a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me and. the u.s. government has ordered all non-emergency staff to leave iraq after an alleged threats coming from forces controlled by iran earlier we discussed the alleged iranian threat with artie's danny hawkins. seems now though that he's have reached new heights the u.s. has issued a security alert all its non-emergency personnel in iraq asking them to immediately depart from the u.s. embassy in baghdad and from the consulate bill that's an order that relates to all non-emergency personnel now why the sudden panic well this security alert mentions no specific threats or reasons u.s. officials have of course previously referred to what they described as substantial threats to personnel relating to rein activity in the region in particular their iranian proxies in both iraq and syria it's unclear though as to what exactly these

threats are or indeed why the threat level has jumped now what is quite clear is that the u.s. does want to show it's taking things seriously and that there is a clear and present danger from iran or its proxies to americans in the region we'll see what happens 9 with iran if they do anything it will be a very bad mistake if they do anything i'm hearing little stories about iran if they do anything they will suffer greatly we'll see what happens with the right of course u.s. forces and other u.s. workers in the region do face a level of background threat it's a volatile area rife with conflict and armed groups on all sides of hostilities nevertheless though officials haven't explained these recent developments and how any sort of iranian threat would actually manifest itself to harm u.s. personnel tensions were wrapped up last week when the u.s. deployed an aircraft carrier group complete with bombers to the region iran has described all such moves as psychological warfare. stating that they're not looking for confrontation or war but they would respond to anything they viewed as u.s.

aggression that some. view other echoed by washington as well now the root of all these recent troubles this reason this collation was of course trumps withdraw from iran nuclear treaty that was criticized roundly by the other signatories party to that agreement it was followed by the threats of sanctions saber rattling and retro . on all sides now germany and the netherlands have also suspended their military training operations in iraq interesting enough also citing the risk of potential attacks from radio proxies although i do have to up the german defense ministry have also added there's no concrete threat once again and the situation is of international concern to many countries moscow one state may have received no sort of reassurance from what compare on resolving these tensions they are predicting an escalation in the gulf in the coming weeks and months certainly no sign of things cooling down anytime soon. remember the baghdad security committee says iraq is not

facing any danger from iran despite claims from the u.s. . this is no sign of in the internal threats or any challenges as we see it from internally in iraq the problem between iran and the united states just seems to still outside the gates or outside the walls of iraq isn't. just see to dismantle it is considered here. a show of will between the 2 countries the 2 or 2 powers and we don't be here in iraq we don't believe that there will be a real. war between the 2 sides we think it's just. a war of words despite the security concerns of senior general in the u.s. led coalition in syria under a rug has questions the idea of

a heightened threat level are seascape partridge how small. the does seem to be rather a difference of opinion a breakdown in communication between the u.s. military central command and the coalition's 2nd in command over the threat posed by iran though there's been no increased threat from iranian backed forces in iraq and syria we're aware of their presence clearly. and we monitor them along with a whole range of others because that's the environment we're in we're british major general chris kc of the coalition's deputy commander for strategy and information seems to refute the trumpet ministrations claim iran is mobilizing groups in iraq and syria to attack american forces where his comments also seem to contradict the claim terrine is an escalating threat u.s. national security adviser john bolton has long promoted action against iran but the british general says there's little to fear there are a range of threats to american and coalition forces in iraq or syria we most of

them all about forces is clearly one of them. and i'm not going to go into the detail of it but there are a substantial number of militia groups in iraq and syria and we don't see any increased threat from many of them at the station press to explain the discrepancy gekas seem to limit his earlier remarks to a group of militia in iraq called the popular mobilization forces while some are backed by iran but the coalition considers them compliant yet later a u.s. military central command made a terrifying statement stressing iran is a threat well if both a senior british commander and america's central command share the same intelligence have similar information on terrorist locations airstrikes and danger zones how can i give statements that are so different the u.k.'s ministry of defense has distanced itself from the remarks made by the british major general claiming he spoke in the capacity of a military officer in the u.s.

