the general reportedly. the police.

i would welcome for me kevin though in thanks for joining me this hour here in moscow at r.t. h.q. our top story the russia's prosecutor general is reportedly mulling over the option now of maybe recognizing some u.s. media channels as unwelcome here in russia that move is being considered as a retaliatory measure to a campaign against in the u.s. our channels editor in chief margaret is simone young says r t indeed is under unprecedented pressure in america she believes draconian measures are being used to target not just the networks employees us but also those linked to us the campaign against t.s.b. based on claims that our channel influence the twenty sixteen us election although

as ever no concrete evidence has ever been put forward or given none the less high ranking officials in washington could tinea to make those allegations. the r.t.s. on twitter were almost uniformly anti clinton and those i think you look at them and you have to conclude no there was a clear design in these ads so that's one congressman's opinion yet on the same day the senate intelligence committee probing alleged russian meddling for the complete opposite there is no way that you can look at that and say that that was to help the right side of the ideological charge and 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 create chaos at every level all of this is just the latest segment of the russians did it saga we're now all attention seems to have shifted to our channel and it's social media ads well it's no secret that r.t. does advertise on twitter and other platforms just like most other media outlets

the little blue bird sang a song of russian meddling last week and a report that disclosed how much we spend on ads the sum was two hundred seventy five thousand dollars and it's funny to consider is that being able to make a sufficient influence on the election when all the candidates spend about one billion dollars to make it look as if we've done something obscure shady or semi-legal summers or nonsense critters contacted us with their supposed to like cheney are you sure it is a presentation of the adverts so that is how much it cost and we'd reach recently google became the latest internet giant to jump on the anti r.t. bandwagon when it yanked us from its premium ad service in the us without any warning whatsoever now that move is unlikely to have an adverse effect on our channels reach as we are already the most feared news network on you tube and fact last month we hit the milestone of over five billion views nevertheless this ban only adds to the mounting pressure on the channel the. new active measures except

those terms getting our reputation have been taken against last specific number and so have we operate through. it's a kind of shared experience of danger to the point we threw. out of the country washington is absolutely insane with the idea that our tears out there they want to condemn it as somehow russian propaganda but the fact of the matter is whether you love r.t. or hate the idea that the us government can tell you what you can watch and can't watch the idea that there's a government censor or something like google in bed with the government telling you what you and or can't watch this is like something out in one thousand nine hundred four yeah assad is no world is more now wiki leaks founder julian assange has waded into slamming twitter for becoming in slaves by u.s. politics as he put it he says freedom of expression is suffer the decline of the social network he says he's going to be seeking an alternative media in future an

alternative platform and there's more president trumps also reacted to the latest statements made by the senate intelligence committee of allegations social media could be used to sway elections that's what he had to say about it he questioned why investigators aren't looking into u.s. news outlets and their possible role of manipulating public opinion with false reports is that the chairman of the committee responded to that little woman we're not going to investigate news organizations but we will use the findings of our reports to let them merican people hold every news organization accountable for what they portrayed as fact in many cases without sources at least no sources that would admit to it and i think when we finish our report we will find that quite a few news organizations ran stories that were not factual we told the director a grassroots political consulting done all for she he says he shares president terms concern over the state of america's media. we have about five corporations

that control or entire media bred a speedball are profiting off of them and it's completely controlled and at the same time you have congress investigating and seeking regulation on free media any alternative news media coming from international sources like this channel to bloggers social media now facebook having to go troll through with physical people so many different news stories that their focus is on shouting voices of anything that's not mainstream media it was an interesting tweet from president trump. meantime as you mentioned moscow is considered toiletry measures in response to washington's pressure on our correspondent. the kremlin has been pushed into a responding in a way that it would prefer not to this comes as the russian prosecutor general's office and other state bonds than are considering the possibility of a recognized activities of some us media on russian soil as undesirable now these kinds of measures are certainly not the preferred choice of the russian government

