3:11 pm
prices and it's tonight during the migrant crisis and the e.u. doesn't know how to manage its money. and you know a lot of the money because into the bloated bureaucracy and the governments of greece and italy i'm afraid i'm not renowned for the. put it. in a city of efficiency or credibility and western reporters branded thousands of arties guessed as useful idiots not very nice will explain all after the break. but will these gaming. lead to sanctions are breaking but the fact of the damaging both sides it gets to its new reality. they may change the russian economy and the russian the financial system and i know a lot of people who are looking for creative ways to get better results.
3:12 pm
in case you're new to the game this is how it works not the economy is built around corporate corporations from washington washington media the media the. voters elected to businessman to run this country business equals power you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before . welcome back a think tank calling itself european values released
3:13 pm
a damning report about this channel and criticized more than two thousand people who've appeared as guests. says funding from the u.s. and other western governments has branded the guests as useful idiots discuss the reports with auntie's to see a check you know it's a bit of a surprise for you the bashing continues now in 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 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 a round of list not only are there seven categories in this report dividing our guests into us politicians and political figures british politicians european and
3:14 pm
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 its 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 individual. even when it's a political agenda or indeed explicit support of it and instead needs incredibility to see to it and proxy agents of the kremlin is pretty clear we need to start.
3:15 pm
hello my name is neil and. what. we need to be ashamed about a missing one the two things what have i done 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 our 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 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
3:16 pm
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. and here now are some names that perhaps you might be surprised to see on the useful idiots list for example senator john mccain who's a very vocal critic of rush and he is grouped among politicians who have been on our t.v. film director rob reiner he makes an appearance he's actually dour part of an organization that is called the committee to investigate rush or other politicians on the list include the former presidential candidate bernie sanders as well as the
3:17 pm
current u.s. president donald trump even former first lady michelle obama gets a mention now the report clearly states that all of these people appeared on the show that said was called politicking with larry david i wish the problem is that the famous american comedian has a fortune we never had a show here on r.t. politicking has always of course been hosted by the veteran journalist larry king and i wasn't the only mistake the think tank says it took guess things from show descriptions from our website apparently this is led to quite a lot of confusion for example boris johnson it's claimed he was on artie's news thing comedy show was this did you decide. so that's always someone with their finger right. to national affairs. johnson boris welcome. are we going to get a chance to fight the spanish before america and russia kill us all. this all.
3:18 pm
proportion we have i mean marshawn british former intelligence officer a 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 here i do professionally too because i get reinvited back to all of those too and it's only when i appear in 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 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
3:19 pm
alternative perspective that people need to hear. well let's go back to our top story this hour cattle and president cause you saw him early has just announced that he will call a session of the regional parliament in order to discuss the actions of the spanish government on saturday prime minister roy asked the senate to depose him on as well as other top catalog officials let's go live to boston where our correspondent at the. medina to take us through then what exactly happened there and how the people who gathered have reacted. well many people that gathered here in the center of. barcelona called the advance of the saturday what happened here in the country and especially in the region of cats a lot many people call it defacto down and a blow to democracy now we've just listened to the address that was made by the council and leader and he said that magic steps on cats along our worst attack
3:20 pm
since dictatorship of francisco franco he also asked the council and parliament to gather and discuss the measures that were that were offered and proposed today by the spanish government those measures that as he called were at temps to abolish the the democracy here in the region now he also called for the european union to intervene in the situation now many people that are gathered here at the square they were listening to the address that was made by the consulate leader and they welcomed it's with applause and they were shouting slogans including leave it at that which means freedom so for them it was a quite a big address quite a big decision that was made to now we've heard other reactions coming from different council and the government officials including the had of the council and parliament that had housed announcement treats decision to invoke article one fifty
3:21 pm
five and dismiss the local government now madrid's decision provoked a wave of outrage and outrage and we've seen hundreds tens of thousands of people here in the streets so far salon and now protesting in marching and we managed to talk to some of them and we really we received a mixed reaction on to the events of this past week and especially this saturday. triggering article one hundred fifty five is a reasonable while in the council on people if madrid wants to change the whole council on governments they can go ahead. that i would 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. prime minister
3:22 pm
spanish prime minister. said that madrid as not revoking catalonian autonomy but merely dismissing and removing the local government that led to this crisis now prime minister also called for snap elections to take place within the next six months but all these measures the article one fifty five one of the conditions is that the majority of the spanish than it has to approve all this measures before the going to take f.x. now here and barsel law now we see hundreds of tons of hundred protesters and the streets and now the team over here to express their concerns and their and really to a welcome trast that was made by the council and the leader. of the political difference is quite clearly widening now between the government and the national government bringing us up to date. as we were told the news
3:23 pm
for you know iran has reiterated it is complying with the nuclear deal but donald trump threatening to scrap earlier russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov weighed in on the matter he stressed international security would be threatened if the u.s. ended the agreement the north korean crisis could worsen. it is clear that the failure of the g c p a way iran deal due to 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.
3:24 pm
president announced that he would decertify the deal means that congress now has sixty days in which to decide whether it wants to reimpose sanctions upon around or agree new legislation relating to the accord donald trump said he wants his country out of the nuclear agreement even though it's widely acknowledged the run has not violated the terms we agreed on the fact that iran is in technical compliance of the peer peer deal in the nuclear deal the agreement is delivered in the european technical compliance which technical compliance of all violations of the nuclear arrangement i'm all for agreements but that was a bad one they have not lived up to the spirit of their agreement they are not living up to the spirit of their agreement. well the deal was how would our back in two thousand and fifteen by the so-called p five plus one group consisted of the united kingdom russia united states china france and germany or negotiated with iran in followed nine years of intense talks and it was hailed as
3:25 pm
a major breakthrough the former head of the u.n. nuclear watchdog spoke exclusively to us at r.t. and told us that it's important to preserve the deal the 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 of the syrian chemical weapons and there was also a settlement and there is also now some sort of agreement on the syrian peaceful car outcome 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 gaze that would be very serious a thing for the future authority of the security council i suspect we'll be hearing plenty more from barcelona this evening thanks for staying with us here on r.t. international see at the top of the.
3:26 pm

3:29 pm
talking about that fire to the affordable care act. you and i while we've been gone we received an e-mail from our one provider available in north carolina and they said that the new premium increase that we're going to have is in the mail in the post in the meat space mail they're not going to tell us by email how much more we're going to pay so we have to wait to get back home to find out but they did tell us that. basically it's shrink that our premiums going up but we're going to get less for what we get so our deductible would be seven thousand dollars now on top of so we know that we paid twenty one thousand six hundred in total last year for the premiums so it'll be more than that but we're going to actually have to also play the deductible some one thousand and more co-pays blah blah blah so it's like shrink. the shoddy.
