here's what people have been saying about redacted in the night with us actually just pull on. the only show i go out of my way to you know what it is that really packs a punch at least yampa is the john oliver of hearty americans do the same we are apparently better than blue. i see people you've never heard of love redacted the night president of the world bank so take. me seriously send us an e-mail. in the headlines this morning saudi arabia allegedly ordered rebels to attack damascus early on in the syrian civil war supporting them with weapons according to the latest shocking n.s.a. leaker whistleblower edward snowden. the vision could worsen between pro and anti

independence police officers in spain's catalonia if madrid goes ahead with seizing control of the rest of region and the local police force. plus the u.s. will release classified files later today into president kennedy's assassination after a fifty year deadline passes lifting the lid that may be on one of the country's darkest episodes. by good morning ten am here in moscow this thursday morning the twenty sixth of october i'm kevin oh and thanks for tuning to us here at r t h q this morning first saudi arabia allegedly ordered syrian opposition forces to quote light up damascus back in twenty thirteen while providing them with tons of weapons for that assault the revelation came from the n.s.a.'s most well known whistleblower samir khan

explains next. well according to an n.s.a. document leaked by edward snowden the syrian armed opposition was under the direct command of foreign governments are the document reveals that the damascus attacks on march eighteenth two thousand and thirteen were directly ordered by a saudi prince been sold on who reportedly provided provided one hundred twenty tons of explosives and other weaponry to anti assad forces under the free syrian army umbrella also giving them instructions to quote light up damascus and quote flatten the airport of the memo also says that u.s. intelligence had a prior knowledge of the attack three days before hand to be precise and not only that but the report states that the saudi government was quote very pleased with the outcome but it should also be noted that these attacks resulted in heavy clashes between the two sides let's take a look. at. oh

. look. it's so i. know we haven't been able to independently verify these documents but if proven true the top secret intelligence memo will confirm that saudi arabia you did an armed insurgency that launched massive attacks on civilian civilian infrastructure as well as military targets for the eventual goal of regime change. twenty thirteen was a critical point in the war in syria and called for it to spread from local areas across the country with foreign powers beginning to support both sides in what became a fully fledged civil war and that led to massive in the military casualties former cia officer jack rice believes the international players change the balance of power. the problem is when you start seeing proxy wars when you start seeing riyadh

step into this and you see others step into this what happens is it will take one small group one schism in that entire revolution if you will and fund it dramatically which gives them enormous power frequently over everybody else because remember in the middle of a civil war like this yes there was a turnover of some weapons from the damascus army but those are relatively small when you look at it in the big picture it's when you see outside forces come in and dump in this case i quote tons of weapons into the region it changes and it really flips everything on its head and it makes it that much worse and that's exactly what happened in this case you know we have a saudi arabia for comment on the allegations if they do get back to us will tell you what they say from riyadh. next spanish leaders are about to start two days of deliberations on whether to seize control of the council on the region there's been a state of flux the big since the controversial independence referendum on october

the catalans parliament is threatening no to push ahead with secession still a driggs been piling on political pressure ever since for it not to happen whatever the choice is proving divisive for catalonia as local police force they've got a call in the middle of this shot to do bad ski explains. was i was i was when the national guard deployed by me we see that's a lady at a friend's down already ready to go to is the local police the most o.c. squad to refuse a call now is the spanish senate is set to was fifty five suspending the reach i was going to meet with mrs isabelle to come and see the tree was they say it's the worst was that we see the implementation of article one five five

as the list desired scenario we call for all opportunities for dialogue to be used prior to their adoption of this article but if i told some really it turns out to be impossible because of political failures clashes within the institutions and overall crisis we ask for this article to be adopted at least with the council on the autonomy its institutions and especially the police taken into account. one of the symbols of catalyzing nationhood most especially is going back to the eighteenth century the seventeen thousand strong force is considered to have a big influence here to the population of seven point five million people in catalonia now the council and police are going to going to that only in times of independence despite its mission statements simply trilogies this seems to be a divide within the ranks i got that at the moment castle in society is deeply divided and that's a fact that would be hypocritical to deny the same division can be seen inside the

police but first of all we want to say that we remain calm and of course we will continue to do our everyday work no matter what happens and we want to cost one place to stay as the police for all catalans. the chief of a most us has already been accused of inciting people to a bell. against the state just stepped in the easter paddle has become a theory some and a traitor from others. when

we treat it takes most of us will face it tough choice between central government and its allies cause now one of the treats first moves will be most likely to a battle an authority the question is will most of us follow orders solid even. hostile and. could be a big day today for a new light being shed on to one of the twentieth centuries darkest episodes donald trump's administration is allowing the release of classified documents into president kennedy's assassination as the fifty year old congress deadline to keep the information under wraps passes today kennedy was killed in dallas back in november one nine hundred sixty three he was. on top of an open top car with the first lady at the time when those shots rang out we all remember those pictures the killer was lee harvey oswald he was swiftly arrested then but was shot and killed

two days later while under police escort historians have long poured overalls was motive for his past. has been retracing one particularly significant chapter in the notorious killers life on the other side of the atlantic. where might you find the most drama and lee harvey oswald's life story before the events of november nineteenth sixty three well it could be his short but eventful stay in this city four years before he is president kennedy. most of the places which form part of extraordinary trip still exist like the. railway station where he arrived from helsinki in finland his last stop in a western country before reaching the u.s.s.r.

