Broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is r. T. International and john thomas certainly glad to have you with us or the u. S. Intelligence chief is hesitant to fully relinquish the power to monitor americans phone calls and Text Messages is putting early pressure on congress to reauthorize the National Security agencys Surveillance Program which is set to expire at the end of the year with more. Well the Trump White House as well as dan coats the outgoing director of National Intelligence are urging congress to renew the freedom act of 2015 and this ability of the National Security agency of the United States to conduct spying on individual citizens now essentially dan coats in his letter argued that even though the program is no longer in effect its necessary or could be necessary at some point to reinstate it and that it would be in the interest of the country overall for congress to renew the freedom act this is what dan coats said as Technology Changes his trade craft and communications habits will continue to evolve and adapt in light of these dynamic environment the administration supports reauthorization of this provision as well now Civil Liberties groups have argued that it is necessary for congress to not renew the freedom act of 2015 they argue that there are sections in the act specifically the spying and surveillance section of the law that put the privacy and Civil Liberties of millions of americans into jeopardy the governments implementation of the cool detail Records Program further demonstrates both the privacy threats posed by the program and the lack of use and for q. C. It is highly concerning that its 3 years to detect the fact that the n. S. A. Was collecting records even beyond the broad authorize ation provided under the c. D. O. Program the n. S. A. Should not be permitted to resume this program now prior to the freedom act of 2015 the n. S. A. Spying Program Collected billions of records and the freedom act of 2015 reduced the amount of data the n. S. A. Was collecting under the freedom act the n. S. A. Has the ability to collect data and phone records of suspects as well as those suspects contacts even if those contacts have different phone companies however there was a concerning revelation in june of 2018 when. Was revealed that under the freedom act the n. S. A. Had collected data on millions of americans that it did not legally have authority to oversee they said this was due to a technical irregularity so there are many concerns now but at this point the white house and the outgoing director of National Intelligence are urging congress to renew the the freedom act of 2015 a controversial surveillance law investigative journalist Dave Lindorff believes ultimately the National Security establishment will get its way. Basically the vast majority of congress is going to support renewal of this horrible law and they say is largely what it wants to do for years it was doing a lot of illegal surveillance is. Snowden reported long before it was even authorized and so you do wonder why they feel likely need these laws saying that they can do that and since they do things that they cant do anyway they were surveilling for 3 years massively beyond what the c. D. R. Was allowing them to do and they didnt do anything about it the intel anybody about it only because it got discovered did they have to deal with. The u. S. Justice department has unveiled a warrant for the seizure of the iranian oil supertanker grace one it comes only one day after authorities in the british territory of gibraltar released to the detained a vessel a warrant says the vessel all the oil on board and nearly 1000000. 00 in cash are subject to forfeiture based on violations of the International Emergency economic powers act the document also cites bank fraud of Money Laundering and terrorism related statutes it alleges a scheme to unlawfully access the u. S. Financial system to support illicit shipments to syria from iran by the Islamic Revolutionary guard corps which has been designated a terrorist organization by washington. Previously irans top diplomat sharply criticized the u. S. For attempting to block the release of the ship which was 1st seized by British Royal marines off the coast of baltar last month. Having failed to accomplish its objectives through its economic terrorism including depriving Cancer Patients of medicine the us attempted to abuse the legal system to steal our property on the high seas this piracy attempt is indicative of trumpet ministrations contempt for the law on thursday the u. S. Justice department made a last minute application to gibraltar asking it not to release the grace one which was accused of attempting to illegally ship oil to syria but the Supreme Court in the british overseas territory decided to release the vessel and 4 of its crew members the tanker is expected to set sail soon rogers chief minister says the detention was lifted after receiving formal written assurances from iran. The grace one is that for now released from detention under the sanctions act by operation low on the 30th of august i received assurances from the republic of iran that if released the destination of the grace one would not be an entity that is subject to European Union sanctions i welcome that assurance. The iranian authorities deny that the grace one was shipping oil to syria in breach of use sanctions 2 weeks after the vessel was impounded iran seized the british flag tanker in the strait of hormuz claiming it had violated International Law the us then later announced its intention to create a Naval Coalition to combat so named iranian aggression in the strait. Middle east analyst. Thinks the u. S. May have overplayed its hand with its british ally. Very skeptical the u. K. And gibraltar officials will hate the called by the u. S. Car meant a continuing pounding the tank and you know this by the legal facade it is a safe bet that given the fact that iran is also holding a british bank this is part of a quid pro quo whereby the release of the iranian tank will be followed shortly in the immediate future by the release of the british tanker held by iran we know that the u. K. Government and their boys johnson as well as