hello and a very good morning to you from all of us here in moscow i mean aaron and you're watching r.t. international. racial tension in the u.s. has been aggravated again a university professor from connected received death threats after a controversial facebook post in it he calls for an end to white supremacy using an expletive laden version of the hashtag let them die on his post was meant as a comment to a recent shooting of a republican congressman that happened last week the storm of anger was so intense that the college will thora t. is temporarily had to shut down the campus and the professor fled the premises and has since issued a public apology well the latest figures show that hate crime in america is skyrocketing in at least six big u.s. cities this type of crime clocked up a double digit increase last year artie's kaleb more pain looks now at the how

racial tension is dividing american society. reports of hate crimes have been surging across the u.s. headlines in recent. months. the rise of racially motivated attacks has been a trend in the united states senate the two thousand and sixteen presidential election new york city has seen a twenty four percent rise in hate crimes with twenty percent across the state cincinnati ohio has seen an increase of thirty eight percent while chicago has seen twenty percent but all of this comes as both the press and politicians have reveled in the race when it comes to picking a president ninety percent of the black vote is ninety percent over what black vote trump has stood up in front of largely white audiences and described black

communities in such insulting and ignorant terms i love the signs behind me blacks for trump i like those sign one thing he does know is how to get angry white men to vote for him president obama over the weekend delivering a roll ring and deeply personal appeal to black voters at times it seemed like the election was just all about race we heard about minorities who felt threatened by trial and angry white men who voted for him but if you look for such a narrative elsewhere you'd struggle france italy in the netherlands for example don't allow any collecting of statistics based on race or religion and it doesn't play any role in politics so are they right and america wrong we decided to ask people's opinions on the street i think it's a great thing to get but statistics on what people think about in like in different countries that way you can know look at the palace these need to be developed i think they're stirring people up two foot one against the other and i believe that . assuming someone's economic or social or political standings based on their race

is definitely. wrong i think it it opens up a dialogue for people to start talking about what some of those issues might be to have some data down. the lies. you should get collect statistics ethnic or religious affiliations has always been used as a kind of path to power in the united states in terms of politics public in the democratic party really capitalize on divisions of all sorts and they use this as a wedge to drive. whatever the arguments or whatever the political agenda is already really actively looking for that wedge issue in order to somehow stick to really to steer the public away from the really common issues which are affecting all aspects of society as with any controversy related to race it's quite apparent that americans don't see eye to eye. party new york. with fewer

than a hundred days to go before the general election in germany chancellor angela merkel has described her country using words starting with the lessons from a to z. when her personal a.b.c. her b. was this fair which means states army and german and brussels sound which and that is for made in germany plus muslims hope stands for a part of the e.u. and nato along with the german for mushroom hunting and as there is security phased rail but also toy railway all of us found out whether people in burlington shed her definition of germany. merkel is that thought a list of words that the chancellor believes it to mice is german this so if you know your article of the german constitution from your care to him your order from your valise allayed then your props on the same page as angular merkel but we came

out onto the streets of berlin and right in front of the bundestag to ask people here what words they associate with germany if i say germany to you what all the five words you associate with germany the five. bad rushed. out. favorites it's me who did this on time. and. i also think perfect with germany not for me to neighbors filmmaking didn't understand mrs merkel the parliament the chancellery the motorway that's also very good in germany still it's leash. pride order punctuality those are only three but those are the most important things we also asked them exactly what they thought of a glimmer cols least this is part of us as of involved oh yeah as broad as i was

it's not bad it's all volunteer fire department is good freedom of the press sports clothes. broadband but aren't most skokie but no car you want to be adored. we are proud nation we don't identify ourselves with the german army the federal union democracy but we do identify ourselves with the rest of the words. ok being german army is ok sport for the handicapped ok tough questions are we ready to face them muslims are welcome as long as. the freedom of the press i am really one thousand percent for that matter what happened. in the nato. trains those are wonderful ultimately this is a list of what angola merkel thinks makes germany great and it comes out three months before there's an election here and which german voters will decide whether

they want to keep her as their leader angle or merkel's determined to show that german values a tie did with her own peter all of a. inspired by the german chancellor as a.b.c. of all things german we decided to come up with our own alphabets of all things medical. but is buying among friends is not acceptable. i'm going to say thank you thank you for a good week or do you know what an intensive elaboration of. qatar stars a fellow go through award it is an attempt to limit its sovereignty on foreign policy and i saw today presented doha which they accuse of sponsoring terrorism

