even though they only control a portion of afghanistan used to have other tribes the northern alliance for example the once a piece of the piece of the action and corruption run supreme's of the country could easily dissolve into a civil war for countries that will be east that will stand to lose the most will be those countries in the region with us pull out it really helped countries such as russia and china not to the vote resources to try to keep the government working the problem is that they're going to have to deal with this now if the u.s. leaves altogether and that means in terms of the security aspects because of the terrorism threat al-qaeda is is growing in afghanistan as is isis and that would be a threat to the federation's own way and. write screenplays demanding a boycott of

a controversial new video game kind that it normalizes violence against muslims 6 days until age or is set to in the bloodiest battle in the iraq war. donna reports . more than 100 u.s. marines killed around 800 iraqi civilians 2 dead in bombings some short others incinerated to death this is the 2nd battle of fallujah reduced to stark statistics the bloodiest battle of the entire iraq war for american troops now made into a video game it was the bunkers they would build inside houses. you would go in the house would be your quien and then they would open up our new girl. from d.-day to the battle of stalingrad from viet nam all the way to her done and further back in history the video game industry is no stranger to projects based on real events but the developers of 6 day in fallujah say their title is

bigger than just a game it's a documentary there isn't a story. you know. there's not this is a this is a documentary with interactive sections of interest that the current for the game was. were taking as real and we were trying to. present them as a documentary were so here's a few documented facts about the battle tens of thousands of civilians that refused to leave the city a city deprived of power and water for days a city where the main hospitals entire medical stockpile was nothing more than bandages a city that dispelled the myth of america's precision targeting of insurgents as a single mortar shot was answered with

a sure fire power across neighborhoods and last but not at all least the city that enjoyed the full brunt of the u.s. chemical weapons supply. as follows the residents were surprised with this video game contrary to the fact that the us army came as peace corps destruction and debris remain today there are still scars here from the prohibited weapons the presence of the u.s. army was a source of sorrow and agony to residents and the city's infrastructure if this video game is politicized it's underestimates the agony of the residents and the trauma of the city i'm against this video game as it shows the war in our city it's

been a wrong policy to wage that war from the very start we want to boycott of the game the more subject we didn't believe that we parse the distress and the agony that the war brought to us now this video game shows the distress again the scars from the war are still seen in fallujah people are traumatized here we don't want to see kids and women killed again houses demolished would have minded boycotts of this video game. you already know what i'm getting at none of these events above apparently will make it into this documentary game developers want to keep it atrocities free the reality of fallujah a place where people live their lives has been glossed over for the sake of a thrilling combat experience if you're going to call the game a documentary video game in at the same time you want to be trustee 3 then you're already misrepresenting these historical events because there are numerous atrocities only attempts that i'm aware actually count to mean that in solution at

least the figure between 4006000 that's something that needs to be addressed and to try to portray it atrocity 3 year are ready changing the story or it just or it used to. storing the story. with more than a 100 u.s. families suffering from losing their loved ones to the sands of iraq their sacrifice has every right to be perpetuated in a video game but with 8 times as many iraqis dead and countless more scarred for generations ahead by the indiscriminate use of chemical weapons their ordeal deserves at least not to be emitted from the story this is a commercial company and commercial companies don't care about anything other than profit so there is no ethics there is no well if it has a right to which people want to buy well whether it is. this is an absolute rubbish it resents the criminal behavior of american soldiers

as here all week long versing rolls by training the victims as terrorists and criminals heroes it's immoral treaty of tragedy of the victims it's as a game is totally unacceptable and encouraging by only relations of international law by killing civilians which is contrary to the geneva convention really makes one wonders why this game is being made rushing out internationally just coming up half past 6 and even here in moscow that's how things are looking so far back again in about half an.

what's needed national know when he believes that solicit it. from the regular morgue for your partner to provide. all those lucifer mistletoe is just that just. it is not my achievement mr davies our 5 beautiful lands were conceived. and carried out by the people themselves if they would produce or even floor it with the idea of making a film like this probably be branded as crazy. how was the sentiment during the war the soviets were brave heroes resisting. that's going to change of course after the war once the cold war begins. people think that

hollywood is a free plates only what is strictly. the business and the other side is. how would i define hollywood is they call it a dream manufacturer which i think's true. equally it's a propaganda film. just like freeze dried water just add water. and then. it's art just as the art here's a child confer $100000.00 all you need is the ark to go with it but you got the token just to have the artist at. it's as if it's something in. what it is a good. so

if someone wants to authorize a product in europe let's say a plan protection product this person because this person or this company the applicant has to provide data that allows us as the risk us as us to judge whether this product is safe or not and this information comes from the applicant and the studies that are commissioned by the applicant to allow us to assess the safety are paid by the applicant obviously so it's the intellectual property of the applicant and we can publish parts of the studies in the current legal framework but we also have to respect the business confidentiality claims of the applicants so there's a balance to be found between transparency as much as possible but also to

protect the investment of companies into their product innovations. that is that companies have to submit studies to the european commission they do the studies themselves. they have to submit it to the european commission and to f. so so the european food safety authority and they have the tenor of experts that looks at the studies and then they say ok it's safe or not. so what we have found is that within these expert panel so you have a lot of people with ties with the food industry so that means a conflict of interest. so the whole system the communication and since he's in the regular to rehab since he's have the same scientists and they were in order to promote.
