nor middle of the room. pro unity rallies are held across spain and in the catalonia capital barcelona this weekend at the same time catalans of launch the petition to pressure regional officials to declare independence from madrid cross it all we'll bring you up to speed. coming up to six sixteen years since the u.s. entered afghanistan we looked this up what's been achieved what's been lost in america's longest war. wiki leaks founder julian assange offers a twist on western journalism as he mocks the recent coverage of the so-called

russia gate and the country's alleged interference of america plus. the president one that's keeping the world from chaos that statement from the white house press secretary comes amid the president's harsh rhetoric and upcoming military drills with south korea. by their very good afternoon for me kevin zero in this is art international live from moscow just turned six pm here says four in the afternoon in london that's where we're starting this bullet in the developing news stories you've seen the red . these latest live pictures in from london where several people have believed have been injured after a car mounted the pavement in central london earlier on. natural history museum one of the biggest tourist attractions london police are investigating at the. they are

reportedly not treating it as a terror attack police say the driver has been detained it looks like the car is thought to be the black tide of price they're the guys being held in custody the u.k. of course on edge following several terror attacks this year. yes

but a bad cheer for u.k. for london most about those live pictures you can see a lot of police presence there now it seems the police are for the three hundred meter cordon around the scene has been reported and has been manned by police stretching basically for the natural history museum on the way up to the nearby victorian albert museum both really busy on a saturday afternoon with tourists there one of the busiest a tourist attractions in the u.k. museum staff probably shut their doors to visit is that a that incident unfolded only allowing tourists to leave the attraction. as a set the moment it looks like everything's under control we don't know the extent of the injuries but it is thought the people were injured the police at the moment not making any connection with terrorism but of course the u.k. on high alert still in march this year member khaled masood drove that car into pedestrians a westminster bridge that killed four injured more than fifty and then months after

that islam is terrorist killed eight and injured another forty eight using that van driver the crowds at london bridge people that there's a lot of injuries there and they jumped at the stab to people in bars and restaurants so latest is an event unfortunate event not been tied in with terrorism of the. moment we think a black toyota prius car involved the amount of the pavement hit people in custody over that a man we believe so if we get more and it will bring up to speed. elsewhere a big story of course this weekend was been ongoing all week but particularly in spain in the past alone or as the standoff between madrid and barcelona deepens following last week's independence referendum now the latest protest today in catalonia has been calling for dialogue with the spanish government covering our correspondent in barcelona. thank god this entire square in front of

the cattle on leaders headquarters is popped with thousands of people dressed in white who are here to call for dialogue they don't want any harsh decisions and steps to be taken let's take a listen to what people have been saying here right now that to me looks like the conservation it's just right here we cannot discount air quality was the sales floor saying we don't want to go for fishing people from tulsa who would want to speak about our program starting already been the case since from the spanish government that we want to do it. with the most pristine i mean that is still the result of tension in our society there are various opinions in catalonia many of us have no voice we don't want cruelty we want peace peaceful coexistence and we don't want any confrontation wasn't politicians alison has a confrontation but we don't want it to tony's a peace loving civilized region we have almost closed systems in peace was going on right now is madness and it's no wonder that these people are calling for dialogue

and no more confrontation because images of violence like these ones really sent shock waves throughout the region here was the only was this comes as the latest that we know of is that the that's one regional parliament responding to meet on tuesday along with the leader of the cause was going to potentially launch the process of them to come to us because this continues to be resisted by madrid to try to get in the way of this by blocking the initial meeting that was supposed to take place on monday but we do know that the talks on leadership did say that. we did forty eight hours of counting up all the votes of the of trouble first referendum they would go ahead with this process and it does seem that this is

still the intention but this is yet another protest of many that have been taking place here throughout catalonia in the last week where we have seen people protests for independence we have seen people protesting against independence now these people are saying let's take a break and talk to each other which they think is crucial at this particular moment as sort of this deadline announced by the cats land leadership is running out so he definitely wants to watch and he was gathered here today showing that because he was yes he was actually you need to god and russia that he was a god like you look yes i think they represent he was necessary come out she was made good ninety percent of the people do you ask you to evacuate and struck you. as continuing to put pressure on the breakaway region as it sees the whole process as

