A cause of course as. National coming to you live from the russian capital where its just turned 4 pm welcome to the program. Britains Defense Ministry has launched an investigation into why and how a trove of top secret documents apparently ended up in a trash bin in london it comes as a huge embarrassment for the u. K. s top secret tunnel weapons facility porton down from where the thousands of files originated by book reports. One mans trash another journalists treasure in this case it is quite an extraordinary story the daily star newspaper big splash on it today they say they were alerted to this trove of documents found in a bin by a member of the public last week and this secret files were dumped in a north london we leave in a receipt killing bin to be precise the kind that sort of stands out on the street outside a residential building or a commercial one and people will waste inside it except that this wasnt wasted it was a massive hole thousands of pages reportedly detailing the password and home address of one. Details of the patrol offices duties there at portadown and the newspapers quoting all sorts of unnamed security sources talking about how appalled they are at this breach of security thats taken place one referred to all this as a terrorists dream and it could have only ended that it could have ended in contrast rifi they were commenting there are calls for an inquiry now and the ministry of defense has already responded to the story with this statement take a listen we take the protection of personal data very seriously and we have a range of procedures in place to do so including complying with the Data Protection act we also expect 3rd parties who legitimately hold data to apply similar stricter protections we can confirm that an investigation has been launched into the alleged incident and the reason this is raising eyebrows is because porton down is a top secret Government Chemical Laboratory is at the front line of the fight against biological and chemical weapons and the government conducts Extensive Research that. Into all sorts of substances it was in the news quite a bit last year because it was the all story see that determined what the substance which substance it was that was used in the poisoning of the gay and script how that was a huge scandal which so the British Government accused russia of orchestrating the attack against the double former double agent and his daughter but porton down really coming to the fore then and it was pivotal in determining that this nerve agent was know of a child that was used against the 2 and of course it is just such a secret lab that its in charge of some pretty Hazardous Materials so the fact that any documents have been disposed of from a government site in this way found in a london been 70 miles away from the facility itself will be of concern to both the ministry of defense and to Intelligence Services here i think porton down should invest in a shredder. Theres been plenty of controversy over the u. S. Independence Day Celebrations which saw trump claiming that the u. S. Army took over airports in the 19th century lets have a look at some of the events highlights. We will never forget that we are america. Should. Work. Building the United States of america. To let me mandir. The ramp up to go to the airport to shoot everything good that is. Fort mchenry under the rockets red glare and nothing but the extreme cold constant static on the tip over that you have for sure and the battle really feels more than 100 to 20 years before the 1st chance like. That brings it in from finally feeling that control of the airplane was key to success during the ceremony feel stories have been ignored hes listened. To the. Democrats and parts of the media have slammed the appearance of military hardware in the capital accusing donald trump of militarizing the event and using it for political gain ahead of next years election. Were going to have planes going over it the best fighter jets in the world and other planes to. Have some time stationed outside a q q to make it into the more it seems to be harder for a combination of trump railway. Starry old military parade or pro forward of course but its just to see beauty and has learned that some military chiefs have expressed reservations about politicizing the july 4th celebration concerned about the tanks and Armored Vehicles on displaying. The teachers. Want to. Keep the peace. Thats a force that makes sense. To. Be. Curious to see marine major battle trying to combat their cold arkansas. Q. But while people were upset about the tank parade on Independence Day if you are concerned about the sheer scale of American Military power the u. S. Has been involved in 7 conflicts since 2001 and has already. He says in over 30 countries last year u. S. Military spending swelled to 649000000000. 00 meanwhile it seems feelings of patriotism in the us are in decline and according to gallup polls they have been since 2003 this year the number of people proud to be american has dropped to 70 percent sara flounders head of the International Action center says the theme of this years parade reflects washingtons policies everyone know this and why its right and its also what casting more than 800. 