. stayed right here at the hotel berlin which is now the savoy it's just a few minutes walk from. the former k.g.b. headquarters. his visa meant that he only had six days to get a soviet citizenship so he wasted no time in trying to secure his hammer and sickle passport which began with this letter i believe harvey oswald requested that i be granted citizenship in the soviet union i want citizenship because i am a communist and a worker i have lived in a decadent capitalist society where the workers are slaves i do not want to return to any country outside of the soviet union there was interview after interview with the k.g.b. but couldn't convince officials he should be allowed that passport then back inside

hotel berlin his russian guide in reality a supervisor that is assigned to every foreign visitor. inside the bag. inside one of these rooms he slashed his wrist. attempting to commit suicide doctors managed to save oswald's life he was allowed to stay and wait for mercy from a higher soviet authority with this confidence boost to the extreme asked american diplomats to revoke his citizenship then he agreed to an interview with one u.s. journalist i would say he was extremely superficial. very immature. and very misinformed. it took the former u.s. marine an enormous effort more than two months to get a soviet passport only for one year the day after he got hold of the document he

set off for minsk and bell reuss the capital of one of the u.s.s.r. small republics to work on a soviet factory he boarded his train ride on this station and minsk oswald met his first soviet lover but she turned down his marriage proposal because she was afraid to marry an american and just two months later he met a nineteen year old marine a person his future wife and mother of his first child yet with a drab job and nothing to do outside of work according to oswald himself he would soon make the decision to leave the u.s.s.r. for good along with his family. after what seemed to be disillusionment with the u.s.s.r. there was only one way home for a lost war and that was through the american embassy. ilya for trying tracing the footsteps of lee harvey oswald and moscow.

hillary clinton's election team and the democratic national committee reportedly helped bankroll the now infamous donald trump the document was published back in january and outlined unsubstantiated links and deals between moscow and the trauma campaign in the run up to last year's presidential election here's how the u.s. president's reacted them to the latest news about it. very sad what they've done with this fake it was made up. i understand they paid a tremendous amount of money and hillary clinton always denied it the democrats always denied it i think it's a disgrace it's just really it's a very sad it's a very sad commentary on politics that is this is donald trump and he is responding to media reports that seem to show according to sources that this dossier was paid for by the clinton campaign and by the democratic national committee now folks will remember the infamous da ca it made unverified and rather salacious claims about

donald trump is and his associates and attempted to link donald trump and his campaign to russia the dossier the dasi a bit controversial document it alleges overt knowing collusion wild unconfirmed accusations it was a bombshell furthermore it was possibly used in the f.b.i. investigation into donald trump and allegations that he colluded possibly with russia in his campaign well donald trump is coming forward and saying that this is just something invented by sour democrats disappointed that they lost to the election and that they want to attack him the whole russian thing is what it's turned out to be this was the democrats coming up with an excuse for losing an election fusion g.p.s. which is a political firm that does opposition research that first began looking for information and we all do remember that the cia was traced back to christopher steele

christopher steele is a former u.k. spy if this report is true it seems to present quite a problem for the democrats because it would seem to show that the democrats had gone out of their way to solicit the work of a former u.k. spy in order to get opposition research on down. trump. the company that produced the dossier or than fusion g.p.s. we had the name just now declined to testify before congress on the matter earlier this month hillary clinton in a campaign manager of so far not commented on the report say that we discussed a bill without a america hosts to ed schultz he thinks the democrats will need to do some serious damage control here i'm disappointed because it's a sad commentary for politics in our country and i also think it's very damaging to the process but this in boulder the president and his credibility because he has said all along he has been a victim of fake news you can't get any more fake than this it was surrogate after

a surrogate that went out on the cable shows in this country for months on end that tried to blame this on russia and accused the russians and the trump campaign colluding to deep six hillary clinton in the election i think this is horribly damaging for the democrats i think the democrats are going to have to distance themselves from hillary clinton and i think hillary clinton has to answer a lot of questions about how and why. fact checking is the bedrock of any good news outlet and c.n.n. is currently touting his credentials with a new promo but miguel francis and the other goes got a few examples of when the american news channels has its other off the ball a bit. c.n.n. put out a promo with a hash tag facts first wow this is an apple. some people might try to tell you that it's a been it even start to believe this is a banana. but it's not. this is an apple.

you see c.n.n. things that you can convince the public that something is a banana when in fact it's really actually just an apple while good going c.n.n. that recipe does seem to work well for you cut the banana into pieces and put it back together to make it look like an apple that's exactly what happened when c.n.n. selectively edited a protester presenting her as someone who was calling for peace after riots in her neighborhood a sister calling for peace. we did when in reality she was simply suggesting to take that violence to a different part of town. another way to cook the banana apple is to exaggerate the banana until it morphs into an apple like when c.n.n. was accused of exaggerating the st mary's medical center's infant mortality rate and was dragged to court for it c.n.n.

was acting recklessly with regard to the accuracy of his reporting with actual malice then you can actually turn a banana into an apple by sprinkling some anonymous sources on top magic remember when c.n.n. stated that congress was investigating the ties between the russian investment fund and trump ally anthony scaramucci right before the now you ration by the way c.n.n. cited just one source an anonymous source of course later they had to retract the article and the journalist responsible resigned and this banana sprinkling with anonymous sources to make it an apple seems to be the most common practice over at c.n.n. these days i mean come on i'm going to get any more anonymous. last week we knew according to sources this is what we're getting from a transition source to c.n.n. or your sources. according to sources an anonymous high ranking source according to this source who spoke on the condition of anonymity by the way this fax first promotion by the c.n.n.

got quite a wave of hilarious reaction. he might scream. over and over and over again this. isn't. it might scream new news news you might even start to believe that this is a real news network. but it's not this is c.n.n. . how does this sort of journalism can be just lemond out with a little bit of yellow you know francis and jago r.t. coming out we hear from the parents of missing. trying to return to the u.k. but the government is refusing to help.

when lawmakers manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the famous merry go round be the one percent. in all middle of the room six. million.
