but ima putin says the united states is attacking free speech by forcing r.t. to register as a foreign agent adding a tit for tat response from russia is on the table. powerplay in the middle east intensifies to saudi arabia yemen's defense ministry while also being accused of declaring war on lebanon. these are live pictures coming from barcelona this is where thousands of people are protesting on catalonia as national day they're demanding the release of the jailed former leader of the region continues political crisis. cia whistleblower john kiriakou was removed from an e.u. parliament panel at the very last moment simply for co-hosting a radio show on russian media outlets but. they
12:01 pm
feel like they can't even risk even. with the russians or with anything russian. getting this is our international. attacks on r.t. in the u.s. equal to attacks on free speech that's according to president vladimir putin he was answering reporters' questions on the final day of the apec summit in vietnam. decrypted you lose. those who are doing this in the us have always been proud of being the world's number one democrats and freedom of speech has always been the main value it hits who buy them there's no democracy without freedom of speech and
12:02 pm
it's not going our media in the us is making a mistake an attack on freedom of speech itself mr putin also promised that the russian government will come up with appropriate retaliation such retaliation may affect american or american funded media that are operating in russia this is a reaction to a very recent decision by the us department of justice to set a deadline for our team america our u.s. brands to register as a foreign agent and we were forced to obey because otherwise we would have been in trouble with the u.s. law but in any case as a foreign agent r.t. america will now face and norma's challenges and difficulties something our editor in chief called unbearable conditions for a media organization aimed at destroying r.t. this brings us to why we're seeing all this hostility against russian media in the u.s. that's because of accusations of russian meddling and the us presidential race according
12:03 pm
to american journalists that are traveling with donald trump on his plane mr trump did bring this issue up during his few chats with a lot of our putin at the apec summit and here's a quote from donald trump that they shared every time he sees me he says i didn't do that and i really believe that when he tells me that he means it i think he's very insulted by it going back to vladimir putin's press conference here's how he addressed the many russia related investigations inquiries hearings that are simply nonstop in america. think that everything regarding the russian dossier in the us has to do with only going internal political standoff it's simply part of the desire to use anything in the fight against the current president despite this internal political standoff in the us vladimir putin said as he did many times
12:04 pm
before that moscow is ready to turn the page and look into the future for the benefit of both the russians and americans. despite the poor state of relations between moscow and the west at the moment the second day of the apec summit did see some positive moments for example the russian and american presidents released a joint statement on the situation in syria and they both confirm their determination to defeat i still in syria while insisting that syria is a sovereign country the president also agreed that there can be no military solution to the conflict or adding the final political settlement should be found through the geneva negotiations format but he says that resolving the crisis will prove hard especially fresh and the u.s. remain at odds what they're talking about is getting closer together and we're going on diplomatic solutions to problems not just in the middle east book around
12:05 pm
the world the fact is if we have an america bearing each other that does nobody any good if all of the sides involved understand that america and russia and the rest of the countries from the west are actually on the same side here eventually there has to be a rapprochement and they have to understand that they will have to work together it's not going to be easy because these things never are particularly in the middle east course it will have to happen and it's a good sign and america and russia have control on the standing on this. much anticipated formal meeting between the two presidents never transpired yet the pair did bump into each other more than once.
12:06 pm
12:07 pm
a week ago. right after last saturday's strike saudi arabia blamed around for its aim to run supports the fighters later a senior u.s. air force official said the ballistic missile was made in iran iran denies those accusations. when i read markings arsonists. that's been demonstrated and there are pictures that depict that to me that connects the dots to iran in terms of who supply. missiles and their capability from i am going to end their oil which we do not even have the ability to transfer missiles to yemen it's the missiles and they've managed to increase the missiles range. you're an analyst and
12:08 pm
director of the international center for human rights. there believes that yemen proves civilians are paying a high price for the game saudi arabia and iran a playing in the middle east both contraries are trying to be the king of the middle is iran and saudi arabia and this with saudi arabia has. been someone already declared that iran is impossible so i can't predict that they will come up with there is a lucian but that's the best strategy for civilians in yemen and even in the in the area. as mentioned a contributor in the two regional superpowers it escalating not just in yemen lebanon is also now caught up in the rivalry a while dish and it's obvious that saudi arabia has declared war on the entire nation of lebanon not just below in lebanon.
