the chancellor niklas a tough week on the campaign trail ahead of germany's federal election. is joining is this are you watching the weekly here on r.t. and. the leader of north korea has told his nuclear scientists to step up their bomb making efforts. speaking on saturday at a huge party to mark the country's sixteen. and young has continued to defy warnings from the u.s. government. enough is enough i think enough is enough the stakes could not be higher the urgency is now time is short action is required our country's patience is not unlimited the policy of strategic patience is over or is never something the united states wants the united states does not think conflict only the strongest sanctions will enable us to resolve this problem through

diplomacy all of our counterparts need to impose dissensions we will defend our allies and our territory the united states is prepared to use the full range of our capabilities to defend ourselves and our allies earlier the u.s. rejected a russian chinese plan for a double freeze initiative now under that scheme north korea would hold its nuclear and ballistic missile tests in return american and south korea would stop their joint military exercises but the pentagon to show no sign of scaling back its military role in south korea recently announced plans to provide extra troops and weapons for u.s. bases in the country aircraft carrier strike group and the missile ships as well as fighter jets and helicopters they would be sent to south korea is not is directly a bigger expose now the crisis also means big profits for arms manufacturers. the north korean threat is something we hear on a daily basis from u.s. officials with the statements pouring bremer and and his nuclear threats show that

he is begging for war. they will be met with fire fury the stakes could not be higher the urgency is now this may not get away with what he's doing believe and the urgency is so strong the u.s. is rolling out a range of american made weapons to save the day on offer for remaining rocket launchers for the u.s. missile defense system for south korea also increase amounts of highly sophisticated military equipment which trump this kindly allowing both south korea and japan to purchase in the infamously troubled after the five fighter jets but also be added to that package i think of bonus but not free of course but look forget that north korea is by no means the only threat to global security and america for decades iran has fueled the fires of sectarian conflict and threatening the region and causing so much you buy a lintz all nations of conscience most work together to isolate her and all of

those attacks are music to the ears of saudi arabia an american ally and fellow detractor of iran so of course riyadh was all too ready to sign a one hundred ten billion dollar defense deal with from neighboring qatar also agreed to buy over twenty one billion dollars worth of american military hardware now trying to approach the conflict is definitely pragmatic make a quick buck if you can right and clearly this guy can sell anything even managed to find a way to spin continuing america's sixteen year long war in afghanistan as the prime minister of afghanistan has promised we are going to participate in economic development to help defray the cost of this war to us if you can't solve the problem see if you can at least turn a healthy profit instead of i'm a businessman that's what i'm supposed to do that's what i'm supposed to do. i think a lot of people project on the behavior of the united states maybe of other countries that it's all about business it's all about making money for the arms manufacturers

and the plane manufacturers and so forth the people who make missiles the militarization of the policy of using military threats and military force is the only item in our tool kit his son how become so ingrained in their mentality they really don't consider other alternatives you have people who believe that the united states is and must be the global head of bone that every solution must be solved by a depart from washington and whatever force and threats are necessary to achieve that end will be employed. syrian army has secured a key victory in the fight against islamic state by breaking a three year blockade of the city of dairies or local journalist john a merchant has the details. see an army unit regained full control over a panorama square you were in in throes of their l's over so do you and the

international highway of their results now this sit cheeseman scum just officers a few days of. lifting full siege of the city of their resort and just a few hours after they broke the siege of gaza militants on the military airport in their resort. this achievement also issue the determination of syrian and drash and governments to educate extremism on the syrian soil some analysts and observers believe that this is would be and maintaining points in the war against the goal is to liberate all that is the initial areas not just view it as it is then szell areas and districts in the hands of the extremists civilians live is going to be much easier from now on and their suffering will end. the syrian army has been advancing rapidly in recent months if we think back to june islamic state controlled around a quarter of the country three months on no around half since being lost in the

army's advance on there is or is getting around a kilometer is a day the breaking of the siege triggered celebrations among soldiers and civilians . the breaking of the siege of extremely significant militarily. tremendous booth for the mirage of the government and the government forces and we

must be a bit cautious not clear whether it will take days or or weeks queer eye for the truth the the the main fifty four and then the four through can look forward to consolidating the control of the government in some pocket jihad these still. hold sway so it going at beth going to take a number of months before three and government control over the whole of syria. just two weeks to go before jim the federal election chancellor machall has been out on the campaign trail but not everything is being going her way. was the chancellor being booed at the rally on thursday and two days earlier she'd been hit by a tomato thrown from the crowd at

a similar event but it wasn't just demonstrators who got in the way of her speech as well adjusting parliament she was interrupted by her main rival from the social democrat c. claimed she was taking credit for her. polities work that's with you but i think sally when. you know and see a loose. leaf you know. as . if it was the. moon you know saturday and. when you went back to win points in parliament it's least. that's was like the america looks set to win a fourth term as chancellor with the polls giving her party a clear lead over the social democrats left party trails in third place with the

free democrats behind them and the immigration alternative of germany parties expected to gain its first seats in parliament auntie's peter oliver takes a closer look at the election. with most pundits already calling this german election a win for. schultz there isn't a great deal of intrigue there what's more exciting though has been the battle for third place and who will perhaps become the kingmaker in the next coalition government. documents or p.s. long as the guns. were to. come out of. the president to.

