Ard earlier you know neal my colleague discussed the developments with r. T. Is donald quarter. This Prisoner Exchange was a very significant moment for the Young Political administration of ukraines president vladimir selenski and he actually went there early to the airport to visit the prisoners as they were coming down from the from the airplane to greet them and he even gave a small speech talking about the significance of this exchange for the future relations between russia and ukraine. Ukrainian president voted him are zelinsky and russian president Vladimir Putin have done everything we have promised and did not change over agreements that. Will ship and we heard this kind of sentiment echoed pretty much all over the world actually we heard the council of europe say that this was a really important step in normalizing relations between russia and ukraine we also heard from russias human rights commissioner who said this was a historic step she said and even donald trump commented on twitter he gave his congratulations to both parties involved give us a sense. Of well at the beginning it was all speculation you know there were it was unknown who the prisoners were that were blacked out windows on the buses but now we have identified them and lets go over the main ones one of the primary prisoners that was there were exchanged was ukrainian filmmaker all legs sense of now he was sentenced to 20 years in prison in russia on terrorism charges during the crimean referendum of 2014 he was accused of being part of a terrorist organization that plotted bombings of civilian installations during that time now he already served 5 years of that sentence and we saw him and identified him as he was stepping out of the airplane and today reuniting with his family and moving on to other people we saw were some sailors that were involved in the current strait incident that took place in november of last year and now those were 24 ukrainian sailors that were identified that were traded the current straight incident was when 3 ukrainian. Vessels were trying to enter the sea of oz of and they were met with the russian coastguard that warned them to turn back that they were perhaps and going to be in violation of russias territory on the high seas they gave no response and so the ukrainian vessels were fired on and seized so now that they have been returned this is a really historical moment for both russia and ukraine and perhaps a great leap forward for their future relations that have been tense to say the least we spoke by phone with harlem desir a representative of the organization for security and cooperation in europe he sees the prisoner swap as a political breakthrough. He. Doesnt see any representative on freedom of the media i closely followed this story and sighed with relief when the exchange was completed this Prisoner Exchange is an exceptional case of its kind its a political move which can hardly be underestimated now when the 2 president s that own skin putin improve their relations between them we should support further steps on a larger scale. Its a very very important 1st step president linsky said it was one of his birthdays in fact the top priority was to get the prisoners back until indicate from the very beginning even before he became president said im going to improve relations with russia and thats not thats a perfectly now and in fact hes done it so therefore changing president in ukraine has improved environment and who he from old words they can Start Talking work to do you hans republics and make progress there 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 they dont really go 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. Cringes made concessions and thats very important for the international management. The u. S. State department has admitted it trying to bribe the captain of an Iranian Oil Tanker which is at the center of a diplomatic round in order to detain it and the vessel named adrian it dial one was seized by the u. K. In july near gibraltar it was released in august despite protests from the United States it has been heading east since then and was a last detected in the Eastern Mediterranean but its tracking device and has now been switched off that is Daniel Hawkins has more on the story. 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 impounded the ship while 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 gibraltar released the vessel its a 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 not true when 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 bryan hook i work for secretary of state mike pump a 0 and serve as the u. S. Representative for iran the offer millions of dollars for captain kumar to dock his own tanker in a u. S. 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 threat 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 to this unusual strategy even adding this was no one off we have conducted extensive outreach to several ship captains as well shipping companies that some crew more meanwhile is on the us naughty list how differently this story would have ended if only captain kumar had cashed in and just arent that good news email meanwhile u. S. National security advisor john bolton has tweeted the tanker has now been seen entering a therion port in iran previously to deny that it had made any definitive statement about the ships final destination anyone who said the a. G. M. Daria one wasnt headed to syria is in denial terror and 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 and spreading terror. The fact that they try to bribe a captain of the tanker and then subsequently threaten him 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 other 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 the 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 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. In south africas biggest city johannesburg a foreign owned businesses are being looted amid a wave of anti migrant crime across the country on monday the countrys Police Minister described the situation as a National Emergency parties post here report.

Compared to centuries of chinese history 2 years is nothing unless budgets 2 years of donald trump with yet another round of terrorists being added to the us sign no trade war this last week is chinas strategy of waiting out the enemy likely to work with the current american president. Welcome back this is our chief international now the us is securing its new Embassy Compound in jerusalem with a 6 metre high wall originally the embassy received a permit to build a barrier 3. 2 meters high but recently permission was given to almost double that height and People Living in the neighborhood are outraged.