with a list of demands the countries recently cut diplomatic and trade ties with the shakedown than say the demands must be met if well ations are to be restored middle east correspondent paula small talk has been presented with a list of demands from saudi arabia the united arab emirates but wade and egypt four nations that cut or trade and diplomatic ties with the country now this came after the u.s. state department questioned the motives of the gulf states now that it's been more than two weeks since the embargo started we are mystified that the gulf states have not released to the public nor to the qataris the details about the claims that they are making toward. the more the time goes by the more doubt is raised about the actions taken by saudi arabia and the us. at this point we are left with one simple question were the actions really about their concerns regarding carter's

alleged support for terrorism or the about the long simmering grievances between and among the g.c.c. countries now the next day the us secretary of state breaks to listen issued a statement saying that a list of such demands has been prepared he added that he hoped that the demands would be reasonable and actionable saying that we understand that this list is being prepared it's being coordinated by the saudis the end of artie's each option is and the bahrainis and we hope that it will be presented to qatar with and will be treated as reasonable and actionable now the list includes thirteen demands in total here are some of them first and foremost to curb all diplomatic ties with iran that listed trade and commerce with iran that complies with the u.s. and international sanctions will be permitted now the two states share the biggest natural gas field so that could be a problem as well it calls on shutting down al-jazeera and all qatar funded news

outlets to terminate to military presence in qatar to any joint military cooperation with turkey that is taking place inside of qatar the list say is that there needs to be agreement to all demands within ten days or the list becomes invalid now the document does not specify what the countries will do if qatar refuses to comply so of course it remains to be seen whether qatar will view these demands as either reasonable or actionable meanwhile the white house has weighed in on the spats calling it a family affair that the full states should resolve by themselves political commentators fired most of the cost chesham thinks the gulf states doing the best to strip cuts of influence. they have raise some maximum demands in order to empty the hands of. the merits and winning races that it had made of we wait like its ties with the muslim brotherhood like its ties

strong ties with hamas gave him a say in the middle east peace in the palestinian these really should also use the strong ties with iran that made it a player a good actor in the region that could play both ways also. they care a lot for al-jazeera network and they know how strong and powerful it is in promoting cathars views so they have raised all these demands in order to empty the hands of those from the willing ace's that it had and made a powerful actor on the southern rooms of the persian goals. after america's defense secretary admitted us failings in afghanistan last week the pentagon seems to have been looking for somebody to blame and it's found someone and it's first report to congress since the election the pentagon named pakistan as

the single greatest external factor hindering u.s. actions the report refers to what it calls support of afghan insurgents by the pakistani government during sixteen years of its involvement in afghanistan washington has given a range of reasons why its afghan campaign wasn't going to plan. iran is reportedly arming and funding the taleban corruption is a huge challenge in afghanistan that russia is now meddling in afghanistan it's very difficult to succeed on the battlefield when your enemy enjoys external support and safe haven we had the. overt legitimacy lent to the taliban by the russians the problem that the us has trying to carry out the occupation and subdue the population and i mean the real answer here is the u.s. has to get out of afghanistan they claim that they would have resolved everything and they would have won the war if only it wasn't for pakistan or only or if it

only wasn't for something else but there are always looking because they aren't able to succeed the. problem that they have in a war that has lasted longer than any other u.s. war in history almost sixteen years now is the fact that the people do not wish to accept the patient. america's attempt to settle the afghan crisis is seen several surprising methods being used in the past. we're not winning in afghanistan right now. going for it. looks like you're on a cruise to the shall see thank you. pages six million dollars to mail

a tire you can go because the a bomb in color now the pentagon doesn't even know where to go. that might have been eat. any justification for twenty million dollars of the afghan firewood when my auditors asked for documentation of we're basically told quote unquote we don't have the records we just spend the money. now at least one hundred forty one people are missing in the southwest of china after a landslide ripped through a village some forty houses were buried hundreds of rescue is are looking for people still trapped one family of three we has already been pulled from the rubble and taken to hospital the long light was the landslide was caused by torrential rain. the cia has fired some of its workers off with a hijacked a vending machine we've got now story and more coming up after the break.

