Your chiming in from today welcome to. My names you know good. It will get to headline stories in just a moment but 1st iran has issued an arrest warrant for u. S. President donald trump over the drone killing of the countrys powerful top general in january to irans prosecutor is quoted by a state run news agency saying trump and others face murder and terrorism charges over the death of kassam sala money who was in charge of the revolutionary guards elite force around is asking interpol for help in detaining trump to issue a socalled red notice which is interpol its highest level request for making an arrest following a solemn ollies killing they are really in parliament unanimously voted to designate the us army and the pentagon as terrorist organizations. The New York Times is facing widespread criticism after publishing an article claiming that russia offered to taliban militants in afghanistan to kill u. S. Troops it also claimed donald trump was briefed on the matter and are for the director of National Intelligence the nie is that either the president or the Vice President wherever briefed on the claim mr trump said that was because it clearly wasnt deemed to be true. The news New York Times must release anonymous source but they can do it this person probably does not even exist with the articles being slammed by the Russian Foreign ministry which called the peace deliberate decision for me saturday also saw the taliban denying the New York Times article to either shutdown or spin taking a closer look at the piece in question and asks who could benefit from its publication. Its time to blow off the dust that circled around any smear tactics guide book since the last us election but as democrats are looking to wash away the humiliation of 2016 by trying to bring down trump this time they are resorting to the same all narrative that failed them in the 1st place russia gate american intelligence officials have concluded that the Russian MilitaryIntelligence Unit secretly offered bounties to taliban linked militants for killing Coalition Forces in afghanistan the peace rests on the familiar pillars of pulitzer winning journalism Anonymous Sources that believed concluded and desist the claims are said to be based on interrogations of captured afghan militants at least in part the article says well because less than in part well would be nothing at all really the alleged culprits is the same russian Intelligence Unit that is accused of this elsberry poisoning western intelligence official say the unit which has operated for more than a decade has been charged by the kremlin with care in the complaint to destabilize the west through subversion sabotage and the source of nation. The west by bribing the taliban into something they are doing anyway comic book villains have more logic and motivation than russia in this article but as evil and sleazy as russia may be portrayed in this story its still just Collateral Damage and not the actual target president trying to get briefed in march that russia is paying bounty money for dead american soldiers right now and his response to that is nothing his entire presidency has been a gift. But this is beyond the pale its a betrayal of most sacred duty we bear as a nation to protect and equip our troops and restrain them in the harms way. If trump refuses to hold putin accountable for funding terrorism against u. S. Troops in afghanistan then Congress Must again step up i expect the trumpet ministration to take such allegations seriously and inform congress immediately as to the reliability of these news reports the stories taking jabs at trump amid reports hes about to take another step towards ending the catastrophic 2 decades long invasion russias Foreign Ministry has dismissed the allegations as fake pointing out that more school has all along been trying to mediate the conflict and have the United States and the taliban in fact sign a peace deal the simple this information clearly illustrates the low intellectual abilities propagandists among american intelligence who have to come up with such nonsense instead of inventing something more reliable however what else can we expect from intelligence which miserably failed in the 20 year war in afghanistan its russia collusion 2. 0 as if that has ever been worth anything more but a house impeachment but left trump unfazed by hey maybe at least Robert Mueller will have a 2nd shot around 2021. Igor she fell off well the allegation is triggered another wave of anti russian history with democrat senator Chuck Schumer instantly demanding new sanctions against law school from the Quincy Institute for responsible stake in the u. S. So hes anonymous Intelligence Data is always questionable. When i 1st read this story in the New York Times i pointed out on twitter that it was weekly source a number of people replied to me said yeah but you know its been corroborated by you know the wall street journal what section on c. N. N. And so the more Mainstream Media piles up on a story like this the more it takes on the impression of being true but again we cant really know that well without knowing more about this how is the intel general who is providing this hope and is it pure or is it largely partisan driven begin telling each and sees how very largely trouble and so its not hard for Mainstream Media to get in touch with sort of not were not going to tell the person to verify the veracity of these stories even if theyre not necessarily true where