odo's you just need more recruits. time to visit moscow and talk to folks over there that was always the number one concern the curse of oil because the price would go up and you'd get you know kind of lazy and not diversified because you are making huge gains on the oil then when the price went down you know you're in connacht mode and you need to pump more oil to get over the panic so the diversification of russian economy never came but these sanctions forced diversification so thank you very much the sanctions. thousands of people are taking to the streets of boston globe to protest against riot police brutality following the violent crackdown on the region's independence referendum on sunday

a witness described the violence he saw long oh you station. were just helping the people because they were throwing them from up top of the stairs and storing the dollar the point the problem here in cuba someone is on the floor and there is a guard that jumps on the person but stalin. the death toll is now fifty nine people following the deadliest mass shooting in modern u.s. history at a music festival in las vegas. and a u.s. senator claims julian assange house proof russia didn't meddle in america's presidential elections and will trade the information for a call that says donald trump won't meet him to discuss the deal.

thank you for watching r.t. international coming to you live from moscow i'm kate partridge thank you joining us. now thousands of people in barcelona protesting against the police brutality witnessed during catalonia independence vote on sunday these are live pictures from the spanish capital a general strike and rallies are now being held all across the spanish region to use medina question about reports from barcelona. this is the center of course a lot of this is what's known about the dance where thousands of people have gathered here to protest against the advances. founding know it all so i said as a student protest but very quickly hundreds of other people decided to join and at the moment people here are shouting and thinking they're clapping they came here bringing blacks independent counsel law yet now they're protesting against the

violence that we saw on the streets of boston on sunday they're supporting the referendum they're supporting the independence of counseling and now the police helicopter is right and proper and it's and when people here saw the helicopter almost everyone here and the crowd started clapping and showing teeth and putting on three hands right there and i got them both the symbols that people are sending to the police that think gathering is you know i was thinking why not us these was one day when he was he was released that you used that force the worst it was arson people from students throughout the week people basically doing everything in their power to prevent people from voting and now has lines filled discontent and an art they are still in shock were just helping the people because they were throwing them from up top of the stairs and throwing them down

a point probably here and kicking them someone is on the floor and there is a guy that jumps on the person that's down and they went up and buried where they got this girl that was one of the organizers. the grabbed her and they broke her hand if you imagine that supported by a democracy you were there is saying that's the law that's what you consider the law was against that cattle and so on sunday you even self interest here in france alon and have decided to hold a general strike route that they see here in boston law now so this is it is practically on lockdown almost the only problem was but it's not operational it is very difficult to get inside of the. that is the answer or to get out of this city at the moment you know maybe euros are cordoned off by police forces now cinemas are closed this same goes to news weeklies to local newspapers didn't open their doors this morning the same goes to two local radio stations now to reach and

football clubs barcelona would look up and you want to look up are supporting this strike we know that matter stations were closed so it is very difficult right now to move around the city we managed to speak to the representative of the regions union health workers and she told us that the people of this region are still and so and it is very important for them to remain to remain in the situation to be peaceful. this is not a normal general strike it is more about people deciding to stop everything they're doing and protest the stat we call it a lockdown of the region why are we supporting the strike we supported because of the violence on referendum day citizens decided to use their cousin to use no right to vote and one who were deprived of it of police activity disproportionate oppression a lot of if this problem must be solved but not with oppression of the citizens not by taking away fundamental rights which i think the spanish government is

a wall so well because we have to eighteen times talk and it's a wall because they just don't want to talk to the spanish government turned a blind eye to the police violence and demonstrated a complete incompetence at establishing dialogue and creating a political solution to this crisis this is the biggest cause it's like crisis spain has and decades the unions are all in for the authorities both in the treaty and also on up to somehow sit at the negotiating table and try to solve and find a way out of the situation to avoid further escalation. well ninety percent of voters chose to break away from spain officers raided polling stations beat photos and flat rubber bullets into crowds. i.

i. i. i we can now cross live to jordi so lay an m.e.p. and the mayor of the cattle on the town now there's the one boy three thank you very much indeed for joining us well let's start with those first questions and has

madrid gone too far by pissing the police against peaceful citizens which now two days on from the referendum and the police presence doesn't seem to be calming down tensions. well maybe you should put that question to mr hoyer and fears about government because what we have seen. pictures and see in the south i accept oh by your arms my own side and against both of us against people that just only wanted to cast a vote. and that's of course unacceptable you know any in any democracy so they were of course. to far. they have to do politics with demand of political nature and that in mind was very in line with i wouldn't democrat you right so people are standing up right now we all got along the all of us because i know for i want to move to the right and i can see the state repression that we have saw for the last on the. well you know the way all of

a catamaran time i mean how have the people there reacted to madrid crackdown. and right now that is demonstrations in front of city hall. and there is a huge crowd there. but always got a way that means somehow always peaceful and cheerful singing songs and you know what and i sing. popular culture and events that's how we want to mobilize the country the people so we have to send a clear message that we will never accept repression of. citizens but. we have to show also our determination to