led coalition in iraq and syria it added that his remarks speak about us. syfy garia not the overall geopolitical situation in the region major general great guy was speaking about the very specific area in which the u.s. led operation inherent resolve operates he wasn't speaking about the wider geopolitical situation in the region but considering the specific area he's talking about is iraq and syria you think his words might hold some weight because for the last few decades every time the alliance fights together so you'd always see caution for the british side or the americans tend to be more gung ho to share the same intelligence and if they're to blaring contradictions it doesn't really look good for the coalition obviously one of them is lying or at least it seems to be that there is clear misinformation from one side iran also dominated discussions of the russian resort of sochi by president putin and his foreign minister met with officials from china at the u.s. and the european union will bring you up to date on those talks later in the

program. u.s. department of commerce has placed the chinese tech giant huawei on a trade blacklist this comes up that comes after donald trump declared a national emergency to protect national computer networks from so-called foreign adversaries. foran of the series are increasingly creating on exposing vulnerabilities in information and communications technology and services which store and communicate vast amounts of sensitive information the executive order says that these foreign adversaries are a major national security threat of course china has said that there has been no evidence that while weight does not follow every country's laws and the huawei works directly with the chinese government which is what the u.s. is a very much concerned about this comes days after the u.s. and china failed to meet a trade deal intellectual property theft has been a huge concern of the united states from china now the u.s. has threatened time and time again countries who continue to use while way products

these chinese products and have said that they will row back on sharing intelligence with these countries who continue to do business with them australia and japan so far have been to countries who have it here to the u.s. and not using a wall way however just recently the u.k. and germany said that they would allow 5 g.'s huawei with limited access into their countries and the u.s. has already been angered by this information the u.s. bans this chinese company from doing business here in the u.s. and this can also delay then 5 g. in the race for tech and the u.s. really banning while away is critical here as china continues to fight that race for 5 g. . president trumps executive order did not specifically mention huawei but journalist dave lindorff say as the chinese phone was clearly the talkers. well i think it's pretty much talking about huawei and the 5 g.

network that they offered that you know people would like to install in the u.s. and. you know the concerns about back doors that can be put in or you know ways of monitoring people who are using their devices or their switching systems so that that's the concern that's been expressed the way i see it is that trump lakes to create a. you know a situation where there's a crisis and then he can back down if he gets you know what he wants which in this case would be a deal with china that more favorable to the u.s. so if he takes this huge company that has huge market potential in the united states and says we're not going to let you in that's a big blow to china on top of the terrorists that we're just imposed and you know

if china really freaks out over it trump can then say ok well you know give us a better deal and maybe i'll you know stop worrying so much about what way well realistically i think you know if you think about the united states which put had apple and i think microsoft put back doors in the computers that they were manufacturing so that they could monitor americans and also others who bought their equipment. you know that it can be done and. so you know the united states is actually speaking from experience because it does that kind of thing meanwhile 5 to technology will be rolled out in the u.k. this summer price of though the phone has confirmed that is that what we're reliant on quality equipment but the u.k. government has not set the final prophethood ups the company's technology. we. as a government are going through the process of making an assessment to what extent

if at all we are able to use while way kits we couldn't stop the growth of china if we wanted to so we need to find a way of living alongside this big new power in the world u.s. stocks have taken a tumble recently to take fatah tyrus the china and american farm as a losing out. the prices that we can get for our so i've been has put as. close to $2.00 a bushel below break even which is you know it's nobody can can make that last very long and stay in business. at this point we are definitely not seeing any benefits it's just pain.

however you feel about the chinese market and the way that they've treated. us trade wise in the past it's it's a fact that the chinese market is is has what has made us profitable in growing to be hopefully in the end that the trade agreement is something that is very beneficial to me as a producer here in the united states but also to the people in china. the trade agreement has to be win win or it's not going to happen. on friday washington hikes tariffs on $200000000000.00 worth of chinese goods beijing responded with similar council measure trunk claims that america is actually benefiting from the trade war with china by cashing in on import taxes had if they iowa soybean association told

us that chinese tariffs will have a severe impact on the u.s. soil beings are of really been at the but the spear if you will in the retaliation from the chinese over the u.s. trade and chinese trade dispute but it certainly impacted the corman of products from the u.s. as well as livestock particularly pork poultry and of course a host of other non agricultural products so you know this you know the any disruption in trade between the u.s. and any of its major trading partners will certainly have an impact on farmers from a soybean perspective keep in mind that china currently buy is about 60 percent of all the soybeans traded in the world 60 percent so when the u.s. says the disruption in their relationship to china it certainly has a major impact on soybeans about one out of every 3rd row worth or about a 3rd of the told to us soil being brought to piggly would end up in china course

today that's not happening. one is coming up after the break. one else so it seems wrong. why don't we all just don't call. me ali yet to say palin does the answer. and it gets really equal betrayed. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to preserve.

