this is a look because these events include all cultural vision of the grammys. the state department is now conducting a search of russia's trade mission in washington after ordering it to be closed on the move calling it a clear violation of international law. because we are witnessing an example vandalism you need to match the missions it's an illegal take on the russian corporate c.e.o. we haven't been expect you says she wanted guests. to more russian diplomatic sites are also to be close surely again on the orders of the state department further aggravating the ongoing diplomatic spat between washington and moscow. another new fees counterterrorism chief has revealed britain has the highest number
4:01 pm
of islamist extremists in all of europe. was carried out why off the memorabilia. here we only know black people right. police lieutenant in the united states is being fired after that dash cam video showed him the suring a woman during a traffic stop the police only killed black people. good evening thanks for joining us my name's neil harvey you're watching our t.v. internet. searches of russia's form a trade mission in washington d.c. have begun to the site was closed down on the orders of the u.s. state department staff were blocked from accessing the building starting from two pm local time u.s. state department is in charge. the search head of the russian trade mission
4:02 pm
alexander stubb nick told journalists he considers the searches at the compound. as a takeover in violation of international. we are witnessing an example of vandalism you need international relations it's an illegal take on russian ground we haven't been expecting so she wanted gas. of them two pm local time the u.s. doesn't think we have to do magic immunity and you may. well minutes before the closure artie's what the video agency managed to film inside the premises in this is what they saw as you can see pretty much everything has been cleared away just empty shelves and empty corridors the diplomatic staff were given very short notice but they managed to clear out the site in under thirty six hours. state department officials are also poised to search the russian consulate in san francisco that includes flats of the diplomats which were located inside earlier on saturday
4:03 pm
russia summoned the deputy chief of the u.s. diplomatic mission in moscow to express anger what russia is describing as an illegal raid and an act of aggression. well the state department says the search is legal they argue that diplomatic immunity was lost following the buildings in question being closed down but the vienna convention states that immunity remains in place until diplomatic staff leave the country. vienna convention on diplomatic relations article twenty two point one the premises of the mission shall be inviolable the agents of the receiving states may not enter them except with the consent of the head of the mission. article thirty nine point two when the functions of a person enjoying privileges and immunities have come to an end such privileges and immunities should normally cease at the moment when he leaves the country. let's bring in a guest leni discourse on populous former greek ambassador joins me now a very good evening to you leonid this want to talk about the legality of this
4:04 pm
because the state department is saying that they can conduct this search they say that once the building was closed down the mission loses its immunity as i understand the vienna convention suggest otherwise it suggests that they immunity stay there till the stuff leave the country do you think scott this right. i think that the united states has it wrong the state department has it wrong and it's violating the vienna convention and the big issue appears now that this creates a bad precedent because with this event taking place now in the united states other countries may follow against against embassies with which they don't have good relations for example could turkish government by decide. to the german embassy because of the problems i had with this is
4:05 pm
a collapse of of the international diplomatic system by what the americans and the u.s. government is trying to do here in hearing. in the greece there has been no reaction yet but. the only political party. has condemned the u.s. positions when the sanctions were taken but it creates a very bad precedence to international into international diplomacy and that and i hope that this will not be for this will not be followed by other similar events that could take place in other countries what is even more unexplainable is i cannot see the reason that this is happening. the relations between the u.s. and russia are not bad some people in the united states are trying to are trying to
4:06 pm
make it bad but. this this this movement really shoots and it didn't end any tendency to have media really to diplomatic relations between the united states and russia which is something that humanity needs after all. they need is the head of russia's trade mission has said the search is illegal if it is as you've also suggested in contravention of the vienna convention on consular relations can be done about that is there any kind of legal action that can be taken. well i think i think that that russia can raise it at the security council. and it's a second zigzag that they could do but it's the but the it's but it goes a long way is the international court of justice in the hague but that will take a long time i think that the most practical solution is to raise it at the security
4:07 pm
council as violation of international law. now thirty six hours so it's a clear. it's in washington d.c. . a search is being conducted now of those premises what would you anticipate could be found in such a situation anything of interest. no it normal normal paper private effects and because any secret documents must have been shredded by now so i think i mean it's totally incomprehensible what is being done i mean even when the united states broke diplomatic relations with nazi germany after pearl harbor they didn't treat them like that would be the. diplomats are left in the distinguished way after forty eight hours taking all
4:08 pm
their belongings with them much so i find it i personally find the incompetence of bull very unfair and it's not good. for. peace in this troubled world today when it is appreciate you coming on to speak to. us that is my guest thank you very much. as we want to other news now the u.k. is home to more islamist extremists than any other country and that is according to the blocks counterterrorism coordinator also warned the future terrorist attacks in europe i mean never trouble and situation has been looking at why britain tops the list. i was. both back was right was.
