after cold weather and the lack of medical help killed a five year old girl. very good evening to you appreciate you joining us this hour my name is neil harvey this is r.t. and. hundreds of thousands of people have gone out onto the streets of barcelona they're calling for the release of two key members of the independence movement who were recently arrested earlier on saturday the spanish prime minister announced that madrid was triggering article one five five of the constitution the government's also asked the senate to remove key figures from the catalan government and transfer their responsibilities to ministers around iraq expressed his desire for a snap election in the region at the earliest opportunity the move to feel the

anger of the council on people. has more now from barcelona. 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 council lumia and behind me hundreds of people keep coming in now we see different people here with the people who came here with their families and some of them maybe 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 council on 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 there are 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 catherine independence will do the same we went initiate any conflicts we are not aggressive they are aggressive independence was declared in a very messy way so i'm not surprised by what's happening now to discuss the situation in more detail then we're joined by jews employees. and economies and he is here with me in the center of course alon and think you so much for joining me now do you expect the senate to approve the measure is presenting.

i think. initially should approve measures and then he's just. really good at that. because this means that the president out of the government. and then i don't know who is going to do it manage the government up at the rhetoric but. she was. in the short term. for. spain because she's a combined from the. different price companies and so on business and the economy doesn't buy that that was going to. say.

you had been. that's mean. for next. year i think all right thank you so mind hundreds of thousands of protesters came to the streets barcelona to voice their concerns and this is what we're witnessing here is really the biggest constitutional crisis the country has been in decades. counting is underway in the czech republic where this weekend's general election will decide the country's next leader with votes counted in most areas now they. want the no movement has almost a third of the ballots exceeding expectations out of the party who say euro skeptic billionaire who's previous been the finance minister and the deputy prime minister had been gaining popularity prior to the vote. the group system we've had for so long is what i call

a system so yes we are in the movement. there is no place for migrants in europe. i don't want to be in the eurozone or in the country to be a guarantor for greek banks. let's face it they're not impair their foreman's economy governance and the eurozone is so weak. some of our political approach is just the real world. across the european union euro skeptic parties of recently being gaining support in france marie le pen the leader of the national front party was the main rival to be

elected president. in germany the f.t. not only entered parliament for the first time but also became the third largest party in the bundestag the freedom party in austria also came in elections their former czech foreign minister serious for border things the mood is ripe for euro skepticism within the e.u. . in your view are all. the. euro skeptic forces going to see him hardly gentlemanly of course in austria this is a massive victory of euro skeptic forces and maybe in the czech republic mr buckbee in the houston movement and more belongs to the. group of party is who are against. us with you all or. does of which some called

the vet is strong send you rubin of. human rights activists and n.g.o.s are urging the greek or therapies to improve conditions at their 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 a lack of medical support at the morea refugee camps on the island of les boss just hours prior to her death her parents were reportedly refused extra blankets like other refugee camps in greece more is notorious for its conditions well than fifteen hundred people including children and pregnant women have been living there many of them without even a source of heating. in winter temperatures there can drop below zero and as a result dozens of refugees have died in the last few years e.u.'s place to give

more than a billion euros to greece by twenty twenty that sent it to help it cope with the migrant crisis more than a million refugees have reached the country which is a main entry point into europe since twenty fifteen but as the influx threaten service stretch great resources the response has been questioned. economic could be a challenge to governments with things we simply can't cope with the influx and haven't got the administrative resources talking nice proper relief for refugees a bill proper cabinet the official a current of the you has a whole having not been signed off by the court to board it as the only county building for the last twenty three years we know that the e.u. is very little idea about how its money is spent and that's always been true this be true before the market crisis and it's tonight during the migrant crisis in the e.u. doesn't know how to manage its money. and you know

a lot of the money goes into a bloated bureaucracy and the governments of greece and italy i'm afraid not renowned for the. put it. minnesota efficiency or credibility. now western reporters branded thousands of arties guests being useful it is nice is it will explain all after the break. this is i believe the worst crisis in modern american history is the crisis of unfettered capitalism undermining the entire population of the country and we've seen the arab spring we've seen other hot spots in the world and ice and i feel the heat building.

to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want. to go on to be this is what before. people. interested. a think tank called european values has released a roll of the damning report about this channel criticizing the process more than two thousand people who have appeared here is guests. funding from the u.s.

and other western governments has branded the guests useful idiots this report. it's a bit of a surprise for you the 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 a 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 artes 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 t.'s 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 due to an awareness of political agenda or indeed explicit support of it and instead names and credibility to see. and proxy agents of the kremlin is pretty clear we need to start to know

the most 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. the host of all of these 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 the politicians here and in the united states have learned are going to think that a young is verified and the former first minister scott alexander the former mayor

of london that they're just idiots they useful idiots of course they're not in this incredibly insulting i mean there is no not to call 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 front president. apparently is doing its job according to the regulator here in britain but not according to politicians 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 perhaps a bit surprised to see on useful idiots list senator john mccain he's a vocal critic of russia but he's groups among politicians who have been on r.t.