even if were hearing you know a hard truth about it its certainly trying to be spun in the way in a way that implicates truong in the worst manner to help push by going across the finish line and. Get to another of a headline stories the number of women and girls in germany who have undergone the dangerous circumcision procedure female genital mutilation has risen significantly over the past 3 years one f. P. M. Victim told us of her harling experience. I probably was there on for 5 years all in the go s. G. M. Because there when i called from i can say 100 percent of the girls and they go after a member of how my mom asked. Me i remember that ladies one was holding my hand and the other one my leg and there was a virtue on were did something. I do not know what she did to me but when i went into college and i started learning about this woman it was when i discovered that it was that day that they met did it my about your pretty startling figures here a new report suggests the number of f g m victims has increased the 68000 that is a 44 percent rise since the last estimate in 2017 its been attributed to greater immigration from countries where f g. M. Is widely practiced on to 15000 girls in germany are thought to be a risk. The Un Childrens Agency unicef says it is practiced in 30 countries its estimated that some 200000000 girls and women have undergone f. G. And mostly in africa but also in some middle east countries too in most cases its carried out on girls who are under 15 some while theyre still babies for 2 again says its a problem countries like germany also needs to tackle. It was thinking this is african issue but its not kids watch it men was that they press one here in germany they are also in the risks and most of the got that is when you dont know whats happened to them that i didnt know that mothers will bring them explained that this is a part of our culture a lot of People Living in germany in the past but are living in germany those big old the language of the know what is forbidden and what is not the thing is for me its have something to do and so was integration we have a different project where we can really get to communities involved in the demo about the consequences of f g m i think in germany they should not say like all yeah the scots who on the resistance just was that if youre just a were just like was that as we are and how the German Community and i think if that is something issue like its going on in 2020 in germany i think a big action. Live from the russian capital this is artsy on the way the Russian Foreign minister talks to us exclusively at length about helping fellow zones of stranded russians get back home from abroad but border restrictions varying break li from country to country. Who are. Mobile phone when else jokes seem wrong well just dont call. Me ill get to see pal just to become active. And in the game treatment because the trail. Once on me find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Op no 2. No shots. Actually. No. Points your thirst for action. Hello again the number of corona virus infections are running the world top 10000000 led to more than half a 1000000 deaths although travel restrictions are slowly easing there are still plenty of people stuck in other countries on able to get home thousands of russians are in the predicament and foreign minister Sergei Lavrov has been talking to us about the complex to help them return home here is not full exclusive interview. What i was going well be talking today about the role of the Russian Foreign ministry has been playing in bringing russian citizens back to russia during a pandemic how did all this happen our constitution stipulates clearly that the state has to ensure that the rights of russian citizens be upheld at all times including when they were abroad is that really so did the Foreign Ministry have to get involved and to what extent but in spain general ensuring safety end up holding the rights of your citizens by all legal means globally is what any states Foreign Office does and that mandates is usually set forth in legislation russia is no exception however the options to facilitate our citizens return home can vary depending on the country and the circumstances. When they become clear the number of russian stock abroad is large enough and you have to step in and you put in the decision was made by the Emergency Response center that was set up to coordinate the activities of a number of ministries including the Foreign Ministry the ministry of Digital Development communications and mass media provided digital platforms and tools for the program the ministry of internal affairs was in charge of all migration issues the ministry of transport and the federal Consumer RightsProtection Agency was also a part of the effort he was in charge of its own mission all the key decisions on restrictive measures and then the reopening plans were made with the key input from the Health Ministry the federal Consumer RightsProtection Agency and the Emergency Response center team not what they when they become clear the russia has about 250000 people who need help to get home out of people who have purchased international took packages were quite easy to bring home and the bulk of work we had to do was for our citizens who were brought for other reasons that must be pointed out that the majority of these people were tourists too im sorry there were 2 types of tourists which were different as youre saying could you