make our democratic rights prevail but also to make the result of the referendum prevail be accepted and be a respected by everyone talking about respected by everyone and also let's look then at the international response i mean how significant do you think it is that the who has relatively resisted condemning the wave of police found is that we've seen across catalonia. what i think the european union so far east and doing a huge mistake because we are. not. mainly talking right now about whether got on there has the right to become an independent state of not it is up to the god to decide but we are talking about. basic fundamental democratic rights being at that in the european union in two thousand in two thousand and seventeen we've got the lambs are the citizens of the european union. charter of fundamental rights of utopia of union of course of so applies in our in our country so the

european union and european institutions should be concerned about what has been going on in catalonia in the last days they should. be only talking about i want to throw a wild constitution about the rule of flow they should be start talking about fundamental democratic rights rights that i say they couldn't have been attacked in a part of utopia and you know we just have a lot of. media that you do sell a m.e.p. and cattle on meth thank you very much indeed. well meanwhile pro independence sentiments have been seen elsewhere across the european union these have come from belgium and france and moving to eastern europe poland and slovenia man is not just catalonia that has held a referendum on independence back in twenty fourteen scotland voted not to break

away from the united kingdom well this year a second referendum was proposed by the scottish government in the wake of prices something the current tory government has ruled out and later this month the italian regions of long body and the beneteau are also holding votes on autonomy we spoke to stefano about the gun miti an m.p. in venice how his palm and he says it's important to listen to the will of the people. they need to rejoin the military people are very rules that the lonely people many of us out of are when you've got the lead up to be are. the real people use a live show we want to. serve it we become young people love is a most important the freeness for all the mission work for me repeat it's been record highs you have very few montenegro for example but there are many don't talk to for every said being more free to be not only in the crowd the government.

will me was spanish authorities claim the vote in catalonia was illegal and unconstitutional the commission meanwhile has issued a statement in which it refuses to condemn the violence and expresses trust in spain's prime minister mariano the hallway or are we keeping you up to date on developments on the story throughout the day. says. now the new u.s. ambassador to russia jon huntsman has been sworn in by russian president vladimir putin in the kremlin artie's daniel hawkins joins us live with more now on the new and best of that. hi there daniel what do we know about jon huntsman i mean where does he stand on u.s. russia relations. well kate jon huntsman arrived in moscow just a couple of days back with his wife mary kay he's certainly got

a very low an impressive c.v. in politics and in diplomacy he was the utah governor in that role as well as even a former presidential candidate she served under both republican and democratic administrations as ambassador to single poor or more importantly to china as well quite a tough role given recent relations in fim china the united states and he's now got the an enviable task of trying to repair relations between russia and the united states is very much viewed as somebody with the right experience the right pedigree . to try to make those ties better his views on russia the russian u.s. relations could be described as quite outspoken got a quote here from him saying he's convinced russia did interfere in the u.s. election that is without any questions and he also says moscow continues to meddle in democratic processes of friends and allies he's promised to hold russian officials to account while he's here in the russian capital to end human rights

abuses to meet dissidents so he's certainly going to take quite a tough hardline stance really we saw really the ceremony of him presenting his credentials to vladimir putin a normal ceremony for new ambassadors in the country they got a chance to meet the russian president for the first time after which he gave a speech very brief speech in those words he mentioned that the current level of relations within the u.s. and russia on satisfactory that the russians are also not happy about this and really russia seeks a respect of mutual relations on a respect for internal privacy not meddling in each other's internal affairs he said that russia hoped for predictable constructive and mutually beneficial corporation with the united states will be very interesting to see of course how jon huntsman plans. the combine is quite outspoken views on russia and russian foreign policy with those them all to try to repair to mend ties which of sunk to

an all time low according at least to the former us ambassador they'll be very much in the spotlight to see if you can do better than his predecessor and indeed a new era daniel whole concern central moscow thank you. now u.s. senator claims julia so much has proof russia didn't meddle in america's presidential elections that story and more after the short break.

what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president and you. want to be. actually going to be this is what the three of them or people are. interested always in the water. there. welcome back america is now mourning the victims of the deadliest mass shooting in its recent history fifty nine people including an off duty police officer were

killed in the massacre at a country music festival in las vegas sonny melton was at the concert with his wife he was fatally shot in the back as he shielded from the bullets in the east but the tests died in a husband tony songs just minutes after she posted a photo of the two of them apps the concert jessica can show cause a single mother who leaves behind four children here's how events unfolded on sunday night. thank. you for the words.

i. picked. up. when you try to get people out of the hospital ok. i.