those in gibraltar are rather annoyed by this lingering crisis and they want to wash their hands off of it and the u. S. Is trying every trick in the book to lingard this crisis and to keep you as part of this socalled mara time. Escort for the oil tankers passage in through the state of hormuz and the users worries that once this tanker crisis between iran and the use case is resolved then the u. K. Will pull out and yours will be a coalition are one. Made after leaving hostilities between india and pakistan the Indian Defense minister has stressed his country will continue to abide by the no 1st use policy when it comes to Nuclear Weapons however you did have this warning. He just threw the 2 now in dishes strictly adhered to the no 1st use policy what happens in the future depends on the circumstances this is the region in question kashmir the northern tip of india and pakistan now both countries that lay claim to kashmir with the United Nations describing it as a disputed territory and the socalled line of control remains the defacto border and the countries maintain their own administrations within that territory but earlier this month india revoked kashmirs special autonomy status and pakistan says that decision has destabilized the status quo in the region the United Nations for its purposes prohibits changes to the status of any disputed state and is also fear that kashmir is majority Muslim Population could be targeted by people of other faiths in the region with the conflict already into its 72nd year without a resolution. Beyond. That. Weve been hearing from political and strategic analysts in both pakistan and india on what is next for the kashmir crisis. It is something our nuclear blackmail which our son has been using against india bit by which they say that look our vehicle with Nuclear Armaments so we cannot afford an escalation or full scale war and so you have to bear with the jihad the stirrer terrorism that their sponsor across our border in an Indian Country saw in years trying to call the Nuclear Bluff of fine son by saying look i dont know for us to see is not set in stone if the circumstances change as our Defense Ministry saying by the chief means you find some attempts in a large scale terrorism wonderful meant you know an uprising against india i mean your countrymen are priced to you know do incursions into in your day to treat then v. Me after eating certain in of it it is not a heater signalling not to our conduct in the military misadventures internationally from august on by spark there was a specter which is not of warning but it should mean warning from the from the perspective of the International Community because in a broader picture than ever there is a war. And many of the situation arises where a one particular country going to use a Nuclear Weapon they are not going consider the option that since they are going to. Clear all see who havent lost india has blown apart all the by little agreement and 17 u. N. Support constant resolutions which calls for the. Sort of india has left more room for their dialogue but if International Community does not intervene there are this there is this see india as a big market and that is why they dont want to jeopardise the evolution with them and that is why the one in politics isnt being driven by the hard economic realities paranoid by them what only. Israel has said to us congresswoman who planned an official trip to the country will not be allowed entry the situation has drawn fierce condemnation back on capitol hill. Israel doesnt advance its case as a tolerant democracy or invade us ally by bahrain elected members of congress from a visit in because of their political views. Banning congresswomen amar and talib from entering israel and palestine is a sign of enormous disrespect to these elected leaders to the United States congress and to the principles of democracy. Israels analysis and treaty congresswoman and omar is beneath the dignity of the great state of israel. On thursday tel aviv said it would block visits by representatives of michigan and omar of minnesota who have supported a boycott of the jewish state israel has since said fly you could enter on humanitarian grounds to visit her 90 year old grandmother but she declined to accept restrictions placed on the visit defending his earlier stance Prime MinisterBinyamin Netanyahu cited laws prohibiting entry to anyone supporting boycotts of the country the decision came hours after donald trump encouraged banning of the u. S. Lawmakers. It would show a great weakness of israel allowed representative omar and representative chloe but to visit they hate israel and all jewish people and there is nothing that can be said or done to change their minds minnesota and michigan will have a hard time putting them back in office they are a disgrace being critical of israel in the us can backfire on private contractors as well ever since the anti boycott act was passed 2 years ago individuals or companies wanting to do business with us state governments are banned if they boycott trade with israel but some are calling this a violation of free speech we spoke to the Green Party Candidate for new York City Council marni who told us trumps intervention in the case is the 1st of its kind. This is the 1st time that a sitting president has actually told a foreign country to not accept members of his own government so in that sense i think its very unprecedented in this uprising at the same time i think many of us in the United States that if you really have 7. 00 of this in supply and i mean this is a ministration of soul i think it is a double standard but actually whats interesting about this is that the fact that there are sort of this retaliation is punishment for individuals and even after even business its that are being. First of all its a. Complete violation of the 1st and then i mean every american i mean were allowed to point on any. Forum get involved politically with issues that is really a violent person and it wouldnt wind up or that lot so i think thats tragic and i think thats immoral and i think thats the product question that over the Democratic Party really has to do has to look up look at least to stand up against.

