Pick up one sunday night i dont think local think. They played himself and played speed. Schools because the people. Of middle the runs. From moscow to the world this is our Team International one welcome to the program and. We begin with breaking news on the program a historic step 70 prisoners are swapped in a Major Exchange between russia and ukraine. And it comes after months of talks lets go live to dallas who is out of our airport in moscow where 35. 00 prisoners arrived a little time earlier in what do we know about who was aboard and have they had the chance to speak to the media yet as well. Well you know 2 buses especially motorcade have left this terminal. Lights at the back now good sci fi people only those buses swapped for an equal amount over ukrainians now it has been a very very Long Time Coming and hes going to be in plenty of false alarms and well full School Boards and people have been expecting this for a very very long time and that is a wrap up for a very long and they very prochoice now speaking about people on board the plane that landed just a few 100 meters behind me behind about behind those gates and in turn left this terminal on those buses one of them is a real push in steve he spent more than 400 days in ukraine in jail without a guilty verdict he was accused of state treason by putting in jail for the time of the trial and for all those more than 400 days russia has been adamant that he should not stay in prison until hes officially found guilty by court so he was released on bail few weeks before today and now he was put on the list of all those people who are ukraine still for 35 people against those 5 people of their own now he did have a chance to tour to people to the media to journalists who were allowed on the strip and here is some of the here the 1st words basically he said when he. That here. Yes you know i know how all of you worried about me and thanks a lot for that i feel that i was not alone i feel that i have people who are member me to try to do something for me now because of you i am. Because im a journalist who was unfairly arrested but you. Know exactly real Defense Attorneys no we wouldnt every person he was had that he was head of the Ukrainian Branch of the be a noble state news agency and that was that was that he says that the case against him was politically motivated and that would lead to him that was what landed him in that trouble and now another person on board was a different some up and that he was one of the feeling among. The youth and thats republican fact he was one of the county air force commanders from what we know and the dutch led investigation into the mh 17 tragedy believes that hes he is a key witness at the proces hes a key witness into what happened back in 24 we see hes in russia again and the ukrainian president for the most wins he said that if the dutch investigators got a chance they had a chance and they talked to they basically interrogated they questioned i should say the question. Before he was released and sent over to russia now this was a very long process and the Russian Foreign ministry has already reacted saying that this is an important step in relations for the relations between russia and ukraine and indeed a lot of people agreeing with that they see this is a very positive sign not just for these people who were small but back safely not just for russia and ukraine but in fact for the whole of for the whole country of ukraine for the rule thats going on in the east of the come. They see it as a very positive step towards an implementation of the minsk agreement and finally bringing peace to ukraine. Thanks for taking us through all valid to be just imagine the hugs from the. Children the parents after years abroad can too thank you very much for igor is that the nick of our International Airport yet not to one side that was the russians coming but of course the prisoner swap and all the other side as well double quarter is across the outside of the vellum force indeed like in moscow 35 prisoners have arrived within the past couple of hours what kind of welcome awaited them well you know the russian human rights commissioner was certainly correct when she said that this was a historic moment not just for russia but for ukraine as well the ukrainian president vladimir selenski came to greet the prisoners as they filed off the plane and he even gave a short speech talking about this exchange is important for the future relations between russia and ukraine. Ukrainian president bull dimmers alinsky and russian president Vladimir Putin have done everything we have promised and did not change over agreements that. We. See if you will ship. Igor dunn was going through some of the. Props the bigger names that have come back or are more that we would be familiar with on the russian side on the ukrainian side at what do we know about the wall at the beginning there was a lot of speculation about who these people could have been because it was very mysterious at 1st nothing was confirmed but we do now have confirmation on their identities and just to give everyone a quick overview of the major names we had ukrainian filmmaker all legs sense although he was sentenced to 20 years in prison in russia for for terrorists plotting during the crimean referendum of 2014 he was accused of. Using homemade bombs to to do a terrorist attack and he actually already served 5 years of his