the to the right to be for us this is what the 43 in the morning can't be good. interested always in the white house. first should. welcome back the u.s. attorney general has launched an investigation into possible misconduct relating to the mother report and that morgan picks up the story. since 2016 the democrats have been pushing an investigation of donald trump for allegedly colluding with russia in order to win the $2016.00 elections well now the report is out and the verdict is no collusion and at this point it looks like cable news will not stop the noise

about trump and russia despite the report being released well now we've got a new investigation to cover it seems the republicans are now pushing to investigate the investigators u.s. attorney john durham he is not a rookie by far he investigated the cia and revealed that they had destroyed tapes and evidence of their torture program he also investigated the f.b.i.'s relationship with mafia boss whitey bulger so when it was announced that he would look into whether or not federal officials broke the wall when investigating donald trump the democrats got antsy so did former f.b.i. director james calming and feared personally i feared as a citizen investigate what investigate that investigations were conducted what would be the crime you'd be investigating so it's a terrible cycle to start perhaps the f.b.i. does have a reason to be concerned after all they did send an informer who posed as an assistant in order to meet with trump's aide now this informer stephon helper has

a long history in fact he was involved in cia spying during the 1980 elections trump says that his campaign was spied on however those who oversaw the operation strongly object to that wording. the dictionary definition of spawn surveillance from spying a term i don't particularly like it's not a term of war used by intelligence people it has a negative connotation of a rogue operation out of control not in compliance with the war and that's not the case at all now let's not forget that the feds clung to the now discredited steel down ca in order to apply for a warrant to surveil donald trump now a full 10 days before they applied for the warrant they were already questioning christopher steele's credibility and here's some language from a memo that surfaced. there is a technical human operation run out of moscow targeting the election payments to those recruited and made out of the russian consulate in miami it is important to

note that there is no russian consulate in miami but the intel community presented christopher steele as being credible when they applied for a warrant to spy on trump now will no doubt be looking into whether or not that is legal now let's also not forget that chuck schumer waived his fist on behalf of american spying agencies take on the intelligence community they have 6 ways from sunday at getting back after everything related to the trial for russia investigation seems to be a widely contested the words presented by one side are presented is false and by the other side amid all these allegations of dishonesty biased partisanship we are expected to believe by both wings of the establishment that what they are saying about russia and their allegations that it meddled in the 2016 elections is absolutely true. well i guess the american people will have to decide what they want to believe. r.t. new york. paris has hosted

a summit on countering online extremism in the wake of the christ shootings in new zealand part of the focus has been on facebook which failed to prevent the terrorists from live streaming the massacre and social media giant has now announced a new one strike policy anyone sharing violent content without context will be blocked facebook has also pledged $7500000.00 for research to detect banned content new zealand's prime minister called it a good 1st step. social media connects people and so we must ensure that in our terms to prevent harm that we do not compromise then target all pillar of society that is freedom of expression but that does not include the freedom to broadcast mass murder and so new zealand will present a call to action in the name of christ church asking both nations and private corporations to make changes to prevent the posting of terrorist content online to ensure its efficient and fast removal and to prevent the use of live streaming as a tool for broadcasting terrorist attacks just remind you back in march

a gunman killed 51 people in 2 mosques in christ church about 1500000 copies of the video were posted on facebook in the 24 hours that followed the live stream. we heard from privacy activist bill new media analyst leinil and anti terror expert jennifer braden they gave us their views on efforts to ban violent content on social media. you have an army not just with facebook but with twitter there's an army of contractors employees and other people who are there to immediately get it off right away as has been stated this happens with people that espouse certain political opinions and other ideologies and so now we're talking about you know we're talking about getting off far more egregious things they have this technology not only do they have that they have hundreds upon thousands of employees of contractors of people whose jobs it is to sit there and to see what's coming up and the moment something that is violent that is agree just that is horrific comes up

they can shut it down and media only monitoring no moderating in real time what these videos are and what becomes and does something some research to try and improve their ability to detect this in real time with sort of automated means which is absolutely necessary given the volume of content but the technology simply isn't up to it yet and that we need to go a long way to improve the technology so that we can have a better or do a better ability to moderates in real time using some bubble to motion the idea of somebody actually showing in broadcasting real time the slaughter of human beings make it even simpler what if this was an actual real time live stream of child pornography nobody would be even debating this i would say you've got to fix this technology and now this is nothing to do with freedom of expression nothing to do with the dissemination of ideas in no way does it violate and by the way very quickly safe book has the most incredible celerity what it comes to shutting

