the pro unity rallies held across spain and in the catalonia capital barcelona at the same time. launched a petition to ensure regional officials declared from the three. to sixty years since the u.s. entered afghanistan what's been achieved and lost in america's longest war. with the founder julian assange. western journalist remarks the recent coverage of the so-called russian. alleged interference in america plus. the president is the one that's keeping the chaos here that statement from the white

house press secretary comes amid the president's harsh rhetoric. a look at the military drills with south korea. international live from moscow with me kevin though in this hour it's just turned seven pm here so that's five in the afternoon in london and indeed that's where we're starting this bulletin again after several people are believed to have been injured when a car really amount to the pavement in central london but instead the natural history museum one of the u.k.'s biggest tourist attractions special or something afternoon london's metropolitan police are investigating at the moment they're reportedly not treating it still as a terror attack police say the driver has been detained and is now in custody the u.k. is of course on edge following several terror attacks this year. across

the latest from london we'll bring you the latest updates as we get them but that's well that's come out of the moment. next. to madrid and barcelona deepens following last week's independence referendum the latest protest in catalonia has been

calling for dialogue with the spanish government in a situation is a slow for us. thank god this entire square in front of the cattle on leaders headquarters is topped 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 from our that to me looks like the concentration it's just right here we cannot discount why that was the sales floor and saying we don't want to support this show people can talk who would want to speak about our program starting already been the case comes from the spanish government that we want to do it. with the most pressing i mean that is what the result of tension in our society there are various opinions and come to long as 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 allison has to confrontation but we don't want it to tony's a peace loving civilized region we have almost close this 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 some shock waves throughout the region here was it was well this comes as the media that we know is that the that's one regional parliament is trying to meet on tuesday along with the leader of the god of egypt 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 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 protest 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 council on the two ships is running out so he definitely wants to watch and he was gathered here today showing that he was yes was i do not need to go it was yes' i was a god thank you god yes thank the deputy said he was necessary to come out she was made up to ninety percent of the duty you ask you

even thank you very much as you write us a picture from barcelona meantime madrid's continuing to put pressure on the breakaway region as it sees the whole process is being illegal spain's foreign ministers warn that catalonia no risk becoming an at will state and it now seems like the leader of the breakaway region is softening maybe his stance 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 i can 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 party and i get to me i will make a direct appeal to the european union still the pro dependance camp in catalonia has launched a petition calling on authorities to stick with the secession plan ninety thousand

have signed it so far meantime calls are coming from catalan officials for president carlos where they want to speed up the independence process they think it's stalling however some members of his own party 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 and one from the process we do its latest move has to pass new laws well 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 them with several economists. i think it's the companies that are genuinely concerned about the break of the knoll and more importantly you know completely random the decision of which slows the chasm of government to buy to them which

ones they don't because this is this poses a significant risk for investment security and fall for many other issues. and he wanted to go new kind of republic is not dissing at audio the treaty system leasing the european union or the article money piece and then it would be outside the european union and outside the utah and outside paula. all the european central bank. although the headline aside ninety percent of cuts loading and voted for independence on the council on a referendum this past sunday these results are quite skoot because the estimates at that only forty two percent of the actual cuts alone in population turned up for the referendum and we know that a lot of controversy as well. elsewhere

this weekend 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 of mastermind of the nine eleven attacks but saw the beginning of the so-called war on terror america's longest running conflict head 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 the strait is carried down to us an answer danger sign saying afghanistan's been occupied by america it comes as the united nations has released new figures showing in dayton increasing casualties over the last twelve months. that 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 destroyed our house and our family members why the americans are killing our women and children every day in afghanistan and they just say sorry it was a mistake. was sitting in a room together and suddenly we had the massive bombardment of relig and i was injured. last night on the explosion happened i was near to my uncle and cousins and they're going soldiers opened fire in a bullet flew about my face i ran in here and came out only hours later my uncle and cousins were dead so i went to the village to tell everyone of fears of even greater civilian casualties are emerging to as the u.s. military now decided to relax its rules of engagement in afghanistan so your

accounts got the details about that. president announced a new strategy to the u.s. as 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 of engagement 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's almost a year now since donald trump shot victory in the twenty sixteen u.s. election and russia is still making the headlines too with just about any issue from the vote flagged up and then traced back to moscow with little or no evidence so with all that in mind wiki leaks as julian assange has tweeted a mock guide to modern western journalism we go france is on the argo took

a look. here is all you need 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 out spot on a songes guy 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 those from. this 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. major list lionel thinks the linking selling to russia has become so commonplace

these days people automatically take it as fact. when ever you say the russians weighed in on something the russians have bought ads the russians did something by that inclusion of the word russians you create this snuff arius connection russo phobic red scare kremlin baiting suggestion and it has been done with such frequency and such volume that people americans and the news people in particular themselves have how big you waited to this they've condition where they don't even ask any questions they don't go beyond the headline they just listen to this the russians did it again did what i don't know so joe you know sancia is absolutely. correct. so indifferent many when we come back a story but

a british teenager has pleaded guilty to trying to hog the computers of top u.s. officials a story much more just ninety seconds away. here's what people have been saying about rejecting the night was you know i was actually just full on awesome and i was the only show i go out of my way to launch you know

