no voters elected the businessman to run this country business equals power boom bust it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before . the u.s. state department faces some questions over the seizure of russian diplomatic properties. these are the tools i just about formal diplomatic protocol and you know what i don't know if you are working for today or what but i think you got nothing but. both for russia's planned military drills in bellerive scores uproar among western politicians with some saying moscow is trying to increase its troop presence there and take a closer look at those claims and amnesty international accuses bahrain of mass torture and a crackdown against government critics human rights group also blames the u.s. and u.k. for ignoring the problem. good

afternoon just turned to a call here in moscow you're watching international. now the u.s. state department has been facing a grilling over the seizure of the russian consulate in san francisco which is appears that r.t. is becoming synonymous with uncomfortable questions during its media briefings. people say oh i'm sorry sir what's your name let's move on move on to something else you still consider that sovereign russian property or were those property searched because there was a concern that they were being used for intelligence purposes which would be like a different issue i'm just not going to get into that let's let's move let's move on to something else here in russia or any other country where u.s. missions that. it's been searched by the host. government you know what i don't know if you are working for today or what but i remember what

you just saw there a state department spokesperson thinking that she was being challenged by a teacher in this well our channels editor in chief has said that she is happy that the u.s. agency thinks our employees do give them a tough time. well. next with more details on what was said during that state department briefing. u.s. department of state spokesperson heather nauert was grilled by reporters who focused on the seizure of russian diplomatic buildings last week the u.s. state department ordered the closures of the russian consulate in san francisco a trade mission complex in washington and a trade office in new york us security services subsequently searched the buildings and denied all access to the spokesperson heather nauert characterized it quite lightly calling it a tour which immediately provoked a backlash from journalists russian officials were invited to come along with us as we toured those facilities to get to you so you think what you want.

this is it was this is it this is a very serious activity and it was a very serious damage to me and if i use the word two or and that seem to light fitting in. the activity that took place then pardon me for that the russian foreign ministry slammed this move as an illegal invasion it's spokesperson even said that she views the u.s. raids of russian diplomatic properties as some kind of diabolic circus illegal and pointless well the u.s. state department said the measure came in response to moscow ordering the u.s. to reduce its diplomatic personnel in russia russian president vladimir putin has stated that he has taken legal measures to fight the force closures ordering the filing of a lawsuit still remains unclear where this will all lead and how these latest tensions will affect diplomatic ties between the two countries well despite the diplomatic fallout the russian president says the u.s. and russia will not stop economic cooperation and also the current situation is

because u.s. secretary of state to listen keeps bad company but you so much you don't live in there should this point to a current diplomatic differences we continue to have contacts with american firms. including vast energy companies such as exxon mobil which rex tillerson used to head up we also gave to listen and when you get he seems to have ended up in bad company and he's headed in the wrong direction but i hope that cooperation and friendship lead him back on the right path by u.s. russia relations are up for discussion on r.t.c. . without russia's new envoy to the un talking there here's a quick preview you can watch the full interview later today. president he was campaigning in the shop after wards he promised to deliver all improving u.s. russia relations but unfortunately due to many reasons i will not remember a the more or judge them he was not able to do so medic of that is the privately

and openly say that too much depends on the little ations and it's not appropriate solo these days and they should be improved and that will be for the best for the better of the world committed to improving these relations working together for the better of the world working together with the united states another part that's of course to counsel an outside the security council i hope that step by step will lead us there if we see the the movement. the the the moving all the. now with the german election in a little over two weeks time many d.c. a victory for angle is a foregone conclusion although not the chancellor herself. i mean it isn't

gentlemen we hear a lot here that the german election has already been decided i'm telling you that this is simply not true the latest polls do show anger merkel's party breaking. way from her main rival. democratic party however the so-called third parties may also play a key role if a majority can't be formed in government as peter oliver explains with most pundits already calling this german election day when. there isn't a great deal of intrigue there. has been the battle for third place and who will be kingmaker in the next coalition government the smaller parties in germany providing a lot. of guns. to the. american.

to present to. the nazis. bringing some scandal and controversy to the relatively calm seas of the german political scene is alternative for germany it looks like they will enter a pall of it for the first time following this election and they run on a hardline message against refugee policy and what they see is the islam isolation of their country even drafted in one of the ad agencies that helped promote trump in his campaign and not seen them produce some role the provocative post is.