but it seems like they've been backed into a corner with no other choice to make here now the obvious concerns are not only how this will impact on the already fragile relations between russia and the u.s. but also how this could impact on freedom of the press and that's something that's also echoed by the kremlin spokes person to me to pascal we hope that the oppression against our to go unnoticed by international organizations that monitor freedom of media however if our media outlets writes of further violence we weren't excluded retaliates three measures would be based on the principle of equality now those comments come just one day after a working group of the federal federation council the upper house of the russian parliament held hearings to discuss the increasing pressure we've seen on russian journalists in the us and how their work is being restricted in this way now russia's foreign ministry spokesperson has said that tit for tat measures against american media on russian soil are still very much. that's able. the russian

foreign ministry can take countermeasures against journalists representing the media outlets of countries that have restrictions on russian journalists so what we still don't know at this point whether these that took the top measures will be taken if they are it would mean that channels like the big american networks like c.n.n. and fox would be removed from russian cable television however it would have no impact on the bureaus stationed here and journalists working here. as check out was having a space in there the latest is the catalan government's just announced the final official results of the independence referendum that was held sunday just over ninety percent of those who cast the vote support the split it seems from spain the turnout was forty three percent division in spain continues to intensify as pro unity and pro independence rallies have been held across the country and this is a choke it is in part of the force. we did see in madrid the chief of the capital and police had to appear in court along with another police officer and two pro independence activists on accusations of sedition which is basically rebellion

against the state potentially accused of getting in the way of spanish police operating on september twentieth at protests here in catalonia now they were released but will be reappearing in court as more evidence is provided this is certainly seen as something quite controversial because these are police officers there were just recently praised for their actions when it comes to the terrorist attacks that took place here in barcelona and so certainly something that has been seen as quite controversial but of course we have to keep in mind that the issue of police conduct has been at the forefront of this referendum ever since we have told her first a referendum did take place on sunday for more on that now let's go to our reporter . the violent police crackdown on catalans on the day of the referendum is often at the forefront in sandboy deliberate got near barcelona equipment and supplies sent by madrid to

a military base have been met with resistance the move is seen as preparation for more trouble to come as president bashar will be out after what happened on the first of october last patients we can bear to be beaten to a elderly people and our children to be treated badly lost almost a political we don't want security forces here they're preparing everything to bring repressive forces we saw how they behaved on the first of october we don't want either the civil guard or the national police i. was. the spanish national guard has been vilified since over eight hundred people were injured on polling day. was. towns around catalonia locals have demonstrated against the police there but pro unity supporters were against independence day the police about it within the role

. of police violence they did what they had to to restore law and order to really now we can also tell you that on tuesday the leader of the catalan region is going to be addressing parliament here that does also have plans to meet on monday to discuss further steps when it comes to declaring potentially declaring independence catalonia now this comes sort of in defiance of a ruling by the spanish spanish constitutional court that didn't decide yesterday that this kind of vote should not be taking place but of course they also did that with the referendum and that did indeed and up going ahead anyway. well a couple of presents now said green in quotes will intervene in parliament on choose day we're going to inform and pays all the political situation in the region he didn't mention independents at all political analysts chris bambery whether this was a way around the cold ban and. i would say it's a sidestep to avoid confronting the court but to go ahead with

a parliamentary me say so nonsense that i think it's a fairly good good move people are drawing the conclusion if the supreme court in spain can intervene in this manner again and again and again to overcome the will of the council on people what hope have we have any change within the context of the spanish state. explains government meantime representative in catalonia has apologized for the violence occurred riot police cheering last sunday's referendum joke on me when i see these images most of what i know the people that have been here as the host and even hospitalized think i can't help but regrets and apologize on behalf of the officers that intervened. i spoke to a company in peace too who told us that spanish authorities have breached e.u. law by using military force against the people of catalonia. we are come to the of the european union and the treaties explicitly say and clearly say that military power cannot use against the own population or oppression