down and immediately knocking somebody off who are spouses a poll a little opinion just by merely supporting somebody so i don't want to hear anybody tell me that the technology is not there or there's no way to monitor this because let me tell you something if this war is something that was contrary to the zuckerberg world view. would be awful for anybody even thought it so they're dragging their feet it's nonsense and they know exactly what has to be done and they're simply not doing it to me to recognize the fact that a 1000000 copies were taken down effectively and we need to actually take a hat off to facebook the fact that it did take down so many different copies what do we do if there is a vent that is not necessarily being filmed by the perpetrator but it's already being filmed by hundreds of thousands of other people be it the olympics or the world carp or the whole joy any large gathering which is already being filmed i

mean we had a pipe bomb go off at the atlanta olympics that killed 2 people and injured a 100 if we had had small bones back then there would have been any number of different videos being all being shot civil tenuously and i say dealing with all those in real time would be almost impossible but those were the pope of perpetrators do you punish them is that reporter do you allow that what about people who are filming atrocities in miami more they're doing genuine reports do you allow that if it appears to be atrocious attacks and therefore we actually have to be slightly more realistic than saying oh facebook's got the technology it could do it come on get you move get a move on there are a far more complicated challenge in. 3 days of high profile talks have wrapped up in the russian resort city of sochi on tuesday the russian president met with the u.s. secretary of state with venezuela syria and iran up for discussion and speaking at a press conference alongside the austrian leader president putin gave his view on

how washington is playing be a wrong card. makes the decision to withdraw from any kind of a deal everyone will forget the us initiated the collapse of the deal and global opinion will be full i've said this to iran on many occasions i don't think they have any reason to withdrawal from the deal huge 3 days here in sochi very big talks high profile talks 1st we had the chinese foreign minister then the u.s. secretary of state today the president a lot of topics almost every major crisis in the world now was discussed here of course they talked about iran. in the middle east syria yemen they talked about financial markets about oil about gas you know all sorts of things but of course front and center was iran because it is

really getting into the dangerous phase now the phase where everybody fears an escalation and today putin was asked about what russia plans to do to help resolve this crisis. among them when you find brigade i cannot just go around saving everything that is around us we have played our part and we are ready and willing to play this in future but it depends not just on us but on our partners on the europeans on the us and on iran itself. the europeans the russians and the chinese have similar views and the iranian crisis they believe it's gone too far and that the best option for the world for all the countries involved is to stick to the iranian nuclear deal of $2015.00 and even the europeans have called what the united states is doing is dangerous and provocative there's an issue to look after him personally have is that any additional pressure on iran is only going to

undermine political relations even further no matter how much we argue about the probability of this happening if the u.s. continues putting pressure on iran at least for the risks of a crisis as happened in iraq several years ago and in europe no one wants that to happen unfortunately there is no easy solution to the arabian crisis but they they have talked about it not by the way was the take away yesterday when might compare with the u.s. secretary of state visited and today vladimir putin said that you know he he now has a sense that there's some willingness in washington to repair restart relations with russia they have agreed yesterday that you know they disagree on many things they also agree to start repairing various communication channels hotlines for example counterterrorism intelligence financial political dimia putin was also asked about the potential meeting with donald trump and he replied that at the g 20

summit if the americans a winning if they want to stop the serious serious you know take serious steps towards repairing relations russia is always willing there's all the world news headlines for this hour but we are back in 30 minutes with the latest stephen. international economic forum is a unique to today's business world. over the last 21 years the forum has become a leading global platform for discussing the key economic issues facing russia emerging markets and the world thousands of business community members attend a forum to address today's vital issues. special forum coverage on r.t.

. now let's just. cut. to. the surface i want to do it just show these guys do with both of you very clear right. away your food. and they have. to build. something yeah what do you how much. do you. have to look up to my left. elbow to mean that within there's you still want to

talk more next. if we ever needed an anti-war movement it's obviously now trying to hyper aggressive foreign policy faces little resistance from the mainstream media in fact numerous liberal news outlets function as a cheering section for the president where is the moral outrage. greetings and sal you take a shit with just over 530 shopping days left until the next united states presidential election it appears that the trump administration is.
