a big game. you're watching r.t. international live from moscow as you do with me in a day or two to welcome to the program syrian government troops have liberated the eastern city of my team from islamic states that's according to the russian defense ministry the karen has the details. my deen is one of the last remaining eisold strongholds so the liberation of the city is likely to come as a major blow to this terrorist group fighting a military source the sun the news agency has reported to soldiers a noun driving the remaining jarvis out of the city for what is underway on relieving land mines and booby traps left behind by the militants fighting lies in the province situated just south of the provincial capital and this area has

witnessed some of the fiercest fighting between islamic state and syrian forces as government its battle to push the islamists out syrian army troops successfully reached the outskirts of al my early this month effectively trapping isis in the city and of course russian forces have been actively supporting the. syrian troops two with a russian naval task force launching cruise missile strikes on terrorist positions in al my again while dozens of militants have been killed in a series of russian air strikes across the province in recent weeks and all this comes just one day off the russian general staff announced that islamic state now controls less than eight percent of syria due to major successes of the syrian troops but going to. less than eight percent of syrian territory remains under control the rear the russian or simply will continue its operations against. terrorists with the principle that are completely eliminated the liberation of day

means that islamic states presence in syria has shrunk further leaving the group wounded and most crucially more vulnerable perhaps the perfect time for government troops to intensify its anti eisel campaign you know neal middle east analyst ahmad walker of how long he believes it will take to liberate the remaining eight percent of syrian territory which is held by an eyesore. it will take some time but major city after a major city is forming and this is very significant of the had been divided as a city between those assyrians who did not want to. not accept basically to go under control. so the lines in the trenches and everything are very much steve doesn't have apparently this divide within the city the syrian army having crossed the euphrates

a little bit south of daters or is now heading north back on the other side of the euphrates the eastern bank. and is in circling those forces from behind so this would also hope for the speed of the clearing of the resort itself but would it would also take some time just on another aspect to get your thoughts in the city of herat north of who are looking all of them are in in eastern syria that's where the u.s. backed anti ice law peroration is ongoing that russian military has said that the coalition is using the wrong target ticks as they're trying to destroy the city's water supplies which could of course impact greatly on civilians your thoughts on the spec well yes i mean we're hearing a lot of reports. in the bombing of the american since this operation started four months ago. hasn't been very accurate the united states policy has backfired and

they are forcing somehow to even if they don't do not necessarily wish so to hide behind civilians you know they haven't been very clever about this. their historic nuclear agreement with iran is in jeopardy after president trump announced that he won't certify terrans compliance with the court his decision comes despite the global global nuclear watchdog as well as u.s. and european officials saying iran is keeping its side of the deal. we will not continue down a path whose predictable conclusion is more violence more terror and the very real threat of iran's nuclear breakout importantly a red is not living up to the spirit of the deal the move means the u.s. congress now has sixty days to decide whether to reimpose the sanctions on iran that were lifted as part of the deal that would likely see the agreement collapse

some lawmakers were also trying to bend and make tougher existing legislation on iran if those negotiations fell through the problems as the deal will be terminated here's why the american president may want to pull out of it. four reasons why trump needs to pick a fight with iran. after all his policy flip flops he needs to stand firm on something iran will do just to save face threat posed by iran whose chief exports are violence bloodshed and chaos all nations of its most work together to isolate. washington's also getting worried by iran's growing influence in the region iran has been allowed to run wild throughout the middle east for the last eight years. but let's not forget money iran the evil enemy helps is so a lot more weapons than the compliant partner in this investigation to the united

states and our military. community is very happy with the thank you. and the cherry on top rushing iran means pleasing it close friend israel common do injure. others will first from iran for decades iran has fueled the fire is threatening the region and causing so much of by alliance with its soldiers. i want you to know how much we appreciate. an american policy on iran which you enunciated so clearly it's very hard to say what his what his goal is his is he trying to go to iran into taking some actually really the pressure on trouble is coming from is his biggest sponsor is financial sponsors and fundraisers and they are absolutely all virtually ready for

