russia's prosecutor general reportedly considers registering american media outlets as quote unwelcome here in russia in response to the unprecedented pressure r.t.d. has faced over the states. while president trump calls for a senate investigation into what he called fake news networks in the united states plus coming up through this thirty minute date the head of the banished government in catalonia apologizes for the violence on referendum day in that breakaway region but says nonetheless the police were justified in their actions we've got live comments coming up where that's going to go and. this has been found guilty for spreading terrorist propaganda among children in the latest example of

the growing threat of islamic extremism in the united kingdom. very good evening for me kevin owen here in moscow tonight at r.t. h.q. thanks for watching it's just turned seven pm now top story than russia's prosecutor general is reportedly mulling over the option of recognizing some u.s. media channels as unwelcome here in russia now now that move is being considered as a retaliatory measure to a campaign against r.t. over in the united states channels editor in chief margaret is simonyan says that r.t. is under unprecedented pressure in america she believes draconian measures are being used to target not just us the networks employees but also those linked to us to the campaign against our team has been based on claims that our channel influenced the twenty sixteen us election although no concrete evidence has ever been given

nonetheless high ranking officials in washington continue to make the allegations. the archie ads 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 so 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 our t.v. does advertise on twitter and other platforms just like most other media outlets the little bluebird sing 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 contacted us with their pros who went through it and like cheney of course are you sure it is that. hurts because it is how much it cost and we don't 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 and so recently new active measures excessive reputation have been taken against last pacifically no where

have we operate through. it's the kind of pressure we experience again due to the point it's ritually forced 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 in a sudden it will no wiki leaks founder julian assange has waded into slamming twitter for becoming as he put it in slaves by u.s. politics he says that freedom of expression suffered a real decline in the social network and he says from now on he's going to be seeking to speak on alternative platform meantime there's more president trump's

also reacted to the latest statements made by the senate intelligence committee over a delegation social media could be used to sway elections you see he said he questioned why investigators are looking into u.s. news outlets and their possible role of manipulating public opinion with false reports is how the chairman of the committee responded to that than. 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 run stories that were not factual we talked to the director of grassroots political consulting daniel for us she he says he shares president trump's concern over the state of america's media right now. we have about five corporations that control or entire media berettas people 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 and it was an interesting tweet from president trump the times he mentioned moscow's considering retaliatory measures now than in response to washington's pressure on us. but making our own has more was going to go. the kremlin has been pushed into responding in a way that it would prefer not to this comes as the russian prosecutor general's office and other state bodies they're not considering the possibility of the 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 us but also how this could impact on the freedom of the press and that's something that's also echoed by the kremlin spokes person to be true pascals we hope that the oppression against our weren't go unnoticed by international organizations that monitor freedom of media however if our media outlets writes of further violence and we weren't excluded retaliates three measures based on the principle of equality now those comments come just one day after a working group 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 on the table. the russian foreign ministry counter measures against journalists representing media outlets of

countries that have restrictions on russian journalists so what we still don't know at this point whether the tiptop 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. we'll keep you posted on it's going to go truckin this next to developing story big story development capital and governments just announced the final official results of the independence referendum that was held on sunday came in just an hour or so ago seems just over ninety percent. of those who cost the vote said they'd support the split from spain the turnout was forty three percent the vision in spain continues to indents intensify meantime as pro unity and pro independent rallies have been held across the country and a situation is in barcelona monitoring it for us. we did see in madrid the chief of

the capsule 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 visit australia after what happened on the first of october will most patients we can bear to be beaten to a elderly people and children to be treated badly. 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. the spanish national guard has been vilified since over eight hundred people were injured on polling day.

towns around catalonia locals who demonstrated against the police being there but proved unity supporters were against independence and the police about it within the role. of police violence they did what they had to do to restore law and order now we can also tell you that on tuesday the leader of the catalan region is going to be addressing the regional parliament here that does also have plans to meet on monday to discuss further steps when it comes to declaring potentially declaring the independence of catalonia now this comes sort of in defiance of a ruling by the spirit a spanish constitutional court that did 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. president meantime snow said he will intervene in parliament on choose david only to form a piece of the political situation in the region he didn't crucially mention independence whole political analyst chris bambery whether that was

a way around the court found that. i would say it's a sidestep to avoid confronting the court but to go ahead with a parliamentary me said so nonsense i think it's a fairly good good move people are drawing the conclusion of the supreme court in spain to 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 other developments spain's government representative in catalonia has apologized for the violence carried out by riot police during last sunday's referendum. when i see these images when i know that people have been hit pushed and even hospitalized i can't help but regret and apologize on behalf of the officers that intervened. spanish government to talk to the new law to make it easier for companies to relocate away from catalonia fearing the worst may be several banks as well as energy telecommunications and textile companies

have already decided to move their h.q.'s away from the region let's get some comment on this live from. thanks for being with us so companies moving out of catalonia that is the government stepping up pressure or is it madrid trying to salvage what it can now with soon as it can. i don't think it is about madrid putting pressure i think it's the companies that are genuinely concerned about the break of the law and more importantly. you know completely random the decision of which laws does the government abide to and which ones they don't because this is this poses a significant risk for investment security and for many other issues these are global companies they don't need to be headquartered in catalonia they can be headquartered anywhere it takes as we have seen very very little for these companies to change their headquarters we have seen major banks energy companies

