same that mainstream media has met its make. quantitative easing is a hoax it's a joke it's debt monetization it's a prelude to hyper inflationary currency that is the u.s. dollar collapsing. here's what people have been saying about rejected in knight was to us exactly just pull along awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch at least yampa is the john oliver of party americans do the same we are apparently better than blue the things that i see people you've never heard of love redacted tonight my president of the world bank go to the let me send us an e-mail. so the 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. leaks whistleblower edward snowden. vision could worsen between pro and anti independent police offices in spades catalonia if madrid goes ahead with seizing control of the restive region and a local force. says the u.s. will release classified files into president kennedy's assassination after a fifty year deadline lifting the lid on one of the country's darkest episodes. i am kevin owen first of all of the twenty sixth of october here in moscow eleven am now thanks for tuning to r.t.

international first then saudi arabia allegedly ordered syrian opposition forces to quote light up damascus back in two thousand and thirteen while providing them with tons of weapons for the assault that revelation came from the n.s.a.'s most well known whistleblowers samir khan reports. well according to an n.s.a. document leaked by edward snowden the syrian armed opposition was under the direct command of foreign governments 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. oh . look. sophie 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 aided an armed insurgency that launched massive attacks on civilian civilian infrastructure as well as military targets for the eventual goal of regime change twenty's was a critical point in the war in syria the conflict spread from local areas across the country with foreign powers beginning to support both sides who want then

became a fully fledged civil war and that led to massive believe the military casualties. judge roy 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 we are saudi arabia to come in tell the allegations we've not heard back yet from riyadh when we do we'll let you know. spanish leaders

are about to start two days of deliberations on whether or not to seize direct control of the catalonia region this been a real state of flux this since the controversial independence referendum render and a referendum on the first of october kaplan's palma is threatening to push ahead with secession madrid's been piling on political pressure of his sins whatever happens the choice is proving divisive for catalonia as local police force i shall the dubin ski explains. the easy. when the national gone really well i mean we see the lady friends down already running the bases the local police the most was the squads right he's the school now is the spanish senate is set to. one hundred fifty suspending the beaches full of the most is something. they say it's the loosest.

receive the implementation of atsic one five five as the least desired scenario. we call for all opportunities for dialogue to be used prior to the adoption of this article but if old simply 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 catalonian autonomy its institutions and especially the police taken into account. one of the symbols of cattle our nation needs most especially is going back to the eighteenth century the seventeen thousand strong force is considered to have a big influence here the population of seven point five million people in catalonia now the council and police are undergoing their own test of independence despite state and sickly charity this seems to be

a divide within the ranks at the moment castle and 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 of course we will continue to do our everyday work no matter what happens and we want to cast one place to stay as the police for all catalans. the chief of a most has already been accused of inciting people to a bell against the state's josep in the eastern apparel has become a hero for some and a traitor for others. when

we dread to take so most of us will face a tough choice between central government and the kids a lot of foreigners now one of madrid's first moves will be most likely to remove cattle on authorities the question is will most of us follow orders sean. massillon a. new lie could be shared on one of the twentieth century's darkest episodes later today donald trump's administrations allowing the release of classified documents into president kennedy's assassination as the fifty year congress deadline to keep the information under wraps passes kennedy was killed in dallas in november one thousand nine hundred sixty three he was in an open top car with the first lady when those first shots rang out the killer was lee harvey oswald he was swiftly

arrested but then shot and killed two days later while under police escort historians have long pored over oswald's motive and his past are trained killers been retracing the 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 for years before he was sas unaided president kennedy. most of the places which formed part of extraordinary trip still exist like the ski 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 kremlin and 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 guy 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 and. 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 office walt and that was through the american embassy. ilya patrol. tracing the footsteps of lee harvey oswald and moscow. next today hillary clinton's election team in

the democratic national committee reportedly held bankroll the now infamous donald trump has been revealed the document was published may recall back in january and outlined unsubstantiated links and deals between moscow in the trump company and in the run up to last year's presidential election here's how the president reacted to this latest news. it's very sad what they've done with the state dot ca it was made up and 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 a very it's a very sad it's a very sad commentary on politics that this guy the research on donald trump was initially funded by an unnamed republican and was then picked up by a law firm representing hillary clinton's camp and the democrats it continued into late october twenty sixth just days before the election the firm behind the dossier fusion g.p.s.

hired a former british spy to dig up dirt on trump however the company refused to testify in congress on the matter watching the hawks discuss the revelations in detail without see america host ed schultz. why is the d.n.c. funding you know this coming to light the d.m.c. funding of the steel report such an important piece of this ongoing puzzle because they were trying to create the perception in the minds of the american public that russia was behind all of it and that russia was the bad guy turns out the d.n.c. was fun to get the clinton campaign was fun to get if a republican as it's been reported did start this out this investigation out well obviously there was competition over there seventeen people but when you get to the point of a campaign works down to two people it's party versus party ideology versus ideology and you involve a foreign country and make the american people think that they're really the people behind all this i just think that scurrilous it's really underhanded and the one thing about this that was so strange i just basically looking at it is that it

wasn't a normal intelligence report there was no back up the thing you were talking about half of the step was then clarified i'm in love look at the person at the heart of all this hillary clinton you know where does this leave hillary clinton and her credibility because i mean she referenced them use the steel dossier in her book what happened writing the f.b.i. also began investigating a dossier prepared by a well respected former british spy that contained explosive and salacious allegations about compromising information the russians had on trial now i would say leaving out the fact that you were by announcing this apparent well respected former british writer in his research that's a pretty big gap to leave and you can't tell me it's that it's shares that he doesn't know is that these former candidate skinhead is what it is when they're writing blogs if it fits good just go ahead and do with it and here's the other cardinal sin in my opinion the networks took this hook line and sinker and ran with it as gospel as well and their managers allowed them to do that as well without