a brutal repression that i saw in with my eyes in the streets of barcelona is called proportional proportion a reparation in the mouth of the. vice president the minimum shall we i think that it does not help today will be in unity government that i want a president i want ministers and i want to party and parliamentarians with jay. so maybe they will go to jail and government but i said put your money saying in the last months i don't want to go to jail but i'm ready to go to jail eve because i will have to be loyal to the democratic mandate that their population of catalunya is giving in the last elections and in the last referendum. we all have brains parents family brothers sisters who were killed by the police when we were going to board so this is squired shocking for all of us because we

are sure that will even out of the in the muck of existence so there are some things in the democratic seem to stand and this is one of the brutality of the police of the spanish police the last sunday is totally unacceptable. british pharmacist as we found guilty for spreading terrorist propaganda to children was sentenced to six years for showing graphic videos on his mobile phone to primary school children police reports. because i heard how. brainwashed these two boys of primary school aged children under the age of eleven he gave the boys sweets he showed them graphic beheading videos and told them the islamic state one bad people he asked them if they wanted to go to syria or to stay in the u.k. and they told him that they wanted to remain in the u.k. and he said that in that case he would want them to persuade others to join islamic

state this man was a pharmacist in northamptonshire that's a profession that's got you talking to a lot of people on a daily basis and according to some media reports he was even in the process of setting up a religious school so he's going to be sentenced today but the reality is that there are many more just like him across the country john haddest propaganda gets more clicks in the u.k. than it does anywhere else in europe and unfortunately there have been intelligence failures here in the country when it comes to stopping potentially dangerous individuals for example one of the london bridge attackers qur'an but it turns out that he appeared in a t.v. documentary called the jeff next door that was a year before he carried out that horrific attack in london bridge he was filmed in

that documentary undercover praying in the middle of london next to a black islamic flag he was pictured with notorious islamic preaches and when this became known the metropolitan police were forced to issue a statement saying that bart had been known to m i five but at the time there was no evidence to suggest that he had been planning an attack similar cases with the perpetrators of the manchester and the westminster attacks as well both salmen a bady and khalid miss to do. well known to the or thirty's before they carried out their terrorist attacks so there is a sense that there needs to be a greater effort made to try and stop these individuals from being radicalized before it's too late the investigation revealed a good road been posting tweets in which he expressed his extremist views and indorsement a voice of photos back in twenty four to the judge said that is actions were

a determined effort to radicalize children and turn them into terrorists this was a guy operating against every best practice in the u.k. so yes of course he's sure no remorse but why would he and why would all others when they see that when he's been caught and convicted he's been given a slap on the knuckles and told don't let it happen again that's not the way to deal with this guy come having been convicted of seeking to radicalize children primary school children he's been given six years six years maybe he'll be out in three years the message being sent is that we are absolutely inept when it comes to in the first instance cutting these people and then we do can't get them we give them these risible prison sentences this guy should have been stuck away in solitary for life and that's why the u.k. has got a particular problem we don't take she her seriously but the jihadists take us very seriously right here after the break donald trump keeps the media guessing over

a possible sea change in relations with iran. in case you're new to the game this is how it works the economy is built around corporate operation from washington to washington to meet. the. voters elect the businessman to run this country business if. you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before.

you. again so don't know one of sounding statement of journalists following a meeting with top u.s. military officials at the white house seems he suggested the talks on thursday during which north korea and iran were discussed were present to some kind of major event then he declined to comment further. but he. looks to me. well during the discussions with his military chief trump criticized iran from not following the nuclear deal to slash its stockpile. we must not allow

a red to attain to obtain nuclear weapons the iranian regime supports terrorism and exports violence bloodshed and chaos across the middle east that is why we must put an end to our rants continued aggression and nuclear ambitions they have not lived up to the spirit of their agreement however iran had to previously been fulfilling the deal brokered by former us president barack obama's administration transshipped over a dozen tons of enrich uranium overhead in russia and close thousands of specified nuclear facilities including the removal of reactor on tuesday u.s. defense sector james mattis stressed that washington won't pull out of the deal if iran continues to meet the requirements. if we can confirm that iran is living by the agreement if we can determine that this is in our best interest and

