strong support for catholic. and sea independence protests. complicating the. should we take a look at those options this hour coming up. the king of saudi arabia. shift in saudi foreign policy correspondent. plus.

we're. coming up again the latest u.s. senate committee hearing into russian no evidence the presidential election was. the first in the news roundup the focus again on spain the latest in the catalonia area and reaction to it following those massive strikes against the spanish government that attracted over half a million people in catalonia now and see independence activists have gathered in barcelona this is all of course after last weekend's controversial referendum which saw violence break right across the region and. for us this is the latest from barcelona. was gathered there was this.

incident probably like there are quite loud and really are symbolic of massive things to me when i was here and know that if you can see the street here it was people are quite fascinated about keeping spain in scouts they have been speaking out against the independence they've been talking about how they want the rule of law to prevail how there. was a way that we've been conducting was arrested in your answer the crackdown of course that of course we criticized on the day of the referendum one of the very first people here now just this and i was wondering coming out they want me they were talking about the embassy was what they say and you're going to shoot it like think what they should do is respect the lure in the constitution as all of europe and the european union have osteo the only thing we are asking is that they have by the constitution and the law which is what will defend the

council on people. i think is civilized they will not give us anything respond if citizens festival we want a united spain this independent side air space to my eyes is just a robust so far we do know that the council on parliament said they would hold a session on potential independence process as soon as this monday so certainly this critical situation seems likely to continue given this stance of the cats long leadership to continue to pursue the results of the referendum where ninety percent of the electorate did vote to leave spain how exactly this is going to unravel the means to be seen could you want also said that he does want some mediation to be involved between barcelona and madrid and whether or not that happens and what kind of mediation is going to be and whether or not is actually going to bear fruit is what we're going to be watching now indeed we will earlier the general strug so over seven hundred thousand people take part in a huge event as people weigh flags and chances. dependent slogans along the path

streets. so catalonia has several options regarding his future one would be opening dialogue with the e.u. and sponsor stories to try to mediate some sort of a way forward in this crisis has been solid but madrid's attempts as we saw to disrupt the referendum over the catalan president says spain hasn't tried as yet anyway to initiate any talks among these number would we have never received any positive response from the state to any of the proposals of mediation that we have at the table at the moment yes of course even if negotiations do get underway pleasing both spain and catalonia that would be a tough task the catalan president recently called the government of madrid a democratic disgrace while the spanish prime minister said the referendum was illegal overnight protests in madrid have been calling for unity in the country while also highlighting probable issues with the negotiation process was

a couple in gourami's really interesting in these objectives about four hours is very important. international community recognize what is happening here in the in catalonia and also they are and we are making calls here nor those who will receive some international support in the in the process of negotiating with. with us by the government. now with that first option than the concurrently doubt for catalonia is going to look at other options really let's talk about there what they they could be that could include its regional government going ahead with declaring independence which would go down so world a lot of people in the parliamentary session confirm that that could happen as

early as next monday. they said our an extraordinary meeting will take place next monday ninth it's a debate to make an imagination of the results of the referendum in other words to declare the independence of catalonia couple who was once an independent going to twenty if you stop watching not only have you put into local support to your view so i don't see that it has to be concerned about having catalonia and portugal shooting at the lunch alone with those who live many other parts of you watching with us as to what is that you can't lose but i think we have to look at a couple you know its own merits given all this outlook outlook it is there to start i think if you please is different but it looks a couple only is on that we do independents and it will certainly be encouraging for many of us once you. know about ups the worst scenario for catalonia would be madrid taking back power over the regional government under article one five five

the spanish constitution indeed the central government could suspend the northeast regions of the anime it's seen as a last resort but the spanish justice minister has confirmed that spain could suspend catalan autonomy if carli declares its independence next week always puts a bit of a van or seize an international affairs correspondent who believes that spain could be expelled from the e.u. . in december they would search and step in and then. exclude themselves and membership if the e.u. would accept such as she duration that is the and. as a as an international organization we can never accept that the e.u. member state uses the army against its own people we should also not forget that the reason and the circumstance that straight stream became a member was. to and delete data should such a scenario would be a catastrophe to strain to call it

a loan you're obviously. absolutely. the king of saudi arabia has landed here in moscow and historic trip it's the first time the kingdom sitting moment has made an official visit to russia the move seen by many as an unexpected shift in foreign policy can someone will meet with the russian president vladimir putin with huge oil and deals at stake then let's say we also had a little frank is with me now live from most central moscow as part of a suspect has been a lavish affair coming up tell us more. hi again well of course deals with the biggest and the richest gulf kingdom always mean big numbers on paychecks and the saudi king is of course here in moscow to do just that to sign these deals but on the other hand there is no secret that when it comes to the geopolitical international scene russia and saudi arabia aren't exactly friends but this only

adds spice to the story for when it comes to the economic partnership the high ranking officials on both sides have been teasing journalists with the big numbers that i was telling you about and it has been estimated that the two countries are going to saw and more than three billion dollars worth of big. this contract's now something else that we have to watch out here is of course the very close ties between saudi arabia and the us will remember that donald trump chose the gulf moderate key as the first destination for his first foreign trip and all these things were something that vladimir putin was asked about last night here. but let's face it this. is always going to be the united states when it comes to the interests you should always remain. in the world is so absolutely constant

