i. i. mean. the rift between. independence from spain. leadership of the terror group in syria. group leaders critical condition following. the situation in the middle east together with the. saudi arabia.

pm here in the russian capital. thanks for joining us this. now in barcelona and teen opponents activists are gathering to protest the regional governments push to separate from the rest of spain catalina's are promising to declare independence as early as next week and a serious should occur is right in the thick of it with us and us the cea we saw massive protests in support of independence could this one be as big. one down at this point this one certainly doesn't come across to the size of that process we saw the day before and we can see the two hundred people was gathered here there. oh yes and you can rightly say i was and really are symbolic passing me when i was here first night and you can see the

street here was people are quite fascinated about keeping steam in scouts have been speaking out against the independence they've been talking about how they want the rule of law to prevail how there are issues with the way that we've been conducting was in russia in your considered crackdown of course that and harshly criticized on the day of the referendum on the river first the people here now who are just this have the ones who are coming out the ones which are absolute rubbish and i see christians would be so. busy looking think is so nice it will not give us anything responded citizens festival we want a united spain this independent side air space to nice is just to rub ass. i think they used too much force but there were a lot of people looking for trouble if you provoke someone you must expect the consequences. you.

well i was going to be quite important this evening as we are expecting they had one leader finalist which two months making beats within the next hour which is certainly going to be watched quite closely by people on both sides of this crisis who are against the independence for independence because that seems to outline exactly what the council on government is going to be seeking we do know that earlier today and the council on regional parliaments announced an emergency session to take place on monday to discuss process of completing independence but this region going to be quite crucial and will be bringing you all of the details on that next hour ok thanks than to see you there in barcelona protests not as big but certainly as loud it seems i'm sure we'll be staying across the story for us

throughout the night an associate shooting of the. now at madrid's excessive use of force during the catalan referendum has been criticized that a session of the european parliament i mean piece of call for donald between the spanish government and the regions or thirty's the meeting was controversial at the start of it or catalan any pay for party supporting independence gave roses to the participants the president of the european parliament also got the flower to at the same time a group of european parliament and most showed the flag of the castle independence movement and started to take photos made one spanish pretty angry. he said it to you. it only started a member of the don't. just fine yeah just on his sending out of orlando it's a special not. i. mean i mean the most wanted by this we've been able to need to know a lot of all still some cameras if i don't see it here. 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 i mean while the matter of barcelona says he's received reports from several women who say they were sexually assaulted by police on the day of the referendum sunday's referendum led to violent scuffles between riot police and voters almost nine hundred people were injured when all thought he's trying to stop people from casting their ballots any peace express their anger at the spanish response during a session of the european parliament why did the madrid government feel it necessary to stop dish in such a heavy handed brutal and in the final analysis counterproductive manner we now have a chen place which every independence movement so no consonant can use to provoke unrest those scenes will continue to be part of the

image of your government for some time and what of the european union's response their first response should have been to completely condemn the violence but no this is by the e.u. who recognize the independence or crossover without a referendum and who recognized palestine as a nation state even though the e.u. treaties did not permit it now the last i mean p. you heard there stephen wolf he spoke to us earlier he criticized the e.u.'s reaction to the violence in barcelona. it's been despicable it's been dishonest and it shows really that the e.u. has favorites and they will stick by by by their favorites as long as it means keeping everybody in the club demand 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. ok over to syria now where the leader of the al nasra terror group abu mohammed al jalali has been seriously injured in a russian airstrike in the country russia's the fence ministry says it's fighter jets successfully targeted on our list for meeting essentially eliminating groups leadership but i've got reports from syria. this is all in the aftermath 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 this 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 was forced to recall enemy attacks despite being outnumbered that military police unit was with the help of then surely able to withdraw break out of the encircled mind but since then russian surveillance and military intelligence

has gone into overdrive looking for new stores leadership and their fighters on the third of october they learned that there would be a meeting with senior officials nusra officials in attendance and when sources on the ground confirm that two jets were dispatched to carry out and their strike it was hugely successful twelve field commanders were killed abu mohammed al giuliani the leader of nusra front apparently lost a hand and is now in critical condition fifty other fighters and bodyguards were also killed 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.

