journalism as he mocks the coverage of depicting russia as a malign power meddling in other countries affairs. are broadcasting live in the studios from moscow this is our international thomas quite happy for us. all right as the standoff between spain and catalonia devens following last week's independence referendum protests urging unity and a dialogue have been held across the country and associate you're going to reports now from barcelona thank you sometimes square in front of the catalan leader's headquarters is packed 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 but now that it seems looks like the conservation it's just right here we cannot discount. the we have to say

a little more and say we don't want to support the show people can talk but we want to speak about our program so tomorrow be indications from the spanish government that we want to do it. with the most risky i mean talk and see what 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 was in politicians allison has to confrontation but we don't want it to tony's a peace loving civilized region we have almost coexistence in peace was going on right now is madness and it's no wonder that these people are calling for dialogue no more confrontation because images of violence like these ones really sent shock waves throughout the region here. i was i i was.

was this comes as the media was that the couch one regional parliament is trying to meet on tuesday along with the leader of the cause why did you was going to potentially launch the process of going to kind of was this going to be 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 facts 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 and 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 roll take a break and talk to each other which they think is crucial at this particular

moment was sort of this deadline announced by the council on the new ship is running out so he definitely wants to watch these guys gathered here today was showing that he was yes was whether or not you need to go it wasn't that he was a god god god god god are you saying they represent because it was necessary to come out she wasn't made good night she said she was eager to do they would take a break was madrid is continuing to put pressure on the troubled region and stresses that it considers the whole process illegal spain's foreign minister has warned and catalonia risks becoming an outlaw state and it now seems even the cut along leader is softening its stance faced with madrid staunch opposition.

the day after the first of october we will start a new period taking into consideration the will of the castle and us cannot do not underestimate the strength of the people of catalonia. a woman upon 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 the pro independence camp in catalonia has launched a petition calling on authorities to stick with the succession plan over ninety thousand people have signed it so far calls are also coming from catalan officials for president car less. to speed up in the independence process but members of his own party say that things must be handled in the right way the struggle for independence unites us but we need to make things right we have to try not to loose or expel anyone from the process and a further development in the country madrid has passed a new law making it easier for companies to relocate away from catalonia several

banks as well as energy telecommunication and textile companies have already decided to move their headquarters out of the region the recent business exit it was among the topics we discussed with several economists. i think it's the companies that are genuinely concerned about the break of the lol and more importantly you know completely random the decision of which laws does the present government to buy to them which ones they don't because this is this poses a significant risk for investment security and full for many other issues. and he prepared 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 alone against votes that for independence on the council on a referendum this past sunday these results are quite skoot because the estimates that only forty two percent of the actual cuts learning and population turned up for the referendum and we know that a lot of controversy as well. was a number of regional crises threaten to spill over into global scale catastrophes the white house has said that there is above all one man who is a force for peace. i think that the president is the one that's keeping the world from chaos he. totally destroyed north

korea it will be devastating i can tell you that. it is stating. moochers we are standing. as an incredible team around him helping them leave that effort it has never moved to us to care about what other countries say north korea will be destroyed and we all know that many of. these tremendous accomplishments on the international stage the 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'm a problem solver. the majority of those statements you just heard concerned north korea most recently on saturday donald trump claimed on twitter that previous american presidents have not achieved anything by trying to

negotiate with pyongyang he added that only one thing will work when it comes to resolving the standoff apparently referring to a military solution reportedly a u.s. warship is heading towards the korean peninsula at the moment it is thought that more drills will be held with seoul pyongyang for its part has again lashed out at america describing its actions as gangster like moves for domination and aggression and political analyst we spoke to says washington still lacks any clear policy towards north korea. we do not see a credible strategy on the part of that on those from administration it is not prepared to negotiate to offload 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 north korea to give up its nuclear weapons program . almost a year on from donald trump's victory in the two thousand and sixteen u.s. election and russia is still making headlines over its alleged interference with a little by way of evidence provided wiki leaks editor. has tweeted a mock guide to western journalism or he's my girlfriend says santiago has his own personal unique take. here is all the 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 the structure of. this is raining. 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. media analyst and lionel thinks of that meddling claims are so frequently made against russia that most people now automatically just accept them as facts. when ever you say the russians. weighed in on something the russians have bought ads the russians did something bad bad inclusion of the word russians you create this nefarious connection russo phobic red scare kremlin

