this is not how capitalism work this is. rome. the rift between madrid and barcelona. ready to declare independence from spain in just a matter of days. the leadership of the terror group in syria was eliminated. have been killed in the group leader is left in a critical condition. the situation in the middle east together with billion dollars. in focus. saudi arabia arrives in moscow for a historic visit.

from moscow. thanks for joining us today and welcome to the program. excessive use of force during the referendum has been criticised that a session of the european parliament i mean peace have been calling for between the spanish government and regional authorities that's the spite promising to declare independence as early as next week and has been following events in barcelona. at the european parliament discussion today we have been hearing voices saying that people need to stick to the law aka of course this is a job that catalonia the european parliamentarians do believe that they need to adhere to the spanish constitution there are no surprises there they've been talking about how going against the law is not a good idea and dialogue is needed with madrid now this is all great but when it comes to the reality we do of course now see really across

a critical situation between madrid and barcelona with no really signs inside that they're going to be able to agree on anything given the vigorous n'est with which the catalan leadership has been wanting to move forward but i wish to be honest. spin is. not. but. and whatever your intentions the scenes will continue to be part of the image of your government. well what's crucial in terms of what we're going to be watching here in barcelona throughout the day later on today we do expect the caps leave their demands to make a statement where he is likely to outline some kind of deadlines in terms of when a potential process of launching independence from spain could begin we do know that there is going to be an emergency session being held in the regional council

on parliament here in barcelona on monday where this is likely to come to the forefront and set some kind of clarity in terms of the timeline of when the caps region once to step out of spain but certainly this is not going to be an easy fight whatsoever despite these diplomatic slogans from the european parliament for the two sides to get together and negotiate moods are quite intense both here in catalonia as well as madrid in terms of seeing the situation completely differently now of course this whole situation has been leading to yesterday tens of thousands of people coming out for a general strike on the streets of catalonia we are expecting another protest later on tonight which is going to be an anti independence one and we're going to see how many people come out to demonstrate for that but certainly a busy day and busy time they had a very crucial in terms of what is going to unravel here next. the start of the

meeting a castle and i mean from party supporting independence gave roses to the participants the president of the european parliament also got a flower the same time a group of european parliament members showed the flag of the independence movement and started to take photos that made one i mean pretty pretty angry. usually not. i mean the most that i've only been in at least we've been able to meet a lot of balls ship camera the c.e.o. . of the european union says it won't condemn the police violence in spain and instead gave its backing to the spanish prime minister to resolve the crisis spanish authorities continue to say they see the vote as illegal and unconstitutional and meanwhile the mayor of barcelona says she's received reports from several women who they say was sexually assaulted by police on the day of the

referendum sun is referendum led to violence scuffles between riot police and voters almost nine hundred people were injured by your thirties who were trying to stop people from casting their ballots the ukip m.e.p. for the north west of england stephen wolfe expressed his anger at the e.u. reaction on the spanish response it's been despicable it's been dishonest and it shows really that the e.u. has favorites and they will stick by by their favorites as long as it means keeping everybody in the club demanding that they must be some sort of negotiations and talks between the spanish government and also those in catalonia with the must first be a denunciation of the violence by the police over the eyes the police will feel that they could do it again. then over to syria where the leader of the terror group problem how middle jelani has been seriously injured in a russian airstrike russia's defense ministry says its fighter jets successfully

targeted analysis for a meeting sexually eliminating the group's leadership but i guess the if is there he's got this report. this is all in the off the mouth of last month's attack on a group of russian military police in northern hamma they were there to monitor a deescalation zone and what caught in the middle of a rebel offensive they were surrounded by fighters jihad ists led by nusra front and what ensued was a battle that lasted for many hours as a result of the bandits attack a platoon of military police numbering twenty nine people was trapped for several hours and most forced to repel enemy attacks despite being outnumbered that military police unit was with the help of then surely able to withdraw break out of the encircled monday but since then russian surveillance and military intelligence has gone into overdrive looking for new stars leadership and their fight is on the third of october they learn that there would be a meeting with senior officials nusra officials in attendance and when sources on

the ground confirm that two jets would dispatch to carry out and then strike it was hugely successful twelve field commanders were killed abu mohammed. the leader of nusra front apparently lost a hand and is now in critical condition fifty of the fighters and gods but also field as well as many others injured this is extremely important because nuestra among the jihad list and rebel factions in syria is arguably the most powerful with the most sophisticated weapons and the most fight is.

