john oliver of r.t. america is this. we are apparently better than. see people you've never heard of. jack to the next president of the world bank very. seriously send us an e-mail. in the headlines this morning austrian voters turned sharp right turn this set to look the world's youngest leader while an anti immigration party make significant gains to. the u.s. increases next year is africa aid budget two of the five billion dollars a somalia reels from its worst ever terrorist attack. and the folks who don't fall catalonia was just a couple of hours now to go until madrid deadline for leaders there to state whether they're really declaring independence or not.

start a run you weaker of moscow good morning from me kevin now in just nine am here now you're watching our international greater company first than today austrian voters have made a clear shift to the right it seems they're on course to put the world's youngest leader in office people party leader sebastian kurtz is poised to become chancellor after his center right group secured thirty one percent of the vote while the right wing anti immigrant freedom party is in line to come second with over twenty seven percent by the looks of it its leader heinz christian struck seeing as jubilant as the winner was the first results were announced both parties stand for tightening austria's borders and toughening up on immigration and both leaders gave similar promises to deal with it. today is our chance to take over the reins in this country and make sure there's a real change in our streets. when someone says the can be more of the same i'm saying no we insist on a much needed and lasting change. so a new day

a new political dawning coming up live to vienna our correspondent paula slews there hi paula any indication as yet which party sebastian coats might want to team up with in parliament. look at him as you can well imagine this is the discussion here the morning off to these very important he makes and that is who will form the next coalition government sebastian kurtz he is likely to become an it's trying to stay on as leader of the people's party has given no indication he will in fact in this coalition what he has said that he will talk with everyone all options are open now there are various scenarios of course being played out on the one hand you could have a coalition between the people's party and the social democrats this does seem highly unlikely because this has been dubbed the do it his campaign in all spheres history and this is largely because these two large parties have labeled charges of espionage and racial incitement against each other the supposed needs then the

freedom party to form a coalition with sébastien but what it would mean is that you would have a white leaning government how this would be a huge blow to the european union it would also be a strong vote against in the book politics but it certainly would be cost and also all the same we see happening across europe where more and more voters are vote buying. i. think all of the arts this is a time. now many european leaders have of course a way to congratulate coats he will become europe's youngest and leader and i think talking to people here on the street there is a state that these election results. we're predicting basically matched the polls

but i am picking up a lot of concern about the train to the right. all of her face the uptake because of later young got to get into office there isn't it all right now we talked to the president of the australian street for european policy and security in vienna who believes that sebastian kunz is tough stance on immigration indeed the one in the election he was responsible already for closing as we call it the western balkans the route that led from turkey. up to germany and to scandinavia he was the one who are going to just that this route for illegal migrants became closed and since then also the number of migrants decreased very much and in so far he will not only be able but he proved already that he will be able to do something because this also was more or less the color stone of a politics that was overtaken also by european union and even by angela

america even if she did not like this very much at the beginning. the toll from somalia's worst ever terror attack is still being counted this morning it's now known that more than two hundred seventy have died and hundreds more injured in twin blasts in the capital on saturday where you can see workers are still pulling bodies from the ruins and they say the true number of casualties will never be know because of the intense heat that was generated by the initial blast.

and it's not just eastern africa suffering from the threat of extremists of course it's a problem occurring continent wide and because of that president has been increasing the u.s. presence there at great expense to american taxpayers to go francis and the reports on that side of. you remember trump's america first tagline right well the u.s. tax dollars are currently being spent on a military intervention in africa one thousand five hundred troops are now stationed in the region so what are they fighting in africa terrorists ok and how's that going well apparently not all that well at least not in niger the growing foreign military footprint in the country appears to have set a local backlash against both the government and western countries and it gets worse for u.s. soldiers were killed as they tried to advance deeper into the african islamist

territory niger by the way happens to be the country housing the largest contingent of u.s. troops in africa there were just a hundred of them. twenty thirteen under obama administration but now but america first it's eight hundred u.s. troops so a pretty broad mission with the government of new year in order to increase their capability to stand alone and to prosecute lone extremists in the region and according to a white house document as of june this year there are now three hundred u.s. troops in cameroon that's an additional whole fifteen more troops since december twenty sixth team now that's a serious increase that no doubt requires a serious budget right no way you may say but oh yes just this wednesday the acting assistant secretary for african affairs asked for five point two billion tax dollars as it's the required budget for african assistance in twenty eighteen ok but why so much money because of the size of africa because the time and space and

the distances when it comes especially crisis response type activities we need access in various places on the continent five point two billion dollars that's a lot of money for putting america first. the tsunami is clearing the remaining pockets of terrorists and there is all provinces having now repelled most of all from the city of may have the and it had become the terror groups defect capital largely deserted its form a bastion and rocket fire a big chunk of money to get rare access to see what life is like now in many residents have fled before i saw was funny driven out describing how they risked their lives and everything they had escaping often losing everything to the extremists they'd seize their homes and belongings as well as imposed a brutal rule in eastern syria. plug i did alimony i was jailed for six days for smoking a cigarette arrest would be made if they even smell tobacco they also had

a so-called morality police known as the his would if i shaved for that. good he was arrested twice because of the length of my beard they would torture me and feed me rotten. on another occasion i was jailed for wearing trousers instead of a jalapeno then call me. similar stories i've heard across syria in fact and has seen residents themselves start to fight back in places in the city of women that took up arms r t followed their battalions efforts.

that i don't. have by many. years. when i've been to the model been in. the meantime iraqi government forces have reportedly launched an operation against the kurdish city of cook in the north the prime minister said his forces would a quote impose security there at midnight on sunday the army began moving in the oil fields on a base held by kurdish peshmerga forces the governor of called all residents to

come out and defend the tensions of spike this for the record this time the washington post for those terms and says it supports a unified iraq. sort of historic in spain just two was no big lesson for the spanish region of catalonia to officially state whether or not it's declaring independence the deadline was set by the government of madrid after the controversial referendum two weeks ago show voters wanted secession a catholic president now that is facing intense pressure from both sides. in sea steer. we have decided to insist and insist again on the need for mr project want to determine in an affirmative clear and comprehensible way that the republic must be proclaimed and it must be proclaimed on monday. rallies are still being stays in the region this one you're seeing here in the capital city of jerome we can saw hundreds there pushing for local leaders to make good on their promise to declare independence. has not gone down well in central europe the european commission

president earlier warned that if catalonia does break away it would set a troubling president the us catalonia becomes independent others will do the same and i wouldn't like that i wouldn't like to see some ninety eight states in the european union it's difficult. but british european parliament member nathan gill says the e.u. only supports whatever is in its own interests. i think it's been very disappointing the reaction from the e.u. especially. and what we've really seen here is the reality of these projects. if it pleases them they will accept independence you know we saw in two thousand and eight when kosovo declared unilateral independence. said that this was an illegal move but the e.u. wanted it to happen politically so they got behind it and the question about it here they've said oh it's going to be too hard for us to control it and you with

ninety eight hundred different governments you know that we have to work with the council of ministers and the council but quite frankly that is not a good enough reason when ultimately do you believe in the determination of people and the rights of people to decide their own determination for their own future. washington insists it's not giving up on diplomacy is the brinkmanship over north korea continues secretary of state rex tillerson told c.n.n. that he'll continue negotiations until quote the first ball. is made it clear to me to continue my diplomatic efforts which we are and we will can told others also diplomatic efforts will continue until the first bomb drops. so listen his comment comes then amid rumors that his relationship with the president's taken a hit earlier this month trump tweeted that his chief envoy was wasting his time trying to negotiate with north korea tell us it insists trump supports his

diplomatic maneuvers though and is not pushing for war although the president has been repeatedly making it clear that a military option is on the table we are totally prepared for the second option totally destroying north korea that's called the military option fire fury military action like the world has never see devastating. deficit devastating never see the rocket man. is on a suicide mission for himself rocket rockets all over the place suicide mission for himself he has been very red should have been handled a long time ago that's called the military option by fury it will be handled we handle everything thank you very much trumps tough talk is resonating with this republican party it seems a recent poll said forty six percent of members support a preemptive strike on north korea or forty one percent are against it it's for

more career is planning another missile test maybe later this week in response to joint drills being conducted between the u.s. and south korea and in today's edition of soften code just a tip you off here on r t we hear expert opinion as to why a fresh approach might be needed now over north korea. now more than ever we have a big race for the start of a new arms race again i think we have reached a sanction since the problem started in the in the korean peninsula and despite incremental sanction north korea has gone from one test and talk about nuclear test to see years to to test a year in two thousand and sixteen and then one the huge one that has gone beyond anything thinkable that they were able to do and it's what does it tells i mean if you take a layman on the street is telling your look the sanctions seem to not be working from a layman's perspective so if we incrementally pushing sanction and that sanctions

seem to go incrementally with what north korea is doing i think we have to probably find a way in what often it's call in diplomacy quest of diplomacy where we have. a way to put pressure but at the same time keep the door open for discussion and so that we move towards a solution that is sustainable and this is what we're hoping for beyond the words. zounds international more news after the break.

