i. more than seven hundred members in spain's restive region of castle in the face prosecution by the national government for voicing their support for next month's independence referendum. remember that when a citizen has a problem with justice just one citizen with a problem but one seven hundred twelve have a problem with justice it's just as there has the problems in this case in spanish justice and not the some one hundred twelve because this has never been seen in

europe at least in democratic europe. this is a great surprise this has never happened before more than seven hundred my united that's why they have called this meeting our unanimous position is to act together that our priority is to work to guarantee is a referendum. so what we know is that the spanish prosecutor's office has announced that it will seize any printed material relating to the election along with the ballot boxes to authorities were also granted permission to take action against any individuals or groups promoting the referendum organizations which support the leave campaign are regarded as unlawful and he will find guilty could face up to eighty years in prison alongside a twenty year ban from public office well earlier we saw must gatherings as people voiced their desire to separate from spain they say the referendum will go ahead regardless if the result is

a yes council only it will look to proclaim independence within forty eight hours one council on mirror we spoke to says he's ready to face prosecution. there's a freedom there's about democracy is about the right to decide for all follow people and i think it's really really difficult at the well if how letting people of both democracy and supporting this out that i find them could be could be attributed to a crime i believe in in democracy in a way i want. to protect to defend them about the rights of our people and if i have to explain this to the problem show prosecutor i want to have any problem to build out india everyone will realize that what we need is common sense when it is. when it is to try to calm

things down. by respecting the result by respect to. create will of the people. ten months after hillary clinton lost the u.s. presidential election she still somewhat preoccupied with why she was beaten in her new book called what happened she recalls her stunning defeat to donald trump and she throws more than a few accusations people countries and organizations which she say cost her the election show washington correspondents samir account. looks like hillary clinton is back in the headlines promoting her memoirs and giving interviews left and right to discuss what exactly went wrong in two thousand and sixteen when she suffered an unexpected defeat to reality t.v. star donald trump. and it seems like she's compiled quite the lists of exactly who and what to blame or says that word work in two thousand and sixteen russian wiki

leaks are pressed by inherit nothing from the democratic party bernie's not a democrat jim collins letter my primary opponent. and a lot of his supporters the sexism and the massaging the resentment the stereotype . a lot of people didn't want to hear my plans. for an even more detailed explanation hillary clinton has just released a new book entitled what happened in the book clinton managed to blame everyone and everything under the sun including jill stein songe barack obama and of course. mentioning him and russia about three hundred thirty three times clinton even leveled attacks at senator bernie sanders for impugning her character but here's what else happened the e-mail scandal when it turned out clinton lied about handling classified information as secretary of state there is no classified materials our investigation found that there was classified information so it was

not true let's not forget the constant shaming of supporters you could put half of trump's supporters into what i call the basket of deplorable zx and then there was a major strategic miscalculation when she chose not to campaign in the rust belt losing the democratic fire wall that obama won in two thousand and eight and two thousand and twelve the same rust belt voters bernie sanders won over during the primaries hillary clinton says she doesn't plan to run for president again but she's definitely making sure she steals the spotlight with response on. on our to washington d.c. well in the book clinton compares herself to a corrector from the front seat t.v. game of thrones which the social network community couldn't resist but a couple. guilty

guilty like the. game of chance and shame shame. to walk back to the right keep. the state police in the mind. place to stay a trial no matter. what that. having said all this why aren't i fifty points ahead you might ask. did you make another mistake sure selves to lose the election without any of the other things you talk about what i will say no matter.

