7:02 am
accused u.s. national security adviser john bolton of trying to push america into a war with iran and a way that's reminiscent of another american campaign. the author of the efforts right now to get us into a war in iraq is the guy who was the architect getting goes into the war in iraq and that is john bolton so you know i worry about provocations on the part of the united states in recent days washington has taken many measures to counter what it calls a credible threat from iran the u.s. has ordered all non-emergency staff out of its embassy in iraq and also sent b. 52 bombers an air carriers to the region media reports suggest there's intelligent images of missiles on iranian boats in the persian gulf sparking fears they might be used against american troops though the images haven't been published this by the lack of clear evidence for a heightened threat from tehran washington continues to make loud noises about one
7:03 am
. threat their neighbors are spreading instability or terror everywhere we go in the middle east it's a rare ran around major destabilizing in influence in the middle east spread death destruction and chaos the leaders of iran are record here's world's largest financier of international terrorism behind every problem is a rare and what we've been trying to do is get iran to behave like global. as for john bolton and his approach to foreign policy we underwrote some of an old interview from 2010 where he admits he would lie in the name of american national security cam up and ask americans what they think about that. john bolton has a very important job keeping americans safe after all that is the job of the national security adviser and it's very important for americans to trust someone in that position john bolton wasn't always the national security adviser here's
7:04 am
something he said before he got the job if i had to say something i knew was false to protect american national security i would do it so considering that john bolton has a pretty important position in terms of influencing the president on international matters you think it might be a concern if he says things consistently that turn out to be false we decided to ask new yorkers. iran continues to seek nuclear weapons and intimidate peaceful people is that true not. true i guess that's false. so the one year period that we've talked about from the point where north korea makes to strategic decision to denuclearize is something that north and south koreans have already agreed to is that true or false false this sounds like something that's not true doesn't seem to fit right. i'm not running around the world looking for ways to create hostilities well i mean just the other quotes pretty much speak for themselves that john bolton doesn't seem to have
7:05 am
a golden record however that doesn't seem to put him in any danger of losing his job at least for now. you would lie in order to preserve the truth if i had to say something i knew was false to protect american national security i would do it fulton is the point man very little. jackal to carry this effort to for it and to topple the elected government of iran and while we can see the history in record of john bolton as being in favor of the wars from iraq to going as well it's all wrong and he's always and so the root of imperial wars abroad so from a political perspective we have to see this as a reflection of the system itself the united states they want the oil in iran and

whenever a bully wants to take something out of your position then they will allege provocations to justify that violence that they're getting ready to perpetuate. the russian embassy in washington alleges u.s. intelligence may have staged a provocation that's after a russian game's designer was detained on suspicion of trying to export u.s. fighter jet manuals an egg to shango faces up to 10 years in jail for smuggling arms documents and putting against the u.s. government and hawkins picks up the story. conspiracy to smuggle classified documents an undercover sting operation at a trail leading to russia all the ingredients for a classic james bond movie but for a leg to shouldn't go it's playing out in real life not on the silver screen with no hint of glamour the russian citizen is set to go on trial in august in the
7:07 am
united states the charges are serious conspiring against the us smuggling and violating almost export control laws and you know despite decades of stereotypes about russians mr titian co isn't a secret agent or a spy many would label him a computer nerd a guy whose passion and job was developing airplane flight simulators like this one . according to the manuals he wanted to obtain were to improve his knowledge of the jets and build them into a flight simulation game the problem is that despite the clear availability of such materials online only those with government licenses can export such manuals and because of u.s. sanctions on moscow sending them to russia is a big no no honestly it's
7:08 am
a very strange situation i don't know why the united states would allow these minerals to be sold in the 1st place if there could be used against the united states so there's a contradiction there if you can purchase them in the united states foreigners come to the united states purchase them and read them and we really did assume that statute has a huge loophole which would suggest that. someone at some level of prosecution has done so titian co was charged in absentia here back in 2016 although he was none the wiser and after traveling to ourselves. festival in neighboring georgia earlier this year he was swiftly detained and extradited at the u.s. government's request eagle dynamics the software company were a leg work for many years have distanced themselves from the whole story eagle dynamics confirms that it was not involved in any way in the actions of its employee who acted in
7:09 am
a purely private context and his own personal interests the company develops all of its d.c.'s aircraft again modules exclusively on the basis of publicly available information and has never used nor tried to taint any classified information at least the computer whiz isn't entirely alone the russian embassy in the u.s. has been following the case accusing u.s. intelligence services of carrying out a provocation the russian embassy in the u.s. is keeping a close eye on the situation surrounding the arrest of russian national teaching crew who was extradited from georgia 5 charges have been brought against him including smuggling violating the arms export control act and conspiracy against the interests of the united states there are indications that this is a provocation staged by u.s. intelligence agencies the claim isn't entirely without foundation after homeland security took an interest in titian co an undercover agent posing as a buyer of air play money alls contacted titian co to catch him out and gather