the film director rob reiner he makes an appearance a lot you might actually know that he's now part of an organization which is called the committee to investigate russia probably not have found that other politicians on the list include former presidential candidate bernie sanders and and it is it to him the current u.s. president donald trump even former first lady michelle obama gets a mention on the report. and this report clearly states that all these people appeared on a show called politicking with larry david now only a tiny problem with this is that the famous american comedian here i.e. david has never actually had a show on r.t. politicking has always of course been hosted by the veteran journalist larry king and that wasn't the only mistake either the think tank said that it took guests names from shows descriptions from our website that seem to have led to just turn of confusion take boris johnson for instance his claim that he appeared on artie's

news think comedy show this was his appearance so 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. he saw. proportion. and a machine a british former intelligence officer and frequent guest on r.t. what she thinks 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 feel i do it professionally too because i get reinvited back to all of those too and it's only when i appear and r.t.

that apparently i'm doubting to be useful idiots and i would also say as well that 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 vet what i might be about to say many of the t.v. channels do because they're scared and they want to make sure that they're in control of what their guests are saying and yet i still appear on many other t.v. channels so perhaps what i'm saying is not being putin's useful idiot perhaps it's just an alternative perspective that people need to hear. some people are saying this is a sense of history repeating itself because seventy years ago saw the start of america's so-called and the soviet or anti russia which aren't.

chairman j. parnell thomas of new jersey all funds that inquiry into possible communist penetration of a hollywood film industry are coming to your city to determine if party members have reached the screen with the first the propaganda.

borrows the some. believe and the cover of the jackal. which is always phone to the throat of anyone who dares to expose individuals come in the same time get off an evil. look at that it's a different empire max and not very different because what a lot of their partners are paying for three t.v. man in europe plotting what to do and sit. here first and defend the activities of communist nations while consistently attacking the domestic and foreign policy of the united states she may be a commie i will say if they object they are now carrying out the desires for the ambitions of that. pollutant. how it could be a bloodless coup engineered by russia with past the traitorous indifference of the republican party and donald john trump and the military apparatus of this country is about to be handed over to scum who are beholden to scour the russian sky.

iran's reiterated that it's complying with the nuclear deal the donald trump is 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 and the north korean crisis could worsen but she didn't stop it is clear that the failure of the g c p a way iran deal u.t. 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 that he would decertified the deal that means congress now has sixty days to decide whether it wants the reimpose sanctions upon iran or agree new legislation relating to the accord or trump said that he wants his country out of the nuclear agreement even though it's widely acknowledged that iran has not violated any terms we agreed on the fact that iran is instead of. the help your deal is a nuclear deal the agreement is they live in. compliance once all violations of the nuclear range i'm all for agreements because of. the. the spirit of their agreement not living up to the spirit of the agreement. and the deal was hammered out back in two thousand and fifteen by the so-called p five plus one group that consists of the united kingdom russia the united states china france and germany who negotiated with the round 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. settlement and deal about the iran was a great achievement and it was achievement by the p five in the security council and we have seen that before in the question all the syrian chemical weapons that were set on months and there is also now is some sort of agreement on syria. syria between the p five so it's very important to preserve. these these precedents all the agreement between the p five and the security council and if that were to be damaged in the that would be very serious a thing for the future authority of the security council and that is a you all bang up to date with the very latest news headlines see you at the top of

the hour. but with these games in a moment now to sanctions are working but. it's it's the reality. meets. the russian economy and the russian the financial system and i know a lot of people who are looking for a creative way. to get a better result. you know.

given. that. i'm back from now on and.

i'm afshin rattansi we're going underground today is the nineteenth national congress of the communist party of china superpower of the twenty first century continues in the great hall of the people in beijing coming up on the show good former british colonies single deadliest terrorist attack in the country's history have been avoided we are at mogadishu university of russia and china should be to blame but not good. policy in east africa and we go to yemen just about continuing war contending with the worst cholera outbreak in recorded history. and maybe the honorable maybe is another member who should take up the multiple interventions by britain. at this week's questioning of about the old u.k. prime minister. all the civil coming up. but first in a thousand years this week may be remembered will it for the u.s. u.k. linked al qaeda mogadishu atrocity nor the assassination of panama papers

journalist. in malta but something detected from two hundred million years ago good morning ladies and gentlemen we have for the first time seen both gravity. nation waves and light from the collision of two dense dead stars guess as predicted by einstein scientists have confounded critics of last year's observations to reveal the gravitational waves exist gravity being the weakest of physics four fundamental forces and yet the one that means we go around the sun along with others the lie go or laser interferometer gravitational wave observatory detected the merging of two stars to cause waves of our present in the universe and audioboo is released to broadcast as all of the so-called sound of neutron stars merging sound of that took hundreds of millions of years to reach us through space and which signify the creation of perhaps the gold in your local jewelry shop. one of the reasons we can hear that splash is that after soviet scientists worked

on the subject and in the usa began gravity wave research funded by the us military we don't of course know whether research into using gravity wave weapons by the pentagon is being carried out right now but we do know that research here in britain is now being focused on new weapons while austerity hits hard at home in the n.h.s. housing and for the most vulnerable hundreds of millions of dollars are to go into research into new british ways to kill people u.k. dragon five and a d d s t o u k industry programme to demonstrate the capability of a laser directed energy weapon system for the self protection of land maritime an app but. it's funded by innovation funding the question of course will be how this new u.k. laser weapon will be used right now that means would britain use it with its saudi allies to target civilians ravaged by cholera in yemen and would it have been used to support british backed isis and al qaeda linked militants.