that allowed generate the highly effective. bucket full of the extremely toxic chemical. this is one of the methods of torture that was used by the militants. or to take a look at the leader of almost for our lonnie it was reportedly gravely wounded as we heard there he fourth american troops in iraq and quickly rose through the ranks of al qaeda after being released from a u.s. prison in the country he joined islamic state and became one of its senior members when almost for it was established in twenty twelve he became one of its leaders russia's foreign minister has once again pointed out there's no sign that the u.s. led coalition is actively fighting the group. but we have long been trying to draw the international community's attention to the fact that the u.s. led coalition before the russian military had started its anti-terrorist campaign

in syria which quite possibly citing eyesore and not striking hour news retaught after russia launched its operation the coalition became more active strikes against eisel but even after the new u.s. administration stepped in we haven't seen the coalition making any serious efforts to target al newsroom. and i had to tear a corporation in syria between moscow and washington was also touched upon by the russian president. has this report. lattimer putin says that working with the americans on taking out the terrorists in syria and also on the syrian peace process is very challenging but still promising and he still hopes to do a lot of things together among other things the russian president believes that there are issues he needs to worry about that are no less important than the difficulties between moscow and washington like the north korean crisis for example

a lot of reporting reminded the audience that russia shares a border with north korea when it comes to more than a billion dollars in cooperation in the energy sector a lot of are approved is hoping to do all lot of things with saudi arabia here's what was said about that issue during the may plenary session of the russian energy week movie in this movie. we're looking into the future with confidence as far as saudi russian relations are concerned as well as russian relations with such countries as egypt jordan israel and with syria. but let's face. it it's always going to be the united states when it comes to your political interests do you worry that the saudis are using you because earlier you said always will remain is there anything in the world that is so absolutely constant.

saudi arabia has just arrived in moscow and will join president putin later during his historic visit to russia is considered controversial but also groundbreaking is the first ever official trip of a saudi monarch to the country and vivid tells us what we can expect. saudi king solomon is coming to moscow and it's the first time in the kingdom's history that its monarch is officially visiting russia the trips being heralded as a groundbreaking visit and here's why numerous unprecedented energy deals are on the table for one moscow and riyadh plan a one billion dollar fund to invest in a wide range of projects from oil and gas to renewable energy plus russian firms are apparently discussing an agreement with saudi energy giant aramco for joint ventures on saudi soil riyadh is also looking to invest in russian gas production which could benefit both countries it is good given that if you just use a little about the exhibit about developing relations between our countries and expanding business. energy is still

a dominating thing russia and saudi arabia are the biggest producing countries and we could use our experience in the field. and benefits. it's essentially what it boils down to is two of the top players on the world energy market responsible for a quarter of global oil production are forging ever closer ties which will definitely have a global impact cutting oil output is also on the cards paving the way to extend a historic opec deal they helped to seal last year. but some warn moscow in riyadh have a history of tension and seem unlikely partners between locking horns on the oil market and saudi arabia's close ties to the u.s. with whom relations with russia have hit new lows such close cooperation could also seem quite surprising but despite saudi arabia's reignited love affair with the

trumpet ministration the opec kingpin also needs russia a key and growing player both on the world energy market and in the middle east. speaking of oil we got a comment earlier from the secretary general of opec he told us that the efforts put out by russia and saudi arabia of vital for the oil market he cited last year's production cut deal which managed to bring the oil prices at a sustainable level with the leadership intervention of the kingdom of saudi arabia and the russian federation last year it would have been a tall order. to achieve the historic declination of cooperation a number of pundits had written us of. our funerals were put a period. on organization but here we are today. danish prosecutors have released new details on the murder of swedish journalist