a. good alternative for germany it's not going to be halted any coalition with. the chancellor has said so repeatedly likely to be part of a coalition with the mrs merkel all the free democratic party a classically liberal pro business traditional ally. christine union but this time around they call it something of an opt in benefits they film charisma and photogenic media has appeared front and center of the campaign however it does appear to have lifted so all this migration policy right out of the alternative think jodi playbook if peace prevails refugees must return there is no such human right for choosing your place in the world i'm not being harsh this is. speaking he could be a troll form a dot com entrepreneur to speak to by some as

a potential next foreign minister should. join in the coalition with them but one thing the a.f. there may be proved. to be a wise move as he looks to shore up its own party's position basically this is just a political maneuver to get more voters from this from this side of the spectrum f.t.p. said the moment constantly collecting in all kind of fields voters for example with all these digital subjects they took all these photos which are coming like more from the digital natives area and now with this new statement about refugees they try to pick of course also people from if the from the right wing side the move has already ruled out forming a coalition with the left party the greens this time out at the lagging way behind in the polls there's even the possibility that we could see you know the grand coalition with the social democrats on this but it couldn't stoop coalition

possibilities there are even some that would see uncle luke will not be the next chancellor of germany however the most realistic options are that the free democrats will not only return to the fold to start following september the twenty olds vote but that they will also be part of the ruling coalition peter all of our people and. in other news russia's upcoming military trials that will take place in better east next week has been heavily criticised by the mainstream media and also european politicians because france in santiago looks at why. russia and bell routes are to hold joint military training exercises this month i was planning to be real serious about this but hey how can i resist when the reactions pouring in are just so colorful what washington thinks russia does or about to do an exercise in be able rouge russia. that's going to tail up to one hundred thousand russian troops moving into into that country the great concern is they're not going to

leave and that's you know that's not paranoia on did you get that one hundred thousand troops that's just the russians not counting the forces and bella ruse i mean that's probably enough to storm europe and yes they are concerned what europe thinks russia does it is undisputed that we have seen a demonstration of the capabilities and power of the russians and one who does that has only to look at the high number of forces participation in the exercise more than one hundred south and it doesn't end there there are more fantastic predictions what are the neighbors think russia does well seriously worried the head of the zappa twenty seven thousand drills is numerous aggressive forces taking part in it and there is a demonstrative preparation for war with the west now russia and belarus are allowing three nato observers to monitor the exercise even though the alliance thinks that is not enough but hey there are supposed to be

a hundred thousand troops yet at the same time nato secretary general mr stoltenberg says there is no i quote imminent threat to any of its allies confusing right and how this bell or see the upcoming drills we should just stop making excuses whether our drills are defensive or not we have an army we have a join russia and belarus military formation in the west and while it exists which we did make a secret off we're going to train it how to fight just in case now let's take a look at the real numbers from the russian ministry of. defense in fact it's thirteen thousand soldiers around a quarter of them arriving from russia plus three hundred military vehicles and twenty five aircraft doesn't sound like a blitzkrieg now does it. one of islamic states most prominent commanders committed at home office believed to be among forty eisel fighters killed as a result of russian airstrike near the syrian city of deer is all that's according

to the russian defense ministry wholly morph was a commander of to tajikistan special unit security forces who moved to syria in twenty fifteen it became an ice cold war minister a month after halim of disappeared he paid in this i saw video this you are so loyal a politician thirty but it is she was a lawyer. there's a lot of cool. black what's up another i still member confirmed dead in the strike is abu mohammed al sharia he's of saudi arabian origin and was i saw the finance chief he is also suspected of organizing the twenty fifteen terror attacks in paris. stay with syria because there was a humanitarian convoy has reached the city for the first time since and i still see began in twenty fourteen forty trucks delivered food to people there who previously could only receive basic amenities through airdrops into the area.

these are the. latest images theories or where clashes with terrorists do continue syrian troops have now established a four kilometer long corridor to allow humanitarian convoys to deliver supplies. i. know in the german capital some people are doing their best to help refugee settle in the country

a chinese culture center in fact in berlin is offering free kung fu lessons to migrant children. i. i look down my life my brother my friends started to come through so i came to i wanted to learn more about the cultures of other countries. i skipped about and a little space when i first did a class was just day after jess i saw that they had no discipline i realize that conflict might help and still want to get it out and help them integrate into german society better one teenager who came here to train had has some issues with the police because of fighting as in the conference is to learn to shield from and try and john why spiraled because here nobody is allowed to use martial arts all acetic not what else you object to that's the train helps him pull himself together

and develop this a person. i know it's good is good both for your body and mind and it helps me with school. you're watching our table be back with more news in the cup in minutes. it's. global warming selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that still. produce offspring of tell you that they'll be gossiping probably by itself of the most important day. off the bad guys and tell me you are not cool enough to fight their product. these are the hawks that we along with our lives want.