would more make this manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the famous merry go round. the one percent. going all middle of the room to.

the classic novel to kill a mockingbird removed from one school reading list in the u.s. state of mississippi authorities there say our police book contains language which makes people uncomfortable there were complaints about it there is some language in the book that makes people uncomfortable and we can teach the same lesson with other books the novels about racial injustice it's revolves around a lawyer defending a black man accused of raping a white woman that was awarded a pulitzer prize and its film version won three academy awards. it's hard to miss that you can't really talk about american literature without talking about harper lee. to kill a mockingbird loose so large in sort of american psyche i think. this is hard to ignore odd to me her legacy should be want to. write a tolerance and to kill a mocking yes especially

a man. not turmoil but the tension that is so. prevalent in our world the black lights matter matter what's happening in ferguson and what's happening in flint right now reading it as an adult in that context was really fascinating to me and i took so much more from it the book spin removed from other school programs to last year in virginia it was pulled along with mark twain's book the adventures of huckleberry finn of the complaints about the use of the in would legal commentator horace cooper thinks that such steps show the rewriting of american history that. we are open to allowing the ideas that authors contribute being given the opportunity to be exposed to young people or to any kind of an academic that is dangerous for society our young people are the most in need of understanding the benefit of hearing from varying ideas

that they may not know about and that they need to be exposed to we shouldn't be so willing to just kick to the curb the authors of their writings because of some things about them that remind us of the past that we're not happy about this is a bad idea there isn't much difference between pulling statues down our burning books or just essentially rewriting history. well it's not just books that have fallen victim to political correctness in the us oregon is dropping the name lynch from a district elementary school of racial connotations in texas a black woman demanded the removal of a cotton decoration because slaves were used to gather it on the north carolina a university lecturer wanted to dock students grades for using sexist language such as the word mankind. first of all of youth

students is the way in russia's black sea resort of sochi i can tell you the week long cultural events are expected to attract over twenty thousand visitors from around the world here are some of the opening ceremonies. well come to the nineteenth world first of all i love you and students in sochi. games from jordan the middle east yeah from sri lanka yeah from argentina a lot of countries as you more than one hundred fifty countries a lot of cultures a lot of people excited to meet a few people youngsters a great opportunity to come and meet as one to get to door you all around the world there's like a sense that the possibility of brighter world

a world with more social justice is impossible and here we can see that it isn't we can meet people from every country that can prove their experiences what they are doing in their countries and that's what we came to do and it's really great. we brought you the story of a man who took part of the one hundred fifty seven world youth festival he's now returned to russia to relive the memories of his super trying to talk more to him and other participants in this year's event to hear their impressions. hi i'm cost us i'm from greece i'm twenty five yes all so we're going to meet george at his workplace what do you expect sixty years ago it was directly from the war come and . help a lot of us and george bush i am glad to see. how old were you when the festival happened when for what he was saying that cost us this place ok we're brothers yes there's

a difference of only sixty eight but what cost us would you like to get into a time machine and see what that was like of course because first of all i believe it was the first thing the meeting and some of the union at all people did not come in from the west because they were very wary and scared and the people from this side they didn't have the money and in the end the credentials to travel abroad the eyes of the soul within russian people in moscow at that time were opened wide that this is the first time they had actually seen foreigners and that the same on the part of the young participants through their eyes wide open they they had exit suspected to see bears and all kinds of guns and things here in this country and it was nothing the people's generosity the courtesy of the warmth nice of the people was something absolutely unexpected all of the participants boarded buses and trucks and after that that main thoroughfare was called. prospect meta which

means of a new avenue of peace and all along the route all the streets were lined i think we can see some pictures of that do you recognize this place george of course i wasn't trying to what they really and we're not going to do anything young people it seems like almost all the most cool going street and actually i don't know if anyone ever estimated the number of must win two came out of three but i think what do you get into the into millions what did they do with the security police at that time. all the people to stand on the sidewalks but that failed how did was communicate because they didn't know the language did they didn't have to know the language of course there are interpreters but. when there is friendship in your eyes and your heart your we don't need an entrepreneur courses do you recognize this building i actually do i don't i don't call this the tchaikovsky concert hall so if it says

festival here that means probably some of the events happened inside you that play then play why it was whited song and dance and sample groups and they must have played music right oh yeah music with music filled the streets all of moscow all along the route i don't. know at least each. other and. how many trucks were there george i'll tell you one thing try to figure it out yourself how many buses and trucks were required to carry to transport thirty four thousand youngsters young people from the age of moscow into the center to the stadium as he is trailing here like saudi arabia and a very good night classes do you think you can ask george for any advice. in their festival if you're going to be lucky. you're going to be in my shoes sixty years

hence ok great there's only thing one thing i am sorry about that i'm not twenty five years old again share your experiences with other peoples sheria share of what you good. don't fight each other. we had enough of that idea and. nine unforgettable. days. in. the d. i do you. know what the. thoughts would leave you with we love george voice of this child he's a real hero to everyone who works. from. keep up to speed with all our. social media platforms of course. of the next few hours thanks for watching.

so it. was if you have to get multiple injuries among.

them to yourself you know what shows your your mars on the. ball if you can please people from the sea so you. but a loss of. my. life a lot will. lead to what. my. maybe maybe maybe that's. what we want is to put an end to nuclear testing and then to move towards a world free of nuclear weapons and to do that we have to bring countries who seek

or who are of this ambition to understand that their national security doesn't depend on the possession of nuclear weapons. they were going underground when you have to the day that the iraqi army launched the attack to retake mosul when one year on residents attempt to rebuild their lives amidst the rubble of nato wars that killed wounded or displaced millions across the region coming up on the show. flight last school buddies to socialism and them a government over britain's response to what could be a looming u.k. usa aerospace trade war and with a camera in one hand and a k forty seven in the other we speak to iraqi filmmaker.

about his new film the journey and being kidnapped and beaten by al qaeda and us schools is coming up in today's going underground but first today. the governor of the bank of england mark carney gives evidence to britain's parliament or two jobs is just handed out first there is sylvana ten re row who will be able to vote on whether u.k. homeowners have to pay more for their mortgages this autumn and if you thought to work as we know in britain leaving the european union you could arguably be wrong here she is talking about the risks and rewards not of bricks it but even close the union of the twenty eight member e.u. when it comes to neo liberal financial institutions. more investment which is one of the objectives of the capital markets union but as a neighbor to the poor thinking through the cup at the market we have to consider. what we need tools. to put in place in the event of a crisis yes that new n.b.c.