while the beginning of king solomon's visit in moscow had a bit of a. start the golden cloud escalator that he carries around the world suddenly stopped just as the monarch was disembarking but understandably there was compensation because moscow is trying to make king solomon as welcome as possible in the russian capital he could see a welcome billboards on his way to the kremlin he is of course going to enjoy the best view of the washing capital from is sweet but the saudis didn't just book a number of sweets in the washing capital they are actually occupying an entire cluster of the most lavish hotels in the heart of russia so there's a bit of a saudi kingdom in moscow for a couple of days. to be a king the life of a king a. thanks from. the u.s.

senate intelligence committee says the voting in the twenty sixteen presidential election was not affected by russian meddling. we can certify. that no vote totals were affected but the pallies are accurate the outcome of the election based upon the commode. the they did not in any way shape or form that we've been able to find and alter that from there we heard members of the senate intelligence committee say that they believe that russia was currently in the process of trying to create chaos in the us elections and they talked about social media the vice chairman of the committee who is mark webber he went on to say that social media platforms were not taking the threat of alleged russian meddling seriously enough facebook recently turned over three thousand ads that they say were russia linked over one hundred thousand dollars worth of advertisements that were bought between the years of two thousand and fifteen and twenty seventeen the

social media giant revealed that most of the views that these ads received were accumulated after the election took place now senator warner went on to say that the american users of ads should be informed about whether or not ads are purchased by what he called foreign entities now he didn't define what a foreign entity is or how it would be determined if someone who purchased an ad was a foreign entity or not he just felt that ad should be labeled from there are we went on to hear about how facebook has talked about the contents of these ads in the comments made to the press we heard it hinted that it's pretty clear that these ads weren't exactly linked to any particular candidate let's take a listen there's no way that you can look at that and say that that was to help the right side of the ideological shore and. not the left or vice versa or they were indiscriminate it seems that the overall theme of the russian. involvement in the u.s.

looks you create chaos at every level. and i would tell you the fact that we're sitting here nine months later investigating the pretty storm success at this. when we heard the members of congress speaking to the press they seems to insinuate or suggest or maybe even believe that the reason that their investigation is taking so long is because of the alleged success of the russian medlars and that they've done it so well that it's just very very hard to find the evidence they didn't seem to acknowledge the possibility that maybe the evidence they're so desperately looking for just isn't there seems so it's been almost a year no says donald trump's shock victory in the u.s. election time flies and since then washington's been convinced that russia had meddled in the vote numerous hearings testimonies and commissions were held almost on a monthly basis to try to find evidence to back in january may recall former u.s. national intelligence director james clapper claimed that russia hadn't impacted on

the election outcome we cannot say they did not change any vote tallies or anything of that sort we had no we have no way of gauging. the impact that sort of the intelligence community can't gauge the impact it had on the choices of the electorate made there's no way to for us to gauge that we spoke to richard black u.s. senator for virginia state he told us nothing has been found on the alleged meddling or anything tied to russia but he won't stop agencies looking i heard them make the comment they said russian intelligence is determined and clever what does that mean. i mean i would think any intelligence service is determined and clever much of what they said was totally meaningless even though to me it would not be on reasonable to wonder whether russia.

tried to influence the election i have not seen any evidence there is nothing of substance to support it so far i think the evidence shows trump has had nothing no improper relationship whatsoever with russia and there is they there are vague allegations but no real proof that russia had anything to do with the american elections that's that's my assessment. as a career prosecutor. maybe nothing you hear with anti russia has to do in a similar reaching a climax the source the root of it all goes but to the mountain sometimes in america according to classified u.s. intelligence documents the soviet union was to influence will groups of people with telepathy and hypnosis.

hello. hello hello. hello hello. hello. but they worry about it. too so students tend to stretch. a little leisurely look. a. little. coming up to nazi death squad members have been identified by jewish human rights organization we'll tell you more about that on

the rest of this morning's those they've used to. in case you're new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around currency corporations run washington the washington post media the media. and voters elected to businessman to run this country business because. you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accept the reject. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. let you go right to be close this is what before three of them all can't be good.

i'm interested always in the water how. should. i get reporting next the f.b.i. is being sued by a victim of a twenty fifteen still in spot attack a controversial cartoons showing contest in texas the lawsuit alleges that the bureau may have been complicit in the terrorist incident by not acting upon early warning sides but go francis on the other reports. the f.b.i. is under fire accused of encouraging a terror attack the accusation comes from a security guard who is taking his case to court bruce joyner was wounded in two thousand and fifteen and in iceland speier terrorist attack targeting the draw

mohammed contest in garland texas. both of them had assault rifles came around the back of a car and started shooting at police. cars. now garland could have been a massive tragedy but mr joyner along with other guards and the police managed to stop the terrorists now he wants to get to the bottom of this quite shocking revelation bruce has been a loyal law enforcement officer for most of his life and only seeks the food truth as the f.b.i.'s role in his near death all made that the two thousand and fifteen we did not understand why our own government would not tell us even privately what