a lot of the really packs a punch at least yampa is the john oliver of mark t. america is doing the same we are apparently better than bluebell things but i see people you have never heard of love right back to the night my president of the world bank so there were many serious like send us an e-mail. position marches are taking place across russia today being called by the kremlin critic a blogger in a volley across the beatles group more about. ok well these protests that being held in cities across russia like you said and as some according the most birthday gift to president putin today the russian president celebrates his sixty fifth birthday in a plot to spoil the day and nationwide protests have been called by the prominent opposition figure alexina valmy now here in moscow resource when i was about seven

hundred people that's including the members of the press in a small number of attendees were detained they've now been released the rally is now over i should stress that these rallies taking place that none of them are being authorized by city or dorothy's organization is something you need to hold a rally with a huge number of people because of safety and traffic access and things like that so. the police have largely been there just to ensure safety and no violence breaks out so they've been very risk restrained and they've had a lot of restraint in being there today. just. petersburg and some other cities to say that's right like i said before on the campaign team they have these protests for eighty cities across russia and it's of petersburg which is president putin's hometown we're expected to see the largest protests to take place there and now we've seen around

a thousand votes sorry we've been keeping across that she waited in st petersburg because we have seen some confrontations there as protesters blocks police access so we're likely to see a number of arrests there were given of course the situation also around a thousand people turned up for a rally in the city of you catherine burke so reports are there have been small no . of detainees detained there but so far really what we're seeing today is a rather tame and more does turn out compared to the rallies we saw earlier this year that which were also called for by alexina felony bring you the latest throughout the evening or. as global powers friend of chaos and a number of crisis on go you clued in the nuclear threat of north korea the long drawn out war in syria the white house says there's one man holding it all together for the sake of world peace. i think that the president is the one that's keeping

the world from chaos to keep the world from truce or cease fire. totally destroy north korea it will be devastating i can tell you that. never stating. moochers we are standing. as an incredible team around them helping them believe that effort it has never been in the u.s. to care about what other countries say north korea will be destroyed and we all know that many of you 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 i mean problem solved. i think is crossed with most of the statements of the u.s. president we just devoted to north korea of late and of course north korea is not

known for leaving us threats going on and said pyongyang now then calling for a nationwide struggle against american actions he's described them as gangster like moves for domination and aggression the statement comes as a u.s. warship too is reportedly heading towards the korean peninsula for more drills with the south a political analyst i spoke to told me this still no united policy that 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 as 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 north korea to give up is new crowbar pins program. russian military says its latest round of air strikes in syria has killed a number of i still feel commanders who are originally from the north caucasus region of southern russia. reports. one hundred twenty fight is killed just by the russian air force and just over the last twenty four hours the russian ministry of defense says that a good amount of those fighters were foreigners from the central asian republics from various arab countries and countries of the former soviet union and that would be highly characteristic of isis wooding to many reports foreigners outnumber locals syrians within the ranks of isis but many of those casualties were suffered

by isis in the vicinity of. this city forty five kilometers south of there as sort of where we are now twenty four hours ago it was the largest city still held by isis in syria now it is perhaps the hottest battleground in syria was fighting lasting throughout the night and continuing now but the syrians are allegedly in possession of over half of the city more than fifty percent the northern and western side isis is rushing reinforcements to dean of the city the door expect an offensive of these ferocity but eighty people a.t.g. hardass were allegedly caught in a slew of russian airstrikes as well as eighteen technicals pickup trucks with mounted high caliber weapons nevertheless the fight there continues and isis is still rushing reinforcements. to prevent it symbolic fall. a pretty major is pretty guilty to trying to hack top u.s.

officials personal computers came down balloons or to stick it was only fifteen years old at the time when he tried to hack the computers of the cia chief and the head of security of the obama administration when he's released on bail these two to be sentenced by a british regional court in december mark chapman for nuclear power a party things can go close enough to the cia though for it to be pretty concerned . that's one for the cia to be looking at themselves it's very concerning that. however close he gulped whether or not he got in that it was close enough for them to be concerned for them to not just brush it off as i understand it they were personal computers but actually that distinction isn't 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 that passwords to get that everything that they know that they have to maybe you to then use that

information to access further. this news right up so for me kevin i would hear more scope units here in thirty minutes and the news of course and so much more including trucking what's happening in london there so the natural history museum of it does seem to come on a site called whenever you want to check it out of a good weekend. guys it's by that's all survival. when customers go by the reduced price. well reducing lower. that's undercutting but what's good for markets it's not good for the global economy. the city of luxury and free but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. simple fact in l.a. use 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 phoned 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 authorities accept such. tiny house. parking space is not a solution. someone monitoring the site otherwise it will be a free for all and is there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. i have the absolute conviction that to be europe. and russia have a common interest to look at closer cooperation and to see why i seem to be so important

to mobilize the driving force into business community but also in culture entertainment and sports we need to you know to get to societies much closer. thought. even though the very latest horrific shooting is taking up all the headlines where rico is still devastated and it drives me nuts to see the people struggling down there to see so much destruction and no one is talking about how our system created this instead trump is just throwing paper towels out of people like what is handed

out merchant to rap concert you know why not why not a presidential t.-shirt candidate. happy hurricane. yet we can't get your car out of a trade but we can give you a free magnet to use your phone. well what say you need more baby formula i have a hat for you. this think about this if one of these of monster billionaires the more for a family or more exotic a burger and you'll. would offer five billion dollars to the first person or corporation or organization that could get food and water to people the people of puerto rico do you think it would have gotten done quickly of course of course it was big giant pallets to bring those in debris started just ratings down of people they'd be docking from k.f.c. bucket to him in the head you think the state has a new problem out again past the mountains of boehner to block.
