program today gunfire erupted on washington's capitol hill for a woman who ran right into the security barricades of the white house a police open fire in pursuit of a suspect who was killed in the shootout. was at the. but we are just blocks away from the capitol police say the scene is secure after a dramatic high speed chase and eventually huge day it started according to authorities at the white house where the suspect tried to ram through a security barrier and that is what led to this high speed chase which ended up around this area near the capital of then chile police say that shots rang out into areas that the suspect the female suspect is dead here's some more on what capitol police had to say a rough sketch of to make a stop because she sure pulled. the vehicles aided him they continued on behind us that was just an avenue it appears are all sure in

a chimp to shoot digital. barricade. did leave the vehicle stop to check in maryland northeast where we were able to get you just as she was such a united states secret service united states capitol police. suspect . we do know was struck by gunfire at this point has been pronounced wealth ortiz a confirmed that there was a one year old child inside of that card they did say that that child is unharmed and is in custody they also confirm that at least one officer was was injured during this ordeal it's believed that all or most of those shots were actually from police trying to stop this suspect i spoke to some eyewitnesses today that said that they heard these gunshots ring out police were around there with guns drawn in

the car backed up slammed in it already turned around was taking off back along the road itself side near the front and that's why that's when the shots occur so authorities say that this is an isolated incident and believe that it is not tied to terror. they know right now again it is actively under investigation a lot of details still unclear at this point here in washington. where we spoke to a former l.a.p.d. officer and investigative journalist michael ruppert he's been involved in similar incidents and he believes the police were left no other options but to shoot the subs suspect. this was a life and death deadly situation when i saw the driver making irrationally aggressive moves with a five thousand pound vehicle i've been in positions like that now i in fact as a police officer was in a shooting when someone was chasing me with a vehicle trying to run me down. this was this was irrational driving eighty five

miles an hour and clearly those and i'm from washington d.c. this was something that had to be stopped and if you have a look at this map right here we can show you exactly how the chase unfolded ultimately starting at the white house the suspect advances all the way to the capitol building right here ramming a secret service vehicle on her way and coming then police fire the chase ended with the car reaching security barriers where the driver was shot dead by police officials saying the shots were fired in order to stop the suspect a human rights activist dr mark mason believes that the police a reaction to this was well over. given the fact that we have an arm female the police have come forward and say that she was unarmed there was an infant in the car. there was no gun fire of any kind that came from the car at any time

a lot of questions need to be asked i think that there is reason to believe that the police in washington d.c. we overreacted that there are alternatives to respond to situations short of deadly force in a speeding car you couldn't there's a variety of ways it's stopping them the tires have the air on them they can be punctured by gary screen. in front of the vehicles they can shoot out the tires that they have these things that they don't have a lot of time all this whole situation is that the police had no evidence that she had any gun and she had not used any weapon at all she was using a vehicle that vehicle must receive attention yes of course i know we are closely following this story for you here on r.t. you can also had online where we've got all the latest developments on photos from the scene of the shooting. and the capitol shooting comes as the spotlight is

already firmly fixed on washington and will make a struggling to fix the budget amid warnings of default piling up that's still ahead for you on the program. for the meantime here in the cia contract a time to whistleblower edward snowden should be on a hit list rather than a list of names recently nominated for a prize of freedom of thought that was a joke made by former n.s.a. director michael hayden is human has not been raising smiles everywhere even spotting a wave of criticism he told. he was misunderstood. well speaking at a washington post panel discussion on a cyber security former n.s.a. director general michael hayden joked about putting added words snowden on a list that has very little to do with human rights or honorable recognition america's former spy chief eg knowledge that snowden an n.s.a. whistleblower has been nominated for

a human rights award and then reportedly said quote i must admit in my darker moment over the past several months i'd also thought of nominating mr snowden but it was for a different list unquote some journalists including brendan sasso from the hill blog have interpreted mr hayden's words to mean putting snowden on america's kill list now general hayden confirmed to me that the quote is correct but he claims that his words have been misinterpreted and he never proposed for snowden to be put on any assassination list but some would argue that this is probably the worst time for any former or current top u.s. official to even speak sarcastically about putting snowden on a list and that's because journalists jeremy scahill and glenn greenwald are currently working together on a joint investigation on how the u.s. national security agency has been involved in the wider overseas assassination program run by the obama administration now both of these journalists are known for their hard hitting investigations of the u.s.