clearly we should stay with it so many call it was that we can use on administration and i do believe that i was speaking with the u.s. congress which is being you know we are there is just that buys actions against unarmed and he would sell them. wrap it there is a common sense of. community in a night as well as an international and we need new. laws and if this graph in the euro resumes it is that was where were we. and this very crisis of choice. it turns out. was the deadliest month of twenty seventeen for civilians in syria according to the un's regional humanitarian coordinator there the violence has escalated as the battle to retake isis form a stronghold comes closer to an end it was once home to more than two hundred

thousand civilians but now those are the only building left on touched as you can see civilians displaced from the city told us how they managed to flee the u.s. led coalition airstrikes. over eight of them recently collison air forces were ready to demolish the whole building to target one member of i so they have no problem killing civilians. we ran from death and fear any human being would be afraid the sound of the planes makes us supreme they were shelling the civilians strong buildings and houses we fled from the shelling in the correlation has definitely destroyed the country it killed many civilians i lost children and friends. and our blackall was destroyed by a coalition aircraft only ten percent hit the targets the rest hit civilians the massacre of civilians was something unimaginable. six suspects been arrested

in an investigation into a failed bombing in an upmarket paris neighborhood an explosive device was found on saturday and at that point five suspects were arrested to the homemade bomb consisted of four gas canisters which were wired to detonate by mobile phone the explosives were found by a local resident now must have been a shock it comes as a new anti terror law is being passed through the french parliament and is expected to be adopted later this month r.t. charlotte do bensky them takes a closer look at this new legislation and what's proposed. potts's been under a state of emergency for almost two years and dumped is about to end the catch is that essentially it becomes permanent with many of these emergency powers being signed into law under the new law already approved by the lower house of the french parliament the police will have moved no is just such close to carry out stop and

search operations so why a top phone and e-mail communications it will also allow the closure of places of worship suspected of inciting terrorism and placing alleged jihadi sympathizers amanda house wraps now a recent poll in france suggested that fifty seven percent of people are in favor of the law even if sixty two percent think it will be to use their freedoms. i think this will become dangerous in the long run and why be beneficial today they say it's against terrorists tomorrow against ecological protestors and anti global it's just a day after tomorrow it will be against journalists they say there's a pandora's box. of space here and i think this limits freedom because to this time believe the whole program is useless human rights activists say it's so gross violation of privacy even emmanuel mock or him so you've admitted that these

measures do not to war against terrorism so why are they passing them maybe the regime is getting weak maybe they are anticipating social unrest maybe they just want to chase around public opinion and tell them we are doing something but what we need is for the french government to do the work thing and the right thing would be to force us to question why do these terrorist attacks happen and second world with their keep happening in montreal my call pledged to end the states of emergency by november and peace is key to him keeping back. and while there is no doubt that this will be stopped the powers of the police it's unclear if it will the people cause any more safety despite the sacrifice of liberty so that people skiing. it's. trains car collided with

a crowded bus about two hundred kilometers northeast of moscow at least sixteen people confirmed dead that number the things going to rise to or flex on this one the coach was traveling from to the russian capital when it stalled on a railroad crossing during the night according to officials thirty four passengers then tried to push the bus off the tracks but it's too late the train driver initiated emergency stop couldn't avoid the collision police are investigating the accident they can find out more about that terrible instant more pictures in coverage of our site dot com it's twenty six minutes past six leaving here in moscow thanks for watching this friday hope you day's going to it i'm kevin zero in on the boat with more than in just but half an eye was time maybe join me then if you can. los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people

living in the streets. a simple fact in elway's there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in it's been a struggle. this man found his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the earth orders except such to. tiny house on a city parking space is not a solution you heard someone wanted to ring the site otherwise it'll be a free for all they're a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us is

a full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch. yeah it is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than blue best. and see people you never heard of love redacted tonight president of the world bank so take. me seriously send us an e-mail the spanish government should be reviewed to accept a lot of sort. of with. full information to people what does it mean but it means independence with means and him so tell me so and see the question perhaps should not be only yes in those two independents but those will. in him so tall on the floor of the moon. it's taken these children's hopes. now it's threatens to take their