00 u. S. Military bases around the world outside that threaten countries one after the other and the unvarnished cost more than 65 percent of all of all u. S. Senators less expenditures the federal government blow the military machine at a very time when interest rocher Health Care Education is on the client and when the gap between rich or just tired of it any time in us history. Something else the us military has been showing off is a special phone to alert the head of the us air force and theres going to be a nuclear war he assured americans that the country is ready for the eventuality referencing russia to make his point should meet with a Nuclear Power and im going to primarily use russia as my example today as the most Dangerous Nuclear threat we face a fully expects 3 lights to lights up on my red switch phone in the office the 1st step in the nightmare scenario would be to team up with nato which he called 1st and foremost a Nuclear Alliance to send bombers next would be to order the north American AerospaceDefense Command to intercept incoming missiles and finally the deployment of Nuclear Submarines for a massive 2nd strike journalist Martin Sommer says its a pentagon ploy. Youve got to remember the military Industrial Complex in the west is a money making machine primarily. As they know that russia has upgraded its Nuclear Arsenal because it had to really because of basically the. You know short range Nuclear Weapon straight in their face if you imagine if the russians were to apply support to similar weapons into cuba we know what happened in london 6263 when that happened. So the they they are basically wanting to spend more money on more Nuclear Weapons so theyre basically this is a basically a sales pitch the real threat of nuclear war is definitely there but talking about it like this is more for public consumption than anything else its supposed to reassure people but if you read between the lines its not very reassuring its all its going to suggesting that its come before these wars can be fought and won a lot would realize years ago thats thats impossible. Who will soon be replaced as e. U. Commission president has criticized the way his likely successor was picked by block leaders addressing the media and how think he compared the way he and ursula bonna lime were nominated. Bruces forces look very transcript. Book the process which led to my Movie Mission to those unfolded was very transparent because we had literally dates everyone you worked with up if youre the pope the would be the shortest power to do people and its a vision to come back to unfortunately did become a tradition. Were now joined from berlin bar by our correspondent peter oliver peter whats behind these comments. Right well 1st of on the line is behind these comments and how shes being nominated for the position of European Commission president to take over from john claudia incoming steps down at the end of october shes really split opinion with this nomination that you see from the European Council at the heads of government of the 28 Member States of the e. U. Domestically her record as defense minister has been raked over quite extensively with many people pointing out the state of germanys military at the moment is well at its lowest ever that its been for a long time the bundeswehr quite often being the the butt of many jokes about planes that dont fly guns that dont fire boats that dont sail in submarines that cant submerge the european level though its been a big criticism of the way in which she was nominated for the position a lot of talks about well echoing what we heard from john clode young saying it was far from well transparent. Because it doesnt have the right to ignore all the candidates that have been voted for by european citizens the future of europe can no longer be decided behind closed doors the speech uncandid process is not about one person or one name the citizens of europe want to elect the person who is governing europe this is not revolutionary this is democracy bonder laim is our weakest minister thats apparently enough to become Commission President it is an unparalleled act of political trickery vanderlei and should 1st be nominated by germany before other e. U. States can induce the nomination and should also leave office 1st otherwise it turns it all into a theater and the elections into one big fast. Well theyre all so that all supporting. The line theyre praising the fact that a woman has been nominated for the 1st time for they say well what some would regard as the top job in european politics as Commission President theres also been support from World Leaders from european leaders who said praised her you wrote credentials. Was enough on the names of wonder lane as many of the european level know her and then appreciate her experience her as a defense minister and therefore and convinced there will be a clear support from the European Peoples Party and hopefully this is well. If in the if wonderingly and feels to be elected as head of the commission by the Parliament Europe risks a possible constitutional crisis so i find it a very charming idea its a piece of europe it will be female in the future as. Well the polling here in germany doesnt really tally with what i think it was just saying there 56 percent of people here dont think that sort of on the line is the right person for the job of European Commission president in fact 71 percent of those polled in germany said the way in which she was nominated was and rightly that they would rather see paul and pick who would be the the Commission President as it is parliament gets to vote on the nomination put forward by the European Council as were seeing at the moment in the vote will take place on the 16th of july the European Parliament