sentence but was released in identified as he filed out of the plane reunited with his family was probably a very emotional moment for all of them there were also identified 24 ukrainian sailors who were involved in the curch very recent incident as well right relatively recent wasnt actually here it just happened in november of last year and just to give our viewers a bit of background about that it happened in november like i said and it was when 3 ukrainian vessels were trying to pass through the current straight into the sea of as all of they were stopped by the russian coast guard who told them to turn around they were in about to violate russian waters and after receiving no response the ships were fired on and seized by the russian coast guard so 24 of those ukrainian sailors were returned and this is so this is really a historical moment you know for both russia and ukraine and it happened only in the span of a couple hours certainly fascinating yeah after months though of course of behind the scenes wrangling the talks for it to get to this moment as we were saying you can just imagine the embrace of that was many many families and those. Return paper from both sides finally meet up thank you very much for now thats a story we will of course be returning to its right day for all the latest updates but for now lets get a crack on more world news the u. S. State department has confirmed it attempted to bribe the captain of the Iranian Oil Tanker the adrian daria one which is out the center of a diplomatic row in order to detain it lets go through what we know about this the daria one previously known as grace one was held by the u. K. In july in gibraltar it was released in august the spy protest from the United States which is increasing pressure on iran its been heading east since then and was pinpointed in the Eastern Mediterranean region but its tracking device we believe has now been switched off heres arties hawkins if at 1st you dont succeed try and try again so keen with u. S. Authorities to get their hands on a rainy and. They used everything at their disposal 1st came the stick accusing the tiger of moving the world to syria in breach of sanctions they went to the u. K. For help the british marines a pound of the ship but it was passing through the strait of gibraltar the Spanish Foreign minister said the arrest came after a demand from the u. S. To the u. K. But on 15th of august to brawl to release the vessel its at sail into the mediterranean a few days later after being renamed from grace one to adrian daria one then came the carrot weve all had one of those emails im writing to you with good news what might you expect a surprise lottery win perhaps a huge inheritance from a long lost royal Family Member in africa well thats exactly the email that the ships captain received but this wasnt the regular spam for the junk folder this came direct from the state department this is brian hook i work for secretary of state mike pump a. O. And serve as the u. S. Representative for iran the offer really ns of dollars for captain kumar to dock his own tanker in a us friendly port that would allow it seizure by washington after the possibly confused captain failed to reply a 2nd email hit his inbox the tone now less friendly with this money you can have any life you wish and be well off in old age if you choose not to take this easy path life would be much harder for you what lay behind this thinly veiled threats was left to his imagination to ron was understandably roiled having failed at piracy the us resource to outright blackmail deliver us irans oil and receive several 1000000. 00 or be sanctioned yourself sounds very similar to the oval office invitation i received a few weeks back it is becoming a pattern incredibly the state department confirmed of this unusual strategy even adding this was no one off we have conducted extensive outreach to several ship captains as well shipping companies taps and kumar meanwhile is on the us naughty list how differently the story would have ended if only captain kumar had cashed in and just arent that good news email. Or meanwhile u. S. National security advisor john bolton has tweeted that the tanker has not been seen entering a syrian port to run previously denied it made any definitive statement by the ships final destination. Anyone who said the adrian daria one wasnt headed to syria is in denial terror on thinks its more important to fund the murderous assad regime than provide for its own people we can talk pretty runs not getting any sanctions relief until it stops lying in spreading terror. The fact that they try to bribe a captain of the tanker and then subsequently threaten them is extraordinary and it should be something that people in the United States. Will be kept talking about day and night but there are also out there issues as well bolton wants to intimidate iran and the very fact that he has failed and the supertanker is alongside the syrian shore reveals that failure so hes outraged at another level he wants to make this Syrian People suffer as much as possible because thats been u. S. Policy for many years now and on the other hand he wants to. Prevent iran from carrying out trade with other countries to bullying and threats and illegal behavior so there are multiple reasons for the u. S. Behavior towards iran towards syria and towards the all independent countries but i think its only harming the