4:09 pm
recurring terrorist attacks in europe and the u.k. have become an unnerving fixture for europe's major cities as it turns out britain is at the top of the leaderboard when it comes to the number of extremists here there is many as twenty five thousand just lama's fanatics in britain more than any country in europe that's according to the use anti-terrorist chief three thousand are considered a direct threat by m i five and five hundred under constant surveillance to compare friends with six terrorist attacks in the last two years is said to have seventeen thousand radicals spain the most recent victim of a major terror attack in europe just over five thousand so why is britain europe sixty missed capital where the fight to bring the supposedly good and highest number of jihadi some twenty five thousand does surprise me a bit because i would have expected france a proportion a donation to. a number given particular the alienation of the muslim communities
4:10 pm
in both those countries were no one i'm not surprised that a new young was limbs of point alienated from her society and that's growing of research the impact of what britain itself has done and we should remember britain has been next the united states the main program for satanists in the various wars we have seen around the middle east the thirty five deaths caused by terrorist attacks in britain this year in westminster manchester and london bridge were carried out by perpetrators on the radar of the security services yet despite that awareness those terrorist attacks were to avoided and more are expected to happen we are going to suffer more attacks the groups propaganda no longer calls so much for people. to travel to the caliphate but to launch attacks in their places of origin or of residence even on a small scale with homemade weapons across europe while some perpetrators were known to the authorities others appeared to be leading ordinary lives and were even described as good guys this raises the question of just how many so-called good
4:11 pm
guys are totally off the radar or are currently in the process of being radicalized twenty five thousand people the security services can monitor that number of people every twenty four hours some of those attacks we've seen have been one wolf for tanks it's very difficult if an individual or even two three small number of people plan something that was just simply wanted to get a hold of a vehicle getting hold of naives it's very difficult to pick that up so if the security services can't guarantee the safety of citizens who can the u.s. extended a european travel alert for americans this week making it clear that europe and britain are not the safest places to go and r.t. london. we spoke to the former head of britain's counterterrorism security office say thinks it's impossible to monitor such a large number of extremists. certainly you know with carter numbers anywhere there are not going to be enough leaks offices to keep watch on the mall but certainly
4:12 pm
twenty to thirty thousand people of interest in the security services that's one thing of course that boils down to probably about two to three thousand people who are really a concern and and the police and security services are going to what it's no surprise it's feigns been attacked they've got the same problems as everywhere else and of course there are suspects that are in a month's society wrekin that this is very difficult to police we're going to see a lot of terrorist attacks worldwide over the next twelve months and that's just the way it is and unless we can increase our intelligence and the usaaf pretty good intelligence and it's over sharing then then all of us are going to suffer from terrorist attacks. comfort issues i'm assuring a police lieutenant in the united states telling a woman during a traffic stop the place of only kill blank people and made that remark after she said she was too scared to reach for her phone. here's your own head in your lap
4:13 pm
rather i didn't want to. hear that wacko are remember we are like yeah we'll black people right. yeah. when you turn and was subsequently fired with his police chief criticizing his actions although he also called him an honorable man whom you've known for years. have fielded no matter what she tried to take those comments in the statements were inexcusable inappropriate. for a number of years and i'm always perceive you to be an honorable man but he made a mistake. surveys conducted by media outlets show that last year the number of people in the u.s. killed by the police was over a thousand since the beginning of this year the figure is already above six hundred fifty all of the different racial types the share of black people among those
4:14 pm
killed isn't in the majority according to the mapping police violence case it's the start of this year fewer than thirty percent of those people killed were black however in general more three times more likely to be killed by the police in the us than the average american plus back in two thousand and fifteen thirty percent of black people killed were unarmed discuss the issue with model how to retired d.c. metro police chief who told us that the fire lieutenant's remark was racist. believe me it probably has come up in the twenty eight years that he's been on the police force cobb county georgia has been known to ha racism as well as activities by the ku klux klan it's always right next to to catch. them and they have been issued down there before. what has happened to this guy and the mistake is that now and this was caught on camera and in video not only video but we saw that and heard the sound too so now he can't get around the fact that he used this