voting on whether the line will be the next year a peon Commission President ial needs an absolute majority in the europol of it if thats to be so. Peter all for i think you for bringing us that report thank you anger over the way that you use jobs are being filled led to some heated exchanges in strasburg with one brush that party m. E. P. Using the debate as an occasion to justify the u. K. s divorce from the e. U. Using remarks about slavery that many have found offensive. The best thing for britain is to leave here is soonest possible it was the way that the user lections were conducted yesterday because if that is filled spaces on idea of double cross c. Then that is a serious b. Trial of every country that is represented here to the coli. With the old busy my. Excuse will just say that. We will not state the leadership question from you fair is a pattern consistent throughout history of oppressed people turning on the oppressive slaves against their own notice the peasantry against the feudal barons koehler lays midst of a half stock take a sour m. And that is war i right now is evening thank you what you heard from the back corner does not represent the views of everyone in the United Kingdom thanks what you go here thats why were going to have that fear again where all. Telecom europe and russia should return to a normal relationship without think sions president Vladimir Putin and italys premier just happy content conclude after talks all round starting more after the break. Something wrong with being rich and being rich is nothing wrong with it people work hard they make a lot of money and for a lot of people thats very satisfying but when you become a patients monopolist and you are heading up like in the pharmaceutical industry one or 2 or 3 major kratz collusion colluding monopolist and all of us pricing thats not right thats time around and. Welcome back europe and russia should go back to good relations without sanctions thats the message from the News Conference a bomber putin and italys leader just have become to who struck in a motive but optimistic note. Approach the time the sanctions could be lifted or extended always because so much could be achieved and the situation could be so much better. But you may wish to understand that italy is bound by certain obligations within various integration structures both in europe and therefore we have no special claims to i talian friends bucks we hope will consistently fight for what was repeatedly said publicly namely for a full fledged return to normal relations between russia and europe as a whole new sanctions were not the only topic on the agenda they touched on an issue of particular concern for italy the conflict and thereby libya leaders also called for a diplomatic solution to the political crisis in venezuela earlier on thursday putin visited the vatican for a meeting with the pope its the 3rd time that russias president has met with pope francis after talks in 20132015. We cannot go straight to mari marie in a professor of politics of Eastern Europe at italys university and gen welcome to the program now condi and putin referred to the huge bilateral financial loss from sanctions how much more must the e. U. Before it changes that. Well theyre difficult to say that there will be any kind of change and to tell the truth its not the 1st time that it is spatially under a. Premiership a traitor to say in the european context that it was needed to have such kind of sanctions there yellow green government recently showed explicitly that there would be there would need at sheen change in policies against russia at the moment or we have to also consider that the Italian Government is very and strongly is related in the european context so it would be difficult to support such a trip such a russian name of course so when it comes to their isolation is there anything it really can do to change brussels mind or sanctions or anything else for that matter what show how it important how important is economic and not only cultural and political relations with russia at the moment im also york in congress have a lot are of. With rash of the problem is that to there is no collision the European Commission and european approach to the russian the matter of the russian question still in there are few countries that can support such kind of the situation that at the moment to really realize the depth of the. Small signal of risk story in the russian within the council of europe that maybe this is the 1st step to arts every consideration of the russian rollie and the sanctions in the european context. Do you think that other e. U. States offer secretly wish to have better relations with moscow. Well you know all debt historically and culturally and not only economical also the german countries but also other countries a little late to have been too stressed in the garage with a rash that there are as it was said before there are obligations so there are european levels so this is the 1st obstacle political obstacle and the political struggle within the european context in the short term of that would be me based on the signals of improvement such kind of a collaboration so we will see if these are will happen to live under new. Premiership and the new role of the European Commission or of. Was recently in egypt and we will see if it will be elected in argument marm or any of the protests are planned acts of Eastern Europe at the university of genoa i thank you for your time and your comments.