a war with iran iranian president responded to claims by saying the us leader is not in a position to dictate the future of the agreement. this is an international multilateral deal that has been ready fight by the un security council it is a un document is it possible for a president to unilaterally decide to fight this important international deal apparently he's not in the know it is not a document between iran and the us so he can't treat it the way he likes. it took nine years of tough negotiations before the deal was finally reached in twenty fifteen although the standoff over iran's nuclear activities trashed back more than a decade and was widely regarded as one of the world's most urgent crises and it wasn't only the us that painstakingly negotiating the terms it was the combined efforts of russia china britain france and germany to the u.s. secretary of state has been trying to rally european allies over trans decision but

so far they've mostly reacted angrily. are all over it in europe maybe in the region are going to be very supportive of the president of the united states as many posts not this one it is not a bilateral agreement it does not belong to any single country and it is not up to any single country to terminate it we cannot afford as international community as europe for sure to dismantle the nuclear agreement that is working and delivering especially now this is a difficult and in our view dangerous signal that the agreement with iran has shown for the first time that it's possible to prevent war through negotiations that the destruction of this agreement would mean that others around the world would no longer rely on such treaties it's therefore a danger that goes far beyond iran that we in europe germany france the u.k. and the e.u. we stand by this agreement with iran and we want to preserve the agreement i think

it will will further it strange our relations with our european allies it will draw them closer together and i think actually closer to the russians and the charge is just things stand out the iranians have the support of the russians the chinese and all. our european allies it's washington the. ukrainian far right radicals have been marking seventy five years since the creation of the ukrainian army in the country's capital yeah. the nationalist guerrilla force was founded in one thousand nine hundred forty two during the second world war it's full of primarily against the soviet union in poland at times collaborating with nazi germany in one hundred forty three the insurgent ukrainian forces adopted a policy of massacring and expelling the polish population from ukraine which poland later declared is genocide it's also believed the army was responsible for the killing of ukrainian jews. moscow is concerned the u.s.

is pushing the well towards another all mr ayscough story is just a few minutes away. a world without borders no longer seems desirable even europe scales back its welcoming migration policies is there

a way of addressing the global migration challenge without being swept under the. welcome back to the program russia's defense ministry has expressed concern over america's deployment of antiballistic missile systems around the globe saying is pushing the world towards a new arms race according to data compiled by moscow the us has sixty such systems in europe and around one hundred fifty in the asia pacific region the total number is expected to grow to a thousand within the next five years. another source of easing this for the

kremlin is the development of the so-called problem global strike system the u.s. hopes that the project will give the ability to strike targets anywhere in the world using conventional weapons within just one hour jacqueline explains more. if you didn't think the world was scary enough this might just push you over the edge the russian defense ministry says that washington is one step closer to developing a prompt global strike system the pentagon is no move to step closer to the development of approach global strike system such systems are designed to achieve the same results as nuclear weapons so let's break down the jargon problem global strike or p.j.s is a system that can carry out a persistent guided conventional air strike anywhere in the world within an hour conventional air strike implies dropping projectile such as barrels or steel pipes from high altitudes and high speeds and anything release from the height of over one hundred kilometers instantly turns into a deadly bomb thanks to the gained momentum and explosion equal the power of a nuclear one except no fallout they even coined

a term for kinetic bombardment and here's the kicker kinetic bombardment is not prohibited by either the outer space treaty or the anti-ballistic missile treaty if that's not worrying enough wait till you see the report penned by a congress think tank earlier this year it's packed with possible drawbacks to the system saying that it could in fact prove destabilizing in a crisis for a number of reasons for example the report mentions the possibility of the us as adversaries taking the p.d.s. launch for a nuclear strike which could trigger a nuclear response and of course once one world power obtains a prompt will strike system everyone will be racing to be the second pushing the world into a new arms race there are concerns by countries that. prompt global strike would allow another country to do a strike on another country without using nuclear weapons as a way to take advantage of these new technologies and that's why that you're seeing this arms race either we need a new agreement between countries or we need to figure out

a way to ban any kind of weaponization of space that would not be good for world security and again is just causing another cold war type arms race. austria's right wing nationalist so once again looking at a place in government ahead of this sunday's vote polls suggest a strong showing for the anti immigration freedom party. party is currently in second place as you can see from the latest projections out in front is the center right people's party its leader and current foreign minister sebastian coe it says if he becomes chancellor he will end power sharing with the social democrats it's likely he will then seek to form a coalition with another party perhaps with the freedom party with a strong anti immigration stance the latest predictions in austria only adding to concerns over the rise of right wing populism in europe in france the storm jimmy