i don't agree that this is the time for the financial sation bubble to implode to collapse i don't think it's time to get these banks out another fifteen trillion dollars to create the european central bank but of the five trillion dollars easily bank of japan is a never ending fountain of free cash zero percent interest rate so this is a ways to go. the recent spat between the gulf states has highlighted yet another middle eastern conflict while turkey is siding with cretonne iran against saudi arabia the long running tensions between the sunni's. into the open wanted to encourage jump into the fray instead of trying to pull the strings from a distance. and

i welcome back now your love of junk food could cost you your job at least if you push it to thaw that's the lesson to be learned from a recent scandal those rocks the cia on things my girlfriend says santiago explains . big news say contractors couldn't steal snacks without getting caught the contractors were working for the cia developed a special payment method to steal thirty thousand more for vending machine junk food and were doing it for about six months until they got busted all in the scheme was quite elaborate going to eat the classified office of the inspector general report they unplug the machines from the net and use special blank prepaid cards to

retrieve the snacks for free wow so a cia contractor was annual salary ranges from about sixty thousand to one hundred sixty thousand dollars had the desire to go to such lengths putting their careers on the line all to eat free junk food at the office the social media couldn't resist.

and the funny thing here is once the perpetrators were caught gave their badges in and were taken to jail the department of justice was not hungry enough for justice and did not press charges perhaps feeling sympathy for starving staff middle class until go r.t. . a christian school in canada is worried about its freedom of religion off the being told to stop teaching says that the bible that could be deemed as offensive the local authorities say passages in the bible that denigrates oh really if i had one thanks to all aryan taishan shouldn't. not be studied in class the school disagrees however saying the ban would violate his constitutional rights they were thirty's are standing their grounds though insisting that the potentially offensive passages should not be part of the curriculum where we go to different reactions to the issue. the whole you know you know education system is to have discussions and to be able to say that this is this is text that is that is said here let's discuss

it in a open forum i am a religious man who's who's muslim and when i hear things that boat people taking things away from from any type of holy text it does kind of bother me to wait but at the same time there's there's the talk about you know we want to teach our kids how to be inclusive and how to teach your kids to respect different types of races cultures sexualities to the school board used is the word offense they said you need to get rid of all offensive texts from the bible and stop teaching this and when it comes to that word it can be interpreted in any way i could be offended by the whole bible hence why some people in history burned the entire book because they found the entire thing offensive instead of responding to censorship with more censorship we should respond with more free speech and we should be teaching things about inclusive as well as things about creationism and evolution just bring more education instead of trying to deny the opportunity to understand these texts of

the children there's no way that we would be able to have these conversations if things were cut out or if we hid herself from things you're putting you know we want to put the people back in the closet you also put religion back in the closet as well there's absolutely nothing wrong with challenging these verses and questioning it in fact i find it quite interesting that speaking with the muslim gay man because that is a big question we're dealing with right now you have countries where they have imposed things like shari'a law is a strict islamic law where gay people are thrown off right now and we need to talk about that we're not going to be able to do that without free speech on the issue on both gender issues and religious issues. to reason means response to the recent terror attacks in britain is widely thought to have done much to foment in the general election antti is going underground speaks to after a little old west a terrorism expert about the security challenges now facing the u.k. here's some of what he had to say. i don't think it is the right way of combating

it doesn't mean you don't need some policeman with weapons doesn't need you need some sort of surveillance but i think doing that see what you don't want it means that all of these various terrorists of various persuasions of one if we come that sort of society and i certainly don't want to live in a country like that one of the things i love about this country is that most of the policemen don't carry weapons that is very unusual. the construction of one of the two turkish stream pipeline legs has entered its deep sea stage with the pipes now being installed on the seabed the project aims to connect russia and turkey with the pipeline pumping russian natural gas across the black sea are to easily petrenko was on board the gigantic construction vessel.

still. i hear there. that's all fucked up because there's. anything that happens with pioneering spirit gets controlled and this. feeds the actual force of the vehicle or the welding of the pipe that's a steering wheel if you like nothing like the regular device let's see if we can

talk to the captain scuse me sir this is very this should give us a little bit of inside of what's going on. the control system of the vessel prejudice here differently than if it is just a little mr big so we need to know what's going on at all the places and you see yeah. that's a position to see where you are off position exactly zero point zero meters how exclusive is this machine nothing there's nothing that can be compared with the capacity and capability of the vessel. which all is defined by the people. over there you can see the pike there are four feet before they are sent into the welding factory and right now i'm going to show you what happens to them right after they come out of there the pipes go straight under the water and at one point they will get as deep as two point two kilometers below sea level.

natural gas delivery as efficient as it gets eighty green concerns well played by floods like this caused form to be avoided let's hope we can count on that and all the technology that rocks. next the nazi international is going on the ground and for our viewers in the u.k. and ireland looks at the western media started save us some of america's actions and.

good. many little going on in. those she don't consume don't jell you've been talking to the edge of a deal in the sand on the mobile phone in that are equal to jones as muslims are what equals this tells me about going on in condolence this will be done to tell me i'm doing. that to those of you know this and this is a downside to all. and