government and their collaboration will reportedly reveal how they say the vast surveillance network of the n.s.a. operates in conjunction with the clandestine operations run by the u.s. military or the cia now for those who don't know the so hot off prize that snowden is nominated for was established by the european parliament in order to a good knowledge individuals or organizations who have dedicated their lives to human rights and freedom of thought reporting from new york marina poor nial r.t. . despite the fact of the bush era and i'm sorry chief is no doubt being hurt by snowden's revelations and she walked over there but swanson feels his comments were . when you joke about killing somebody with an ax your viewed as a sociopath when you joke about killing people with a million dollar missile you are considered a big powerful person who knows lots of secret stuff and so your rage is directed

in particular at people who reveal that secret stuff so we've arrived at the point of putting whistleblowers and those who leak information for whatever reason on the list of enemies as if they are fighting a war because they are revealing the secret information including embarrassing and humiliating information it is of course outrageous criminal and in fact sociopathic and i think the timing is the same timing of the past weeks and months in which this has become a top problem in the u.s. government the audience laughed when president obama joked about using predator drones against his daughter's boyfriends joking about war in u.s. culture is acceptable people talk seriously about new wars and people who claim to oppose it don't speak up with outrage so they come through in the program here on our anger in athens as the government funds to build a mosque in the greek capital many are unhappy over the idea saying there's

a much better way to use state funds in such a time of crisis. and switch citizens demand an overhaul of the whole concept of working for money more about in about ten minutes time here on the program. but for the meantime the international monetary fund has set the alarms ringing over america's debt crisis putting the world economy under threat and i.m.f. chief christine legarde warned of worse troubles will follow with the u.s. budget standoff if indeed congress fails to raise the boring that the ongoing political uncertainty over the budget. over the debt ceiling does not help the government shutdown is bad enough but failure to raise the debt ceiling would be far worse. and could very seriously damage not only the u.s. economy but also the entire global economy.

of the u.s. our government shutdown is taking its toll on the president's plans with barack obama forced to cancel a trip to asia and missed two summits of a federal stoppage is now in its fourth day and with continuing squabbles and congress there are fears it will drag on for another week perhaps longer in the meantime it's less than two weeks now that america will run out of money unless lawmakers agreed to raise the debt ceiling the failure will end up with the u.s. defaulting on its debts for the first time in history and that's the official warning from the u.s. treasury predicting quote catastrophic consequences worse than the two thousand and eight meltdown kenneth levin from the city university of new york he says the crisis has been snowballing for years now between crisis is the new normal in the economy and seems to be a new normal in our political system this isn't the first time that congress hasn't passed a budget by october first which was the deadline it's the twelve consecutive year

that the reason there hasn't been a shutdown for the last twelve years there's always been these temporary resolutions that's the bill for a six week temporary resolution that the house speaker of the house john boehner is refusing to put before the congress for a vote right now so there is no constitutional mechanism and that suggests some sort of constitutional crisis in a time when the economy is provoking serious conflict in party movement a very quick break here on the program after which we will travel to underground mosques in greece and then head to a very unusual garden growing in a palestinian village to stay with us if you can. british. markets. find out what's really happening to the global economy.

of the new. players. a pleasure to have you with us here today. live from moscow it's our duty as greece struggles to make ends meet plans to build a new mosque in athens a deepening social divides in the country and the money from the project will come from the state budget and will cost the debt ridden nation million euros you go to

reports from athens. the evening prayer one of the five daily spiritual rituals for muslims worldwide some prefer to do it at home others visit a mosque. this one looks more or less ordinary from the inside but there is one detail which makes it stand out from the rest in other parts of the globe this is literally another ground mosque set up inside the garage of an apartment building things and every day muslims from nearby neighborhoods come here to pray while in total there are around one hundred twenty of similar unofficial mosques all across the city it's hard to tell the difference between unofficial and illegal but the maisha facilities are the local muslim communities only choice there's simply no official mosque in athens we're talking about thousands of people that hold the great passports. to this country and they are equal but now it's the time of their player greece is among the main points of

entry for migrants to the e.u. and it's estimated around three hundred thousand muslims live in athens alone. so for the first time since gaining independence from the ottoman empire in the eighteenth century greek authorities are planning to build a mosque in the capital but as it turns out many of the crisis hit a traditional orthodox christian nation are not happy with the idea that the mosques price tag is one million euro plans to be paid from the state budget not of their just doesn't this money should be given to poor people pensioners who are starving in our collection trash in the streets so they can eat the government should give the one million euro's to these people and not build mosques for the turks to be again ivan if eventually have debts and then there are thousands of unemployed sick poor starving people it's like telling me to build a house without even having money to eat can this happen no it can't be clearly it's only a drop in the ocean for many greeks who once again dove into