member is a remain a probably who until recently was analyzing prospects for more u.k. integration in the e.u. not less as for the deputy governor that mark carney will today be announcing a britain's treasury select committee his name is david ramsden he is what he said when asked whether he had been preparing economic forecasts for brics it's on the tenth anniversary of his advice to the labor government not to join the euro this is the first time i've spoken in public about the euro ten years or. so i think i'll probably. take that lloyd of defense so maybe i'll have to wait ten years before he tells you about bank of england preparations for brics it what we do know is that errors in british official statistics mean a leaky bank of england is preparing britain for higher interest rates in a fortnight what will that do given british unsecured household debt now stands at two hundred three billion pounds on credit cards cough finance overdraft and other

loans is anyone's guess one of the devolved to resume the i.m.f. which usually gets its forecasts hopelessly wrong says britain now faces the prospect of another financial crisis well joining me now is conservative peer lord flight the former deputy chair. of the u.k. conservative party how credible is trey's amaze prime minister obviously her credibility has been severely damaged but i think that there's a sort of you all members of the party that leave her alone to get on with bricks it and we'll look at whatever changes we might make closer to the next general election where you favor a w.t. you rules based into the one i want on saying is that i i think the the e.u. is simply trying to get as much money out of us as they can for some form of free trade deal which they benefit from more than us and. i'm feeling pretty fed up with that and there's no danger for them to do so but basically i think our best

strategy quite soon he's going to be yes a we've had enough give double duty here i think she understands the w.t. you and the apartment she should be beings or she should be being properly advised by a civil servants let's face it a movement of civil servants going on in white school for me every day was to number ten at the moment but you're presumably at least pleased that she said the free market is the greatest agent of collective human progress of a great and about time absolutely right and you look at all the figures and. it's amazing how free trade has got rid of poverty i have absolute dramatic and you can go anyone seriously doubts that statement yes i mean you've got in the states and here politicians arguing to do things which are anti free trade which are protectionist absolutely crackpot and it's pretty simple doctrine why people haven't understood it i don't know but it dissolved job to preach it and i support

dan had and as you know has set up a free trade institute and has actually got a lot of real heavies involved in that mess and i've been involved with it and i went to the the norm. this week but we haven't proven this labor party agrees with that too but says we have to rejig the free trade environment no it has obviously been the great just agent of killing i think he doesn't know what he's talking about and he is he is basically putting forward socialist arguments forty years ago when i was a city and all my contemporaries were here this sort of garbage. i mean it is absolutely off on favre it's a long way to see that what i mean what is absolute garbage in that what race is people out of poverty it is better economic growth now if this country could grow it two and a half three percent per annum we would solve the issue of the younger generation

being landed with too much debt if we go down policies that he's advocating about wilson and heath in the seventy's our growth will disappear and your generation will be loaded with masses of debt you can't afford to repay why do you think he's old favorite to be the next president of the people at all sure because we messed up the last general election campaign and actually it's a wrong reaction to the very point i'm making which is the younger generation of fear feeling there is a disadvantage to the older generation and if they they understood the issues they would see what i just said which is the best way of alleviating that is foster economic growth foster economic growth can be achieved by free market policies if you have socialist policies you grind the whole thing to a halt thing anyone's going to argue against all intrapreneur realisable in the innovation and so on isn't it a response to the twenty eight crash

a kind of contempt for the financial services industry i mean i understand the job for others on this program saying these negotiations of a brick since they've been sold out to goldman sachs their. trying to create a city bricks which helps the game elites in brussels and really well to some extent yes that's correct but i'd make a slightly tangent point which is that what was the real cause of it was actually clinton implementing socialist policies in the us by obliging banks to give mortgages to people who weren't in a position to service those mortgages and then concealing the fact of what he was doing by mixing up the mortgages in a whole bundle of other things guess who did know what she was there but it was the bailout said it i mean you should think the eight in if you had to bail you had you had no choice but to bell bank why not let them go to the wall because you to crash the whole economy if you down that would have that money had been put into infrastructural spending rose and let the city and you'd have crowed absolutely

look if you are allowed banks to fail the whole economy dries up because it depends upon the oil the flow of money so you simply cannot allow the main banks to crash ok but i mean the colony the gov the bank of england is a funny enough. alumina as luminous as it were it is obvious that figures like him and figures in the city are against bricks do you not believe that they are lobbying to water down britain's bricks it. some of them are yes in their own interests i mean the single market is in reality it's a protected market for large the inaugural to go pally. business is the logical to financial service businesses you won't find many small businesses go to top of the single market at all no i think it's a be fair i don't think colony is in the path of goldman sachs but he's thinking

over the career he's thinking he's going to reflect his his history. but we know that these hidden forces in the midst british elites right now that are trying to overturn the will of the british people when they voted for brics which is the question which at the state mandated b.b.c. i mean i think that i mean you know jacob riis mall did most of the city debates on breaks it speaking in favor breaks it and i must have done about twenty debates and i have been a great supporter of breaks it for a long time because i don't think we fit within the you know of the values that want to stay i did say it's a mixture there question a lot of people who were in the remain camp who accepted the referendum and wanted to get on with it is in the house of lords who are a million people and we are standing thomas and in the city even there are some that still hoping to fight a rear guard action and maybe stop us sitting i don't think that they will succeed

and i don't actually think there are enough of them either to be able to succeed but i do think the tory government needs to get its act together and get a move on people are getting fidgety getting the british public fully understanding these debates because the idea lengths of bias against a b.b.c. being a really simple do you want to stay or do you don't want to stay in. the reasons for stay or leave we know what they all the three or four big issues and some people feel strongly i want to sue someone another i happen to feel strongly that you know we spent. a thousand years executed a monarch in favor of having a democratic system and i'm not going to accept being told what to do by second rate people that aren't even democratically accountable thank you very much ok but labour's conference will one of its largest in its history you are a radical old fashioned radical they were talking you know the stuff be they were talking when i was twenty what's your view in p.f.

are you a charity secretary of the treasury around the time the blair and brown were doing this correct and the only you back call being on the all of them completely incompetent play i mean the fact corbett rigor the principle of peer fi is is actually sensible which is you're well sourced building things the private sector and you need to do it on a contract which. is appropriate now the the great mistake that governments made was doing things on a contract that wasn't appropriate and they got screwed as a result so i mean you the people you blame there is brown basically brown and second rate people in the treasury allowed wrong contracts to be executed and what's happened is not telling you that outsourcing is wrong it's telling you that outsourcing spin dumb all over expensive contracts just funny how stable is dres of

may and her uneasy arguably coalition with the do you mean she's. certainly the in the papers it's reported that she wants to go for another term will to raise maybe running the conservative party next year or after breakfast well who knows i mean i think the general perception is let things settle down. let her. get on with leading breaks in negotiations and as we get closer to another election . the position will then need to be considered i think there. actually. this it expect that process. will be. but a necessary to the case but that's what i think most people expect thank you thank you after the break we speak to an iraqi refugee filmmaker who was captured. and u.s. forces risking his life to keep iraq's film industry independent. of going

underground. here's what people have been saying about rejected in. full on. the only show i go out of my way to. really packed a punch. john oliver a party america is doing the same we are apparently better than blue. sea or heard of redacted tonight the president of the world bank. sent us an email. still exist. rico's treated as one. of. the islanders controlled by the us

government and some puerto rican screw even dependents. even. still many do wish to join the us hundreds more leave every day. with the country at a crossroads anger on the island is on the rise. welcome back one year ago today the u.s. backed iraqi army launched their offensive on the northern iraqi city of mosul formerly a stronghold for isis die i should like millions killed wounded or displaced by nature wars in the middle east the so-called liberation of mosul has reportedly left nine out of ten major hospitals destroyed most residential areas have been

demolished and more than forty thousand civilians apparently killed next guest has seen the devastation in mosul firsthand well without their edges new film the journey though humanizes a phrase thrown around in the mainstream media as it looks into the root causes of the reality of suicide bombing it's just been showcased at this year's london be a five film festival moment thanks so much for coming on you know the phrase i know the phrase viewers will know the phrase it's a suicide bomber is of. such a dismissive. why did you choose to make a film to transform our understanding of that phrase you know most of you i didn't choose it in the usual levy story to his meet through to come to this and i was in bag in baghdad in two thousand and eight preparing for my second feature film son about it on and i opened the newspaper and i see this article with a picture of about seventeen years old female how to close being taken off and that

is a policeman and i can put his mentor out to help out to take the vest of the suicide bomber off her hat and the stories about this girl. five minutes before the bomb go off she come to him and she says she's supposed to bomb the police station she come to the police people say and i have only five minutes left help me to get the bomb off from me and thus stories shock me i never thought about a female to be a suicide bomber i never thought about a female to be a bomb you know and then i start to think about it and then i mark and make my research and i find out until two thousand and ten was more than two hundred fifty female suicide bomber i didn't get it i didn't get us muhammad it archey because i'm afraid of thought about a female a woman like my mother my sister being on could be my girlfriend to be to be a suicide bomber you know and then i had bought my first and second draft and to be