We ask the authorities in jerusalem to comment on the story and were waiting to hear back from. So the right are the fight rather against distance from ation is at the core of an upcoming book by a former u. S. State Department Official<\/a> in the Obama Administration<\/a> Richard Stengel<\/a> messages that america is losing the information war against russia and struggling to contain and counteract all sorts. Its not enough to bustle false would be the truth the truth does not always win the scale of this information was beyond what we were capable of responding to. Governments have gone from fearing the flow of information to exploiting it they understand that the same tools that spread democracy can engineer isnt doing lets face it democracies are not very good information. Richard stengel was managing editor at Time Magazine<\/a> between 20062013 before moving on to government work he served as undersecretary of state and Public Diplomacy<\/a> in affairs for 2 years his views on propaganda have evolved last year he openly supported it describing himself as chief propagandist basically every country creates their own narrative story im not against propaganda every country does it and they have to do it to their own population and i dont necessarily think its that awful. I would say theres a difference between propaganda and telling people what our policy is so i dont think it was propaganda. You know my old job at the state department was what people used to joke as the chief propaganda is job journalist and author daniel thinks that washington has a selective approach to dealing with the truth. Americans never law and even when they lie its not a lie because somehow its a its in pursuit of a higher truth and so are so stengel would never admit to admit to deceit to to painting a false portrait remember though the worse the us does terms of Foreign Policy<\/a> the greater the distance from ation that that emanates out of washington the u. S. Never changes the u. S. Is always consistent always honest always forthright and that anybody who says anything to the contrary must have it must be spreading disinformation in behalf of russia on one hand yes the us is being more openly propagandist sick on the other hand when the us does it its not propaganda its simply the truth and anything to the contrary is fake information that does it for me ill be back in lets say 35 minutes with another look at you news youre watching International Stay<\/a> with us. Join me every thursday on the alex simon show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see you then. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy on sunday shouldnt let it be an arms race is on offer and spearing Dramatic Development<\/a> only personally im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. The world is driven by shaped by one person. In a day or thinks. We dare to ask. This is this is a sticker from a water bottle phone in the stomach of a fish the brand is part of the Cocacola Company<\/a> which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that lets tell consumers there are the bad ones there the litter bugs are throwing us away industry should be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic. Nickel capsules excuse. That soon. Their plastic. Stay in your own hands at a special project to fund. All night and you guessed that dizzy end of a 46. 00 from now the mountains of waste only grow. This is. One of the most important issues if not the most important issue that humanity needs to be talking about. And we have nobody wants to talk about it because everybodys scared to talk about it Everybody Knows<\/a> that its. You know an emotional issue and such a personal you know subject. And people are scared so people just dont talk about it and its sad that. Our Species Survival<\/a> is truly dependent on us addressing this issue and if we cant even talk about it we cant even have a conversation about it then. Were in trouble. When i was studying biology at the university of california in san diego i had a bio chemistry professor that one day came into class and told all the students to close their books and said were not going to talk about biochemistry today were going to watch a film about population and i was probably about 20 years old and i remember just being well clearly devastated by what i learned in that film and i walked across the entire campus talking to my professor about human population and i really decided on that day that i didnt want to contribute to our rapidly growing population. Really every environmental issue that we face Ocean Acidification<\/a> Climate Change<\/a> habitat destruction pollution species extinction loss of biodiversity the collapse of ecosystems all of these things are accelerated by our rapidly growing population growing up i never really was planning towards having kids but i think somewhere in my mind i always thought i was going to have kids that i was going to find a wife get married and up having kids when i 1st met lonnie she kind of told me that having kids wasnt something that she was really that interested him you know i thought thats fine im good not having kids and 10 years later 14 years later you know to me it was one of the best decisions that weve made no regrets really really happy to be childfree by choice raising a child can be stressful so from from our standpoint i think another one of the possible in our relationship we get to spend more time connecting with each other and i think that thats you know for us its really important relationship i dont know necessarily that one relationship or one style of relationship is going to be better than the other because i think theres you know some people that have kids and that is their whole life and that actually brings people closer together but then on the same instance theres people who have kids and it kind of drove drives a wedge between them because they wanted to have that quality time together and thats something which they valued before they had kids and they didnt get to have that now so this is tim tim is our 3rd child he was found by my husband in a parking lot he was about 2 pounds skin and bones covered in fleas with a big hole and an abscess in one of his rear legs and so he scooped him up and we took him to the vet and he had emergency surgery he had a really rough 1st 10 weeks on the planet but its been pretty sweet ever since tom.