7:10 am
evidence on his nefarious activities it seems that a software designer and play in the simulation enthusiastic warranted an undercover sting operation so while tisha go faces 10 years or more of prison both simulators and fighter jet miles are available online across the world just be careful where you post them and who you talk to or lloyd. e.b. is allowing military documents to be so all they really should have a full notice of the statute that it violates so that there's no doubt that somebody who's buying him. fully understands the consequence of the american was knowingly selling something to somebody who was a russian i mean that's really something that's you know not be. loyal to your country if frankly anybody should go to jail if they could be the american and he should. chinese telecom giant wall way has warned us that there were
7:11 am
days their latest move won't make america quote more secure or stronger adding that washington could end up having to pay more for lower quality 5 g. equipment china's foreign ministry for its part slammed washington's move as disgraceful and unjust that's all after the u.s. department of commerce place huawei on a trade blacklist the decision comes hard on the heels of dell and trump declaring a national emergency to protect america's computer networks from what he describes as foreign adversaries. foreign adversaries are increasingly creating an explosive vulnerabilities in information and communications technology and services which store and communicate vast amounts of sensitive information over the past few months washington has been trying to persuade its allies to shun a war way equipment threatening it will limit intelligence sharing with those failing to comply britain america's key ally in europe is refusing to ban the chinese company out of hand saying it still hasn't made a decision
7:12 am
a slow response came earlier in march from germany let's now go live to china's economy expert professor benjamin chao what's all this going to do for america's image as a champion of the free market. well that punishing one corporation with those solid africans brings waves of fear to article creations the preludes of the free market is a clear set of rules you know it's a situation of slippery slope which could eventually bring fears to people what's the football to discrimination based on colors nationality and occupation the us inside a way that quality is subject to what is chinese government influence and that's is a security rids holly actually has an unblemished record of over 30 years in $170.00 countries which it operates and americans a close ally u.k.
7:13 am
has finally spoken up of the true of the british intelligence. that it is possible to mitigate the risk from using always in the 5 to never back to you now always says the u.s. is essentially shooting itself in the foot do you think that's the case here. where the chief architect of the british telecom said that while we is the only true 5 g. supply of right now existing on of so. the u.s. my luck behind bill using the best equipment available in the well and americans are forced to buy spend see if technologies and even in few. knowledges and in fact. the americans my choose to go to china to hatch that technology is in china and you know the to sell to china and one fundamental to the u.s.
7:14 am
legal system in the past few rounds always companies not just well it's so but anyone being treated unfairly using unconstitutional means you know to us that's all really obey to due process that's not a separate their legislative executive and judicial powers act. now as you touched on earlier not all u.s. allies are toeing the line for example germany and the u.k. how might this pan out in terms of relations between the u.s. and those allies. well the u.s. has been pushing other countries too far away from 5 g. networks australia and japan have joined the u.s. . intelligence service. expressed concerns but the u.k. and germany have indicated that they would allow highway 12 for their 5 g. network dishes that you know really spark to us but they really have the 2 options
7:15 am
left because they have to really keep costs low exposure for the manufacturing in germany and they also need to keep other business this way of china. i spit on china's economy professor benjamin child thank you so much for joining us on the program. and staying with the u.s. china trade war u.s. stocks took quite a tumble over the past few days due for the tit for tat tariffs imposed by beijing and washington on each other and american farmers are apparently among those losing out. the price that we could get for our so i've been has put is. close to $2.00 a bushel below breakeven which is you know. nobody can can make that last very long and stay in business.
7:16 am
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. 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 choice 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. last week washington hikes
7:17 am
tariffs on $200000000000.00 worth of chinese goods beijing responded with similar countermeasures trump claims that america is actually benefiting from the trade war with china by cashing in on import taxes as the head of the i was soybean association though says that chinese tariffs will have a severe impact on the u.s. . so libyans are really been at the tip of the spear if you will in the retaliation from the chinese on the u.s. trade and chinese trade dispute but it certainly impacted 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 any 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 buys spots 60 percent of all the soybeans traded in the world 60 percent so when the u.s. has a disruption in that relationship to china it certainly has
7:18 am
a major impact on soybeans about one out of every 3rd row worth or about a 3rd of the toll the u.s. oil being brought to piggly would end up in china course today that's not happening . more news after this short break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy from day shouldn't let it be an arms race is off and spearing dramatic development only loosely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.