kim all they say an autopsy found at least fifteen stab wounds to her luminous torso she was last seen on board a submarine belonging to invent of pizza matzoh now he's been charged with murder but he's also discovered videos of torture and murder of women on madsen's computer laura smith takes up the story. this is a really appalling story it's a terrible way for life to mirror arts really because of course the plot it's more like the plot of a scan dean war crime thriller than it is real life it's a wealthy danish inventor who's accused of murdering a swedish journalist on board his homemade submarine came wall we know it was just thirty years old and on the tenth of august she boarded peter madsen's submarine in copenhagen she is understood to have been interviewing him for a feature story that she was writing about him she didn't come home the following day her boyfriend reported her missing meanwhile peter madsen himself was fished out of the water by coast guards out of his submarine which had sunk prosecutors

are now saying that it was sunk deliberately ten days later torso minus heads legs and arms was found floating in the water just off copenhagen and a couple of days later it was identified as being kim walls her legs arms and head which prosecutors believe were cut off deliberately haven't been found her blog though it was found inside a submarine police also have said that the body was tampered with to make it sink pieces madson he's quite an idiosyncratic guy he's a danish aerospace engineering enthusiastic private investor also and of course he had this submarine that he had built himself madsen says that wall died accidentally when she was hit by a heavy hatch door on his submarine he says he panicked and threw her overboard he insists that he didn't dismember her and he told the court that he had buried her at sea he's subsequently been charged with her manslaughter but this is obviously

an ongoing investigation. u.s. authorities have released body camera video of police responding to the deadly last very good shooting of course that the lives of fifty nine people and injured over five hundred shots can be heard as officers trying to locate the gunman and clear people out of the firing line. yeah here they're going to judge them from over there that way. they are through right out of baghdad over thirty down they now do that. like this like this like this all the way to go go go go that was that we that we that we some people have found themselves unwittingly connected to the last vegas shooting after learning about the attack one tourist found out he stayed in the same hotel room last year where the shooter came in to be atrocity in this video he gives us a tour of the suite and shows a view of the las vegas strip not possible you know of course what was going to happen and here's how one pizza delivery man describes his feelings when he

discovered that he had made a delivery to the gunman himself i looked up his order because i want to see who was the last person i actually saw because i wanted to just. happened to be and start this war freaked out. very. soon peter took this money used something. personal. i was america's still trying to come to terms with the deadliest shooting in its history some using it as a platform for their political aspirations and. has this report. vegas used to be known as the city of entertainment is now associated with yet another tragedy that shook america and the world stories of bravery and self-sacrifice grief for their loved ones the struggle of coming to terms after the worst mass shooting in modern u.s. history but now this tragedy has got dragged into political mudslinging here is

c.b.s. is vice president of business affairs in her view on the horror i'm actually not even sympathetic because country music fans often the republican gun. yes she was fired shortly after that post of course following with an apology but the rest of the media haven't been shy of pigeon holing the massacre into their political and bi partisan agenda something else i think to keep in mind a lot of these country music supporters were likely from supporters and this is something that of course is hitting the tapestry of all americans and it's not just the news outlets celebrities fall in line just as easily saying there's just no way not to politicize this event after all it contains three of the most controversial elements in america's melting pot white men with guns and we obviously can guess who those type of men are said to support should you be surprised not really even national disasters are used to point the finger at political opponents here is hollywood's darling jennifer lawrence essentially blaming the hurricanes on trump

that climate change is due to human activity and we continue to ignore and the only voice that we really have is through voting. early voting and it was really startling. thing watching these hurricanes now and it's really hard especially while promoting this movie not to. feel mother nature is. page ralph and online you could also see people cheering for the floods because they quote our colognes in texas from racist white people and it doesn't change from one who can vent to another no matter if it's a hurricane or a mass shooting so what are we left with the so much needed uniting in the face of tragedy is marred by hateful messages of division think about it we got francis giago r.t. . u.k. foreign secretary boris johnson has long been known for controversial statements and actions so as some say this time has gone too far it was the bright future for a libyan city if it clears up its dead bodies first takes up

