Its a cynical movement from a cynical Prime Minister. Prisoner swap between russia and ukraine hailed by the countrys leaders as a vital step in restoring relations. With the center of moscow with kevin over the weekly around the big headlines as reported by us to you of the last 7 days and 1st but in that we just go we described how the millions of weapons made in the same reportedly fall into that ends of Islamic State fighters in yemen and syria after they were purchased by the United States and its allies is according to documents seen bubble garrett investigative journalist. Noninterference. Lol their command of our heels the line our. Back. And us. Tracking all the a way that were birthed and now there is progress i was able to be by one particular lot are left in the land of the theory in their propaganda video or even a man washington allegedly purchase weapons from 2 serbian state owned Arms Companies parity for the police in afghanistan but those arms were then seen in an Islamic State propaganda video showing militants in yemen numbers on a more to show there for instance referred to a lot 04 in a production year of 28 in the league further shows that the item in question was part of a deal between the serbian state arms money for a crusade and the pentagon contract it then there were these photos of the serbian made weapons and ammunition produced by the same companies this time though in syria the 2nd part of the report we brought you in the week claimed that the weapons procured by washington have also been ending up in the hands of rebels and terrorists that so as the accusations mounted it was done and took a closer look at the evidence from the start of the war in syria antigovernment factions have been enjoying well a gun before all inclusive some pieces fell into their hands as spoils of war where the others came from nobody knew it seemed until now because apart from the deep lying hatred towards assad all these rebels are the sole and selfgoverning ji harvests they could have another thing in common a big wealthy arms dealer lurking in the shadows. Able gary an investigative journalist has claimed to have exposed and a labrat network of private American Companies which have been buying weapons from serbian manufacturers and shipping them to the middle east the journalist managed to get through a labyrinth full of fake trails and dead ends designed specifically to cover the tracks to the Networks Command center the pentagon. In one instance an American Company 04 industries used a british broker as its middleman to buy mortar shells from serbian manufacture acoustic and this email says to learn or is a direct proof of that and it was business as usual up until the moment one crew sic was about to get paid because none of the companies adult with wanted to wire the money instead they wanted to finish the transaction and through a nother 3rd Party British company and this raised all sorts of red flags bearing in mind that the payment will be affected by the company that is not the buyer according to our law and Foreign Exchange operations we will need the consent of the serbian government i. E. The ministry of finance in order to be able to apply at the ministry of finance we necessarily need to try a part time agreement verified and signed by the buyer sierra for industries the seller holding corp crew sick and the legal entity that will affect the payment Charles Kendall and partners limited. It was so suspicious the serbs even questioned if the final destination for the armaments would indeed be the preagreed location which was no not the middle east but harmless innocent romania. The draft in jesus is to pick it states the following place of delivery. To china and a base rumania according to the above it should be clearly mentioned that the goods will be used in romania including the purpose of use and the goods will be shipped to romania they werent used in romania it seems once the money was finally wired of washingtons memory was void clean instead the ammunition was flown to qatar and ended up in syria according to the journalist that they have gone so far there are private American Companies or their companies or military part of the from bikini if they use you know are they still think. These are military like you like. Not using different places after the website its like this that people are like you problem finding information because they are all using the things like number 8 let the scheme is using different and much like their berthing their weapons buy up their proud. Nation with syria or yak to americans these 2 they even visited crusade to troubleshoot any potential insurgents on behalf of the seller i also cant buy for you they are and that amount of this is some of the United States the european that are in what is not is a Government Official and proud that there is this is the serbian i have back in the order of the letter box and a and laying around. Organize their ship much less than a year on this same 2 men were awarded for. Arming rebels in syria. The little affair with the serbs was far from a one night stand type of deal for the u. S. They shipped tens of thousands of munitions into syria drowning the country in arms for years weve worked to stop the civil war in syria and all the alleviate human suffering we wanted to reach out to syria for industries remember the American Company that initiated the deal with the serbs and imagine our surprise when we found out that the Company Barely even exists it has no listed phone number no email and just 5 yes 12345 employees not exactly a shock they had conclusive he had to give us a comment on the allegations meantime in the week former British Army Officer chose hsu bridge voters the better the said theres no reason to doubt the authenticity of those leaked documents. Its impressive piece of journalism by any standards i think to produce what she at the track that shes produced and apparently convincing evidence if these documents are genuine and so far at least theres been no indication whatsoever despite the opportunity to given to people so far show them as not genuine if theyre genuine these documents are indeed as deanna herself suggests they are indeed explosive in a revelation