a wag denigrate the highly effective. bucket the extremely. difficult and this is one of the methods of torture that was used by the militants. the leader of al masri who has reportedly been gravely wounded as we heard there for american troops in iraq and quickly rose through the ranks of al qaeda he was released from a u.s. prison in a country he joined islamic state and then became one of its senior members well and wellness for it was established in two thousand and twelve became one of its leaders russian foreign minister has once again pointed out there is 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 was quite fast of late citing eyesore and not striking our newsroom at all after russia launched its operation the coalition became more active force roosting it strikes against isis all but even after the new u.s. administration stepped in we haven't seen the coalition making any serious efforts to target al nusra. and i do tara corporation in syria between moscow and washington was also touched upon by the russian president you have a 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 there's always going to be the united states when it when it when it comes to

its geopolitical 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. can sell one of saudi arabia has just arrived in moscow he will join president putin later during his historic visit to russia is considered controversial of course but also groundbreaking as it's the official trip of a saudi monarch to the country shocking video 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 you could go with it if you just need one about the exhibit about developing relations between our countries and expanding business school. is still a dominating thing and saudi arabia are the biggest producing countries and we could use our experience in the field. and benefits for all states. 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. now earlier we managed to speak to the secretary general of opec he told us that the efforts put out by russia and saudi arabia are vital for the oil market citing last year's production deal which of course managed to bring the oil prices to a sustainable and stable 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 off. our funerals were prepared.

but here we could be. now danish prosecutors have revealed 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 inventor peter madsen he's been charged with murder but he's also discovered videos of the torture and murder of women on my computer laura smith looked into 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 was found inside madison 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. now u.s. authorities have released body camera video of police responding to the deadly las vegas shooting which took the lives of nearly sixty people and injured over five hundred shots can be heard as officers try to locate the gunman and clear people of the following line. yet here they're going to judge them for the way. they are through their avatar there are three down down. this way just like this one go go go go that was that we got we got some people later found themselves unwittingly connected the last vegas shooting to learning about the attack one tourist found out he stayed in the same hotel room just last year where the shooter

committed the atrocity in this video he gives a tour of the suite and shows a view of the last vegas trip not possible you know of course what was going to happen later and there is one delivery man he described his feelings when he discovered that he had made a delivery to the gunman himself i looked at his order because i want to see who was the last person that actually saw him because i wanted to just. happen to be. sure. something. america's of course still trying to come to terms with the deadliest shooting in its history some are using it as a platform for their political aspirations. as 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 worse 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 and 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 are 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 as 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 really tired especially while promoting this movie not to. feel mother nature is rage and wrath 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 horrific event 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 answers giago r.t. . the u.k.

foreign secretary boris johnson has long been known for controversial statements and actions however some say this time he's gone too far promising a bright future for libyan city if it clears up with dead bodies first as this report. this. is how you see. these. police he. says. this is a pretty unwelcome reminder 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 to get sassy

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 knowledge with by most of the leaders involved in that intervention is that there was no planning for what happened afterwards 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 boris gaffe 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. since famous for its cutting remarks he previously wrote

a limerick about the turkish president having sex with a goat it's old chinese the u.k. invented the national sport of ping pong he also resorted to kipling poem about colonialism in the now independent states of manama political activist george draw thinks johnson's latest comments shows contempt for the libyans who died in that 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 at reamed 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 libya the very fact that what he's talking about is british businesses coming in and turning so into dubai itself has huge huge questions in terms of what many people call disaster capitalism whether the powers that be know mclean 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 to 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. detainees from guantanamo prison are about to have their creative side on the show with an exhibition in new york of the artists are suspected of taking part in a deadliest terror attack in u.s. history caleb maupin has been to see the exhibits. 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 goal 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 bloodshed 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 could have even honey you know good outlook but a puff apparently not love went on to some bakery in the u.s. state of massachusetts has been slapped with a warning last of adding the motion 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 definitely defending the 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. back with more headlines at what is at ten pm moscow time see that.

america has a call it's called puerto rico and they are charging for stuff and now that there's a disaster there live to rot and it's a failure of capitalism it's a failure of politics in washington it's a failure that we saw coming for decades and it's a failure coming to the shores of america. welcome to a going underground special on the day the british prime minister to raise a may address is tory party faithful in manchester she's also preparing to send troops more troops for the longest war in american history the war in afghanistan which is why we caught up with the former president of afghanistan hamid karzai at

the central london undisclosed location. been an atrocity in less vegas' the making the headlines around the world it was the. beginning of the thirty five thousand dead or wounded by shootings in the united states. military deaths or injuries in afghanistan but immediately after reports came up people suspected isis symptomatic of the field of extremism is no borders the tragic shooting in the united states my condolences to the american people and despite the sad incident we. paid because we've gone through a lot and almost every day we can get the criticism of the bomber ministrations. sponsored violence in afghanistan in a moment but it's clear the president on trump as a candidate was talking about isolationism some said his response to terror in your

country has been a near nuclear attack on your country apparently without even the permission of afghan authorities we don't want our country to be bombed with. huge huge. the structure of weapons and bombs we want peace in afghanistan in the united states can talk get us and to bring peace and stability and to defeat extremism. we have more to fear today so we have questions why and that is about who should be discussing how come there is more extremism and how to address it clearly bombings killing presidents violations of for sovereignty more signatory homes it'll have spent of people has not worked because we have more of it today there was the taliban there was this there was. no we have on top of it so how.