possibly clarify what you mean was ousted. Isms enjoy freedom of travel in and outside our country and when a person purchases a holiday tour that means they will have a return ticket back by the guarantees of the top Company Running the tour nonetheless any person is free to go abroad without a thought or return ticket because they might want to decide later on their return plans there are quite a lot of people who do that believe me also in addition to tourists of both kinds quite a lot of russian citizens go abroad for studies of war for treatments many who are permanent residents of foreign states decided they wanted to go home now that they got concerns over the pandemic this includes residents of the United States for instance and of new york city in particular many decided it was time to go home and apply for help while our a Government Service website course will give what we do is ensure the implementation of the decisions made by the Emergency Response center based on the epidemiological situation in essence we identify and organize people into groups keep them informed and put them on the flights home from or wherever they were it is basically everything that needs to be done gathering people communicating with him and put him on a flight right 1st of all the flight itself has to be arranged initially a decision was made to bring back no more than 500. 00 people a day using special return flights to moscow and the Moscow Region and no more than 200. 00 people on flights to other russian regions most travelers have already come back but there are still at least a couple of dozens of 1000 from aning abroad we have not been able to bring them back for various reasons it could be small groups scattered throughout different hard to reach areas for example oceania or some other islands in the philippines and latin america too because there are some exotic places that are quite far from civilization so you have to bring them all together we have to set up special hubs to take them to russia and then similar hubs in russia to take them to different russian regions its the responsibility of the north origins of those russian regions where these people are from to take them home and place them under quarantine this is the most labor intensive work right now at the ministry a number of teams have taken up that task such as the coordinates. Center which literally works 247 Crisis Management since the department and the corresponding territorial departments this effort is spearheaded by the information and press department i. P. A. D. Why the i. P. T. On the one hand its aki Communications Tool on the other is that part of the Foreign Ministry that any person in the world not only russias nationals can send the suggestions requests and complaints to the feedback can be different sometimes its a pat on the back sometimes criticisms outcry was the work of all these Coordination Teams organizing the ministry or did it happen naturally on its own no i gave the instruction i did it quite a long time ago actually in early march 1 of my deputies is in charge of all departments that ive mentioned are working together here another deputy is part of the Emergency Response center led by deputy Prime Minister john and besides we are part of the Coordination Team of the state council led by moscow massive gets. Did you expect to see so many people apply you know you frankly i wasnt surprised i can even tell you that there could have been even more there was some confusion with those who have long left russia to reside permanently elsewhere and then suddenly thought it would be safer to come back they started applying so we would bring home some 5000 people and then another 10000 would pop up on the waiting list or definition you pass something i really dont understand these people decided to live permanently abroad and i can the u. S. For example and yet the Foreign Ministry the state is helping them to come back russians are an expense why its not really like that these people still have to buy tickets and the prices are set by the Russian Airline aeroflot and the federal air transport agency which is government pays each and every person who is registered with the state Services Platform or meets the designated criteria a daily allowance of 2400 roubles per day these people are free to make their own choice its their life after all we wont double check here for Russian National wants to return thats their right of them set up so we dont really. No we do care we want to make it as comfortable for everyone as possible again it doesnt matter what choice a person made but if they think they now need to come back home and how can anyone stand in the way i think it would be wrong to do that if we should it means that we treat all people who this way or another Russian Nationals as equals theres only one way to be a russian citizen and thats having a russian passport and their approach is the same to everyone even if they also have other passports like us citizenship there is one higher minded saying we leave no one behind its time to prove that of course there were some shortcomings but no plan is without a flaw when you have so much on your hands its only natural to make mistakes i was pleasantly surprised actually i wasnt surprised i knew that most of the Ministry Staff were generous people and some embassies turned out to be quite creative in the poorer team led by the ambassador set up a tent camp for those who didnt have a place to stay