12:09 pm
the leader of hezbollah actually went on to claim that the lebanese prime minister is actually being held under house arrest by the saudis calling unprecedented in for intervention in lebanon's internal affairs and that's because lebanon's outgoing prime minister hasn't been seen since last week when he announced his resignation in the saudi capital and what's more surprising is that harare's own party back in lebanon who is in opposition to has also think the same thing that he was forced to make that resignation speech by saudi arabia and that he's being held there against his will putting the question of his whereabouts aside there's also the focus of his resignation speech that's something that's also very important to note and he specifically ardently attacked iran accusing the country of planting discord and destruction and interfering in arab countries also warning that to hit their hands of influence in the region would be cut off and in the wake of all of that saudi arabia and three of their allies actually urged all of their citizens to
12:10 pm
leave lebanon immediately and that's a very frightening and open ended situation you know why should they leave what's going to happen there and here's where you sort of need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture in the region and that's when you have to look at saudi arabia and iran specifically the two countries have of course been locking horns for years and while there's no direct conflict between them it's always been through proxy wars and lebanon is in fact a prime example of about hariri the prime minister who resigned his living leadership was supported by saudi arabia whereas hezbollah who wields massive power in the country is backed by iran and that leaves lebanon caught up in between those two major powers not only its broader strategy to confront iran because iran definitely does not start with a borderline inside of iran has its own border line they could go and fight their war there if they want to but the fact that. actually the reason where they can get
12:11 pm
out more of their attention against iran but increasing. tension and of war mongering rhetoric against the lebanese government and specifically not only against hezbollah they're actually warning the president they are warning that the foreign minister they are warning the speaker as well that if you do not stop or by other words if you do not abide by what we are tell you a.j. any intervention direct intervention in the pull of its political spectrum then we will start a war to liberate the lebanese people from the grip of hezbollah. yemen has a force been engulfed in their own civil war for two years now and in that case saudi arabia supports the government that was ousted in two thousand and fifteen where iran backs the who's the rebels that are fighting that very government. again same sort of situation they're backing opposing parties saudi arabia is and
12:12 pm
iran is pro assad so it's everywhere in the region and all these proxy wars are sort of coming to a head it's the fear that this could push the region into a potential potentially bigger and more direct confrontation. thousands of take to the streets of catalonia on the region's national day demanding the release of the jailed formally discounted pro depend its movements of call for massive protests in barcelona. perhaps. i. think that the day after the cattle parliament spokesperson was released from prison on bail early madrid arrested eight catalan leaders and issued an arrest
12:13 pm
warrant to the region's sacked leader to manu's fled to brussels on the shore thirty's accuse them of rebellion and sedition catalan declaration of independence was also officially hundred thousand people today. plans to create a sixth branch of the u.s. military special space corps been rejected by lawmakers the proposal had initially been passed by the house of representatives back in july but lawmakers have now decided to exclude it from the final seven hundred billion dollars budget for the upcoming year the bill was amended so that any american military space activities would be controlled by the u.s. air force but the spirit as the of reports air force commanders love the idea. little did you know this week may well go down in history the pentagon's announced it's weaponize ng space job one for an air force in an era component is to gain and maintain air superiority freedom from attack and freedom to maneuver unlike space
12:14 pm
superiority it's not an american birthrate yet or resources planned for the fight for it and when it the hints were all there almost a decade ago one hundred and seventy eight countries voted on the u.n. resolution to prevent a space arms race only two countries abstained the u.s. and israel washington also blocked a joint russian chinese effort to ban all weapons in space after all who is to say what is a weapon any object orbiting or transiting through space can be a weapon if that object is intentionally placed onto a collision course with another space object this makes treaty verification impossible yet they keep saying that everything that you do has a peaceful purpose take the x s one spacecraft.