so really what it shows is that long after we all know of course or many of us know about this operation timber sycamore that was launched by the us was run by many years by them a covert arming and training project for syrias rebels supposedly moderate rebels. But of course invariably many of these weapons and it up in the hands of what even the us deems terrorists in syria that was all supposedly ended in 2017 when it was finally disclosed that its actually publicly acknowledged that it existed and so now weve got evidence quite clear evidence if the documentation is true and again theres nothing to indicate that its not that actually this program in another form has continued. In a rare interview since resigning in january the former u. S. Defense secretary jim mattis couldnt resist touching upon the russian meddling issues. Were going to have to recognize they mucked around our elections were going to have to deal with the putin the deal not the putin we wanted meantime the daily beast news website has published an article arguing that russian interference doesnt just mean putins russia but it goes way back in history our Senior Correspondent who goes he avoids the cloth but now the mists of time. There are a few legends as obscure and my ideas this one seemed leaguers the freemasons u. F. O. s the loch ness monster and big foot there is russian meddling and with every retelling someone nods and the little twist i mean who is going to disprove them the russians have been attacking us for 100 years but moscow mich still doesnt get it now its the daily beast turns out russian meddling is ancient lenin who already targeted western capitalism and specifically britain for a long Term Campaign of infiltration and subversion you scared yet well you better be lenin himself was a bit of a medlar says the daily beast though they do say a lot of things but with every telling as i said a Little Something gets added in this case another 50 years to Russian Election meddling plus the 50 years that mr secretary of state pompei o added when it was his. Of course and the one before that and the one before that didnt stop at 2008 you can go back to the seventys. I decided to investigate these claims and fortunately they wouldnt let me play spooky music didnt take long though to discover how old this meddling was literally here is russian octopus depicted in 2018 its tentacles reach far far back into the past same octopus seen in the 1950s who were incidents i think not its the same one cited again in 1900 how many russian octopuses do you know theres only one and wed never have known if not for British Imperial propaganda no matter how deeply buried the truth is out there and the new york city of forgotten passageways where the monk covered more evidence of russian meddling that you know the russians interfered in the us civil war sent warships to support the north Abraham Lincoln sue infectivity did they meddle with the americans actually welcome those warships potentially the russians not only lost the election for Hillary Clinton but the war for the Confederate States now this is the part where the spooky music would have been really good the Founding Fathers were infiltrated and recruited by what would all wouldnt become the k. G. B. Benjamin franklin himself 789 was elected to the Russian Academy of sciences for his quote scientific contributions others say he passed on early manuscripts of the Us Constitution as russian handlers the proof is in your wallet look at his face on the 100. 00 bill it doesnt smile and its well known that russians. Never smart it was difficult but we tracked it back a 1000 years we found russian meddling before russia even existed. Anyway millennium ago the ruler of kievan roost married his daughter to the french king and surprisingly the king died very soon and she ruled france for decades 1000 years of russian meddling proved beyond doubt back to you daily beast lets see what you can dig up about jesus christ and his ties to the k. G. B. Again as if there was a potted History Lesson the back to the present britains new Prime Minister is sticking with his do or die strategy take the u. K. Or europe on thursday Boris Johnson emphasized his reluctance to extend breaks it. Rolled he did ditch. Course a 1000000000 pounds a month in achieves absolutely nothing. Is the point of. I think its totally totally pointless the bill designed to block the u. K. Crossing out of the European Union without a deal was passed by both the house of commons and the house of lords the legislation requires the Prime Minister then to ask the e. U. For another extension if a deal is not agreed by parliament by the 19th of october further johnson also failed this week to force a snap general election because he lacked a majority in the house and peter going to vote again on that on monday about whether or not to hold one and Boris Johnson expelled 21. 00 m. Pays from the conservative party in the week just gone after they rebelled against him and voted in favor of legislation to block that no deal breaks it the list includes 2 several former cabinet members and Winston Churchills grandson Nicholas Soames no less throw the weight parliament frequently erupted in anger over the course the brics it was taking. The Prime Minister is acting like a dictator the public simply show you see. What is going on in this place the Prime Minister should simply follow his convictions on resign where theres only one car in a cage she came in i could see this how it was its a cynical movement from a cynical Prime Minister so big question now what lies ahead for breaks in and u. K. Politics none the wiser really but lets have a go Boris Johnson might get that snap election but hes also under pressure of course to quit as Prime Minister other options are to try to get a deal done with the e. U. Before the deadline on the 31st of october or delay it once again to generate next year thats even said that europe would agree to it luis Stedman Bryce breaks it party m. E. P. For scotland shared his thoughts on whats happening. We find ourselves in a situation where parliament is no longer serving the people of the United Kingdom parliament is serving parliament think its about time they started to be honest