bring some scandal and controversy to the relatively calm seas of the political scene it's 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 message against refugee policy even drafted in one of the out agencies that helped promote donald trump in his campaign. good alternative for germany is not going to be faulted any coalition with. likely to be part of a coalition with the mrs merkel all the free democratic policy of the liberal pro-business they film charisma and photogenic media has appeared front and center however he does appear to have lifted sort of his migration policy right out of the

alternative think jodi playbook if peace prevails refugees must. choose a new place in the womb. i'm not being harsh this is really speaking a thing the a.f. did may prove to be a wise move as he looks to shore up his own party's position basically this is just political maneuver to get more voters from this from this side of the spectrum f.t.p. is at the moment constantly collecting in all kind of fields voters for example with all these digital subjects and now with this new statement about refugees they try to pick of course also people from the if the from the right wing side the woman who has already ruled out forming a coalition with the left party the greens this time outs at the end lagging way behind in the polls there's even the possibility that we could see into the grand coalition with the social democrats and that's when it comes to coalition

possibilities there are even some that would see him do a little cool 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 calling september the twenty olds vote but that they will also be part of the ruling coalition peter all of our people in. the hurricane and this causing havoc in florida with officials warning of a life threatening situation will bring that story on more after this break. thank. me.

seas of diplomatic compounds in the united states video of f.b.i. agents on the roof of the san francisco consulate also ripping up the ceiling was released by the russian foreign ministry agents basements attics stores even. the whole operation made no sense. washington's unexpected most part outrage in moscow russian officials described it as being a gross violation of international law they also said it was an openly hostile act against russia that was bound to harm relations meanwhile the u.s. state department spokesperson face the barrows of questions of the she referred to those searches as being a tour of the facilities. programs are what's your name let's move on move on to something else if 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 and it's not going to get into that let it lead in this let's move on to something else here in russia or any other country u.s.

missions that. could have been searched by the host. government you know well i don't know if you are working for today or what but i remember. at the start of this month the united states ordered russia to close three diplomatic premises with just forty eight hours notice immediately after the eviction u.s. officers searched the san francisco consulate and the trade missions in new york washington response president vladimir putin one of the russian foreign ministry to take legal action. against christian or american counterparts didn't let russia use its property it's a violation of our property rights i will tell the foreign ministry to go to court we'll see how well the highly praised the dish or system in the u.s. works and two days after putin's remark on legal action the u.s. state department had this to say. we would like that relationship to improve we don't want to continue this kind of diplomatic tit for tat people in the united states need to get over this anti russia hysteria and that's what it is that's

being ginned up. by the media here and americans need to call for more friendly and constructive relations with russia it's my firm opinion that russia all along has wanted friendly relations has wanted the u.s. as a partner and there's no reason that we should reject that all of branch that i think russia has been holding out for us entering their property was a violation of the vienna conventions. and i don't know where it's going to end i do get the sense from russia that they do not want to escalate. slammed into the southern coast of florida bringing storm surges in winds of almost two hundred kilometers an hour and these are long pitches that we're getting from the city of naples which is close to the eye of the storm roads have been turned into rivers that six million people have fled the storm's path that's the biggest

tried to. get us all from me for today thanks staying with us on our team to national. will be here with the latest news headlines at the top of the hour. i think the average viewer just after watching a couple of segments understands that we're telling stories that our critics can't tell and 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 week and you know what they're working.

what you have for breakfast yesterday why would you put those for. your wife or. what's your biggest fear in the bin on the hay ride with the less time to read a book you say if you ever met the best quarterback. let's point out that doesn't belong on the piece now i've interviewed you can question more. jesse. what. was. the world according to. our god more to say that ever so what is the world according to jesse

well you know just after sit tight and find out because the show starts all. the way. gov it's been over two years since our last show and now we're here starting the very first episode of this new show kicking it off right here in the nation's capital we're going to be airing every week on r t america on fridays at seven thirty pm and ten pm eastern so we'll also be available on you tube and facebook but most importantly for thirty minutes every week our viewers are going to get to see and hear from you completely unscripted and uncensored so tell us how is this show going to be different from everything else on t.v. well first of all bridgette it's going to be dangerous because if they're hearing from me people need to know and especially international people who is jesse ventura who is this guy well i'll give you

a quick scenario who i am i graduated from minneapolis roosevelt high school i immediately joining the united states navy i served four active two in the reserves and i am a member of the big bad u.d.t. seal community naval special forces i then went on to a fifteen year career in the world of professional wrestling for all you spanish people it's called a libra and then i went on from there to become the mayor of the sixth largest city in the state of minnesota brooklyn park beyond bad i served one term i then became the thirty eighth governor of minnesota but the key to jesse ventura's this i am not a democrat i am not a republican i am an independent i don't belong to either one of these gangs i despise them both equally so when you hear me talk about democrats and republicans you will always know you're getting the truth for me because i owed them nothing in

fact bridgette of a fear me they fear if i would come back in that political arena again because i'm too an old boy they've never beat me yet. so that's who jesse ventura is i'm also worldly i'm a one percent. yet explain that to us well a real one percenter doesn't mean you're some rich guy from wall street a real one percenter means you are a outlaw biker and jesse ventura also has that on his resume so what i bring forward is worldly experience on the job training but yet i've held office governor and mayor most of these talking heads you run into they've never held political office brigida they haven't been on both sides i have i know the democrats and republicans and let me say this i love my country but but i believe like thomas jefferson said you have to be vigilant you have to hold your

governments feet to the fire to have a good government that's what i do i despise high pocker see and on this show to we're going to show a lot of hype ocracy because i will make you uncomfortable people i will take you out of your comfort zone you may not like that but you will need it you need to be out of your comfort zone so that you can understand what mainstream media shoving down your throat today all right gov everything in the news is russia russia russia but what about all the foreign elections the united states has interfered in i don't want to keep talking about the elections like everybody else on mainstream media but i want to do what you said and address the hypocrisy here between nine hundred forty six and two thousand the united states has committed electoral misconduct and at least eighty one elections across forty five countries and that's twenty two percent of the world according to researchers at carnegie mellon university this includes elections in iran guatemala yugoslavia.