a wave of nation wide strikes. and while the government redirects anyone happy with the mosques construction to the courts it seems that stories like this a reminder that the financial crisis isn't only about cash but it's exposing the most sensitive social problems that for many are becoming too expensive to tolerate . greeks. and you always i had online for the best stories including for this hour falling from freedom states around the world of cyberspace and bringing in sophisticated snooping technology to monitor the citizens' online activities according to one new report. and while three point one billion dollars is how much it will cost to get u.s. soldiers out of okinawa but only if. instead the whole story and more right now at r.t. dot com. in the meantime in the middle of the desert landscapes

of the west bank a small village has become an oasis of palestinian resistance against the israeli occupation as residents of planted flowers and hundreds of spent israeli tear gas canisters and so on of those killed during their weekly protests against the separation barrier. to see the unusual god. this is between village in the west bank it's a symbol of palestinian resistance against israeli occupation it's often in the headlines because almost every friday villagers here organize protests against the israeli separation wall they claim that the wall has taken some sixty percent of their land away six years ago they went to court and the judge ruled that part of the wall needs to be rebooted the village has also become a symbol of occupation office and the same to peace here is the garden of humvee rama he is a palestinian photographer and journalist whose managed to turn

a negative into a positive for sisters you know to make always such that it's from the resistance to make it to make the people to enjoy to like what the people here to be close to change the idea what palestinians doing all those rate of violent god and commemorates bassam a palestinian protesters leader who was killed back in two thousand and nine when the tear gas canister struck him in the chased this place where my cousin percy was killed here will he get sure to show there is something. we can make. of these two guys to mr who could who could kill the people or the human and then we planted the flowers inside the city to show that was like we have to change about this violence and this is one way that his fighters is not forgotten policy

or our team believes in west bank. now swiss trade union members have shown a red card to me for staging a protest outside of the headquarters of the football's main governing body in zurich and the rally was timed to coincide with the start of a crunch meeting on the twenty twenty two world cup which is said to be hosted by qatar and the gulf state come on. building the.

groups.

everyone. a petition signed by over one hundred twenty six thousand swiss citizens is being presented to the parliament on friday what it proposes is a radical shake up of the social welfare system in the country and even changes to the very concept of working for money now to find out a little bit more about this i'm joined by one of the ten founding members who put forward this proposition. thanks very much for talking to me talking about just giving people free money a main starting point is that constitutions including ours in switzerland make it very clear that each person individually has a right to

a life in dignity it would become conditional to a basic amount which allows life in dignity without any frills without any holidays in the south seas but just like in dignity which would be unconditionally available to everyone but if people are receiving this money from the state is there an incentive to work then the incentive is not the same as today and i think that we want that to be the case because the incentive today is simply to be able to survive no matter how awful the job that you have to accept and if you find a job at all or feeling completely left out of normal life because your unemployment benefits we believe that people would still want to work and eighty percent of people say that if they had this they probably would still work perhaps part time perhaps only to complete. the amount that they need to live. beyond this basic amount of the basic income and that the really awful jobs would have to be paid much better for anyone to want to do that and we think that's probably

a good thing so what's the next stage after this initiative has been handed over to the government switzerland has a system where one hundred thousand people can put in an initiative which obligatorily has to come before the people unless both the government and the parliament have accepted it first which is unlikely in this case so in about three or four years they'll be a popular vote. all the voting citizens of switzerland will vote whether they accept this or not it's a radical change and we are taking a chance but we believe we're taking a chance on the individual responsibility of all the people who would have a basic income so they can live in dignity thank you very much that's one of ten people putting forward this initiative in switzerland that would completely change the way we we conceive of work and in turn turn the welfare system here in switzerland on its head. title to come here and see how an ex is the most warlords running the afghan presidency breaking the set just a moment. the

the afghanistan war well they said it was an act of retaliation for nine eleven you know to find bin ladin take out those training camps and find them terrorists of course the war has lasted more than twelve years market the longest in u.s. history and no it isn't over just because most of the troops on the ground of left see there are still tens of thousands of military contractors on the ground and there's been absolutely zero victory in fact the us military ended up attempting to negotiate with the very same enemy it vividly tried to annihilate that entire time but what do you know it seems afghans don't like having puppet dictators chosen for them by the us government because now an interesting figure with strong ties to the alleged mastermind behind nine eleven is running for president that's right. as a former islamised warlord and was named by the nine eleven commission report.