a legal spain's foreign minister's wall that catalonia no risk becoming an outlaw state over it now seems like even the leader of the break we're region is softening somewhat in the face of madrid's opposition. no mother little daughter the day after the first of october we will start a new period taking into consideration the will of the castle and go not do not underestimate the strength of the people of catalonia. a woman of the situation asks for mediation and mediation means that we need a third passes and i get to me i will make a direct appeal to the european union still though the pro dependents camp in catalonia has launched a petition calling on authorities to stick with us a session planned ninety thousand have signed it so far meantime calls are coming from kaplan officials for president charles probably want to speed up the independence process but that most of his own parties were are emphasizing that things must be handled as they put it the right way. the struggle for independence

unites us but we need to make things straight we have to try not to loose or expel anyone from the process it rids latest move to is to pass a new law making it easier for companies to relocate away from catalonia several banks as well as energy telecommunication and textile companies of already decided to move their age cues out of the region the recent business exodus was among the topics we discussed with several economists. 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 to buy to them which ones they don't because this is this poses a significant risk for investment security and for for many other issues. and you prepared to go new card over bobrick is not dissin yet audio the treaties

to start receiving the european union or the article one of these and then it would be outside the european union and outside the utah and outside the caller. although europe and central park. although the headline aside ninety percent of cuts loading and voted for independence one of the cuts on a referendum this past sunday these results are quite screwed because estimates at that only forty two percent of the actual cuts learning and population turned up for the referendum and we know there was a lot of controversy as well. for . this weekend today in fact saturday marks sixteen years since the u.s. invasion of afghanistan in two thousand and one then president george w.

bush accused the afghan government of sheltering the al qaeda leaders who masterminded the nine eleven attacks that saw the beginning of the so-called war on terror now america's longest running conflict ahead of the anniversary hundreds of people have been protesting in the afghan capital kabul against the continued presence of u.s. troops in the country demonstrators carried down cus amounts of nato signs saying afghanistan as far as they're concerned been occupied by america this comes as the united nations now has released new figures show. increasing casualties over the last twelve months. he says any for me i was praying in my house and when i saw american helicopters i told my wife and children to save themselves after that i just heard a loud noise and then my house was destroyed six people were wounded including women and children. they destroy our house and our family members wife that

americans are killing our women and children every day in afghanistan and they just say sorry it was a mistake. sitting in a room together and suddenly we had the massive bombardment of village and i was injured . when the explosion happened i was near to my uncle and cousins american soldiers opened fire and a bullet flew about my face i ran in here and came out on the hours later my uncle and cousins were dead so i went to the village to tell everyone. fears of even greater civilian casualties are emerging too as the u.s. military has decided to relax its rules of engagement now in afghanistan samir khan's got the details about the. president trump announced a new strategy to the u.s. this sixteen year long war over a month ago which is just outlined by the pentagon chief earlier this week the old

rules included. both rules of being under rules mcg. ajman and operating principles included a requirement for proximity of the enemy to be engaged by our air forces so i've removed proximity and that in itself open to the enemy were ever they are found to the nato air support so u.s. forces will now be fully engaged in afghanistan giving authorization to launch direct off kinds of measures against the taliban previously having only defensive permissions general mattis also announced that the u.s. now france to place a military advisors in almost every afghan unit we have got to reorganize or are advisors because those units with nato and american advisors win and those without them often do not win so we're going to spread the number of units with advisors but how much of a shift will this really be on my orders the united states military has begun

strikes against al qaeda terrorist training camps and military installations of the taliban regime and afghanistan commander in chief i have determined that it is in our vital national interest to send an additional thirty thousand u.s. troops to afghanistan starting next month we will be able to remove ten thousand of our troops from afghanistan by the end of this year is it going to require additional u.s. troops who believe it will involve additional forces so far it seems like every u.s. strategy in afghanistan has failed now the taliban still controls or contests forty percent of the country and it's unclear if these new policies will make any difference at all clearly they're not learning anything from the past but i would argue that the system that we are using to. make foreign policy national security policy is not geared to learning from the past of course as everyone knows the united states was unable to achieve the goal that it set for itself which was to.

