i mean. u.s. officials are now conducting searches of russia as the diplomatic in san francisco and washington was shut down on the state department's orders on the move calling it a clear violation of international. samples you need to match . the russian. having been expecting so she's going to be doing. counterterrorism chief is revealed britain has the highest number of islamist extremists in all of europe. was

here not why i. remember we all like yeah we'll black people right. the police lieutenant in the united states has been fired after that dash cam video showed him assuring a woman during a traffic stop that police only killed people. welcome to past midnight here in the russian capital and your international american security service is now carrying out searches of russia's diplomatic properties in the u.s. from the state department the russian foreign ministry has slammed the move as being a violation of international law the foreign ministry is now posting videos of the operation that the. spokeswoman mox is

a true triumph of democracy one such video coming from the russian consulate in tampa and cisco security agents are using a ladder you can see here to inspect the ceiling in the side the building is not sure what they're looking for in particular searches are being conducted not only on the premises of the diplomatic site but also in the apartments of staff members and their families and in another video security official was seen searching the apartments with some of the residents still inside. longer.

than. the a state department's also leading a search operation in russia's now closed trade mission in washington d.c. staff there were blocked from accessing the building starting from two pm local time the head of the russian trade mission alexander stubb nick told journalists he considers the searches at the compound as being in violation of international. we are witnessing an example of vandalism you need to match the missions it's an illegal take all russian corporate ground we haven't been expecting so she wanted gassed. them two pm local time the us does the things we have to do magic community. minutes before the closure ati's up the video agency menace to film inside the building as you can see here more or less everything had been cleared out shelves and covered doors they've locked the doors open to make it easy and

there is really nothing of note to see there the diplomatic staff were given pretty short notice to leave just thirty six hours but they've taken everything with them . the state department says the searches are legal they argue diplomatic immunity was lost following the closure of the sites but the vienna convention states 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. school thirty nine point two when the functions of a person enjoying privileges and immunities have come to an end such privileges and immunities shall normally cease at the moment when he leaves the country. ok let's discuss this story now with jack rasmus he's an author of central bankers at the

end of their ropes that's a book that's just come out this month he's also professor of political economy at st mary's college getting t.h.x. i mean we've heard the arguments from both sides u.s. officials are saying that immunity has expired now that the building was shut down we've had the foreign ministry of russia saying that's not true that this is an illegal and tree and search do you agree with well it's rather unprecedented for the u.s. officials to enter at this particular point i think probably the transportation while law by russia is closer to them to the facts here and what's interesting is that i sounds like a real provocation going on at all there's been a tit for tat between the two countries and diplomatically that seems to be escalating and now this is probably designed to provoke a similar response by russia and keep the diplomatic war rolling the question is is there some connection here with the mahler's investigation. trumps relationships

with russia for the election are they looking for something that maybe might be related that's a possibility too will cause we're not now until later but certainly as a provocation. in terms of the search itself i mean we've just seen some of the video. the man on ladders looking up into the this the tiles in the ceiling looking up into into into the roof space also seem to be a very very casual search of the actual staff quarters opening of doors a glance around and then leaving and they genuinely looking for something here is this more about just trying to be intrusive and uncomfortable well they're looking for something you know knows what it is they're looking for or they're just trying to create something you know if you're looking for something you know often find something whether it's really there or not so i guess it's just part of the escalation tit for tat diplomatic going on between the two countries and their work

until you can probably get worse. what you think uss the game from a move like this well a provocation either probably you know hoping that russia will take a similar or you know more serious move here and keep keep the you know the published of the of the cheering rent relationships between the two countries on the front burner with the public and you know this is a good way to do that that seems like a strange i mean it makes sense but it seems like a strange concept that people would want bad relations who gains from the. well you know what there are there is a. contest going on between the trumpet ministration trump himself when he came in and the traditional elites in this country who want to continue. problems in relationships with the with russia there's lots to be gain economically and politically in europe keep keep that pot boiling traditional late senator hillary

clinton and all the others wanted that. they really increase it really calling the shots i think in foreign relations just as domestic relations goldman sachs and the others are are driving the economic policies some time ago i said they would tame trump and i think they're really doing that and then follow scott and fully tame now and they're almost back to where the policies were owed before it came to office jack thanks so much for coming on jack rises my guest professor of political economy at st mary's college. now in news elsewhere the u.k. is home to more islamist extremists than any other e.u. country that's according to the blogs counterterrorism coordinator you also warned that future terrorist attacks in europe are inevitable and situation has been looking at why britain tops the list was.

both. the product was. 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 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 france 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 six treatment capital well funded burn the supposedly good and highest number of jihadi some twenty five thousand does surprise me

a bit because i would have expected france or proportionate don't shift to. number given particular the alienation of the muslim communities in both those countries but i know and i'm not surprised that young muslims or point you in the teeth 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 persuading us in various wars we have seen around the middle east the thirty five deaths caused by terrorist attacks in britain. it's 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 into avoided and more are expected to happen we are going to suffer more attacks the group's propaganda no longer calls so much for people to travel to the caliph it 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 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 will for tanks it's very difficult if an individual or even to sneeze small number of people planned 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 us 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 counter-terrorism security office who thinks it's impossible to monitor such a large number of extremists certainly you know with carter numbers and where there

are not going to be you're not police officers to keep watch on them but certainly 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 concerned and the police and security services i mean what it's no surprise that spain's been attacked they've got the same problems as everywhere else and of course there are suspects that are in amongst those society. see wrekin that this is very difficult some police we're going to see a lot of terrorist attacks won't fly 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 sharing then then all of us are going to suffer from so sometimes. that's comfort it has emerged showing a police lieutenant in the u.s.

