you're not why the are a member of your i guess white people here we are working people right and a police lieutenant in the u.s. has been fired off the dash cam video shows him assuring a woman during a traffic stop the police only killed black people. you're watching r t international with me rosanna lockwood live from moscow thank you for joining us our first story american security services are carrying out searches of russia's diplomatic properties in the u.s. on orders from the state department the russian foreign ministry has slammed the move as a violation of international law for its part the u.s. state department claims the inspections are needed to quote secure and protect our solidities and to guarantee that the russian side has vacated the buildings the

foreign ministry has posted video of the operation with the ministry spokeswoman talking it as a true triumph of democracy in one video from the russian consulate in san francisco security agency using a ladder to inspect the ceiling inside the building searches are being conducted not only on the premises over the diplomatic sides but also in the apartments of staff members and their families and in another video a security official is seen searching the apartments with some residents still inside. doctors. call.

at washington's demand the russian consulate in san francisco has stopped functioning the russian console has already confirmed this information meanwhile the u.s. state department is also leading a search operation in russia's now closed trade mission in washington d.c. style four blocks from accessing that building starting from two pm local time the head of the russian trade mission alexander stepanek told journalists that he considers the searches of the compounds as a takeover in violation of international law. which we are witnessing an example of vandalism you need international relations it's another takeover of russian corporate sube road we haven't been expecting so she was once again asked if we don't fall comes down to stupid am local time the us doesn't think we have to going to community anymore minutes before the closure all t's roughly video agency to film inside the premises as you can see more or less everything had already been

cleared out leaving only empty shelves and corridors the diplomatic staff were given very short notice to leave the site only thirty six hours. while the state department says the search is all legal arguing that diplomatic immunity was lost following the closure however the vienna convention states that immunity remains in place intell diplomatic staff leave the country vienna convention on diplomatic relations article twenty two point one the. missy's 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 shall normally cease at the moment when he leaves the country earlier we spoke to jack crass miss professor of political economy at st mary's college he calls washington's move a provocation but it's rather unfussy dented for the u.s.

officials to enter at this particular point i think probably the truck petition was done by russia is closer to the to the facts here and what's interesting is that i sounds like a real provocation going on at all this been for ten between the two countries and diplomatically there seems to be escalating and now this is probably designed to provoke a similar response by russia and the diplomatic war going the question is is there some connection here with the mahler's investigation of trump's relationships with russia before the election are they looking for something that maybe might be related that's a possibility to work or swim on now until later but certainly as a provocation. the u.k. is home to more islamist extremists than any other country that's according to the blocs counter-terror coordinator he also warned the future terror attacks in europe

are inevitable and to see churkin has been looking at why britain tops the list. the old. both her father 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 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 friends are pushing him to. number given particular the alienation of the muslim communities in both those countries were no hand i'm not surprised the new young muslims 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 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 into 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 guys are totally off the radar or are currently in the process. 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 well for tanks it's very difficult if an individual or even to sneeze small number of people plan something which just simply wanted to get hold of a vehicle get a 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 he backs the idea that it's impossible to monitor such a large number of extremists certainly you know with current numbers and where there are not going to be or not police officers to keep watch on them or 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 or three thousand people who are really concerned and the police and security services are going to 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 a society. 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 u.s.

are pretty good intelligence so it's a sharing. all of us are going to suffer from terrorists that sounds. dash cam for to chance emerged showing a police lieutenant in the u.s. telling a woman during a traffic stop that police only kill black people he made a remark she said she was too scared to reach for her phone you should put on your lap right here i want to. if you're out why. a member will work out like yeah we'll work people right. away. the lieutenant was subsequently fired with his police chief criticizing his actions though also calling him an honorable man who had known for years i feel that no matter what context he tried to take those comments in the

statements were inexcusable and inappropriate i'm no newton abbot for a number of years and i've always perceived him to be an honorable man and he made a mistake surveys conducted by media outlets show that last year the number of people in the us killed by the police was over a thousand and since the beginning of this shit the figure is already of a six hundred fifty over the rate different racial demographics the share of african-americans among those killed is not a majority according to the mapping police violence survey since the beginning of this year fewer than thirty percent of those killed were black however in general they all three times more likely to be killed by police in the us than americans as a whole plus back in twenty fifteen thirty percent of black americans killed well armed we discussed the issue of the ronald hanson a retired d.c. metro police chief he told us the finally tenants 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 hobble racism as well as activities by the

klu klux klan stall is right next to to captain the wetlands and they have been the issue down there before so this guy what has happened to this guy and the mistake is that now distance caught on the 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 race this term as well as it also to me is the indication of his behavior over to so i don't necessarily believe the person who said that they've known i mean he's an honorable person i don't believe that. a column of i saw all the vehicles has been wiped out in a joint operation by russia and syria we've got dramatic video by itself to this

right. leg. what politicians do something that. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express what you. want to be that's. what you're going to be this is what the four korean people that. i'm interested always in the why. should.