basically put the taliban movement on the defensive and prevent them from being able to continue their advance now we're seeing united states paranoia trying to do something along the same line with far fewer troops obviously on the face of it it's an absurd idea one cannot fathom how they could imagine that they could be successful in this. it was to your own from donald trump shot victory in the twenty six thousand us election and russia still making the headlines with just about any issue from the vote flagged up and then trace straight back to moscow with little or no evidence with all that in mind then wiki leaks editor julian assange has tweeted a guide to modern western journalism francis and they are going to take a look. here is only to know to become a top mainstream western journalist these days giuliana sun she has just put together the perfect guide for all you want to be media pros first randomly pick

and newsworthy event make sure it's one the russians will definitely cover now all you got to do is blame the kremlin for covertly pulling the strings behind that event why well because the russian press was covering it in the midst of the ever growing hysteria of russian particularly r.t.s. meddling in u.s. politics let's see whether songes russian hysteria guide is being thoroughly followed global event brags it made its way across the globe everyone reported in this major global event including russia of course and guess what brags that somehow got added to the list of russian involvement or for that matter any election this past year.

i guess we can solidify house bought on a songes guide really is because even in catalonia that never had anything to do with russia moscow somehow got the blame for the catalans will to cede from spain simply because well russia that's right reported on it and now we're getting to the most important part of the guide the motive which according to songe is of course profit them on c.n.n. constantly like russia the structure of. this is rating. when you see the news tomorrow and there is something fishy about russia just remember you already know the formula for that headline axis and ya go r.t. . more the day's news coming up a british teenager pleads guilty to trying to hack the computers of top u.s. officials that story much more or after this quick break.

manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling class is protect themselves. the roots to. the.

political opposition marches taking place across russia today that's been called by the kremlin critic a blogger looks in the valley and he arms across it by the what was the term like mickey well that's quite modest really a comparison to the process we saw organized by the opposition figure earlier this year these protests of being housed across the seas and across the country today and most them according a birthday gift for the russian president and of course today vladimir putin marks his sixty fifth birthday and in a plot to spoil. a day if you like nationwide protests have been called for the opposition figure alexy valen the now like i said on

a turnout of about seven hundred people including the press here in the russian capital about it's now over there were a couple of arrests and those people have now been released and these protests started taking place without authorization of the city or dorothy illegal wish to be only for people that kind of watch this approval call what you need to be authorized is the way it works so you give him a certain slaughter if you want to go and you can do between and through form of the afternoon but if you don't do the local to the rest of the way it works you know absolutely if you're putting together a huge group of people then it's going to it's going to affect traffic and everything else is the safety concern and so you need authorization from the city with already not just in moscow has been having across russia that's right yes we were across that the situation right now we've just seen the protest in st petersburg which is their president putin's hometown that's just kicked off with you because the situation that we're showing you some pictures on your screen now

of a few people still a very modest turnout like i said compared to see the process we saw earlier this year and we've also seen around a thousand people in the catcher in the year old city and there's been a few arrests there. launch lee lackluster in comparison to before. the book could have done earlier on a radio show but it's not too cold not too bad if people would take the streets ok or a cross that would have a coming out. the story we're following the british teenagers pleaded guilty to trying to hijack top u.s. officials personal computers goes no you may remember it came. on autistic guy was a fifteen years old and he tried to party to the computers of the cia chief and the head of security of the obama administration came was released on bail and is due to be sentenced by a british regional court in december this spring a spokesperson for the u.k. power. part of mark chapman other mark thank you filed today. charged with

