anger of the catalan people. and is in barcelona and joins is on the line now. obviously a lot going on today what's the mood there at the moment. well it is quite an important day for the country and especially for the region of council whiny and given the news that we've been receiving throughout the day now as you can see this is classic consular union and behind me hundreds of people keep coming in now we see different people here will see people who came here with their families and some of them mainly of them brought small children with them we see a lot of young people if you can hear that that's the police helicopter and the crowds here are reacting in quite an active way every time they see police here and police has cordoned off of the whole area of the central part of this consulate

regional capital the city of barcelona now is a as i've mentioned before we see different types of people here and mostly we see a lot of young people here they came here holding flags of independent counsel idea and they're marching across the center of the city and support of the independence and support of the referendum they're voicing their concerns and voicing their opinion and we managed to speak to some of them and their share they're quite mixed reaction that they have. triggering article one hundred fifty five is unreasonable while in the council on people if madrid wants to change the whole governments they can go ahead but i will try to disobey and i hope that everyone who is in favor of cattle on independence will do the same we went initiate any conflicts we are not aggressive they are aggressive independence was declared in the very messy way so i'm not surprised by what's happening. now to discuss the situation in more

detail joined alive by jews employees who is in the economies and he is here with me in the center of our salon and think you so much for joining me now. do you expect the senate to approve the measure is presenting. i think. initially should proof measures. designed i need it change should be. because. everything. and then.

that the president out. and then i don't know who is going to do it. during that time. nobody knows. that. but. you know. if. this means that. any action. would be. accepted. do you think it's going to turn

into chaos sorry do you think it's it might turn into chaos. every day things. but. in turkey right now it's because the people indeed. persecuted. and so on. in any case life. and what about the economic consequences for cattle and the end for spain what are those economic consequences the situation is very dramatic now what a thing this could be. but things for both in the short term. for. spain because he's a. different price companies and so on.

left. to be. left and go to spain and this creates uncertainty and so on but in a. very very bad i think that was. because. the economy was. how. strong. the. in debate politics and. business and they're going to meet. that that was going to. say. you had been at the time that's mean but. next. year i think all right thank you so much that was just employees d.v.d.'s and

taken in the condom is running us live here at the union where as you can see hundreds of thousands of protesters are gathering to protest in support of the independents and again as a sad one of the biggest constitutional crisis that the country has and decades. thank you. on to other news now and counting is underway in the czech republic where this weekend's general election will decide its next leader votes counted the most there is the anti establishment movement has almost a third of the ballots that it says in excess of expectation the head of the party a euro skeptic billionaire previously been the finance minister and the deputy pm had been gaining popularity prior to the vote.

the group system we've heard for so long is what i call. the movement. there is no place for migrants in europe. i don't want to be in the eurozone country to be a. greek. let's face it they're not in their formal economy governance. is so weak. some of our political approach is just the real world. across europe in union euro skeptic parties have recently been gaining support in

france marie le pen leader of the national front was the main rival to elected president emmanuel macron in germany the f.t. not only entered parliament for the very first time but also became the third largest party in the bundestag or the freedom party in austria also came third in elections there for czech foreign minister several for border thinks that the mood is right for euro skepticism within the e.u. . in europe are on the face of the new one and we can say euro skeptic course is going to seem small partly german many of course in austria this is a very massive victory of the euro skeptic forces and maybe in the czech republic mr babbitt and his movement and law belongs to deal. with the group of party is who are against court us within the

e.u. or or who. does a movement which some called the very strong send you look to be in position. iran's reiterated its complying with the nuclear deal that donald trump's threatening to scrap earlier russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov weighed in he stressed international security would be threatened if the u.s. ended the agreement on the north korean crisis would could i should say worse shouldn't stop it is clear that the failure of the g c p a way iran deal duty one of the five plus one members especially one of its most active members essentially the leader of the group would be an alarming signal to the architecture of international security including the settlement of the nuclear issue on the korean peninsula if you want to negotiate with kim jong un and your goal is to avoid war and try to be able to have a diplomatic resolution the worst thing you can do is first threaten to destroy his

country and the united nations and secondly screw around with the deal that has already been made because the message is don't make a deal with the united states they won't keep their word. last week the u.s. president announced he would decertified the deal in congress now sixty days in which to decide whether it wants to reimpose sanctions upon iran or agree new legislation relating to the accord donald trump said that he wants his country out of the nuclear agreement even though it's widely acknowledged the round has not violated the terms we agreed on the fact that iran will. be here to deal with the nuclear deal the agreement is there live in. compliance once all violations of the nuclear range i'm all for agreements because of. the up to the spirit there is agreement not living up to the spirit of the agreement.