its not about stopping their due process is about stopping any type of break said so these people are hell bent on frustrating this process for as long as possible until bracks that fatigue is so strong that we kind of just give up on that but you know in the in the United Kingdom 70400000 people 5 voted for this this time to enact democracy it needs to happen now of course derek organised very reluctant now after several years of calling for. An election now he doesnt want one but but thats possibly because we can see from the polls that they wouldnt fare very well in a general election i would like to see be able to take control of this process and move forward with this but my fear is that the parliament will continue to work against him they will hand over control to europe. Is coming up to 117 on the button moscow time 17 minutes past the hour now if youre watching the clock this weekend but i can stay with this too because the head months the talks pay off as russia and ukraine trade prisoners making a vital step in restoring relations between the 2 countries both leaders say were back about big news event that we had yesterday if you missed it stay with this. The world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. Thinks. We dare to ask. Compared to centuries of chinese history 2 years is nothing unless perhaps its 2 years of donald trump with years another round of terrorists being added to the us trade war this last week is chinas strategy of waiting out the enemy likely to work with the current american president. Again this is r t so that highly anticipated prisoner swap between russia and ukraine took place saturday each side returned 35 people and the 2 countries leaders partly spoke by phone saying the move would help to normalize relations and solve the civil conflict in Eastern Ukraine among the newly freed prisoners that touched down in moscow was the russian journalist career of which in ski hed been jailed since 2018 on Treason Charges and is accused of backing the breakaway selfproclaimed republics in the east of ukraine which inskeep fairly denies the charges insisting he was simply doing his job as a journalist meantime the other side of this president selenski welcome the 35 returning ukrainian prisoners as their plane landed in kiev some of their relatives are also there to meet the train. It involved 24. 00 ukrainian sailors seized for violating the maritime border with russia and also ukrainian film director all accent soft convicted of plotting terrorist acts in crimea the exchanges rekindled some hope that a solution may be found to settle the long running ukrainian crisis. We see the agreed mutual release of people detained in russia and ukraine as a positive signal which could see another important step to breaking the deadlock in the current russian ukrainian relations russia and ukraine just what large numbers of prisoners very good news perhaps the 1st giant steps of peace congratulations to both countries are ukrainian president vala dimmers alinsky and russian president Vladimir Putin have done everything we have promised and did not change our agreements. He says if your ship but this is the 1st time for about 5 more than 5 years close in 6 years that russian ukrainian base the region and i think that could be seen as a positive i mean obviously decision answers been made at the highest level between. The new president there in ukraine. And the president in russia so it seems that the 2 president s are decided upon its a very high profile prisoner swap isnt it well received by france and germany in particular where you know a man youre my corn and angloamerican ive been talking about trying to get the peace talks we started this month i mean they basically they fell apart in the poroshenko years many simply didnt want to couldnt or didnt have the mandation internally in ukraine it wasnt Strong Enough but he definitely was unable to move the peace talks a lot of that anybody that wants to see peace between in Eastern Ukraine and normalization of relations between russia and ukraine after this you know 5 and a half years of of a bio and i still if he understood this long interregnum period where theres been no progress whatsoever well be like should of course this is in the news of the week to original bell. Passed legislation that bans traditional ways of slaughtering animals for the muslim and jewish faith allowing kosher slaughter it requires the animals to be alive and healthy they kill by having their throat cut priest telling isnt always you so in practice thats why its been banned in several e. U. Countries this new law in belgium prompted much debate though Animal Welfare groups say the law is not about targeting religions it is absolutely not a ban on religious slaughter not at all it is a ban on slaughter without stunning even if you follow all the rules and use a very sharp blade and you do everything according to religious tradition even then the animal will suffer i think the bounds of more to do with the 2 legged animals found with the 4 legged ones if there is one positive thing that comes out of this latest attempt to curtail religious freedom its to bring closer together of the jewish and muslim communities everyone will just do our home or in some corner hidden from view i dont think thats what they want to achieve so we asked our panel to look at what this new law might mean for religious freedom and animal cruelty. It is the horton debate the issue to see. Whose death is quicker historically for millennia jews have been more merciful towards animals the eat well im sure no one really is cruel to animals on purpose but the fact remains that killing an animal when you really dont have to is always going to be cruel so no matter how youre going to kill the animal there is no nice way of taking away or a life which we dont have to take away well from if youre going to spect of a cause if it is a step in the right direction to be a bit less cruel then to be more cruel if you like but the fact remains that we dont need to be doing this all together so it is it is progress you know its about it out there animals are standing before they die but slitting anyones throat you know it can never be done in a kind way. A standard