honest with you it was against them because i hated them because they destroyed my contrary my nation my people my friend my mom i lost family member because of the suicide bomb and then one day i met this female girl i went to the iraqi. prison for to sympathize being captured by the iraqi army like a police and i met this girl and she was a beautiful astonishing girl twenty years old you know very smart very clever and she was talking with me and talking with me and i looked out and she said he would be you know i felt wait a minute i'm doing a film about a suicide model but i'm not having give them any think so i started to look to the subject in different way and because you know since two thousand and one since september eleventh and here this big titles for war against terrorism organics limas in and then this title is changed now again is. extremism in islam you know

and where we are now two thousand and seventeen and look to. us everywhere in london and bugged out in syria so you. can. tell this. guy. this film humanizes ordinary iraqis in baghdad railway station the children tell me about the children in the film because they look like they could be bogus children in a british station under a sturdy britain we are going through a difficult time but we have a beautiful human being we have we have normal life and we have a normal activity and we have normal joy and we are looking forward to to have a joy in life you know those children and you know i always make a film about women and children because out of the victim of that their victim of

the corporation i did the victim of i say that the victim of the corruption in government and all of liberated by britain and america is how we learn of on the road we don't call it nobody about a copyright or three not the two thousand and three world is a corporation and i was like we don't call it to that but i think that i don't call it but i think i mean it's not about that but i think because the capital is destroyed. understand we. should. i don't i mean. i grew us because we know even. in demonizing trump is a in the u.s. military or something to support. you chose to portray the u.s. military in baghdad as ignorant and clearly out of their depth let alone cruel

way in the way you know the soldiers that they have it on the base in the police conduct of that i make to pay. in the us mohammad or my first feature film in two thousand and four i was at a set by the american put in the prison for seven days accusing that i'm doing propaganda film for al-qaeda the american the american army yeah and then and then that was a guy called michael or that you were with al qaeda the american military thought yeah i mean because i was i was that was my other three crew members of the make up the sound guy and all about using that we are doing. al qaeda propaganda film that wasn't seventeenth of december two thousand four and. they were put on some the bit in the green zone area and i had this guy michael he's the guard in the prison he's checking as you know they took your clothes off and you know he you meet you in a way and that was seventeenth of december and a big put me in the prison you know to be to call your clothes off and then this

guy he's. checking me and then he speak with his colleague and i have a pretty good shoes you know i bought from amsterdam and he said i'm not going to swear but he said these were you know he said look to this mother. he have expensive shoes he stole it from somewhere and i looked him i am naked you know and i said to him i didn't start it i bought for most of them and this soldier he stuff her off harsh but then he become my friend he speak with me english he smuggle for me cigarettes some time you know he smuggle for me to consume and he become human being by the and so in the film you see in this era gandhi not hard for our fathers you know he's a don't touch on any cultural and you know brutalized mortal lives you know and he said he could and then he called his wife and he called his daughter in leasing out a song to sing a song for his daughter and then he told the iraqi of the iraqi baby that the shut

up as a big city in britain we hear that they're isolated cases obviously there was the brutal torture and killing by. british soldiers in basra. they're isolated. using this film does give us a sense that actually the general treatment of ordinary iraqis by these big americans with their military equipment the iraqi people didn't really appreciate it very much i mean look the iraqi people we had we were living under a dictatorship for thirty five years and then the dictatorship britain supported when britain supported saddam out of course we don't welcome by mean if we go to the store to be supported for ages in years during the iraqi and iranian war they support him in on a lot of way you know they build for him the nuclear weapon they pulled all this chemical weapon from where he brought it not from from saudi arabia or from from syria able to from the west you know the west was supporting him humble to put us on the mend he turned again the story we know when our body you know but we in two

thousand and three when they came to talk some people some iraqi think they could be a good. a good people are good armies to help support but there was no there you know we were war that i've been if you pass the american convoy and the streets of baghdad if you come a close fifty meter one hundred meters you will be shot and i saw people being shot in front of me because they're just about to pass because maybe they need to go to the hospital or anything like that you know so that's the moment in two thousand and three in june july two thousand and three when people turn and they saw the mass occupied to me because they were humble us you know to even respect for the way not shown us any any and that a stand of think because to be honest with you it was not any plan what happened post-war what was going to happen you know and that's the case became also happened and the consequence of this chaos you know then you have direction you have you have all this trouble but here we are facing in iraq because they weren't there

before there's one not there before because and to be honest nobody cared about us honest when you were kidnapped by a list by a car before the americans accused your yeah they accuse you of being pro-marriage . but on america a pleasure it was a film inside the film you know i was kidnapped by al qaeda in two thousand and four and then the safety of god in help of god and i build by the way the moment on the shoulders yeah yeah and then yeah we give. you the baby don't they don't they don't lose time with you a lot in two thousand and four they usually do. anybody they think is disagree with him or i don't think they have a pro-american a problem that i could give them and they take you one two hours and then they shoot you in they throw you on the track going to the vet and that's what happened with us and the time because they were thinking that we are doing a poor iraqi government film and you know and they question arson told by the haifa

street they call it the street was controlled by al qaeda and they were taken acid for a fast sound man and his legs and injured him and they were about to shoot us but we were lucky that the police of the time came there were no way and we literally risked your life for independent cinema of course the brand new field what does it make you feel knowing that hollywood films its know it would work with the cia and the pentagon to make their films whereas you were attacked by every. being a filmmaker. is important i think it's important for me as an arche as mohammad is important to have the voice but to be not influence you know you come from a country it could be easy to be influenced from different directions you know from the iraqi government or from another end of it you know but i try to keep myself as independent because i think like film like the journey is not easy to be make you

know i cannot persuade a big producer or big company in america or here to make a film like that because i don't think they will see the interest that i see the us arse as mohammad the out up to muslim that tried to put it played. i want even though it's universal story of course is the i mean you know there's a thought of bellowing i mean if you met these children you can see them in the only london in new york and in anywhere in this planet you meet the young man in the film and you can relate to him what he going to flatten about guilt and all of that this thing story happened and i my duty that i keep this voice free and worldwide i'm not influence you know and to keep myself in the band is difficult by the way it's not easy like the film take you five years of your life health you know just to make it just to sate but we have it now. many people think you are now giving back to iraq even though you've lived in holland for so many

years what was iraq like in the first few weeks when you visited mosul is now one year since. we're hearing about this. the atrocities on both sides will in terms of the liberation from. this new phenomenon look when i was shooting the journey in baghdad mosul was by the doors of bugged out or circled by fallujah to read you know better clothes you know and it was not easy time and when. like three weeks before the liberation of mosul. i mean my colleague and my friend we were thinking what can we do because you know people talking about people and population most of they are supporting isis maybe they are. part of isis you know and but you know some of them and we know they have normal guys has been occupied by isis for two three years you know so we felt about we make a player and

a convoy called. to celebrate the aid in mosul and we were risking you get that from now isis after your previous good living well good but anyway this is life in this is the. end there and we ended to go in with more than two hundred fifty artists and cultured people from. everywhere in iraq with eleven boss you know big boss you know on a convoy to go to mosul and we go in the first thing we did we visit the university of mosul and we hundred more of the. twenty thousand books to the university we talk about the universities destroyed the rest with the image that you have a good story and you know but the beautiful day will come from the people for most of them and they were what they were really like warm and happy to see asked because for three years no one visited nobody come to them you know and we came

from everywhere and i can come to see them and then we had a big event attended by more than fifteen thousand people have been music and shown film and have a cultural event you know on the time we did a fire walk and one mail from mass course and the brits the american aircraft and the iraqi army. isis you know it was a big event was an important event it was an important message to say. that spot of that was leaving the message that we can do with this oh do you think they'd better and that's it for the show we'll be back on wednesday to talk about the liberal elites in the new book patronized by the daily mail call this the best selling author quentin that feel that people talk about social media the seal with a ninety six years of the day of the creation of the crimea the ultimate socialist soviet republic by the russian federation.