United States in the long run because the United States is increasingly seen as a rogue regime. Ok i want to bring you know to south africas biggest city johannesburg where foreign owned businesses are being looted amid a wave of xenophobic tensions across the country on monday the countrys polisi minister described the situation as a National Emergency policy reports now from a city where foreigners say theyre increasingly living in fear. You mean shifty in johannesburg which. Has seen some of the worst violence against foreigners south africa as you can see here lets take kids what they can to stop that was owed by non because thats not where all of that it can be any moment now the entire building can come tumbling down because really hammering out the structure now the mood on the ground is better but agee we dont feel under the same comfortable filming weve been told about ono is nowhere to be seen and no doubt he is trying to stay as far away from these kind of scenes as possible because one still gets to see that b. Situation has not returned to complete calm i know its hard to believe but this was a bottle store one of the questionnaires working there was who comes from zimbabwe what actually happens make up one stone being made to have around its old will be in the great vision of the dead north up was that you said monday night the big gone by then they been. Implementing a lot from a global moment the big dig between the thames to stand. Across the road here is alan who owns a Hardware Store and when did you ever think that you would see these kind of scenes happening so close to a business own for she will bring some of the fords and crews of them. With similar experience to the chemists secret coming to your room. For most of last year wonderful the room what do we do with which is a lot of loot or books for families with weve read from. Do you think showing your South African identity pretext to you is going to give you this week or the why what happened are you going to go look close the emotional gun law deal little are the police and the government doing enough given that were not doing enough or the norwegian government would be lonely government to go on a more global good will remove all the ones we both would lose all due to the problem its not just foreign owned stores that were targeted here you can. See a 2nd hand car dealership that was broken into and the cars say to lifes not a result has been offered by the nigerian Foreign Ministry for any nigerians living in this country who feel unsafe to be able to fly back home for free this is the worst spate of them a phobia of violence that south africa has witnessed since 2008 police is to most adjacent some 8 people have been killed and more than 300 have been detained as we say the violence a sad reflection on what where he is and tenable situation. Where you from the World Trade Center be in south africa the flow you of girls the girls the people thought the good will last sunday in no good mood of middle demands of youre given to be given the blows and how many years even something good idea is to say you stop at your school. And now you have no business no move this thing you should move it is feeling like you compare the cost to a family all the more over how this shop which has been completely boarded up was owned by nigerians and there is no way here to be seen of course they are very afraid the shop is completely solid but this shop too has been looted also owned by nigerians lock on the door completely sealed up so people hear differently afraid that the violence will continue you welded up the shops why played with the hollywood and did they take everything from go go. And where all the nigerian owners in the foreign owners all got on the world are they thinking to be for a country they wrote your book or do is talk of the great good. Ever quest went out today for nigerians in the country who want to be free of charge i able to do so and there is at least one flight today leaving at this stage the situation is extremely untenable and stevo and i continue being on the streets theres a lot of uncertainty so when we what what will happen remains to be seen in our Team Johannesburg will the head of the province where journalist berg is located insists the situation is no under control. I am confident that the police on top of this situation. I have said if the police. Are not coping i would have asked the south African Defense force must rainfalls the police but so far they are dealing with the situation in all the top provinces column whereby with reaction to todays breaking news the historic prisoner swap be tween russia and ukraine we get into that in about a minutes time. Compared to centuries of chinese history 2 years is nothing unless budgets 2 years of donald trump with years another round of terrorists being added to the u. S. Trade war this last week chinas strategy of waiting out the enemy likely to work with the current american president. With. Public wealth. When the ruling classes protect themselves. In the final. Week nor middle of the room. We return with our breaking news story this hour and major prisoner swap has been completed between russia and ukraine after months of talks 35 people have been swapped by each side moscow and kiev are all the move an important step towards improving relations well lets get some political analysis Mark Mccauley who has long studied