the run deal was hammered out back in twenty fifteen by the so-called p five plus one group that consists of the united kingdom russia the united states china france germany and iran it followed nine years of intense talks and was hailed as a major breakthrough the former head of the u.n. nuclear watchdog spoke exclusively to r.t. and told us it's important to preserve the deal. the settlement and deal about the iran was a great achievement and it was achievement in dreyer by the p five in the security council and we have seen that before in the question of the syrian chemical weapons there was also a settlement and there is also now some sort of agreement on syrian peace will come out come of syria between the p five so it's very important to preserve. these these precedents of agreement between the p five and the security council and if that were to be damaged in the iranian case that would be very serious

a thing for the future authority of the security council human rights organizations war deaths could rise in greek refugee camps this winter the full story after this short break.

seem wrong. just don't. get to shape our. culture. and in. the trade. find themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground. welcome like a think tank called european values has released a damning report about this very channel criticizing more than two thousand people who have appeared as guests the institute which gets funding from the united states and other western governments brown's our guest is useful idiots earlier i discussed the report with. it's a bit of a surprise for you the party bashing continues now and this particular report the

issues that artie's guests are having really a dig at themselves this is a report by think tank based in the czech republic called european values reporters called the kremlin's platform for useful idiots in the west an overview of ortiz editorial strategy and evidence of impact now what this report does is neatly compile a list of basically all of our t.'s guests because it features thousands of people and it's not just you know or around a list not only are there seven categories in this report dividing our guests into us politicians and political figures british politicians european and other international politicians writers journalists academics and so on so seven categories and if that wasn't enough it also indicates the number of times each guest appeared on r t and links to some of the most relevant episodes it's clear

that this particular think tank really worked hard at watching r t here in the u.k. in the states and all around the world he doesn't really mince words when it comes to our team gets not only is the report dubbed useful idiots but it also calls the guests naive and oblivious to our tease intentions so certainly something that is not being too nice to people who have chosen to come and express their opinion on our network and here is why the report decided to really look into all this the purpose of this list is to identify individuals who either an awareness of a political agenda or indeed explicit support of it and then stand names in credibility. and proxy agents of the kremlin is pretty clear we need to start. hello my name is neil and. what. all we need to be ashamed about a missing one the two things one of the. what have you done what have we done wrong

well apart from looking at all of our guests of course this wouldn't be a proper think tank report if it didn't actually try to get r t itself it does say that the goal is to look at the history agenda the evidence of impact of the channel that they describe as quote pushing pro kremlin agenda or under the guise of free speech and alternative journalism now not only does this report claim to be debunking certain what it calls myths about the channel such as being a reliable news source saying that it's not harmful and also goes into key points such as saying that our cheese whole goal is to denigrate the west and our tea is rooted in the denial of truth we can say that some of the sponsors behind this piece is mostly private donors but as well as open society which is obviously a george soros foundation the european parliament the u.s. embassy in the czech republic and we do know that the author has been doing some work with the atlantic council which of course is known for certain anti russia

hype so really no surprises there we'll have to wait and see what kind of reactions we see from all of those thousands of people who have been coming onto our channel to express their views in addition i asked the host of auntie's going underground show what he thought about his guests being called useful idiots. amazing that reports like this are actually presumably being read by politicians and hopefully you know our guests who still continue to appear but as regards guests the guests that they mentioned in the delineate in this report i mean does she really think and do politicians here and in the united states have learned are going to think that a young is very of factors and for first minister scott and alexander the former mayor of london they're just idiots they useful idiots of course they're not in this incredibly insulting i mean there is no logical consistency here and it is at the moment we're joking about it a little but of course there is a serious side the british foreign secretary did this week ask democratically