what we want is to put an end to nuclear testing and then to move towards a was free of nuclear weapons and to do that we have to bring countries who seek or who out of this to understand that their national security doesn't depend on the possession of nuclear weapons. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us is it just pull along . the only show i go out of my way to lunch you know is that really packed a punch. is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently

better than the blue. sea or heard of love jack tonight president of the world bank so very. seriously send us an e-mail. austrian votes is sharp right and i said to elect the world's youngest leader while the ninety immigration party also make significant gains. the u.s. increases next year's africa a budget of over five billion dollars as somalia reels from its worst ever terrorist attack. on the president of catalonia asks for face to face talks with the prime minister of spain as the standoff over the spanish region's push for independence is the page.

hello this is r.t. live from moscow ten of the morning here i'm kevin zero in first starting with this austrian voters than have made a clear shift to the right and the wrong course to put the world's youngest leader in office people party leaders sebastian kurtz is poised to become chancellor after his center right group secured thirty one percent of the vote while the right wing anti immigrant freedom party in turn came in second with over twenty seven percent its leader heinz christie instruct it seemed as jubilant as the winner at times as the first results were announced both parties stand for tightening austria's borders and toughening up on immigration and both leaders gave similar promises to deal with. the void today is our chance to take over the reins in this country and make sure there's a real change in austria. when someone says the can be more of the same i'm saying no we insist on a much needed and lasting change so the big question for austria now is what kind

of coalition will be formed to make the next government as paul asli reports sébastien curt's is likely to become in its translation on wall street as leader of the people's party who has given no indication of when in fact this coalition. he has said that he will talk with everyone all options are open now there are various scenarios of course being played out on the one hand you could have a coalition between the people's party and the social democrats this does seem highly unlikely because this has been dubbed the do it his campaign in austria has history and this is largely because these two large parties have been able charges of espionage and racial incitement against each other the supposed needs then the freedom party to form a coalition with sebastian that what it would mean is that you would have a white leaning government how this would be a huge blow to the european union it would also be a strong vote against in the book politics but it certainly would be constant also of the same we see happening of course europe where more and more voters of those.

i believe are the first of all say we've got to be. who i think all of the arts is that are such. that now many european leaders have congratulated on his victory which makes see me getting this kind of state with the results my knowledge with the dictabelt cuts was able to capitalize on a couple of states so which is it seems to be the migration issue ever since two thousand and fifteen when huge numbers of migrants pain still me wait to see that this has me made moving issue for the electorate here you know very much so will be told to the president of the austrian institute for european policy and security in vienna who believes that sebastian kurtz is tough stance on immigration and indeed

the one in the election. he was responsible already for closing as we call it the western balkans the route that led from turkey. up to germany and to scandinavia he was the one who organized that this route for illegal migrants became closed and since then also the number of migrants decreased very much and the ends of. he will not only be able but he proved already that he will be able to do something because this also was more or less the color stone of a politics that was overtaken also by european union and even by angela america even if she did not like this very much at the beginning. toll from somalia's worst ever terror attacks still being counted the smalling it's now known that more than two hundred seventy at least have died and hundreds more

have been injured in twin blasts in the capital on saturday emergency workers are still pulling bodies from the ruins and they say the true number of casualties may never be known because of the intense heat generated by the initial truck blast. well broadly it's not just eastern africa suffering from the threat from extremists it's a problem occurring continent wide now because of that president has been increasing

the u.s. presence there a great expense to american taxpayers there's more on that side of it the girlfriend says sunday aagot. you remember trump's america first tagline right well the u.s. tax dollars are currently being spent on a military intervention in africa one thousand five hundred troops are now stationed in the region so what are they fighting in africa terrorists ok and how's that going well apparently not all that well at least not in niger the growing foreign military footprint in the country appears to have set a local backlash against both the government and western countries and it gets worse for u.s. soldiers were killed as they tried to advance deeper into the african islamist territory niger by the way happens to be the country housing the largest contingent of u.s. troops in africa there were just a hundred of them in two thousand and thirteen under obama administration but now with american first it's eight hundred u.s.

troops so a pretty broad mission with the government of news year in order to increase their capability to stand alone and to prosecute lone extremists in the region and according to a white house document as of june this year there are now three hundred u.s. troops in cameroon that's an additional whole fifteen more troops since december twenty sixth seen now that's a serious increase that no doubt requires a serious budget right no way you may say but oh yes just this wednesday the acting assistant secretary for african affairs asked for five point two billion tax dollars as it's the required budget for african assistance in twenty eighteen ok but why so much money because of the size of africa because the time and space and the distances when it comes especially crisis response type activities we need access in various places on the continent five point two billion dollars that's a lot of money for putting america first. the syrian

army is clearing the remaining pockets of terrorists and there is all provinces having now repelled most divisive from the city have made the it had become the terror groups to fight so capital having largely deserted this former bastion iraqi artie's arabic channel got rare access to see what life is like now in may of the many residents have fled before i suppose finally driven out describing how they risked their lives after losing everything to the islamists homes and belongings were seized during a brutal rule. by guided alemao i was jailed for six days for smoking a cigarette a rest would be made if they even smell tobacco they also had a so-called morality police known as the hizbollah if i shaved they would tell me for that. losing arrested twice because of the length of my beard they would torture me cut me and feed me rotten on another occasion of i was jailed for wearing trousers instead of the jail appear their garments. similar stories across

syria and has seen residents themselves fight back to in some cases in the city of women that took up arms and r.t. followed the efforts. that i don't. have. it.

i need to when i vented more has been and. meantime across the board the iraqi government forces have reportedly launched an operation against the kurdish held city of kirkuk in the north the prime minister said his forces were to quote impose security there at midnight on sunday the army began moving in on oil fields on an airbase held by kurdish peshmerga forces the governor called on residents to come out and defend their lands tensions a spike there since kurds voted for independence from iraq at the end of september washington both sides to avoid escalations and says he supports a unified iraq. catalonia the president of catalonia are still not clarifying whether he's going to declare the regions independence from spain

despite a looming deadline set by madrid for today instead he's written to the prime minister and now we hear requesting dialogue and an end to what he calls the oppression of catalonia mother's deadline was imposed. after the region conducted this controversial referendum two weeks ago now in which the majority of voters it turned out said they wanted to break away since then the cattle and president's been facing intense pressure from both sides. in c. steer events we have decided to insist and insist again on the need for mr ridge want to determine in an affirmative clear and comprehensible way that the republic must be proclaimed and it must be proclaimed on monday. rallies are still being staged in the region this one in the cattle city jiro at the weekend saw hundreds there pushing for local leaders to make good on their promise to declare independence in times not gone down well in central europe this news the european commission president earlier warned that if catalonia does break away it would set

a troubling president those cats alone you becomes independent others will do the same and i wouldn't like that i wouldn't like to see some ninety eight states in the european union it's difficult enough with twenty eight. british european parliament member nathan gill spoke to us about it he says the e.u. only supports whatever's in its own interest. i think it's been very disappointed in the reaction from the e.u. especially. and what we've really seen here is the reality of these projects. if it pleases them they will accept independence but it's you know we saw in two thousand and eight when it kosovo declared unilateral independence. said that this was an illegal move but the e.u. wanted it to happen politically so they got behind it and the push that made sure but it happened here they've said oh it's going to be too hard for us to control and the e.u. with ninety eight hundred different governments you know that we have to work with

the council of ministers and the council but quite frankly that is not a good enough reason when ultimately do you believe in the determination of people and the rights of people to decide their own determination for their own future. washington insists it's not giving up on diplomacy is the brinkmanship of a north korea continues so produced at rex tillerson told c.n.n. that he will continue negotiations until quote the first ball. he has made it clear to me to continue my diplomatic efforts which we are and we will can stop cold others as diplomatic efforts will continue until the first bomb drops to listens comment then comes amid rumors that his relationship with the president has taken a hit earlier this month trump tweeted that his chief envoy was wasting his time trying to negotiate with north korea to listen in systrom supports his diplomatic maneuvers though it is not pushing for war although the president has been