thank. the gunman was located on the thirty second floor of the mandalay hotel which overlooks the festival he broke a window before unleashing a shower of bullets on the krantz below when police stormed the room they found the body of the shooter as well as twenty three weapons including a handgun numerous rifles witnesses have been recalling the horrors of the rampage . whoever whoever shooting they. put a new clip in magazine and start shooting again so we get down that that happens only four times before we even get out of the whole complex and there's so many people around here that are i mean they were all dropping. so they were hurt or they were injured or they were dead and we just kept running my boss he got hit in the back as he was fleeing with me he was behind me and then my friend got here he

was in front of me so i was kind of in between make those shots don't stop you don't hear that it's like being in a word zone and you can just hear the rounds almost like creeping up on you. can you feel like they're just it's like i just kept thinking plate we just need to get on target when i realize we're actually. actually still kind of frozen. like this is actually happening. i don't like it was surreal. just. to run over. oh. i'm just so grateful that i wasn't i just missed it but there's also so much pain and thinking like i mean why do people do.

this. thing read history and a prison make it so you could ever have is being able to live. well sixty four year old stephen paddock lived in a retirement home in nevada he committed suicide right after the massacre police say he had no criminal record and no military background and according to the f.b.i. he wasn't linked to any terrorist groups despite claims from islamic state. will the shooter's father patrick patrick who was once on the f.b.i.'s ten most wanted list he was known as a violent bank robber during the one nine hundred sixty s. and seventy's in the f.b.i.'s wanted poster it said he was diagnosed as psychopathic and had suicidal tendencies however steven's brother eric patrick says they didn't really know their father he says he had no idea his sibling was

planning such an attack he would have his car here. every time i mean you played high stakes video. of the state of emergency there's an exact we go no watch no reach for me or my brother would have done. there's still. there's not that. we discuss the events with brett kenyon he was working near the scene of the tragedy and had been personally affected by a previous shooting rampage. one of my friends who is is pro-gun and so believes there needs to be stricter laws you can go to gun shows here and buy guns without any id you can buy a limited ammunition it's just insane for me to think that we don't have stricter laws and i know that there are people that are so pro the second amendment but the world is changing and we need to consider also changing these laws because how many

more mass shootings do we need until we realize that these laws are outdated and we need to change them something i am from originally from the sandy hook area so when those shootings happened in twenty twelve i did attend a funeral of one of the victims and so i've been personally affected by gun violence in the us. now republican congressman says that is a way to prove russia didn't meddle in the u.s.

presidential elections and apparently the man with solid evidence is julian a song senator de niro baucus says he met us in london back in august and even promised him a deal a presidential policy in exchange for the evidence the problem is the senator now says he can't mean donald trump samir khan has more. it's an undercutting of democracy when the guy who is elected his staffers take it upon themselves to make the decision rather than let the actual president make the decision when asked about a possible deal with assad president donald trump told reporters he hadn't heard anything about it that julian assange is the founder of wiki leaks the website that's been responsible for releasing tons of information much of it very embarrassing for the u.s. government has been hiding from extradition in the ecuadorian embassy in the u.k. for the last five years now a white house official confirmed that wore a boxer talked to white house chief of staff john kelly about his plan however kelly reportedly turned him down and said that the plan should be left up to the

intelligence committee congressman rohrabacher believes the president's aides are preventing president trump from learning about the possibility of a deal with a songe this would have to be a cooperative effort between his own stuff and the leadership in the intelligence communities to try to prevent the president from making the decision as to whether or not he wants to take the steps necessary to expose this horrendous lie that was shoved down the american people's throats so incredibly earlier this year by this live a congressman is most likely referring to russian collusion speculation that russia was responsible for the d.n.c. hack a sanchez always insisted it was non-state actors who leaked the d.n.c. files to wiki leaks now according to congressman rohrabacher a songe is ready to tell the truth but it looks like washington doesn't want to hear it. now before we go to the break let me let me remind you of our top story thousands of people rotting boss alone there protesting against the police brutality witnessed during catalonia as independence vote on sunday these are the

live pictures from jakarta on capital of the general strike and rallies and being held all across the spanish region and we're following the events bringing you the latest at the top is the next. it's taken these children's homes. now threatens to take their future. the volcano here could erupt again at any time. most

people have a stark choice. live in poverty. or showing a cat. but some are following a different approach. to meet. their point that hope for a better life. oh max keiser this is the kaiser report you know things out on this show it was just

a few months ago that he had stephen baldwin on our show talking about shows that we could do we came up with this idea for an american pilgrimage sure enough stacy shot a jew minute video on our phone when we were in new york we sent it over to the network they said this sounds great they gave it to big green light and then dash came around and said yeah we'd love to sponsor that after we talked about looking to get it from joe just bonser the great american program which i stepped up raised a bunch of money and now we're in the desert we're in arizona we're shooting the great american photo michelle employee it'll be on air before too long but that's what happens on the carson reports days you things happen things happen we are on the road this isn't arizona in the desert we love that that's suspicious mountain behind us this is apache territory the original inhabitants of the area before as we all know what happened to them but i want to it's an interesting spot to be in suspicious minds because we're in this we.