4:15 pm
race this term as well as it also to me is the indication of his behavior over t.v. so i don't necessarily believe the person who said that they've known and maybe it's honorable person i don't believe the. joint syrian and russian operation destroys eisel vehicles i'll explain all after the break. here's what people have been saying about rejecting. the show i go out of my way to . really pack them. john oliver a party americans do the same. apparently better than. i see people you've never heard of. jack tonight president of the world bank. seriously send us an email. what politicians do. put
4:16 pm
themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express. some want. to go right to the press it's like the full story of the people. i'm interested in the. russian foreign ministry has released new video of airstrikes destroying i saw vehicles near dead resort in syria the strikes were conducted as part of a joint operation carried out by the russian and syrian army's field to
4:17 pm
a goal to liberate the city of dairies or from i still thought of august the syrian army has made significant gains. and has always been completely surrounded by eisel for three years just a tiny portion of the cities actually occupied by the syrian army and almost one hundred thousand people trapped.
4:18 pm
as you monitor very late in the navy as isis terrorists raided our house my thirteen year old cousin was staying with us i had her in a water tank so that the terrorist didn't take her as a slave it was obvious that it's not just the situation in there is or is catastrophic terrorist from iraq executes civilians in the streets and leave bodies lying there for up to five days i secretly drove my sons out of the city otherwise isis militants would recruit them by force inject psychotropic substances and use them a suicide bomb and. it
4:19 pm
might be the most important choke point right now in the syrian conflict because of its geographical location regionally russia's been making incredible advances with airstrikes with the syrian armed forces on the ground and isis being basically pitched on both sides of a sort of a greater regional area that they had more or less strategic control over. a year a year and a half ago the radical of isis but not just isis also the al nusra front is absolutely going to stabilize the middle east as a whole for syria can be seen as a stabilizing force an important player in the middle east. a centrally city council voted fourteen to one in favor of renaming the federal holiday it was called columbus day but will now be known as indigenous peoples day these jacqueline verger explains. i did time of heated discussion over america's
4:20 pm
historical figures and their often controversial past los angeles has become the most recent city to vote overwhelmingly in favor of renaming columbus day to indigenous peoples day the opposition to honoring christopher columbus whose grill treatment of native americans is often overlooked coincides nicely with the recent fight against symbols of the confederacy the new. democratic. center the poor african american and ground. that there is the christopher columbus statue that was vandalized someone took an axe to christopher columbus is that there is no red paint all over the statue removing columbus his name from the national holiday is meant to be a way to make amends and acknowledge america's bloody past but is the relabeling of a day really the best way to help america's indigenous people it's not going to particularly do anything that's going to change their situation unfortunately the better immediately for a given day might be a good thing. or
4:21 pm
a cloudy day we can get if we can get something for them in terms of a date that's perfect and then that way we can do like i said go ahead and start talking about the deeper issues at hand and then we can work towards getting getting more more for them people should be other centers and care more about other people than they do that more people care about themselves these days than they do others or people focus more so than just change the name incomes for native americans tend to be relatively low and unemployment high in two thousand and fifteen poverty rates were the highest among any groups in america so perhaps efforts would be better spent on trying to improve the everyday trials and tribulations of the native americans instead and something important to note is that in l.a. many who were trying to keep columbus day as the holiday offered the idea of having a separate day and naming that indigenous people say but the idea was shot down leaving one wondering how much does renaming a day really and help the indigenous people of america and also why is this getting a second wind now perhaps has something to do with the anti confederate phenomenon . washington d.c.