a story. could you tell. us how you see. these. things you. believe. this is a. review this is a pretty unwelcome remind all of a may just stay in on britain's recent foreign policy decisions the libyan war was with the help of the u.k. the u.k. was a major partner in the french led intervention back in two thousand and eleven when the decision made when the decision was made to top of the government of good sassi britain was also a major sponsor of that military action the u.k. contributed over a billion pounds to the bombing campaign in libya and it's the problem that's been

a good knowledged with by most of the leaders involved in that intervention is that there was no planning for what happened off to wood so libya has undergone years of continued violence political chaos as rival factions fight against each other in the country perhaps the only consolation for those trying to mitigate the effects of this latest burra skaf is that it isn't likely to cause a huge diplomatic scandal simply because libya is in too much of a mess politically to respond to this there are two rival governments vying for power they have currently got bigger fish to fry than boris johnson's comments. boris johnson is of course known for his famously cutting remarks he previously wrote a limerick about the turkish president having sex with a goat it's all the chinese that you came into the national sport of people you also resize a kipling poem about colonialism in the now independent state where

a political activist george bought a think shaun's and latest comment shows contempt for the libyans who died in the conflict it just seems to me extraordinary that especially in the context of a place where britain clearly has blood on its hands in terms of yet another attempt to regime change that ended in bloodshed. to be able to make what was meant to be a joke i mean this was this was a punchline in an optimistic speech about about libya the very fact that what he's talking about is british businesses come in and turnings into dubai itself has huge huge questions in terms of what many people call disaster capitalism whether the powers that be in the world are better and better exploiting catastrophe to come in with foreign money and take over beaches and all sorts of other things you know but leaving that aside it just seems. to me it's incredible that he can have such sort of callous disregard for other human lives i mean it would be unthinkable if boris

johnson had referred. you know this is the scene of the bombing in manchester for instance that happened in the u.k. and said oh well once we get clear the dead bodies then we'll be able to get back to business you know i was just being optimistic ok now for a short break we'll be back with more headlines in just a couple of moments if you. seems

wrong. just don't. get to shape our. active. engagement. find themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground. welcome back to the program these enemies from guantanamo prison are about to have their creative side show at an exhibition in new york however the artist suspected of taking part in the deadliest terror attack in u.s. history he's credible but has been to see the exhibit. an unusual entrance into the

new york city art scene this is art from guantanamo bay thirty six pieces of art created by detainees and get mall some of the artists whose work is on display are a bit controversial to say the least. organizers of the exhibition say they did it to draw attention to the prisoner's plight the cool of the exhibition is to give other people a different way to think about this man but also for them to think about themselves in a different way there are workers on display on the very same island where the twin towers once stood we decided to talk to some new yorkers and see how they feel about this controversial exhibit sixteen years after nine eleven i can see why that

would be difficult for a lot of new yorkers are inside resume are two different things and usually a fairly recent doesn't go for the same thing it's a sensitive issue. you know to give support to people who brought a lot of you know blood it's still very visceral even years later i think the memories are still there in new york how would i tell the bad it in two thousand and two. i would have been surprised it would even get this far. you can have even honey you know bernardo but definitely not love at all it is a korean the u.s. state of massachusetts has been slapped with a warning letter just for adding the emotion to its list of ingredients the u.s. food and drug administration failed to see the funny side and said it couldn't be included while people are defending that favorite breakfast snack on the web the bakeries co-founder says he's the term and to keep love on the list he says it

makes his customers smile. all right also from us for this i will be back with more headlines of course nine pm moscow time will see that. manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the flaming. lips. we can all middle of the room sick. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the senate it's full on. the

only show i go out of my way to find you know what it is that really packs a punch. is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than blue. sea people you've never heard of love back to the night president of the world bank so take. me seriously send us an e-mail.