i. welcome back the russian foreign ministry has released new video of asteroids destroying all i saw on the vehicles need bears saw in syria the strikes were conducted as part of a joint operation carried out by the russian and syrian army's its ultimate goal is to liberate the city of dare result from my sil since the beginning of august the syrian army has made significant gains.

going to. terrorists or has been completely surrounded by school for three years now and its high any portion of the city is ok upon by the syrian army and almost one hundred thousand people all trapped by. as you monitor very late and 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 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 later use them

a suicide bomb and. the dare is or 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 red a case of isis but not just isis also you know the old 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. in other news this hour los angeles city council has voted fourteen to one in favor of renaming the federal holiday it was called columbus day it will now be known as indigenous peoples day jacqueline do you get. explains how 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 of the opposition to honoring christopher columbus whose brill treatment of native americans is often overlooked coincides nicely with the recent fight against the 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 affect if we do anything that's going to change their situation unfortunately the better. day might be a good thing. or 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 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 the 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 . r.t. washington d.c. meanwhile clashes have been seen between fall left groups antiphon far right organizations with the us media now changing the tone of their coverage. and members of the far left are using violence to take your mask off because you have a history of beating people and hiding behind that mask in their midst was a sometimes very violent group of protesters they call themselves and they were up to no good i can tell you they were simply here looking for a fight it does suggest a shift in how groups like anti foreign viewed in the american media now portrayed as violent and dangerous just a short time ago they were heroic find his amid the only rest in charlottesville

back then during a right wing rally in me and also about his car into a crowd of leftwing counter protesters killing one in his initial statement donald trump said he condemned filers and bigotry no matter what the source. we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred bigotry and violence on many sites on many sites has been going on for a long time in our country this was not many sides this is one side it is a white supremacist and therefore are are people who go and they try to push back on these guys you very intentionally chose to be ambiguous off by mr president please and member wearing a mask to conceal her identity told us the change in how the movements covered in the u.s. media is intentional. it's d. cause of what is in the people who who populate and he says just resistance to

the tasks that he has to climb day and they get an image to maintain ratings and to continue to project the status quo in to make sure the sea don't remove the comfort of their viewers own because when they lose their money must force an acceptance signing with things money there's always problems. with just three weeks to go before germany heads to the polls the authorities are looking at potential threats to the democratic process that is little surprise that russia once again finds itself in the spotlight peter all of a has the story comfortably ahead in the polls but this election campaign hasn't been a walk in the park for a blue merkel eight years she says she's. not going to start. buying the kids who she knows they know i know. who remains around fifteen points ahead in the polls but that hasn't stopped

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. dean student 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. 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. i don't have any information that these kinds of food geishas can be proved and i 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 amberg. we did not interfere in the u.s. election so why would we create any problems here we have good relations with germany it's our largest trade and economic partner in europe angle merkel looks almost nailed 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 defend against foreign meddling could well be a vote grabber come september the twenty fourth piece for all of our. that's it for me for now more in thirty minutes time and remember you can always catch up on

breaking news on the twitter page. our culture is awash in lives dominated by streams of never ending electronic hallucinations that bird fiction until they are indistinguishable we have become the most deluded society on politics it's a species of endless and needless political theater politicians more than just celebrity are two ruling parties are in reality one part of corporate and those who attempt to puncture this vast breathless universe of fake news just signed to push through the cruelty and exploitation of the media little more for so far to 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. your launching and hearty america got special report tonight about the struggle to install me as one of the fun chase to create everything that you think you know about civil society have broken down. there's always going to be somebody else one step ahead of the game. who should not be the star of the normalising miles. we don't need people that think like this on our planet. this is an incredibly tense situation. the mission of newsworthy is to go to the people tell their side of the story our story. these are well sourced we don't hide anything from the public and i don't think the mainstream media in this country can say that i think richard. 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 tells us what to cover how long the coverage or how to say it that's the beauty of archie america. we give both sides we hear from both sides and we question more that journalists are not getting anything get in your way to bring it home to the american people. play. to. the to.