really happened that day so what does he bases accusations on well for starters the f.b.i. legibly help the terrorists hope to gain weapons by lifting a restriction during a background check it's also believed the agent even texted the terrorists inciting them well to have a good time. and finally the f.b.i. is accuse the following the terrorists to the scene of the attack not up we hand them but only to drive away and let them get on with it i don't like to think that they let it occur but it is shocking to me that an undercover agent sees fellows jumping out of a car and he drives on. according to research by an american university a shocking fifty eight percent of people charged with links to ice or had contact with either an undercover u.s. agent or informant helping the terrorists do well who knows what it's very

troubling to know that not only was the f.b.i. aware of this attack but likely perhaps complicit in carrying it out and even enticing the two terrorists to carry out the attack in garland texas some of the facts are indicating that they had an undercover agent that was trying to get in with isis or if the attack had been carried out successfully and people died that was likely that this undercover agent and his superiors his supervisors in the f.b.i. felt that this would prompt him up to high ranks within isis he didn't have a legal duty to prevent it but it certainly is negligence at the very least remember james comey the former f.b.i. chief while he didn't mention any of this during the twenty fifteen gharlane press briefing and when asked whether counterterrorism investigators are looking for a needle in a haystack he said the whole country is a haystack and the needles are invisible apparently there was at least one needle that was visible that he chose not to mention your process jago r.t. . a polish member of the european parliament has launched

a scathing attack on the e.u. over its migrant policies during a debate he accused the bloc of ideologically bulldozing member states and repeating mistakes more graphic policy is to suckle too complex a problem to be imposed by the you appear political and ideological bulldoze. has to be a consensus of all member states otherwise we will be back in the situation where the big guys do what they want they could get away with that has to be. the mandatory quota schemas been the focus of much criticism each member state was required to take in a specific number of asylum seekers after the migrant crisis all began back in two hundred fifty eight but the quotas were never fully accepted by everyone in the union the so-called redistribution system was decided by a majority vote but the sudden influx of migrants led to several countries

appealing against the quotas poland and hungary have been the most vocal critics refusing to take in any refugees the crisis also proved a challenge even for the east biggest and wealthiest countries like france and germany r.t. spoke to the hunger in foreign minister for his take on the blocs common migration policy it's obvious that the migratory policy of european union was a failure so far you know the more we got to record the system is the total now than street. at least central europeans were honest about that but you know those western europe your friends of ours will praise this decision very allowed lee and bash us very loudly have completed the call to up to up to twenty five percent so basically no one complied with the decision of the of the european commission you know it's mother of people crecy is mother over political correctness is that all being honest and straight to the problems this is actually against the year you will be in the regulations and you broke your own laws because that decision takes away the right from the member states to make their decisions on their all day long

and the return of their country and when they do not. they're. in germany to suspected members of an infamous nazi death squad have been identified by jewish human rights organization one of the directors for the group efraim zuroff claims the men are responsible for some of the nazi unit's worst atrocities during world war two the nazi task force took an active role in mass killings among them was the massacre of over thirty three thousand jews in just two days that occurred in a place called in ukraine shortly after the war ended twenty four of the death squads leaders were charged for crimes against humanity. looking at i think it's. looking get it so.

it is going to show. that. and from zero to ken says criminals should still be prosecuted regardless of their age. about ten years ago the german judicial authorities change their prosecution policy visa v. and that's the war criminals now any person who served in a nazi death camp a death camp is a concentration camp with the apparatus for mass annihilation which is either gas chambers or gas friends or served in the eyes that group can be almost automatically convicted. for service based on service alone. for example first of all one of the people denies participating in in any

atrocities he says that he was a mechanic but that's irrelevant in other words he was a mechanic working on cars or trucks that took the shoot is to the pits to kill the jews so there's no question he's an accessory to murder don't be fooled into seeing thrill of people think of people who in the flower of their youth with the height of their physical power they spent all their energy mass murdering innocent men women and children. russia's latest air strike in syria simply provinces killed forty nine of those are terrorists including seven commanders now today that raid also took out a weapons warehouse apparently yesterday wednesday russia's military also eliminated twelve high profile commanders from the same terror group with its main leader in a critical condition russian troops in syria continuing the special operation in response to an attack last month on russian military police forces it's coming up

to nine twenty seven moscow time thanks for playing with this all the latest all the time from us if you know even by t.v. and don't call more czech and have also shot platforms are some of the problems i'm kevin allen thanks ever so much for watching and do have a good day. america has a colony it's called puerto rico and they overcharge them for stuff and now there's a disaster there leave them 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. with this manufactured incentive to public wealth. when the ruling closest to protect themselves. with the flaming.

lips and neither will. ignore middle routes to. the real news. it's taken these children's homes. now it's ready to take their future. the volcano here could

erupt again at any time. most people have a stark choice. to live in poverty. what's going to come back. but some are following a different approach. it's. plain . to me. that by that hope for a better life. pct.