gratian hardliner and the pan was leading contender in this year's presidential election that last month germany saw a right wing nationalist party enter parliament for the first time in nearly sixty years and now might also be about to see a dramatic shift to the right. get something for deficiencies the deputy district. attorney. but. there is a history of frustration with the established political party during the global

recession and twenty nine. and hard on top of the stream of margaret's and twenty three. enormously increased popular discontent. following events in austria for us is pulis lier. there's a lot of intrigue over whether or not the right wing freedom party will do as well as its sisters elsewhere in europe in france and in germany form of fringe parties making it big on the political scene the us skeptic anti immigrant freedom party is seriously complicates things for the leading center right people's party the v p o v p started to harsh in its agenda to attract voters i'm here to pro freedom party rally the last one before sunday's parliamentary election in which the party is expected to come second many here accuse one of its main rivals of stealing some of its proposals and if nobody is coming into the country without registration without a passport no one should be allowed to enter austria that's why i list we will do

everything possible to stop illegal immigration i am asking that social benefits for non austrians be significantly reduced i will do everything we can to end the abuse of our social welfare system by immigrant the people's party has always been the pro european party quite conservative and now they're copied to the nationalist program after freedom party they're now not trying to be like the blue party they're trying to be against foreign. multicultural things that's copy paste party because a freedom party was successful and so far it's working well for the people's party with its new young leader sebastian kurtz at the helm presenting himself as a bold reformist and not shying away from bowing the policies of the controversial freedom party it's slated to win sunday's parliamentary election some expose suggests curt's might even approach the freedom party to form a coalition government not least of all because of its fallout with its previous

partner the social democrats i don't think that a big coalition the collision between conservatives and social democrats will come again because no. one wants i think there will be a change people want change people won't change the european political landscape is shifting with parties that were on the fringes wielding ever more influence policy r t v and. thousands of firefighters in the u.s. state of california trying to bring an outbreak of deadly wildfires under control. has left at least thirty eight people dead and six thousand houses and buildings destroyed who say they though that they are now making some progress. smell was so strong. the winds were just incredible to see sheets of embers coming toward you and we had before so you said are important papers on. the wedding album

welcome to on contact today we discuss the nature of policing in the united states with the. sociologist alex batali policing is about a war footing that the public or large segments of it are the enemy to be controlled and that the way you manage social problems is through more firepower. with chris hedges the so-called professionalisation of the police the standard response to police brutality has always resulted in more resources militarized weapons and money given to the police it has been a company at the same time by less police accountability and greater police autonomy to strip citizens of their rights as well as the expansion of the use of lethal force our national conversation on race and crime is based on a fiction it is the fiction that the organs of internal security especially the judiciary in the police can be adjusted modernized or professionalized to make possible

a post racial america we discuss issues of race while ignoring the economic bureaucratic and political systems of exploitation all of it legal and built into the ruling apparatus that are the true engines of exploitation racism and white supremacy no discussion of race is possible without a discussion of capitalism and class and until that discussion takes place despite all the proposed reforms to the criminal justice system the state will continue to murder and imprison poor people of color with impunity r t correspondent on your power and tell looks at the expansion of police powers. gone are the days of water hose the tongs and police dogs though those images were startling enough today police forces around the country look like full fledged armies the riot cop has evolved quite

a bit over the last years with billy clubs now replaced with shotguns and that's no accident police departments around the country. are equipped with military equipment thanks to the federal government the white house says over five billion dollars worth of military equipment has been transferred to state local and tribal police forces nationwide including m. sixteen thousand and fourteen bayonets night vision goggles armored trucks and mine resistant vehicles this is all thanks to the ten thirty three program established by the national defense authorization act of one nine hundred ninety seven it allows for the federal government to shift weapons of war to domestic police departments this gear is not only used to suppress public demonstrations it can also show up in your private home through swat raids according to the a.c.l.u. seven percent of such raids are usually to result hostage crises while seventy nine
