8:11 pm
pretends not to seek to do nothing is wrong europe needs to help out while the european union has provided financial aid to it says it's not enough and now e.u. may kiss of said the big back cools by italy to open up the ports along the mediterranean coast such as say. in barcelona in spain but that is likely to be met with great resistance in both countries and some people suggest that what the european commission is saying is little more than hot. some countries need to do more to do their share in distributing the refugees poland hungary and the czech republic have not accepted a single refugee from italy. unfortunately we have no progress on the question of distribution of migrants within the european union and we stand in solidarity with the italian government and the italian people and we will make available all

8:20 pm
you in the studio now first of all just explain to us what are you doing here in russia well obviously it's the big tournament next year the world cup and a lot of our team we haven't been to russia before for work to visit so they've sent me on almost an exploratory mission here it's going to be a proper world cup next year i know a lot of people in the u.k. and ireland in the united states might have certain fears or preconceptions about what it's going to be like on the ground here next year but you know this sort of you know should really anybody's fears about coming here i found great stadiums for a straight stadiums great infrastructure great help from the volunteers free transport between the cities and around the cities for all the science and i just find that the people you know the country would know for you when you're here you know i had one woman on the train platform and so what you actually followed her daughter who spoke english to make sure that i was getting on the right train and it's that sort of helpfulness. taken by surprise here i found people that are warm there and like i said the country will for you you know all the security fronts
8:21 pm
fans will be kept apart but even even at that i think sure friends are going to make it quite well if we could have been away for the world cup next year that's all we want i think that's the main thing absolutely. we'll of course we're back throughout sunday with the build up to the final join us then on r.t. international to see that. now in the united states another case of police brutality has been making the headlines a video emerged of an atlanta police officer beating up a suspect he claimed was about to smoke a crack pipe over no drugs were found on the victim you may find the following video distress of. zero. zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero. zero. zero zero incident happened just over a week ago as you can see in the video the officer repeatedly punched the man in the back of his head while he was being held down by two other officers police
8:22 pm
report into the incident claims the suspect had resisted arrest for possessing a crack pipe atlanta's police chief says the situation was avoidable as a result of the incident the officer has been placed on administrative leave for twenty days but activists say the level of punishment is this respectful to the victim twenty days a suspension certainly kicks justice in the eye and definitely is a insult to the victim the officers alleging that they saw our i'll cry but to smoke crack however strongly want you to cation in leaving that door there was never any narcotics or no crack cocaine found and i think it's important to note that this officer has a history and reputation on beating on people in the also was our report who said that they tried to use a taser and so when you use a taser to be in it was dean non-effective what makes you think that your hands are sufficient that makes no sense and so there's a lot of inconsistencies i don't accuracies with the police officers testimony in
8:23 pm
what was in the report and so the video speaks for itself i mean servants of police brutality are being creasing really caught on camera. you all right. or you. know you got to stay right you can't you can't. this is a culture that happens in policing and it must be addressed a lot of times along force when they have them versus us mentality or we're above or better than most people like you know when it as it pertains to law and so long for smith officers are not law they don't get to be become the judge the jury and execute right that's not their job their job is to enforce alone the chief of police is their responsibility to come out and say hey we got it wrong but we're willing to correct the issue next up on the story of a village in india poached on top of a coalfield and if you're watching us and u.k.
8:24 pm
think finds out what. more than on and off the conservative do you deal. our culture is awash in lives dominated by streams of never ending electronic hallucinations that birth. until they are indistinguishable we have become the most . society on politics as a species of endless and needless political politicians and celebrities are to ruling parties are in reality one party corporate. those who attempt to conquer the
8:25 pm
. rest was universal to me just trying to push through the teeth and exploitation the little or are pushed so far. on the margins of society including by a public broadcasting system that has sold its soul for corporate money that we might as well be mice squeaking against an avalanche but squeak we must cut. the mission of news with it is to go to the people tell their side of the story our stories are well sourced we don't hide anything from the public and i don't think the mainstream media in this country can say you know i think average viewer knows that r.t. america has a different perspective so that we're not hearing one echo chamber that mainstream media is constantly spewing. we're not beholden to any corporate sponsor no one
8:26 pm
tells us what to cover how long the coverage or how to say it that's the beauty of our t.v. america. we give both sides we hear from both sides and we question more that journalists are not putting anything get in your way to bring it home to the american people. i think the average viewer just after watching a couple of segments understands that we're telling stories that are critics can't tell when you know why because their advertisers won't let them. in order to create change you have to be honest you have to tell the truth parties able to do that every story is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out
8:27 pm
there to the american what's happening when a corporation makes a pharmaceutical chills people when. company in the environmental business ends up polluting a river that causes cancer and other illnesses they put all the health risk all the dangers out to the american public those are stories that we tell every week and you know what they're working. is a real irony going. to think that
8:28 pm
a responsible choice in the people and there is always so that's what i think that's always the next three to. four area now wholesale surveillance is c o u m o meanwhile osun and since the instructor has used to sell oil i always tell a story because it's garbage it's real chinese it's. welcomed on contact we're in cambridge massachusetts to speak to professor noam chomsky has there ever been an organisation history which is dedicated to the destruction of the possibility we're going to look that's actually what we're facing. with chris hedges. noam chomsky is probably america's greatest intellectual who has written on the palestine israel conflict the nature of the
8:29 pm
liberal class in a capitalist democracy how imperialism works as well as the reconfiguration of the american economy into an oligarchy system. that makes war on the middle class this is part one of our conversation with professor chomsky in his office at mit. with chris hedges. so professor chomsky i want to ask you about the ten principles that are laid out or have been organized in the book requiem for the american dream which was based on the documentary that you did the ten principles of concentration of wealth and power and the first one you talk about is reducing democracy what i mean by that. should first come to the. construction of the ten principles is really the contribution of the editors it's there are quite effective can.