accountable politicians in britain that he should decide which networks are democratically elected politicians should be allowed should be appearing on that precedent which apparently is doing its job according to the regulator here in britain but not according to politicians the clearly do not want certain views being expressed and given the oxygen of publicity to the british public and here are some of the names that you might be a little surprised to see on that useful idiots list sense to john mccain who is a vocal critic of russia he's groups among politicians who have been on r.t. and director rob reiner he makes an appearance he's actually now part of an organization though that's called the committee to investigate russia other politicians on the list include former presidential candidate bernie sanders as well as the current president donald trump even former first lady michelle obama

got a mention. now the report also clearly states that all these people piers on a show called politicking with larry davey to that's larry david now i wish that was a real show it would be great to watch the problem is the famous american comedian has never actually had a show in our politicking is always of course been hosted by the veteran journalist larry king now that wasn't the only mistake either the think tank says it took guests names from show descriptions from our website which apparently led to more confusion great confusion though take boris johnson for instance its claim that he was an r.t.s. news thing comedy show easy mistake if you watch the appearance. it's always someone with their finger on the right side of the international affairs. johnson. welcome. are we going to get a chance to fight the spanish before america and russia killer so. you saw would you prove to be. proportionate i am informed that wasn't in fact

boris johnson now we asked an emotional neighbor the former intelligence officer a frequent guest on r.t. what she thought of also being on the list. i think we should wear it as a badge of honor because it shows that there is a group of people out there who are not afraid to challenge the western consensus so i'm trying to put forward my perspective my opinions based on twenty five years of expertise within certain fields and i feel that i do that professionally and i oversee other news outlets here like it professionally too because i get reinvited back to all of those too and it's only when i appear on r.t. that apparently i'm doubting to be useful idiots and i would also say as well that air r.t. is one of the very few t.v. channels that when it invites me on to do an interview they do not insist on a pre interview to censor and threat what i might be about to say many other t.v. channels do because they're scared and they want to make sure that they're in control of what they're saying and yet i still appear on many other t.v. channels so perhaps what i'm saying is not being useful idiots perhaps it's just an

alternative perspective that people need to hear. human rights activists and n.g.o.s are urging the greek or thirty's to improve conditions at the refugee camps as winter approaches there's growing concern asylum seekers are not equipped to cope with freezing temperatures last week a five year old girl died from the cold and the lack of medical support mario a refugee camp us on the island of last boss just hours before her death her parents were reportedly refused extra blankets like other refugee camps in greece maria is notorious for its conditions more than fifteen hundred people including children and pregnant women a living there many without even a source of heating now in winter temperatures could drop as low as zero as a result dozens of refugees have actually died there in the last few years use pledge to give more than a billion euros to greece by twenty twenty that's the help cope with the migrant

crisis more than a million refugees have reached the country and main entry point into europe since twenty fifty but as the employers threatens to overstretch great resources the u.s. response has been questioned. economic could be a challenge to governments with the increase simply can't cope with the influx and haven't got the administrative resources talking nice proper relief for refugees or build proper camps the official a current. of the u. has a hole have not been signed off by the court awarded to the only county building for the last twenty three years we know that he has very little idea about how its money is spent and that's always been true does be true before the crisis during the crisis the e.u. doesn't know how to manage its money. and you know a lot of the money goes into the bloated bureaucracy and the governments of greece

and italy i'm afraid i'm not renowned for how can i put it. minnesota efficiency or credibility. and let's get a recap from barcelona these are live pictures for you where hundreds of thousands of people are going out onto the streets of the city they're calling for the release of two arrested members of the independence movement that are also demanding the release of two key members of the breakaway camp who were recently arrested earlier today the spanish prime minister asked the senate to remove the main figures from the catalan government at the transfer their responsibilities to ministers are staying with the story throughout the on r.t. . ok and that is it you are right up to date and staying with this latest news headlines coming your way at the top of the.