4:22 pm
. just three weeks to go until germany had still the polls the authorities are looking at potential threats to the democratic process perhaps no surprise russia once again finds itself in the spotlight this beat all over explains. comfortably ahead in the polls but this election campaign hasn't been a walk in the park for. the nation star. kids i'm sure you know i know. i'm glad merkel remains around fifteen points ahead in the polls but that hasn't stopped the security officials from looking for a bogeyman in this election we believe russia is capable of starting dissent from asian campaigns in connection with the elections to the bundestag yes we heard about the u.s. election we heard about the french election now it's germany's turn is claims are
4:23 pm
being made that russia is out to influence the vote but this isn't the first time that we've heard these type of comments from mustn't. dienst isn't about the american intelligence services are convinced that most likely russian intelligence services are behind the attack we have no evidence of course but it is obvious that a similar scenario was possible in germany too. and he's not the only one banging that particular drum but. we have seen the alleged influence in the us elections the french elections as well as clear evidence to suggest that these attacks came from russia. there's a crucial hole in claims that russia is attempting to influence the outcome of this year's election in fact we heard the head of germany's interior security service talk about it just a few seconds ago that is there's no evidence no evidence that hacks took place in the past or that there's the intention to carry out hikes in the future in fact the
4:24 pm
german government is not to come out and admit this yet exact meudon kind of a cent i don't have any information that these kinds of food can be proved and they have no knowledge of them. germany has been the victim of high profile cyber attack in the past back in twenty fifteen the bundestag systems were the victim of a cyber attack and the finger of blame for that one remains pointed at russia russia was initially blamed for the telecom hack at the end of last year and that has nearly a million people offline across germany in fact though it was the work of a twenty nine year old british man who was doing it at the order of a liberian company in exchange for cash russian president vladimir putin was put on the spot about meddling in the elections during the g twenty and hamburg. musician we did not interfere in the u.s. elections so why would we create any problems here we have good relations with germany it's our largest trade and economic partner in europe i'm glad merkel looks
4:25 pm
almost nailed to be returned as the chancellor of germany but almost hala full of germans say they still don't know who they're going to vote for so the next couple of weeks could well prove to be crucial and being able to patrol yourself defend against foreign meddling could well be a vote grabber come september the twenty fourth peace for all of our. thanks staying with our tailback with the very latest news headlines see you at the top of them. in case you're new to the game this is how it works the economy is built around corporation preparations from washington to washington media.
4:26 pm
voters elected to run this country business because. it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done. please hard selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace talks forcing you to fight the battles they don't believe the new socks credit tell you that they'll be gossiping by a file for the most important news today. telling me you are not cool enough to buy their product. these are the hawks that we along with our. watch. the two thousand and eight economic crisis turns some countries into pigs these are the countries with we korea colonies that needed austerity policies if you are in a situation of low gloat even the recession austerity is
4:27 pm
a very bad idea it doesn't work and it makes millions of people very unhappy those who are unemployed see their wages decline off to almost a decade how good are the results she saw it at the new year in the circle by the people gathered in greece to watch it all get people to see what i do a choice he gets traded beautiful blue she ate at the thought climate was i mean to for legal. challenge nothing without this economy was always think it's just sad how they cannot get it. while the same measure is still in place to one of the consequences is to weaken blue bird flu dismantle the will first one of this is the truth the consider is the consequences are actually quite acceptable to the decision makers.