in arabic its a law is what is lawful and clean and they have a standard for you to call it organic in our days so we need to have better standards for production of eggs out of a husbandry Animal Welfare animal slaughter we can have the unregulated use of slaughter and industries we have people who have been incarcerated for mass killing coming out and then becoming swordsman just to get their kicks outsourcing animals well i think there are issues in their way how they killed and a lot of slaughterhouse workers you know they come from poor backgrounds and they have no other choice but to do a job like this i mean even all of us us children if you were asked what do we want to do as adults no one would say i want to kill an animal after animal for 8 hours every day its just not a job that anyone wants to be doing so by eating everything that is actual of fascism that is a form of fascism is not up to you to tell religious minorities or minority groups around the world how to live ultimately this is a test of tolerance and well fact in telling me freedom the freedom. Of religious beliefs fine then dont eat animals but those who want to should but those standards should be of the highest order to be the more humane the most. The. The animal is going through and you can only Say Something is humane if you would be willing to swap places with these animals but i dont think any of your interviewees or any of us in 5 would like to swap places with do these poor animals whom we kill by the 1000000001 3rd of the chickens coming to stand sort of process makes them forbid and for people that muslims and jews to eat even some practicing christians now the question is religious freedom are you ok with religious groups having the freedom to kosher or not some of the stories of the week there was if you want the latest go to our t. Dot com for me kevin o. In for their. What politicians do. They put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president. Or some want to. Have to go right to be cross thats what im up for 3 of them or 10 people. Im interested always in the waters at the cottage. This ship. Is this is a stick up from the water bottle phone in the stomach of the fish the brand is part of the Cocacola Company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that lets tell consumers there are the bad was there the litter bugs are throwing this away industry should be blamed for all this waste to company has long promised to reuse the plastic. That seems cool sets. Stay on you dont lose that special projects funding me. On im your best bet is the end of a footy team the fun out the mountains of waste only grow. Our. Own welcome to all the party but they centuries long chinese history 2 years is nothing unless perhaps. Its 2 years of donald trump with the of the another south of terrorists being added to the u. S. Side the trade war this past week is the chinese strategy of waiting the adamy out likely to work in the case of the current american president to discuss that im now joined by odds are the professor of history and Global Affairs at Yale University professor west that its good to talk to you thank you very much for taking time to talk to us its a great pleasure to meet you now i know that youve long been preoccupied with chinas relationship with the world a few years back you had the grade book on the twists and turns of chinese history over the last 250 years placed on that story canvas how big of a new sense is the Trump Presidency to china is that just a bump in the road or is it something that may indeed change the trajectory of this great nation its a little bit like what premier joel are used to say able to french revolution its much too early to tell i think it is a severe challenge in many ways to what is happening in china at the moment but if you compare it to the medias parts to a century or wars and civil wars and invasions i dont think most chinese would see this as a major challenge that one of the most quoted chinese philosophers in the west this sounds who who is sad that if you see it by the river long enough you will eventually see the bodies of your enemies floating by do you think thats what the chinese are trying to do with donald trump to some extent i think thats what theyre trying to do dough i think the current leadership in beijing is aware that they dont have and some on monday have to look after their own economy 1st and foremost on it there is no doubt that what is happening now is very damaging to the chinese economy mainly for the reason that it comes together with the slowing for other reasons that had already been taken place before the trade was with you know its begun so i think what theyre trying to do at the moment is to wait and to see. And to get better conditions in terms of some kind of deal with you know the states but there is no doubt in my mind that they all seeking such a deal thats what they want to achieve im not sure if that has had a chance to read sounds but i think he also tends to believe that the chinese perhaps playing the waiting game with him in fact just this past week on twitter he warned them against waiting for a new administration off to 2020 perhaps because he wants to stay in the white house but even if he has to leave do you think things will average go back where they used to be trade wise between the United States and china no i dont think they will i dont think they will go back to where there were trade wars i dont think they will go back to where they were security wise i think on a whole new specter of u. S. China relations there has been a profound change and only a potent out how to do with donald trump and his tariffs it also has to do with chinas policy within the eastern nation region i did has to do with developments in saudi you know to states. At the basis of this whole development in my view is 1st and foremost the fact that the world is moving from having been off to the end of the cold war predominantly unicode meaning dominated by you know the states and towards a much more multipolar system in which china is an increasingly important country but one among many powers that are going to have great influence so its dot change that is at the bottom of whats now happening in the