you could put half of trump's supporters into what i call the basket of deplorable . everyone who isn't us. isn't it basically you're saying that there's there's nothing you're going to do differently as a way to try to win over his supporters i am a head and let's start from that premise for losing the people. here have the people who think. more people are joining our t's project nineteen seventeen life which replays events around the russian revolution through twitter paulo. best selling novel this project is one of the most interesting experiments to appear in the social media

network he'll be playing his part in it. what if twitter existed a hundred years ago. so we set up dozens of real twitter accounts pulled in the names of historic figures from the russian empire then from factory workers to soldiers then we turn to actual history diaries letters and memos into real time tweets history because i'm a dynamic role played only a counseling by the russian telegraph the fictional media they form a unique twitter ecosystem under the one nine hundred seventy life. or polo will tweet for a month from the twitter account of the hari femme fertile time but he was also a double agent acting for both germany and france there is just a month left before she meets her fate when you can follow her many more historical characters on twitter under their russian telegraph account or besides that you can

simply look for tweets with the hash tag nineteen seventeen ly. which mean a wave of hoax threats in cities right across russia that's one of our stories after the break coming up plenty more as well. on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles. that you thought the press tell you that might be gossip and public but. off the bat as you pull it out by. the. we. will watch.

quarter of an hour into the program very welcome back fellows and people have been evacuated from eight schools in moscow on thursday it's amid a wave of bomb scares in cities across russia resulting in over one hundred thousand people having to be evacuated from buildings will artie's nikky are and has joined me live in the studio with the details to look at how much do we know

about all this indeed who carried it out well it remains a bit of a mystery at this point you know this week has seen a wave of evacuations across the country it's a quite an immense as scale as well we're talking about cities covering the length of the country is only due to these anonymous bomb scares some one hundred thirty thousand people have been affected in just the last two days as them four hundred twenty buildings had to be evacuated in all started on sunday morning in the city of ohm skin that evening also targeting another city the city of resign and from then it reaches snowballed seemingly peaking on choose day when more than ten cities received a bomb scare as affecting tens of thousands of people and over the past four days these anonymous bomb threats have been reported in almost thirty cities across the country targeting. in areas with a high density of people we're talking about schools shopping malls bus and train stations places like this and in the subsequent searches no explosives were found

nor any suspicious paraphernalia and thus far everyone's a bit of a mystery as to who or what was responsible for these calls the latest there we cannot confirm this at this point is that it is these thoughts is that we have sighting written of both the russian international news agencies saying that these calls have been traced to numbers abroad and to individuals connected to i still this has not been confirmed at this point is that there are also a lot of other theories as well including that these could be drills these phone calls the drills all these could be the result of some kind of virus but then there's also the possibility that this is just a prank going to extreme lengths to scare a lot of people so an investigation is under way to get to the bottom of what has been a very peculiar we can russia you know a lot of theories out there as to why this is all happening here and thank you.

president to earth to one of turkey how slow nato has concerns over the purchase of a russian defense system he said from turkey would take control of its own security . they weren't crazy because we made the s. four hundred agreement but we supposed to do for them we've taken precautions and we'll continue to take precautions when it comes to our security and we'll fend for ourselves who take matters into our own hands there's no other way according to the manufacturers the s four hundred can shoot up to eighty targets at a time with a range of a run four hundred kilometers the deal is proving to be a worry for nato allies who say it's income possible with the alliance systems already in turkey. a nato interoperable missile defense system remains the best option to defend turkey from the full range of threats in its region it's important to note though that germany

a leading member of nato house restricted some arms sales to turkey that the situation may have been a factor in the country's choice unless we spoke to say and greg has been left with little choice but to shop around even if it's roughly. turkey and ankara have to decide on which side they're on but i think the recent government and you know erdogan. behavior has become a little bit volatile and unstable for the region and i think his idea of defying the west does generate concerns and even though he is right he has the right to decide from what country he will buy weapons he also has to understand he's part of an alliance and that he has to respect certain rules and also regulations that go beyond the fact that he has the right to buy weapons from any country that he chooses and russia is not the alternative to nato to fall what turkey is doing search for. defense needs to be and concrete because of political reasons can. can put the military embargo towards turkey it is

it is not fair from turkish press speak david cleave as the president and government as professor of attorney has to show some restraint and some stability in order for those embargoes to be lifted it doesn't make any sense if turkey but i think now then it is their problem it is it is not all time that there once again i underline this. misunderstanding america remains for turkey number one security partner so russia is now a possible new partner for certain defense systems yes but if that is true if the us is the number one partners security it cannot you can be dealing weapons with a country that is not friendly to the us. oh just a minute russian is our neighbor. turkey cannot make policies because some of these not like income american not this is our neighbor. well staying with nato the u.s.