repeatedly making it clear that the military option is on the table we are totally clear the second option totally destroying north korea that's called the military option by fury military action like the world has never seen devastating. deficit devastating never see the rocket man. was on a suicide mission for himself rockets and shooting rockets all over the place suicide mission for him so he has been very should have been handled a long time that's called the military by fury it will be. we handle everything thank you very much. trumps tough talk seems to be resonating with his republican party right now a recent poll said forty six percent of members support a preemptive strike on north korea well forty one percent are against it is for north korea is planning another missile test maybe later this week in response to

joint drills being conducted between the u.s. and south korea and then just let you know too in today's edition of self and co right on the topic here on r.t. we have expert opinion as to why a fresh approach might be needed over north korea. now more than ever we have a big risk for the start of a new arms race again i think we've reached a sanction sense the problem started and in the korean peninsula and despite incremental sanction north korea has gone from one tests and talk about a nuclear test to see years to test a year in two thousand and sixteen and then one huge one that has gone beyond anything thinkable that they were able to do and it's what does it tell us i mean if you take a layman on the street is telling your look the sanctions seem to not be working from a layman perspective so if we incrementally pushing sanction and that sanctions seem to go incrementally with what north korea is doing i think we have to probably find

a way in what often it's call in diplomacy quest of diplomacy where we have. a way to put fresh air but at the same time keep the door open for discussion and so that we move towards a solution that is sustainable and this is what we're hoping for beyond the words. more that later but at the present just after the break americans prescription addiction is saying drug firms dragged into the courts of one state we'll tell you about that a lot more this monday. what

politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president i'm sure. you somehow want to be. that you'd like to be this is what was before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters and.

i can tell you next but the world festival of youth and students that's underway in russia's black sea resort of sochi is a weeklong cultural event expected to attract big audience but twenty thousand visitors from around the world here's some of the highlights from the opening ceremony for you. welcome to the nineteenth world festival of youth and students in sochi. i. came from jordan the middle east from sri lanka we are from argentina a lot of countries here more than one hundred fifty countries a lot of cultures a lot of people excited to meet a few people youngsters

a great opportunity to come and meet as one to get to know you all around the world there's like a sense that the possibility of brighter world a world with more social justice is impossible and here we can see that it isn't we can meet people from every country that can prove their experiences what they are doing in their countries and that's what we came to do and it's really great bridging the generation gap remains one of the goals of the world youth festival in the patrol introduced one of this year's participants than to someone who attended that event way back sixty years ago and currently work still for r.t. . hi i'm cost us i'm from greece i'm twenty five yes so we're going to meet george at his workplace what do you expect six years ago it was directly from the war come and. ok all of us and george bush i am glad to see you.

how old were you when the festival happened when for what if i said it cost us this place ok we're brothers yeah there's a difference of only sixty eight but what costs us would you like to get into a time machine and see what that was like of course because first of all i believe it was the first thing that asshole. soviet union at all people did not come in from the west because they were very wary and scared and the people from this side they didn't have the money and then the credentials to travel abroad the eyes of the soul within and russian people in moscow at that time were opened wide in their idealism the first time they had actually seen foreigners and the same on the part of the young participants through their eyes wide open they had eggs suspected to see bears and all kinds of guns and things here in this country and it was nothing the people's generosity the courtesy of the warmth nice of the people was something

absolutely unexpected all the participants boarded buses and trucks and after that that main thoroughfare was called prospect meter which means the avenue of avenue of peace and all along the route all the streets were lined i think we can see some pictures of that do you recognize this place george of course i wasn't trying to what they really in the inducted into the young people it seems like almost all the most cool down the streets and it actually i don't know if anyone ever estimated the number. or of must wait who came out of the street but i think what do you mean to be into millions what did they do with the security police. cordon off the all the people to stand on the sidewalks but that failed how did was to munich eight because they didn't know the language it didn't they didn't have to know the language of course there were interpreters but they said when there is friendship in your eyes and your heart

your we don't need an entrepreneur courses do you recognize this building i actually do i don't i don't. see the concert hall so if it says festival here that means probably some of the events happened inside you know that place that you play while you was waited song and dance groups and they must have played music right oh yeah music with music filled the streets all of moscow all along the route i don't. know at least each. other and. how many trucks were there george i'll tell you one thing try to figure it out yourself how many buses and trucks were required to carry to transport thirty four thousand the youngsters young people from the age of moscow into the center to the stadium here are like saudi arabia and i recognize costa do you think

you can ask george for any advice. in their festival if you're going to be lucky. you're going to be in my shoes sixty years hence ok great there's only thing one thing i am sorry about that i'm not twenty five years old again share your experiences with other peoples sheria share of what you guys. don't fight each other. we had enough of that idea and you can bet that. well i just me. nine unforgettable you had days. but yes. if it isn't in new york didn't move out he's been named you get a biggie i do not have now and they have not put it. on and doesn't pharmaceutical firms are being taken to court in the us state of michigan over marketing which accuses say is worsening people's opioid addiction un

peu it industry has taken a page out of big tobacco use playbook they utilized misleading information marketing campaigns and studies to convince the public that their product was safe we believe that the human cost and the financial cost to the counties is significant we think that some compensation is necessary for bad behavior in all over one hundred thousand people in the u.s. died from overdosing on prescription opioids between one thousand nine hundred ninety nine rather and twenty fifteen last year alone there are eight hundred seventeen drug related deaths of michigan's wayne county that's a sixty one percent increase from the year before while deaths in oakland county increased more than two hundred percent in recent years when opioid pain medication it's called oxic code is used to treat moderate to severe discomfort it's highly addictive though and has the same potential as morphine abuse along with misuse can lead to fatal overdose. you has made billions of dollars by fueling washington's.

these drug companies knew that what they were saying was wrong. more please see you all. i can tell you i've been in touch with a number of drug firms t.v. industries made it clear that they closely comply with all current federal and state regulations when it comes to the medications in question was a good response to from pere to farmer they deny all the allegations they said looking forward to defending their position as they put it drug firms have faced pressure before over some of been fined hundreds of millions of dollars in the past a former spokesman for the white house national drug policy office thinks it's the combined fault though of not only the companies but also the doctors who overprescribe. the companies have contributed a lot in terms of deception in terms of letting people think that these are only pain killers when they are addiction producers but it's not only on the marketers it's not only on the companies it's also on the doctors the doctors have

overprescribed in many cases about a quarter of the usage of opiates abuse and deaths are because doctors have overprescribed and not paid any attention to where the drugs are going so a lot has to be done there but you know this isn't just a doctor's problem it isn't just a marketing problem it isn't just a manufacturers problem it's a national production problem and a worldwide production problem full of stories about si dot com for now i'm kevin owen thanks for watching this latest live up to. the financial survival job today was all about money laundering first to visit this campus and the three different. oh good this is a good start well we have our three banks all set up for something and you're going to america something over the cayman islands or do we do all these banks are

complicit in their tough talk or seduce up to the bernie to do some serious wounds or ok let's say you know we did well we've got a nice watch for max and for stacey cole beautiful jewelry. for max you know what money laundering is highly illegal to watch president bush. not happy here that. can. only get you to talk a little. bit i'll build the. by then coffee session on the nod that they. buy there is a shift that on. not

a sudden loss is going on. so it. was if you have the multiple injuries among. them to yourself you. will feel so this is a yes but i don't know. that .

all things are considered. decision to start the process. is a big deal is this the path toward still another war also the so-called russia gate scandal takes a bizarre turn it's almost impossible to believe. some real news i'm joined by my guest here in moscow he's an international affairs and security analyst we also have he is a political analyst as well as a leading expert at the center for actual politics and of course we have dmitri

he's a political analyst with sputnik. international regimen as always crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciated i want to continue because we've talked about it last week donald trump has started the move to walk away from the iran deal none of us are surprised by that it was widely expected but did you know how he did it did surprise me a little bit. on social media e-mail s.m.s. is while the president was speaking i was receiving amazing number of messages saying peter how is it possible that the president the united states is saying what he's saying because factually speaking it is odd odds with reality because you know we're moving towards a new two thousand and three moment when europe russia other nations including the middle east are opposed to a conflagration that the u.s. is building towards and there are very very few countries that support the israel.