7:19 am
shows seem wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out just to become educated and indeed trade equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. and. welcome back 5 major tech giants have committed to combating violent content online after world leaders urged them to do so are at a summit in paris that meeting was convened in response to the terror attack in christchurch new zealand which was live streamed and then widely shared over
7:20 am
facebook. terrorism foiling to extremism are complex subtle problems that require decides a response from the commitments were making today will throw the strength and the ball the governments aside to acknowledge industry must have to address this threat the tech firms have signed up to branding anyone who shares violent content without good reason they promise to follow up on material flagged as terrorists more promptly and to pay more attention to live streams in new zealand 10 people have been charged for sharing the video of the christchurch massacre just to remind you back in march a gunman killed 51 people and 2 mosques there the video was uploaded some 1500000 times on facebook and the 24 hours that followed the live stream we discuss who should shoulder responsibility for removing bad content platforms our users with privacy activists build new media analyst lionel and rights attorney jennifer brief . you have an army not just with facebook but with twitter there's an army of
7:21 am
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 monitoring or moderating in real time what these videos are and what becomes and is funding 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 the idea of somebody actually showing in broadcasting real time the slaughter of human beings i 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
7:22 am
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 you need to recognize the fact that a 1000000 copies were taken down effectively and we need to actually take the ads off to facebook the fact that it did take down so many different copies what do we do if there is an event 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 cup 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 video. let me tell you slowly and actually dealing with all those in real
7:23 am
time would be almost impossible but the perpetrators do you publish them is that report told do you allow that what about people who are filming atrocities in 1000000 more they're doing genuine reports do you allow but if it appears to be atrocious a tux of the 4 we actually have to be slightly more realistic i'm saying the technology could do it come on get you move get a move over there as a formal complicated challenges they have i do believe and i know that 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 in the moment something that is violent that is agree just that is horrific the horrific thing about this is that we are now given social media giants like facebook and twitter a very very severe amount of power that was supposed to only be a spouse of the us government federal government and state governments under the 1st amendment and now it's as if social media giants and platforms like facebook or
7:24 am
twitter have taken over the you know what you guys have your 1st amendment governments you can't do anything we're the ones who dictate your speech now that's dangerous and that's something that needs to be consistently watched 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 it 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. tensions between the u.s. and germany are on the rise over the nord stream to gas pipeline berlin says it won't be counted by washington's threats. does was become what i'm does me most here is that german companies and other european companies that want to build this pipeline are being threatened and told that they won't be able to do business in the us if they take part these are extra territorial sanctions that go beyond the
7:25 am
u.s. they go against international law and in my opinion a completely unacceptable america is acting in this case like germany is its colony this is something i don't want to happen and we need to prevent this at all costs. joining us now live is peter all over from the russia e.u. energy conference in berlin peter what are the germans so upset about. hello. well you heard from mr ernst there he's heads up the burn the stand committee looking into nord stream to he's been very vocal on the subject of what he sees really as the united states sticking its or into germany in europe's business when it comes to where they get their energy from we've heard a number of speakers up on the stage just behind me everybody's on a break right now for lunch but we've heard speakers there talking about the need for a reliable source of energy from a source that it's well they've worked with for many years and that's what they're looking at with russia particularly when you look at germany's policies that
7:26 am
they're looking to put into place the the great energy switch. was set to see nuclear power phased out completely in journey by 2022 and coal power by the end of the 20 thirty's now what we've been hearing is not really an impossible target unless germany well it's use of natural gas and that's where north stream 2 comes into it it will provide an extra 55000000000 cubic meters of natural gas direct from russia into germany every single year. continuing along with the north stream pipeline that's already in place however the critics of the project are equally as vocal as those that supported particularly those coming from the united states we've heard from senator ted cruz of texas who's backing a bill that would see extra sanctions put in place on companies that are working laying the pipe right now in the baltic sea that's going to transport that extra gas that we understand that there may well be sanctions put in place in the form of
7:27 am
these are bombs for executives of companies that are building that a freeze on assets in the united states they belong to that company also penalties put on united states companies that insure those those vessels that are currently laying the pipes and that's also being repeated and what we've heard coming from the u.s. ambassador here to germ. richard grinnell he's pulled no punches at all saying that the u.s. will sanction people that get involved with north stream to. from american point of view that by a blow is not just transporting gas but president cruise sanctions. well we've also heard from another u.s. ambassador here in europe that somebody to gordon sunderland who's the ambassador to the european union earlier he was speaking to a crowd in brussels in which he said there was that europe should source its energy from democratic sources not undemocratic sources like russia i put that to you
7:28 am
where ernst he was certainly unequivocal in his response saying it was absolute nonsense but ultimately what we're hearing from here at the gas conference in berlin is that no matter what pressures put on by the united states this is a deal that is going to get done it's a project that's going to get finished it may well end up upsetting some people along the way but billions of already being invested in it it is required for germany to meet its energy needs as it looks to move away from fossil fuels like coal and also move away from nuclear power they're going to have to replace that with something and they saying here that they have to replace it with gas participator over there. that's our global news update for this hour thank you. whenever politicians day or business going to work around it it's stupid to support
7:29 am
a politician to say they're going to impose a tax or oppose the regulation because the redskin just move right around it is easy as pie if you're listening any want to be wealthy want to be a rich understand that if you know how to read a balance sheet and you know how to read the recent legal guidelines you can be rich and it's almost like falling off a log if you can't figure that out is because you either cannot read or you are incapable of math simple math that's it that's the bottom line because. it's not that just. the 1st i want to do it is just show the phrase do with really be very true your place go away go to. management.
7:30 am
and they have. given you need to feel this any. such yeah what do you how much they have. to let us come to mind if this was actually my domain that we could measure the cost more next. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the book different groups on one hand it is logical to sort of go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i want to the new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to surprising.