the feeling of. the. jury. that you get out of your. old according to josh. coming from iran. welcome back now the leader of the muslim organization in norway has found himself in the headlines after refusing to shake hands with the country's immigration minister because she is a woman the man on the left here who leads a group called islam that did offer the minister a bunch of flowers but when she reached out to shake his hand he declined we asked

our guests for their view on the story boys trying to do is push his religious beliefs onto other people and what he's doing is actually not integrated he doesn't want to integrate shake hands it's just a gesture of friendship and it's not down to religion it's not religious based however not shaking these hummed a wheel in sort of well i'm not here to defend that particular remark but i'm here to defend the right of people to choose how they practice their faith we have in our country and europe many orthodox jewish people who refused to shake the hand of women so actually it's something which goes on it's not disrespectful it's a formal respect this is about religious freedom and you know nowhere in what i just see which one of them should not be about to live with june. well let me know about the hunch it is not only there is so sorry you believe an issue it let me

finish let me let me finish ok it's not about you telling other people. what they can and cannot say and it's not by you to decide to determine what's acceptable or not if there is somebody within the jewish community orthodox jew jewish community are refusing to shake people's and do you have a problem well when i run for mayor greater manchester you keep candid it was jewish refused to shake and swear with me. and i said that was not right that was against our culture so it's not just against islam or what you're talking about one hundred friendship being given to somebody and it's been thrown in the face when we go to mosque or we go to synagogues we expect to other women to have a headscarf we expect to take our shoes off and very sort of things which we do as a matter of respect and i'm saying to you is you've got to understand that if somebody individually wants to express their own way of practicing their faith why do the jewish member of our society why there are muslims or

a christian or whichever faith they're from all they have to do is decide it is their choice to do that and we have to respect up. rain has arrested and talk to one hundred sixty nine activists and their relatives in the gulf states crackdown over the last year that's according to a new report by amnesty international titled no one can protect you. it does lay the blame for some of bahrain szymon rights abuses on other countries

as well including the u.s. and britain and it says they do turn a blind eye to what's happening in the country despite having a high level of influence over the kingdom. bahrain denies the allegations there were pieces against its government's critics calling them terrorists who try to undermine the stability of the country we got reaction on this from a member of the bahrain freedom movement but. of what is doing is that he is paid sick you would think the people the political stance of your lungs and goes in to have a direct impact on the policies of the regime there are gene knows that without their support if there are survivors if without the support of the british and americans of course and the saudis there as you would have collapsed saw i think strongest from washington and london will deliberately lead to improvement over human rights situation and broadly political transform it into those democracy but

they don't want. hungary in slovakia have lashed out at brussels after the highest court ruled that the countries will have to abide by mandatory migrant quotas both countries really try to challenge the program and refuse to take refuge easy. it was not a legal expert but a political decision politics was raped european law and european values. by the european court of justice doesn't bring any new quality political position or my grandmother unquote ism arguments has not changed it's all well the quota system was introduced back in twenty fifteen at the height of the migrant crisis and under the scheme all member states are required to take in a share of refugees arriving in greece and italy via the mediterranean hungary rejected the program taking in zero add of its quota of thirteen hundred refugees poland took a similar stance and slovakia received lest less than

a dozen migrants of more than eight hundred professor of european studies told the e.u. is putting its own survival at risk by imposing these rules on its member states actually the people who are preaching about solidarity in europe. cohesion in europe are actually undermining the unity of europe by forcing states to do things they don't like they don't want to have which they see as interference in their so heredity so i think that in this case the more pressure will be put on rebellion states like hungary start working and others that are opposing the open door policy illegal migration to europe will work like a bull market and it will undermine european unity and in the end it is a ticking time bomb that might. contribute to the final collapse of

the european union. finally this disney has begun film filming a remake of it's his animation film aladdin but the movie giant's already coming under fire some fans of the original cartoon of confused. why disney is not including any white characters for a title that is set in the middle east they are. the white characters in the movie a lot. i didn't notice they're going to have

a white character in this one it's guy ritchie and disney they're redoing it which character do you think they're going to make white. which i think the only way well below the main character i don't know why he would be because he's from middle east not white. they can kill whatever characters they want to in the movie and i don't think colors are always a big issue i think it could be important it could be a reflection on society especially of minorities but treated badly it's only a few might.