some countries and the persian goes real saudi arabia the united arab and to the speech to the actually it was. four cities you think he. supports al qaeda you know what well here's the thing that i see is the is are. radical. sunni radicals really and to them iran and the sheer are not just bust it's their enemy is that they have to be destroyed in what he was thinking a little you know if we look at you know when you bring up the issue of. fighting isis and all that i mean in iran wouldn't be doing this in iraq if it hadn't been for the illegal invasion of iraq in two thousand and three going back to your point in this moment is two thousand and three women want to know is this is this asked the obvious question here is this the drive to war i think it is indeed a

a first b.b.c. . in that direction softening everybody first of what has to be said that this refusal to certify what is the iranian nuclear agency review this is an american this is american legislation passed by congress in order to support and to check to put a leverage on obama's negotiation of this deal with the p five plus one plus others inherited yes. i think it's a first step towards war and one of the first indications of that to me is the usual neo cons in the commentary in the think tanks immediately perked up their head and said oh maybe it's a pretty low bar but everything trump said seems incredibly reasonable on this to me this was shoddy to me. as soon as that was the first whiff of

possible result of the neocons trotted out and suddenly discover this reality is they're saying they had to say was reasonable in foreign policy that's what i worry here the problem with this is of course. and it happens with american presidents it's always the domestic audience here but there are other signatories to this agreement and the iranians have made it very clear that they're not going to renegotiate this at all and the european american european allies or they actually went to washington and petitioned trump and his function is not to start walking over to the european union is not there and petitioning they just said the united states comment destroyed this agreement because it was an agreement between iran and you know we need to museums that they want to do the same changes ok this is going to be the strategy is it that the u.s. walks away from it and then any other country including iran because it would be

a different. sort of sanctions they would start sanctioning european companies do you mean with the right absolutely very very counterproductive for the u.s. in a number of ways first of all the relations that there has atlantic relationship is not in the best shape in your way system came to power in the us second of all their willingness for the u.s. to. come away from expected agreements and attempt to change them by force you know it seriously impacts on american reputation for their future and their protection of american diplomacy because if you did something so washington is called to this official washington actually care about that the moving the goalposts changing the rules in the middle of the game well i mean if you look here american diplomats have to care but because american power is not in a session anymore they understand the understand that their power is declining in that even now right now it's not going nothing ten years twenty years right now

it's in decline in they have to understand that they do understand that the reputation of the united states as a broker is a diplomatic broker in the world where that it concerns the far east and the future of the korean peninsula whether it concerns other areas of the middle east of which they make certain these are doing this walk that makes a deal with north korea almost exactly what i think it's a good thing what is going on strangely because the stupidity of this is so astounding that finally it can bring a good result because what's going on is indeed every petition or that you rock story but on a much greater scale i mean the incompetence over george bush jr is nothing compared to the incompetence or trump so in that sense i'm not a bad actor but three months a debatable point i'm prepared are going to have small going from the big lebowski you know i think it goes well for our literary analysis here is if you can have a thought he was in court but and that time which didn't need it. they were right

this is. all that great can't get probably right politico has cut came out and said that nikki haley her fingerprints on the speech what do you think my wife maybe nikki haley speech or the yoke on speechwriters had a finger in it but i seriously doubt whether nikki haley the former real estate account. holder said to r t the nikki haley's experience in foreign affairs was a few visits to the international house of pancakes i'd like to use for i wish i had said i'm told that's a great that might be stretching it but this speech was obviously bellicosity it does more than just question the u.s. is reliability as a partner europe had an eight year honeymoon with obama and to be fair if this was hillary clinton leading this decertification they would probably be getting in line for it but it's trump and they need to be they're reminded again after george bush now again with trump that every four years they face the prospect

of being. stuck with a us that they simply can't at least values wise align with but more than that this is a big threat once again the us is the world's biggest problem with anti-proliferation nuclear proliferation efforts around the world they keep sabotaging this again we saw libya we saw iraq saddam hussein we're seeing this occur with north korea and now with iran iran comes to the deal with a civilian nuclear program and under blackmail from the obama regime it agrees to this this nuclear deal but they came to the table now what are other countries going to draw from this that if you even try to enter into negotiations the u.s. has no good faith in these negotiations. with the p five plus one with the u.n. security council the international atomic energy agency germany france the u.k.

china. and russia all agreeing that iran is in full compliance ok with the. markets absolutely but who benefits from what trump said look if there are any beneficiaries. first of all back to your question about politico that the politico has a domestic angle it's well known that is not that it was tillerson and he has criticized him openly said that he's lost and he haley's positioning yourself to take a seat at the state of the state department could pay and. she's looking for you know any sort of more you know being used as a wedge and so it's a way of promoting here for this position doesn't mean she's going to get it it doesn't mean that she gets computers as mark rightly said but this is this is

a way to to to. our way of promoting here now as far as beneficiaries of term again it's several countries in the middle east first and foremost as though it's saudi arabia and some other girl from other kids. see iran as their main adversary in their dejan and certainly some parts of the american national security establishment and they're either tied to those to the interests of those countries and let's remember some are tied to the interests of foreign. nations for and allies of the u.s. and some that we're going to benefit from for them from the war itself from the arms that would be made it would the interesting thing is looking at cable television in the us is that it's another stick to beat russia and the radios will be backed up by the russians i kept hearing that over and over again well that's true. to what degree is it true russia signed the agreement like the europeans did

in the americans in the iranians i mean there they're. the parallel with russia is that they have no evidence on the run just like they have no evidence crushing getting involved in the american elections they have no evidence that iran has ever supported terrorist strikes including strikes against israel so i'm not even sure israel would benefit from this kind of thing that the israeli it is right here in the chaos. more than anything you know these rating hawks might benefit people like netanyahu but israel wants to be a dominant military force in the region that's true ok but you know that is not the strongest one of them is not creating any misery or you don't have a displeased them you know that you have iraq that is strongly aligned with. syria also i mean all the way up to israel's border although we have to go to the occupied golan heights where i really started he's just a complete mystery to me and always feels easier when we're going to go to

a short period made a huge mistake i'm sure people can you know discussion on some little state party. what we want is to put an end to nuclear testing and then to move towards a world free of nuclear weapons and to do that we have to bring countries who seek or who of this ambition to understand that their national security doesn't depend on the possession of nuclear weapons. we will willingly accepted the real being shot wounded taken prisoner. but noone

signed up to be friggin poisoned by our own people that was nuclear biological and chemical products said do not truck tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene batteries trucks there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection between berm pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate every soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about illnesses from exposure from the burn pit would read literally send to be a pro and they don't want to pay it so the waiting decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they won't have to pay and. get the middle finger the movie is to model is. delayed and i hope you don't.

do colon is still exist. rico's treated as one. hundred point zero three cool. and i knew a lot of. the island is controlled by the us government and some puerto ricans crave independence. either way but i mean. there are. still many do wish to join the us hundreds more leave every day. with the country at a crossroads for anger of the island is on the rise. welcome back across not where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you

we're discussing some real news. ok gentlemen well into the year of investigative investigations and reports and suspicions and allegations and i could go on and on about russia gate here we have a new twist to c.n.n. is breaking new ground here mark this pokémon go which i really don't have a great idea what that is but apparently. this is a game that you can play an app and the russians captured and controlled it in flipped elections apparently you know this is this is where russia gate jumps the shark consortium news dot com i think it's what we have here out of this report actually originated in c.n.n. money of of all places which has been kind of a breeding ground for these refer these ridiculous russia good stories and what we

literally have quote russian linked poky mongo quote tentacles unquote. out of a quote shadowy troll moore yeah you know i mean of course this is blowing up in their faces and tyrell you the internet just. you know reacted with complete mockery goal or putin right now on the back to be could true with his shirt off and everything about it or does it actually discredit the whole russia gates nori has been tremendously deceptively tells me again i'm sick and tired of this because i'm tired or tired of talking about allegations and there are no facts to talk about but picture this is the state of journalism this is the sad state of journalism here where you know the alternative media is criticised for click bait and trying to get eyeballs and i mean this is the model of companies like c.n.n. i mean just click mindless stories that have no basis in reality or meaningful