russian a 1st joins us live on the program good to see you martin is the prisoner swap pivotal as the 2 countries say it is is it likely to herald a new chapter after years as we well know a fraught relations. Its a very very important 1st step and president selinski said it was one of his priorities in fact the top priority was to get the prisoners back because there were 24 rather ukrainian sailors who were taken to custody trying to traverse the strait and i called it went over in ukraine and also brought in someone and he said we want these people back and then the russians said well we want some people back as well and one of the most important people whos moving from ukraine to russia is a relatively a team of. Whom the ukrainians are going to put him on trial you know cuba. Accused of having some connection to the inmates 17. Shooting dollars a Dutch Airline as you know the dutch will be very disappointed by that because they want him to stay in ukraine and to in fact be questioned further hes not a suspect but they wanted to talk to him and the fact that hes gone back means that the ukrainians have made a concession which is an important one because they wanted to normalize relations with russia because theres only way one way that ukraine could develop politically and economically national normalising has replaced. What morris would have been told if you think this prisoner swap under the previous ukrainian president at reporter shingo. No because he he took a very hard line toward russia and he was in many ways very very very pro growth pro american and then american he went along with the American Life and zealand kid from a very beginning even before he became president said im going to improve relations with russia and thats not thats a pro to me and in fact hes done it so therefore changing president in ukraine has touched improved environment and who he from no old words they can Start Talking work to do lives can you hans republics and make progress now this swaps being praised by the consul of europe might the effects be felt beyond russia and ukraine. Was a 1st step and it shows that both russia and ukraine. And russia can go to a rival in 3 d. Because russia been vilified in the west especially in the United States saying you can renegotiate with russia. Because they have their position and they dont give it up and it really goes this is a demonstration that russia can negotiate it wishes to improve relations with ukraine and hopefully this will spread throughout europe this is the 1st step russia russia has made concessions. Printers made concessions and thats very important for the international bottom and martin always great to get your take thank you for your time Martin Mccauley political analyst on Russia Affairs expert thank you. And neighborly spots over a wall residents of a jerusalem neighborhood are in range by an almost 6 and meter tall barrier thats being built around the new u. S. Embassy there they say it will block their view of the area originally the American Embassy received a permit to build a wall 3. 2 meters high. However they were also recently authorized to nearly double that height locals are urging that construction be halted. Very upset i come out my house and i want to be able to see the view over the desert i dont want to look at a big stone wall the imodium it i go to one morning and saw them doing demolition and construction work so i asked what was happening and they said they were making the wall higher why would they do that doesnt exist seymour high enough what was the problem the wall now froze entire view from my house. Were very upset we are part of a group of neighbors were trying to see what can be done to stop this i mean like consulting with us its going to block our view its going to block i dont know if i was uncomfortable corey door and we dont want to live with that. In may last year the United States embassy was relocated to jerusalem after the trial but ministration recognized the city the capital of israel the owner of a jerusalem based Construction Company says the new wall is a blight on the. I understand that the American Embassy is requested to build a wall 5. 8 meters high but the maximum height of a wall in jerusalem according to the authorities is 3. 2 meters 5. 8 meters is too much and they disregarding the neighbors there are many beautiful houses here in the center of jerusalem and a wall like that would be an eyesore and your residence certainly not happy with that we have reached to israeli authorities for comment on the story we will share with you assuming we get a response. Right that is how a suddenly afternoons news roundup looks for her life from her hits q. In moscow this is r. T. Financial survival. Housing bubble. Oh you mean theres a downside to artificially low Mortgage Rates dont get carried away thats concert report. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy to let it be an arms race. Very Dramatic Development only really. I dont see how that strategy will be successful ready. To sit down and talk. This was broadcasting around the globe and covering the world of business and finance in the fall under and im kristie im in washington has a look out what weve got for you today. The days take away toward the hollowing deadline and tensions are rising. Theres a contest going to make sure that we come out of the e. U. Or the 31st and there are people who play. To block.