telling a woman during a traffic stop that police only kill black people he made that remark after she said she was too scared to reach for a phone. here's your own head in your lap rather i think a lot of. it you're not why. remember we are like yeah we'll black people right. away. the lieutenant you saw there was subsequently fired with his police chief criticizing his actions you also called him an honorable man whom you'd known for years and feel that no matter what can you try 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 he made a mistake surveys conducted by media outlets show that last year the number of people in the united states killed by police went above

a thousand and since the beginning of this year the figure is already over six hundred fifty of the different racial demographics the share of african-americans among those killed isn't in the majority according to the mapping police violence survey since the start of this year fewer than thirty percent of people killed were black but in general they are three times more likely to be killed by the police in the us than americans as a whole also back in twenty fifteen thirty percent of black americans killed were unarmed we discussed the issue with ronald retired d.c. metro police chief who told us that the fire lieutenant's remarks were 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 hobble racism as well as activities about the ku klux klan stall is right next to to care kenya where lenin isn't and they have been the issue down there before so this guy did what has happened to this guy and the mistake is that now and this was caught on camera and

then videoed not only very old but we saw that and heard the sound too so now he can't get around the fact that he used this racist term as well as it also it to me is that in the case and on 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 them and i saw that column has been wiped out of the joint operation by russia and syria we've got dramatic video coming up after this break. live.

in case you're new to the game this is how it works in the economy is built around quite. preparation washington. post media. business to run this country business because. it's not business is it's business like it's never been done. foreign ministers released new video of airstrikes destroying eisel armored vehicles need their resort in syria the strikes we can talk to this part of

a joint operation by russian and syrian army's the ultimate goal to liberate the city of dare resort for of i saw the start of august the syrian army has made significant gains. well there was always been completely surrounded by a cell for three years now we just a tiny portion of the city occupied by the syrian army and almost one hundred thousand people trapped by us.

as you were on a very even a bit 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 i did as. the situation in there is or is catastrophic terrorist from iraq execute 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 later use them a suicide bomb and.

the. might be the most important choke point right now in the syrian conflict because of its geographical location regionally right. has been making incredible advances with airstrikes with the syrian 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 or a year and a half ago. of isis but not just isis also. is absolutely going to stabilize the middle east as a whole syria can be seen as a stabilizing force of the porton player in the middle east. sun julie city council voted fourteen to one in favor of renaming the federal holiday will school columbus day now it will be known as indigenous peoples day. explains how does time of heated discussion over america's 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 was brutal treatment of native americans is often overlooked coincides nicely with the recent fight against symbols of the confederacy new. democratic economics energy were african-american and. 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 actively do anything it's going to change their situation for. the better and maybe for a given day might be a good thing. or

a 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 more and more people should. care more about other people than they do more people care about themselves these days than they do other people focus more so than just change the incomes for native americans tend to be relatively low and unemployment high in two thousand and fifteen the poverty rates were the highest among any groups in america so perhaps efforts would be better spent on trying to improve every day 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 a 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.

. with just three weeks to go until the german elections the authorities are looking at potential threats to the democratic process and russia once again finds itself in the spotlight as peeta oliver explains. comfortably ahead in the polls but this election campaign hasn't been a walk in the park for a political figure she says it is easy to. understand. why the kids i'm sure i know i know. i'm going to call 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 descent 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 to his claims are 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 us and the only country in the instant of 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 to. and he's not the only one banging that particular drum as. 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 hacks in the future in fact the german government has had to come out and admit this because. i don't have any

information that these kinds of for the geishas 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 elections during the g twenty and numbered. 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

almost to be returned as the chancellor of germany but almost half 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 as the defender against foreign meddling could well be a vote grabber come september the twenty fourth peace for all of. you're watching international news all day but with the latest headlines at the top of the hour. i do not know if the russian state hacked into john podesta e-mails and gave them to wiki leaks but i do know barack obama's director of national intelligence has not provided credible to support his claims. i also know he perjured himself in a senate hearing three months before the revelations provided by edward snowden he

denied the beat n.s.a. was carrying out wholesale surveillance of the u.s. . the hyperventilating corporate media has once again proved to be an echo chamber for government claims that cannot be verified you would have thought they would have learned something after serving as george w. bush's useful idiots in the lead up to the invasion of iraq. it is vitally important that the press remains rooted in a fact based universe especially when we enter an era when truth and fiction are becoming indistinguishable. called the few we know. everyone in the world should experience phillida and you'll get it on the old the old. the old according

to just. welcome to my world come along for the ride. on larry king you are watching aren't the amount per student more. i think the average viewer just after watching a couple of segments understands that we're telling stories there 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 artie's able to do that every story is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out

there to the american what's happening when a corporation makes a pharmaceutical chills people when a 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 we can you know what they're working. on all the world's. and all the news companies merely players but what kind of partners are into american play r.t. america offers more artsy american personal. and many ways to use landscape just like the real news fake news good actors bad actors and in the end you could never hear all. so much parking all the world's all the world's all the world's
