apparently better than. ever heard of. the world bank. president says that he will. see the region's power. million protesters take to the streets of barcelona and a show of defiance. earlier on saturday prime minister and the senate to dismiss catalonia made or thirteen. new regional elections. now the news a european think tank has published a list of thousands of guests including president from calling them. controversial report channels. human rights organizations war deaths

could rise in refugee camps this winter after cold weather and a lack of medical help kills a year old girl. thanks for joining us this is r.t. international. the spanish prime minister is asked the senate to depose the president as well as other top regional officials in response. that he rejects madrid's efforts to take back power if you repeal. are at risk. they will also be at risk in europe. democratically deciding the future of our nation is

not a crime we believe in a democratic and peaceful europe. the europe of the sharper of fundamental rights but to protect each and every one of us he said that magic steps on cats along our worst attack 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 or at temps to abolish the democracy here in the region now he also called for the european union to intervene and the situation now many people that gathered here at the square they were listening to the address that was made by the consulate leader and they welcomed with applause and they were shouting slogans including the bit of that which means freedom so for them it was a quite

a big address quite a big decision that was made now we've heard other reactions coming from different now catalan government officials including the had of the council and parliament that had housed announcement treats decision to invoke article one fifty 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 of barcelona 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 unreasonable while in the council on people if madrid wants to change the whole council on 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're not aggressive they are aggressive independence was declared in the very messy way so i'm not surprised by what's happening here and a bar salon now we see hundreds of tons of hundreds of protestors and the streets and now came over here to express their concerns and their epiphany and and really up to a welcome the address that was made by the consul and leader. medina mentioned hundreds of thousands of people showed up on the streets of barcelona they were calling for the release of two key members of the independence movement who were recently arrested earlier on saturday the spanish prime minister announced madrid was triggering article one fifty five of the constitution the government's also asked the senate to remove key figures from the catalogue and to transfer their responsibilities on to ministers where other royal expressed his desire for

a snap election in the region at the earliest opportunity we spoke to. an economics professor barcelona university the independent this movement is a very very peaceful movement and he has never shown any sign of violence so i don't expect that type of violence the only violence here comes from the spanish city. well the practice that was organized today was practiced it was to protest against. the fact that people didn't change their leaders off to see the society are going to easy search out of the center of these sanctions now of course. these demonstrations. how it has been given more fool by the decision taken by that means to response spanish ministers can see this morning so yeah people are angry but people in catalonia are peaceful people they are not going to

use violence at all that they can ensure you are. a think tank called european values has released a damning report about this channel and it's criticized more than two thousand people who appeared as guests at the institute gets its funding from the us and other western governments has branded the guests useful idiots discuss the report with artie's and us to see a chicken. 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 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 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 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 do we need to be ashamed about missing when the two things one of us. 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 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 archie's 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. now here are some of the names you might be surprised to see on that useful idiots list senator john mccain a vocal critic of russia's groups among politicians who have appeared on r.t. from director rob reiner he makes an appearance he's actually now part of an organization calling itself the committee to investigate russia are the politicians

on the list include former presidential candidate bernie sanders as well as the current president donald trump even former first lady michelle obama she gets a mention now the report clearly states that all of these people appeared on a show called they called it politicking with larry david and that would be pretty pretty good the problem is that the famous american comedian has never had to show such a shame on our team politicking it's always been hosted in fact by the veteran journalist larry king big mistake and not the only one the think tank says it took guess things from a show descriptions from a website seems to have left him pretty confused for example boris johnson they claim was on artie's news thing comedy show i ask you was this him. it's always someone with their finger on the right side of international affairs exploring johnson boris welcome. are we going to get

a chance to fight the spanish before america and russia killer so. it is all. a british former intelligence officer and a frequent guest on r.t. what she thinks of 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 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 threats 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 their guests a saying and yet i still appear on many other t.v. channels so perhaps what i'm saying is not being putin's useful idiots perhaps it's just an alternative perspective that people need to hear. if you think that this has a sense of history repeating itself well seventy years ago so the start of america's so-called anti soviet or anti russian which aren't. chairman j. parnell thomas of new jersey all funds that inquiry into possible communist penetration of the hollywood film industry the committee is seeking to determine if red party members have reached the screen with the first hip hop again.

but it was a simple believe in the cover of the jackal. which is always the thrill of anyone who dares to expose individuals come in the same time get off the validity of our look at death it's a different empire max and not we are indifferent to what a lot of our partners are paying for a great t.v.

man in europe plotting what i do and see. if a person defend the activities of communist nations while consistently attacking the domestic and foreign policy of the united states she may be a communist i will say if they object they are now carrying out the sire's of the ambitions of that. i think. a bloodless coup engineered by russia with past the traitorous indifference of the republican party and donald trump and the military apparatus of this country is about to head over to scum for beholden to scar russia to start. human rights organizations warn that deaths could rise in greek refugee camps this winter i'll explain all after this short break.