automobile companies change their headquarters very very quickly basically searching for security low security and to move the risk of a unilateral action of a session that could trigger a domino effect against their own job with. the still have a long way to go until actual independence if it ever did. i think it's also a message isn't it i think that at the end of the day these companies have to have never been. volved in politics have never tried to influence obviously politicians and have never talked about this issue they didn't take any interview on the on of these issues of the illegal referendum etc but what they cannot do is simply sit down and wait for many things that are being presented as options that are strongly concerned we're talking about. parties in the separatist

movement that are calling for confiscation of assets were talking. truly concerning and i think that they're sending a message i think that they're sending a message first to their shareholders their clients and. and in general with everyone all of the stakeholders why that surround their activities i take a much you say about the uncertainty there but catalonia creates twenty percent of spain's g.d.p. that's been well catalogued at these companies been doing ok there in the past why is there any reason to think that they would be doing ok there in the future. oh world to start with we only need three read the document of the separatists have prepared as a sort of pre constitution transition document starts from confiscation it includes risk of. payment standard and poor's the rating agency has also

presented shown that there is a very significant risk of the catalonian bond which is already junk bond being downgraded and that obviously has very significant ramifications for all the companies involved so having the headquarter of your a global company having the headquarters in a city doesn't this that this is actually something that we don't need to do unless you you feel that there is an opportunity that there is security for investment etc why would they not be happy to. continued to be there precisely because of the of the risk. knows how to spin so to be a couple of. of the number that turned ninety percent of them said they wanted to go it alone surely they must have considered this that companies would up and leave described. unfortunately it hasn't and unfortunately the picture that has

been sold by the separatists has been some sort of. wonderland in which companies would not only not leave but and i quote fight to come to catalonia because of the fantastic opportunity they would be. there is one of the problems of the situation is that the propaganda was so intense in terms of selling some sort of magical expansionary secession that when that these things in reality then when they happen they become as a shock but they weren't a shock many people had had talked about it you talked about a ninety percent turnout you know the. whole referendum was called a fraud even the dutch. the dutch people that came as supervisors published a report saying that there were no no. that you could consider as

acceptable there were seventy five minutes a pallet sees in which more than one hundred percent of the population voted yes i mean to be fairly honest it's a subterfuge of democracy this is not a question it's not a question of that in any case there were there's been in the past six years. catalonia has voted more than five times and the separatists have never reached that more than thirty nine percent of the vote but that is not even the case the question here is is whether companies can afford to stand. the poor in in a region in which not only. the politicians are basically deciding unilaterally which more the following which flows they don't but also that they have the same time and i'm reading right now from one of the of the separatist movement bronte's that they're calling for expropriation. for.

a lot of companies or some companies we're talking about feel they don't want to stick around even if this doesn't happen but thanks for your thoughts from madrid so you feel strongly about it on your financial expert could have you thought about international. thanks so much. stock in this next pharmacist has been found guilty for spreading terrorist propaganda to children. sentenced to six years for showing graphic twitter videos on his mobile phone to primary school children police reports the court heard how his amir brainwashed these two boys of primary school age that children under the age of eleven he gave the boys sweets he showed them graphic behead his and told them that 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 the 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 came across the country you had just 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 karumba but it turns out that he appeared in a t.v. documentary called the jet 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 sound a bady and hallowed mr were 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 bring posting tweets in which he expresses extremist views of the voice mail for it has broken through the food to the judge

said determined food to rather close 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 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 catching these people and then when 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 seriously but the jihadists take us very seriously

you are international right here after the break donald trump keeps the media guessing over possible sea change in relations with iran. manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling class is to protect themselves. with the famous. one percent. we can all middle of the room sick.

again donald trump's made enormous sounding statement to journalists following a meeting with top u.s. military officials at the white house he suggested that the talks on thursday during which north korea and iran were discussed were friendly to some kind of major event but then the didn't comment any further check this. pretty. soon. so none the wiser for now at least during the discussion with his military chiefs trump criticized the ground for not following the nuclear deal to slash its

stockpile. we must not allow our 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 iran's continued aggression and nuclear ambitions they have not lived up to the spirit of their agreement however ron had previously been fulfilling the deal brokered by former us president barack obama's administration to run shipped over a dozen tons of enriched uranium movie to russia also close thousands of specified nuclear facilities including the removal of the reactor on choose day us to friend sex with james mattis stressed though 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 people it was that we didn't use on administration i don't believe that i was speaking with us congress which is. you know it is just actions that. i only sell like this rapid there's a lot of time since i'm. the community. as well as an international family. and it's this grass in the ground it was. it is it was where were. and this city crisis of choice. every side story coming from russia today trains collided with a crowded bus about two hundred kilometers northeast of moscow at least seven people are confirmed seventeen people now just updated my are confirmed dead while

that number may rise further the coach was traveling from kazakstan to the russian capital when it's still stalled on a railroad crossing you can see the mess that this i'm joined tonight by the way according to officials thirty four passengers tried to push the bus off the tracks they didn't manage to do it in time the train driver again initiated emergency stop but as you can see couldn't avoid that collision so seventeen dead in that police investigating the accident keep across that no rest on the site or any of the platforms or side causality dot com it's twenty seven minutes past seven even more . stay with us if you can. only one of the sort of terrorism terrorism is very big for terrorism is not the

primary killer in america americans are the gun debate is important but why is america so. los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. or fact in l.a. it's not a shelter even if people on the streets right now because of the comment there's no where to come in and it's been a struggle. running into this man from his own response to the bomb and dozens of. people in a shelter. go. you know having something like this will be a task except such solution. me house the side of the parking space is not a solution your craft or someone wanted touring the site otherwise would be a free for all there a better alternative the homelessness crisis. seems

wrong. just don't. get to shape out. because etiquette and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just of the for common ground. when his government should be ready to accept that if.