reality there's another angle to the bin you know one of the reasons they're saying this and they've connected this book in my story to racial strife in the u.s. to. my answer to. what are they trying to do with this they're trying to see if. they still it is in the us still is between the. ages and partly it's. because not so much by issues but because the russians or the chinese or somebody else is stalking it but even you know it's you know it's you that people know i mean go out in their thousands in washington d.c. and baltimore in new york in l.a. another american cities they know full well they're there not because russia or somebody else is going on them to do so they're not doing it because somebody is using book a month at this. town do it to get them there it's not just

a ridiculous it's it's a terrorist well it's not to say that it's nothing new in the nineteenth sixty's the f.b.i. says. beared the civil rights movement and martin luther king as communist agents this is an old cold war and hard to know their king was actually. this is this is an old cold war card replayed for that matter who idea but the interesting thing is that you know the these ridiculous conspiracy theories x is the explanation for the failure of the western political elites it is the failure of mainstream media is that you know the entire approach of neo liberalism of the last forty years has created the conditions that we have on the great ground right now they just don't want to take responsibility for it must be somebody else's fault well the problem is that they have to go further and further they can't get back i mean the expression in that washington post. that might help the senate can make it to get

to the bottom or would have front in the rush inquiry and called to do it the russian. has nothing to do with the elections and what that shows how it's may have shown defeating experience if. you don't express action for your bottom i think the bottom of the russian woman there was no russian involvement you know what imo it is that. simply an american and now they have to go through something that serbs and many other nations have gone through before serbs were told many times you could meet that gripes your are they criminals over the board cuts through us show us that they are dense no the senator said the senator said that you are criminals because i will and media says it so now americans have to go through the same ordeal that the serbs and. cleary clinton says it's true there isn't going to be a ship in my or subcommittee of the coast and they are just. doing this to say for

years and. go to the baltimore with. the switch gears a little bit. unesco the united states announced that it's going to be leaving this cultural organization israel as well here and it seems to me again looking at their rationale for it i'm not a big fan of an organization this with a lot of money ok i'm not but this is one of the more they did that are hard most think you know if you could see the evidence of their work i've seen a lot of the stuff around the world that they invested money and protected but it seems it seems to me that the u.s. and israel withdrawing probably because you know sco respects the rule of law and international law and i think it's very very clear it's this is it's kind of exceptionalism meets international law and this is where the breakdown it is it is pretty much just contempt for international law and it has to be said one of the

better aspects of international law is you know something that you can hardly find fault with it's pretty hard to understand even the rationale what it can only be celebrated this is this the u.s. and israel pulling out of this and it has to be said that the day after they did the first jewish french jewish was elected the head of your nasco so that you know that brings in the question there but this only decreases the u.s. standing it shows their contempt for dealing with any international body it's not as i remember if i say it was only hard if they were actually is normally part of it they were only part of the the media angle and to make sure that they could spin that i was i was at the headquarters and that was the only they showed up one person. to keep an eye on the show with all the other issues. the u.s. had already withdrawn from so it was there for political reasons will come to this is all because of unesco support of palestine right. this past week could be called you know the ultimate me because really friendship week it started with. the

revolutionary guards corps the iranian revolutionary guards corps a terrorist organization it's part of the iranian army by it. so you would be calling the ring an army official a terrorist organization it proceeded with synchronize the exits of the u.s. and israel from going there and it ended with. a speech. against iran israel saudi arabia i mean this is a knowledge of twelve of epic proportions i think i think it's. going to talk about . let's not forget the united states supports the ukrainian regime which destroys cultural cooperation between ukraine and russia the but i don't fall of the books actually all the books from russia that brays what they call aggressive country russia what kind of cultural cooperation can you talk about if they let the states and the ewald support such a regime how israel supports cultural. peroration with the arabs we all

know specially in gaza at places like that so i think it would be you were being you know awful to believe that they're going to because if they support the regime which imports cultural sanctions what we see against russia right now what we see what was sore against serbia what was sore against syria these were in fact cultural sanctions you know they're like they're mad men believe me all of the cultural things that have been destroyed in syria will you have a lack six years here or a gentleman or beseeches look at the. money that was spent or hang gentlemen i want to i want to move on with. what what's on your mind moment your story from each one of you in the time we have left the in syria the implementation of this austin our agreement turkey has moved military forces into al qaeda occupied. under escort of al-qaeda i mean it's called a little bit on the b.b.c. and c.n.n. right now no they're not reporting it very well but i mean you do you will find

references to it this is and certainly all the experts in the area the journalists tweeting amongst themselves or commenting on it. this is all i hear it all sean this is the latest alias of al qaeda they are firmly in control of provinces it's as she how do you paradise there and turkey which was illegally armed trained in south you know these these and other jihadi proxies for the last six years the answer is not to fight al qaeda but under al-qaeda escort to take up positions against the kurdish camps and afrin and this is a complete violation of the austin argument the syrian government has called for turkey to get out turkey meanwhile in the other area they control in north central syria is setting up turkish government post offices urging doesn't play well you need serious staging the tribes you know one of the things that you know again looking at the mainstream. cheering on defeating isis in syria and iraq i find

it is really just down doing. the heavy lifting that russia has been involved in the last couple of years gets no airtime at all it's all the credit is given to the i think several weeks ago it took to the start every time there is a war and the u.s. centers at some point down the united states declares itself the victor and we seeing that today again so we could predict that several years when the crisis in syria is going to end and. you know articles books are going to be written about it people are going to find stuff about it in textbooks what are they going to read in the u.s. what are they going to eat in london or in canada or in or in france they're going to eat there was the. kenyan. on the very one in the scene and they saved everyone both through my says in the film it's sort of you know sister says that the iran supports well it was from isis and from iraq and from other guy that will not really is that isis would never have been in iraq or

in syria without iranian help. well for me there was more to study and you will support me and also. and by the russian defense ministry that while everyone was afraid of russian troops participating in the military exercise and i wish to lead you to a new story in two thousand and seventeen. point the united states increased the brigade that is stationed in poland basically to the size of it thank you division in russian terms which means hundreds of us tanks from colorado in the steps oh off poland trade next to the russian border if we will look at that at the number of we actually have a bold thousand nato troops right on the border with russia don't forget four thousand nato troops now stationed in the black sea and also in yes but the story line news that russia is being aggressive towards nato ople russia is being

aggressive towards needed by moving to within its own data that's threatening to general russia is not very. many thanks my guest here in moscow and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at the see you next time and remember across. the aisle at the. market as you see that is all. they. know he said a beam that allowed them to keep the heat outside and. by then cutting session on the not at all. but that is a shift the while. not i don't.

want. so let's look not so with. daniel no support was your view how did it move the pope multiple injuries among can connect to so the keeps a few looks but shows real you know mercy on the phone to the book on the if you want of a political social services say yes but in the book in a moral sense what in my. own image of nothing on the left off allowed me. something that made you walk. down the aisle something outside of. the model a silent digitals look modest that's what up to now maybe commenting on that people who are left to.

go to war hawks sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forces you to fight the battles that still. leads to new socks for the tell you that will be gossip and tabloid but it's also the most important news today. while i'm off the bad guys and tell me you are not cool enough unless you buy their products. leads all the hawks that we along with all its worth watching. we all willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but noone was signed up to be friggin poisoned by our own people i've seen stuff that was nuclear biological and chemical products the said do not truck tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene batteries trucks there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection

between berm pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate every soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about illnesses from exposure from the burn pit would read literally send to be a pro and they don't want to pay it so the waiting and decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they will have to pay. all grow up and get the middle finger to the movies tomorrow is. delayed and i hope you die. here's what people have been saying about redacted in the us actually it's the law in austin the only show i go out of my way to lunch you know really what it is that really packs a punch elite yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are

apparently better than two thousand and six and see people you never heard of love went back to the night not the president of the world bank hey i'm going to write me seriously send us an e-mail. this is our to international in the program the smalling austrian votes is right to elect the world's youngest leader. gratian party to make significant gains to. the u.s. increases next year's budget to over five billion dollars as somalia reels from its worst ever terrorist attack. and development a long drawn out story now as president refuses to clarify whether his regions declaring independence from spain instead asking for talks with the prime minister who's threatening to impose direct rule from madrid.