is building up its presence in poland with more than a thousand military vehicles of them four hundred are trucked including nearly two hundred tanks and an entire infantry division as part of the existing nato force in eastern europe well the u.s. general heading up the european deployment say it is in response to drills which start today between russia and belarus adding a deal is needed to a lot of the free movement of troops across europe similar to the e.u.'s op and border shen gain agreement not what allow u.s. units to the ploy on nato members territories without the country's direct permission but only five e.u. members are said to back the idea. meanwhile american troops are also taking part in sweden's biggest military drills in more than twenty years or roar it seventeen

is taking place on an island in the middle of the baltic sea here's miguel francis santiago on why the neutral nation feels the need for such large scale exercises at this moment in time there is a video out there on sweden that peaceful beautiful land full of green fields good food and very generous social programs. but actually this video turns into something hard and heavy right away turns out it's promoting the largest military exercise of the past two decades. of war even if. he had been. on campus seventy times what i see the whole. economy if they're not on good books that easy.

and not just any exercise but one designed to deal with a quote a larger sophisticated opponent that one will approach from the east nineteen thousand participants just from sweden alone as well as military forces from eight other countries have joined these drills called our rora seventeen and you guessed it the united states is also there the united states with their allies and partners are doing this this is normal business for us that's going to be our posture normal business we train all the time we work soldiers work always to be at the highest level of preparation not alert but being prepared that's that's our job that's what you would expect us to be ready just like you expect the fire department to be

ready at the hospital to be reading very nice business as usual but not for sweden it's getting back it's mandatory military draft which was cancelled mid two thousand and two but now in twenty thousand at least four thousand swedes will get the call all in the swedish military is now going to enjoy a nice growth in military spending for the next few years even the loci swedish resort jewel of gotland with its sandy beaches and intriguing limestone has been introduced to the swedish military they've been stationed there since two thousand and sixteen and still to no avail no attacks have come from the east but wait a second there was a russian spy submarine alert a few years ago the scandinavian military went full swing into a large scale search mission in the end it all turned out to be nothing but a fishing boat seriously so now this week's military are staging these massive drills to make sure they can protect the nation from an attack which they

themselves deem i quote. unlikely seems like an overreaction i wonder what's that about perhaps stockholm taunting a thread that doesn't really exist asked sweden's favorite album once sang that's the name of the game at least when it comes to russia miguel france jago r.t. or swedish peace activists we spoke to believes the country risks becoming dangerously militarized because of its ties with nato people are upset with me to their agreement because it's one more step towards militarization of our foreign politics and we. are very dangerous component which is nato there's no scale that is necessary according to me. it will be twenty thousand to ten thousand it's not really the question i would say that military exercise of do not make so make of it make us safer i think that we are going in the wrong direction i would

say that the. largest lobbyist group for need to in sweden i mean this is a lot of money to be made from armaments there's a lot of money to be made from getting closer to nato there's a lot of political careers that can be done from playing on the threat. five billion views and counting discover why are you chip pages generating so many hits find a video to keep you informed and entertained there. syria paradoxically. compadres and was

a situation like israel and palestine is not a country where i meet a lot of people without hope all though everybody agrees this humanitarian situation in syria is a very serious situation people have been much more affected than in any other active conflicts today. credit is one of the basic instruments to drive an economy but it can also lead to tragedy i did i took a lying down just i came bigger and met that the textile game and inspire now. many lives have been broken believe excessive to the banks culture into a walk on all the big bankers got big. government the banks but first i didn't think of the ordinary men who washed morning through the back

under don't buy creditors people see no future bad face who have become ill you due to job your relationship breaks down you become a casualty is dead a life long trip or is there a way out of those actually come to a bit of an old marco to ditch. so much.