Right. But as you. Go through what exactly happened it all took place so very quickly that the pilots were not able to return to the airport as they had barely managed to get airborne reaching an altitude of only about 260 meters but they acted decisively opting to land the plane on its belly in a cornfield just a few kilometers away from the runway without emptying the fuel tanks either a pilot in command 41 year old. Had previously been a lawyer before training as a pilot he has been flying with Ural Airlines since 2013 and he became a captain last year his copilot 23 year old Georgie Morrison got his pilots license just 2 years ago.

People describe it as a miracle i dont prefer i dont call america i prefer to call it a shiny example of the professionalism and skill of the 2 parties done a decent offer and gregory was and thankfully those events are incredibly rich. But a lot of those here engines. These days dont you know the idea of getting some pass through an entire career without even having one in 20112 at the same time engines are designed to accept the impact of one or 2 but unfortunately boats tend to find the area around our fields quite attractive incentives opposed to the environment. As a speeding up of shooters they feel safe from the airport spend an awful lot of energy trying to keep birds off the airfield thats mitigating prices like scaring someone some out of court suv used to tree bows to frighten off the other birds they have entire teams who work exclusively keeping birds as way from the airfield as much as possible of course if the birds are just outside they have to hold theres not a lot of the airport so can do. A new campaign to tackle britains soaring rates of knife crime is seeing the home office targeting the takeaway warnings and real life stories will be printed on boxes of chicken but the move has drawn criticism from the public and politicians alike as are too soft to taylor reports now from south london. He be forgiven for thinking of you case only current battle is with profit but on the streets of britain doesnt move bloody fight unfolding rising knife crime has a rapidly becoming paved with 86 fatalities in london alone since january and in the past 12 months that ive been over 43000 to my for me to the fences across the u. K. And with no sign of the fight and separating the home office is getting created. If to try to tackle the problem were rolling out our knife free chicken boxes and over 210 chicken chops in england and wales including morleys Dixie Chicken and chicken cottage he is real life stories to show people how they can go nigh free thats right when you pay is going to wing it when it comes to fighting knife crime the hash tag night Free Campaign includes digital posters as well as outreach programs where people face at local communities to talk about the risks of carrying weapons it will also see over 300000. 00 boxes and Fried Chicken shop is just like this across the country redesigned now that the campaigns hash tag knife free and when you open it up on the inside youll be able to read the stories of young people who shunned a life of crime in favor of school or music Nothing Better than a snap and a good read right well it seems not everyone agrees other than accusations of mismanaging fun the choice of chicken shops for the campaigns target space has hit us full photo with some people is this some kind of joke what have you chosen she can shops whats next my free watermelons instead of investing in a Public Health approach to Violent Crime the home office have opted for yet another crude offensive and probably expensive complain they would do better to invest in our communities not demonize them think its 30 degrees idea you know because most of the people are using the my ferrari the young people so that were talking about what are those who dont take a boat. To do anything different is a good idea because you need to decode people. To afford to provide special night right i think they could maybe aim you know public money into more important things critics the labeling the campaign for to line races saying it no i need a few times that Fried Chicken is the black communitys choice of food but that nice of the fat communitys choices. Well put the Marketing Company behind the campaign that it will bring myself to have defended its choice of location saying its a democratic space where the message will reach a wide range of people it was already kind of like its kind of a new kind of opportunity really just the 2 screens where you talk to the young part of the 1000016 to faithfully roads has an effect on one person one person can see his message and you know put down and i think it can have that ripple effects and it can change many peoples lives so for us it has an impact to one person is to prevent that actions again probably something my friends because theyre with an unfortunate incident outside one of the board even betting and whatever the stopping if youve got the opportunity to raise awareness and spread a message then of course you can add to that now that where you are already tonight kind of those kind of well as the old song says clowns to the left of me jokers to the right stuck in the middle with you the left the liberal identity politics crowd throw up their hands and cry racism the last time i looked at chicken shop all kinds of young people were eating it and on the right you have people who are similar to knisley running down our police force by 21000 officers can you believe that since 2000 and then imagining that you can solve the consequent crime problems by writing messages on cardboard these messages are not was the cardboard they are being written on we need more police with more resources and more power to get to grips with what is a mob or epidemic london last year over to new york can you believe that somebody has to do something about this much more effective than writing messages on cardboard.