baiting suggestion and it has been done with such frequency and such value that people americans and inuit people in particular and themselves have how big a way to do this they've condition where they don't even ask any questions they don't know me and they have to like they just listen to this the russians did it again i did what i don't know so julian or sancia is absolutely. correct. the russian military says its latest round of air strikes in syria has killed a number of ice on field commanders some originating from the north caucasus region of southern russia. as commentary one hundred twenty five 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 hooting to many reports foreign as outnumber the 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 that as sort of where we are now was the largest city still held by isis in syria now it is perhaps the hottest battleground in syria was through this fighting lasting throughout the night and continuing now but the syrians are allegedly in possession of over the heart of the city more than fifty percent the northern and my. it's the inside isis is rushing reinforcements to dean of the city the daughter expected 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 its symbolic fall. saturday marks sixteen years since the u.s. invasion of afghanistan two thousand and one event president george w. bush accused the afghan government of sheltering al qaeda leaders who masterminded the nine eleven attacks that's all the beginning of the so-called war on terror now america's longest running conflict. now you head of the anniversary hundreds of people protested in the afghan capital kabul against the continued presence of u.s. troops in the country demonstrators carried anti-u.s. and anti nato signs denouncing what they see as america's occupation of afghanistan comes as new figures released by the united nations reveal an increase in casualties in the country 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 religion and i was in jail. tonight on the explosion happened i was near to my uncle and cousins american soldiers opened fire in 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 and fears of even greater civilian casualties are emerging as the u.s. military has decided to relax its rules of engagement in afghanistan artie's american as. the president 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 are being under rules to gauge meant and operate. need principles included a requirement for proximity of the enemy to be engaged by our air forces so i've removed proximity and med 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 fronts of measures against the taliban previously having only defensive

permissions general mattis also announced that the u.s. now finds a place in military advisors in almost every afghan unit we have got to reorganize or our advisors because those units with nato and american advisors when 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 to 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 and 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 had 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 terribly 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. eleven people were injured after a car mounted to the pavement and plowed into pedestrians in central london on

saturday the incident happened near the natural history museum one of the u.k.'s biggest tourist attractions now london's metropolitan police say that it was a traffic accident and not terror related the driver has been detained and is now in custody terrorism expert and consultant david lowed joined us to discuss the situation he says that despite saturday's crash being a false alarm of sorts of the u.k. should be prepared to remain at a heightened security level for the foreseeable future. the u.k. has been on severe which is the next highest level been there for three years. and i suppose really it's a sad state of affairs but we're having to get used to this you know it's sort of been prepared for talks obviously today's you know like a motor vehicle accident but it makes sense if you like to start a high level and to treat it like a terrorist incident does make sense to do that it's easier to scale it down rather

than having to scale. investigation of puts i think this this is chris is quite important i think also looking at security of crowded places i mean for example with say the manchester it's dark you know how far do you help us security code because don't forget. the bomber came from outside in towards the entrance towards the end of the cones as a whole fogey. opposition activists held marches across russia on saturday they were called by kremlin critic and a blogger like you know danny. joined you know neil in the studio earlier with details. around eight hundred cities across the country scheduled to be holding these rallies most of them according to a birthday gift to the russian president has to be a person celebrate his sixty fifth birthday and perhaps in a plot to spoil the day opposition figure alexina valley had called for these nationwide protests so here in moscow resorts one out of around seven hundred people and a small number of people were detained that's now over those people have been

released now what i should point out is that not all of these rallies have been authorized by the will thorazine authorization is something you need when you bring together a large number of people for safety concerns traffic regulations and things like this so while police have been present at these rallies they've launched they've been there to ensure that everything remains peaceful so yes so far no violence involved in the one of the biggest turn outs was up north there was an instant petersburg that's one of the biggest turnouts was in five pages but up to a thousand pay. will reporters who have been at that rally now police say dozens have been detained for violating traffic regulations for us after we saw some confrontations protesters attempted to block police access also police and were forced to issue warnings after a number of protesters use force to break a police blockade now what's interesting about this rally isn't petersburg is that the is that electing a volley actually told his followers on social media that this was an authorized

event however city was doris's say that they did not grant permission for this to take place so maybe some people have turned up to this this rally thinking it's legal when perhaps it's illegal. so in paul's cathedral in london has sparked an all out battle of the spires for failing to target other places of worship in a twitter post don't worry though it's all part of the world architecture.

all right that does it for me i'll be back with headlines in about thirty six minutes watching art international stay with. senators financial survival guide i don't buy any i've caught on a futures. i'm on the flight. as the last of my ex from the future crack up watch kaiser.

in the us a child can choose an army course in school. with a tell it all fizzes as teachers we don't. recruit we'll sisters if the cadet is interested in going in the military but we don't recruit ourselves. the pentagon is funding a program to boost interest in the military among teenagers a chance to step up to an apollo so there are also reports. you can. still. do but some willing to children a little more they ask me call of duty is a very popular video. it's playing. call of duty. call of duty. or. to be told. just need more recruits. economic development

is all about really pleased to report this quarter we are one hundred six point. but what do we know about the other figures. when i think about the fact that our c.e.o. mike du made over a twenty million dollars last year more than one thousand times the average wal-mart is says he and with all due respect i have to say i don't think that's right. just how a free market works. people went from pretty simple financial lives pre nine hundred eighty to the point now where people are. just totally submerged in their financial accounts and they're all in debt and what exactly devoid society. the part of the government try to do. might be making things worse.

by saying this is not how capitalism works this is. hopelessly disastrously wrong. and you know it gives you know you know when you go into there's room for those are the you know mr wells that is going. to go into another bizarre through the term that the that. or if you're really just to believe also or is close to glad i. got burned at the number that the u.s. in the u.k. the one that. got up out of the one down. in the state. you know to return room for the truth.

i mean. you become worthless. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. you're after caught up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry but only i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one quite

different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. thank you to the game this is how it works now that the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington washington controls the media the media control over the voters elected the businessman to run this country business equals power boom bust it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. or.