attempting to hack into these computers did he actually get any sensitive information along the way or not as you know. well the important thing to note here there is that he pled guilty to the hacking allegations and that's only something that we don't condone but there's a serious concern here about the vulnerability of american computers because if a british teenager can get access or even look to get enough access that he's been caught they have something or other other be they from rogue states be they from anyone wishing to do the us harm that is very concerning you are these personal computers or were they kind of sensitive computers you know with sensitive highly. sensitive personal information on the were they just some of these laptops what were they. as i understand it they were personal computers

but actually that distinction isn't pap's is significant is as people will often make out if you can access someone's personal computer you learn all about their life you can then use that information to get their passwords to get their everything that they you know that they have to maybe you to then use that information to access further so do you think questions are being asked within the cia and u.s. securities agencies you know how did this guy managed even though we don't think the guardian of these admitted that he attempted to get this information but rewind this if he didn't get in does that does that not mean that the what was in place the security here actually worked or just by luck he didn't get it. that's one for this cia to be looking at themselves clearly it's very concerning that. however close he got whether or not he got. when it was close enough for them to be concerned for them to not just brush it off but to go to the effort of

informing. u.k. government of putting the the arrest in place and you know for him to have to plead guilty to these charges this guy is autistic only about what fifteen years old when he committed these crimes he's now said these were they go lightly on him because of the fact that he was young because he was autistic or not. it's hard to tell i think it would be very it would be the right thing to do if that was the case however we've seen certainly we saw with gary mckinnon that the certainly the element of. autism isn't something that will be taken into account his age might well be but again. you know that is. in this is this is a child when he was committing those crimes we will have to see what happens in course it will mark for now thanks so much mark chapman spokesperson for the party

thanks with. thanks very much. global powers friend of chaos in a number of crisis including the ongoing nuclear threat of north korea and the very ongoing war in syria the white house says there's one man holding it all together and the sake of will peace. i think that the president is the one that's keeping the world from chaos to keep the world from traditional us. totally destroying north korea it would be devastating i could tell you the. devastating. moochers we are sending. as an incredible team around them helping them believe that effort it has never moved us to care about what other countries say north korea will be destroyed and we all know that we have many. goals and had tremendous accomplishments on the international stage iran deal was

one of the worst and most one sided transaction the united states has ever entered and we're going to continue doing that we're going to continue doing that as a team with the president leading that effort these problems will be so i mean problem solved. well most of the statements of the u.s. president of late we just heard with devoted to north korea and its north korea for leaving us threats going on so the the called for a nationwide struggle now against american actions as they put it is described as quote gangster like moves for domination of aggression the statement comes as a u.s. warships reportedly heading towards the korean peninsula for more drills with the south want to keep an eye on a political analyst we spoke to says the still no united policy towards pyongyang coming from washington. we do not see a credible strategy on the part of that on those from administration it is not prepared to negotiate to offer a grand bargain and it does not really have

a credible military strategy at the time at this stage surgical strike against north korean nuclear. capabilities are also very risky such a surgical strike will be opposed by south korea as well as strongly by china and russia and we also know for sure that diplomatic condemnation and economic sanctions are not going to push or a north korea to give up is new program pins program. before say goodbye for now but again in thirty minutes the latest live update let's take these live pictures coming through from london and that developing story in the take of the screens in red several people have been injured early this afternoon after a car mounted the pavement in central london it happened near the natural history museum one of the u.k.'s biggest tourist attractions police are investigating at

the moment they're reportedly not treating it as a terror it's not much to see in those pictures after police say the driver looks like a black toyota has been detained and is now in custody because bringing you the latest on this as we get it there was the scene there is the black car in question of a man that was taken into custody we believe we think just one person involved thus far. from the latest. here's what people have been saying about rejected in that it's you know i think it's full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to like you know what it is that really packs a punch at least yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than booth. and see people you've never heard of love redacted tonight president of the world bank. and the world many seriously send us an

e-mail. if you take an economics course you're taught that markets are based on informed consumers making rational judgments suppose you turn on the television set or. take a look at the. moment are they trying to create informed consumers making rational choices contrary they're trying to create an uninformed consumers who will act irrationally in the so huge industry one of the biggest industries in the country. like a. war in. health that's what i'd like to say pleasantly plump.