in case you're new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around currency corporations run washington the washington post media the media the voters elected a businessman to run this country business equals power who must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out these days to come out ahead and engagement because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

counties underway in the czech republic where this weekend's general election will decide the next leader votes counted in most areas now and the anti establishment and movement has almost a third of the ballots that exceeds expectation of the party a euro skeptic billionaire who's previously been the finance minister and the deputy pm had been gaining popularity prior to the vote. the group system which 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 guarantor for greek banks. let's face it they're not in their formal economy governance. some of our political approach is just the real world. right across the european union and euro skeptic parties a recently been gaining support in france when the pan leader of the national front party was the main rival to the elected president eventually emmanuel makram in germany the f.t. not only entered parliament for the very first time but also became the third largest party in the start meanwhile the freedom party in austria also finished in

elections there for czech foreign minister cyril's for border believes that europe's only got itself. in europe are all free. the euro skeptic forces on the scene saw particularly in germany of course in austria this is a massive victory of the euro skeptic forces and maybe in the czech republic misses that and he's moved under more belongs. to do cool off party is who are. caught by us with you all or who. does. which some called the vet is strong send european. human rights activists and n.g.o.s are urging the greek orthorexic to improve

conditions at their refugee camps as winter approaches there's growing concern asylum seekers are not equipped to cope with the freezing temperatures expected last week a five year old girl died from the cold and the lack of medical support that was at the refugee camp on the island of laos boss just hours prior to her death parents were reportedly refused extra blankets like other refugee camps in greece is notorious for its conditions more than fifteen hundred people including children and pregnant women are living there many of them doing so without any source of heating in winter the temperatures can drop below zero as a result dozens of refugees have actually died there in the last few years the place to give more than a billion euros to greece by twenty twenty that's their help it cope with the migrant crisis or than a million refugees have reached the country which is the main entry point into europe since twenty fifteen but as the influx is threatening to overstretch greek

resources the response has been questioned. economic 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 or build proper camps the official accounts of the you has a whole have not been signed off by the court awarded to the accounting body for the last twenty three years we know that he has very little idea how its money is spent and that's always been true disputed before the crisis and during the crisis the e.u. doesn't know how to manage its money. a lot of the money because into a bloated bureaucracy and the governments of greece and italy i'm afraid. for the. put it. minnesota deficiency or credibility.

barack obama and george w. bush have long had furious disagreements on key policies now that they finally seem to found a common target the current us president. george bush is watching that what the banks and financial institutions are one of the first went after the obama administration's handling of both iran and isis some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the radicals get used to me and other democrats of wanting to negotiate with terrorists i don't think it's good for the country to have. undermined. the she actually has the story needed isn't. right now about what they think. it should be instead of our politics reflecting our values politic. in fact to our

community. there are some signs that the intensity of support for the person is still for the way because of the micro says the state american security and prosperity were directly to the success of freedom in the world the world council of america having its act together at times it can seem like the forces pulling are supporters stronger take this seriously than the forces binding us together but what we can have is the same old politics of the mission. is to defend the sort of international friendship and has brought together thousands of young people from around the world now though the will festival of youth and students has come to a close was that the closing ceremony are here and both. here in sochi the stadium

was built for the olympic village as it was the young people that are here for the closing ceremonies of the world press to mila kunis the students that there has just been an atmosphere of friendship there's been this feeling of bonding so many young people from so many parts of the world over one hundred fifty countries represented well over twenty thousand young people here all of them just committed to celebration mystere of love and kindness let's remember it was sixty years ago back in one thousand nine hundred fifty seven that the first world festival of using students to be held in russia was convened in moscow how people in russia remember it is kind of a turning point in their lives the first time they met people from such diverse parts of the world we were able to speak to canadian professor and sixty years ago as a young canadian he was able to actually visit moscow in one thousand fifty seven.

my neighbor has mellowed. i'm. eighty three years old and i was of participants in the festival in moscow in one thousand nine hundred fifty seven i remember the. fireworks display. of us life at that time visiting another planet. as a different era and i remember going through the streets of packed with people greeting us trucks who were young and were having a great time. this quote for example is taken. during our reception in the streets for a packed with people gives you an idea of the welcoming we got

a group of us canadians as we arrived at bosco. that's me. at that time with the famous the moscow landmarks. i was thrilled to have that invitation but i said could i bring my granddaughter also yes so she said intergenerational possibilities we've got here. since new year's eve through the use. of the. great story hope you enjoyed that i'll be back with the latest news headlines see you at the top of the hour. a plate for many years so i know the guy even saw

a guy. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money kill the narrowness and spending to do the twenty million and one player. who it's an experience like nothing else want to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so one more chance with. a nice minute. here's what people have been saying about redacted and i suspect it's full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to find you know a lot of the really packed a punch. yam is the john oliver of hearty americans do the same we are apparently better than blue things but i see people you have never heard of love went back to the night my president of the world bank paid the many seriously who sent us an

e-mail. but she. could see out of the blue jacket. which pulls up on the next end of the phone which.