fact check a good exactly what this was all about well he's former british intelligence it must be true so you tell me that six million dollars went out the door to pay for this quote. research and this was all ginned up which a lot of it isn't true some of it may be but certainly it started journalistically based let's cut to the chase or what we do know that russia did not have the dossier on donald trump. meantime fact checking is the bedrock of any good news outlet of course and c.n.n. is currently touting its credentials with a new promo miguel francis and the argos got a few examples of when that american news channels how did say rather off the ball . 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 been in one 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. to be good 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 which are courting the sources an anonymous high ranking source

according to this source who spoke on the condition of anonymity by the way this facts first promotion by the c.n.n. got quite a wave of hilarious reactions. we might scream. over and over and over again this. is an. i i personally think that it is just a little solid not exactly sure what or who they're talking about they might scream news new news you might even start to believe that this is a real news network but it's not this is c.n.n. perhaps this sort of journalism can be just lemond out with a little bit of yellow but you'll francis and ya go r.t. . coming out washington in pakistan to eliminate all groups in the country after claiming it's a safe haven for terrorists look about story more often break. what's

happening with a. very close to a genocide and it's unforgiving and it should be immediately rectified and remedied where i think her she stands at the moment is that if she would to condemn it she would be immediately she would be put on a plane and the hopes that people have placed in would be. dropping bombs britain's police. could use talks for the tell you the celebrity gossip the tabloid but it's also important. to tell you on the cool enough to fight.

the hawks that we. will watch. u.s. secretary of states called on pakistan to wipe out the terror groups undermining political stability in that country too many terrorist organizations that find a safe place in pakistan for which to conduct their operations attacks against other countries we have extended a pocket shortly expectations we have of their government and their leadership to deal with in particular these organizations the leaders of these organizations the day before rex tillerson gave that statement america's top diplomat didn't receive the warmest of welcomes the military airport in pakistan relations between the two

countries have dipped of late after washington accused islamabad of allegedly providing safe havens for taliban militants sophie shevardnadze meets with a retired three star pakistani general dirani to discuss u.s. pakistan relations you can watch the full interview on this channel friday stumbling point with americans and pakistan this is taliban so why do you think why does it so hard to kick them out from pakistan and why should we. they're not against us and there is one element there to fruit remains. one sure the americans would leave americans call someone a terrorist and they go after them it has oversight consequences for instance american drone strikes on your soil they have been targeting some people who did not like or just to give a message to us but. there was

a stage when we decided enough is enough you've done enough of this. so. for seven months. this sort of marks one hundred years since the october revolution in russia turned twentieth century politics on its head and he's got a unique project to help you learn more about those momentous events with virtual reality videos recreating what it was like at the birth of the soviet union. will. any.

of them. really brings it to life doesn't it will those new videos go live in a few hours at r.t. dot com slash three sixty there are the others the ready waiting for you know for it check it out you can add a real time revolution to your twitter stream too with hash tag nine hundred seventeen live lenin's got a feed and other key figures are there as well arty's that to break in the revolutionary news badged is russian telegraph nine hundred seventeen lives in the open project anyone can join that's good news brazilian novelist paulo coelho for instance has been writing a timeline of the first last days of the first world war spy matter what was going through her head in the months before her execution it was something you'd like to be involved in we'd love to hear from you so do get writing.

history today talking about she can keep up to date with all the news happening smushed right now. the next live news update from me kevin i would thirty minutes. guys are fine it was like. let's take it easy this is a central plank support diet the limits of the club the right stuff. how does it feel to be a share of the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job there is one business model helps to run a prison now we just do or don't like a video visitation i don't know what comes even more we don't want to sarge and

many more cost effective that's what they want to. know and they don't give a damn if you did not pay enough to put it back in. the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the u.s.n. breach what she could is behind such success.

plant welcome to worlds apart an old latin adage goes that if you want peace prepare for war countering or deterring aggression through the use of force is part of the most basic human instinct the one that when indulged righteously often leads to barbaric waste of humanity what would it take for the world to adopt the prepare for peace rather than prepare for war attitude to discuss that i'm now joined by still at work fix this advocate and founder of the oxford research group it's great to talk to you thank you very much for your time to well you've been an advocate for nonviolence for many decades you side the examples of mahatma gandhi nelson mandela and unsung city as people who personally inspired you and they all strike

me as heroes of the twentieth century i wonder if their life stories as inspiring as they are still valid today when the nature of conflict and the nature of politics have changed so dramatically i agree with you that the nature of conflict has changed dramatically but if you take the qualities of somebody like mandela they're enduring and i can give you a very clear example of that i think it was the second time that i met monella and he started speaking to remove about sixty people and he's not an orator he has a raw speed voice but as he started speaking i got shivers on my skin thirty minutes later i still had what we call an english goose bumps and i asked myself why what is this and eventually i figured out it was the sheer. energy of his integrity and i received that bodily so this was clearly a man that you couldn't push around and who would not back down on what he believed

but all of that were standing up to institutional violence an individual against the process machinery of the state which still happens today but i think the most cruel forms of violence these day. are associated with non-state actors who not only rely on violence for practical purposes they faddish eyes it do you really think that the approach of mahatma gandhi could be a fact of with groups like the islamic state i believe that any group one can talk to it's a question of finding the right moment in their campaigns and finding the right people to do that because what matters is the approach of the individuals will the group who are conducting that dialogue what i'm telling you is that when you want to open a dialogue rather than.