12:15 pm
a jet that could put satellites into orbit on the cheap probably means if you can take a satellite into orbit it can also take our hostile satellites and stop them there . last year the u.s. put several mysterious satellites into orbit not your usual kind of ones that watch earth know these apparently monitor other spacecraft friendly neighborhood watch. the u.s. is not seeking to weaponize space our goal is to work with all responsible spacefaring nations to ensure a safe secure and stable space environment the u.s. air force is x. thirty seven b. which has spent almost two years orbiting the earth its purpose is classified
12:16 pm
information is classified its budget is classified. then you've got the various kinetic bombardment and global strike projects that the pentagon is reportedly pursuing they'll probably say that those a peaceful to sue peaceful in the pentagon's space budget was doubled last year from five to ten billion and next year it's going up this year's budget increases the white eighteen budget proposal increases what the air force is is proposing to spend on space by twenty percent and we're shifting to space as a war fighting to me just think of the message these sends ready set arms race. after the break we'll tell you how a famous whistleblower was bumped from an e.u.
12:17 pm
panel at the last minute all because of his media links to russia. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you were yourself and taken your last wrong turn. to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each day. but then my feelings started to change you talked about more like it was again still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters my mind gets consumed with this one to. speak to
12:18 pm
us there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its make. a comeback prominent whistle blower asked to speak at the e.u. parliament found his invitation counselled at the last minute to his links to russian media john kiriakou co-hosts a radio program on the russian media outlet sputnik and then she walked away and one of the aides headed me and updated schedule and my name was was not associated with the first panel that's politics in america right now isn't it where where everybody blames the. sions the russians the bad guys for absolutely everything and
12:19 pm
and they feel like they can't even risk even a tangential association with the russians or with anything russian for fear of being branded by their political opponents it's ridiculous it smacks of the one nine hundred fifty s. to tell you the truth i wish that i had better understood what was happening as it was happening but like i said a moment ago i thought it was a joke in the beginning and before i could even process what was going on to have jacked the decision had been made to remove me and it wasn't until i was doing the television interview that i finally said to the m.e.p. wait a minute did i get thrown off that panel and he said well we didn't want to make a problem with the other guests and then i thought wow ok well american politics rears its ugly head even in brussels. from a nurse in germany could turn out to be the country's worst post-war serial killer recent toxicology tests reveal more than one hundred of his patients have been
12:20 pm
poisoned peter out of one has the story. bills h. drugged patients in his care over a six year period in the hope of being able to bring them back and being seen as some kind of reviving angel he was arrested in two thousand and five and jailed in two thousand and eight on charges of attempted murder the main motivation behind this was so that mills h. could step in and save the day bringing people back from the coast of death but he's also admitted in a cop twist that he also did this for kicks there was tension there and in expectation of what happened next it took a while before the true scale of his crimes became evident following the widespread media attention his incarceration gathered one woman became suspicious that her mother may have actually been one of his victims a further investigation led to neil's age confessing to having killed thirty by
12:21 pm
lethal injection that saw his initial seven year sentence increase to life in twenty fifteen police admitted that major mistakes were made if the clues had been duly investigated or to time even in golden horse hospital then the deaths of many patients in our opinion could have been prevented by august of this year the forty year old was implicated in one thousand murders making him one of more than germany's worst serial killers trying to get to the bottom of just how many he may have murdered investigators have so far examined one hundred thirty four bodies and currently toxicological tests are being carried out in five separate cases to look for the drugs that were favored by mills h. we also understand that further bodies are to be exuberant as far afield as poland and turkey to admit that they may never know the true number of people he murdered

12:23 pm
make the case in the world. that this appeal really has to be really. have to international community strongly behind the fuel implementation to deal. i think we have developed a very bad habit during the early one nine hundred ninety s. when we emerged as they say the sole remaining superpower and we were in a position where pretty much everybody did whatever we told them to do i think that those habits die hard that people get into the habit of thinking we can tell you to do this we can tell you to do that but they'd think we'd go with it we don't think that they know to us that we're not as strong as we were say twenty years ago relative to other powers. and finally for this hour here live pictures coming from the polish cup of the war so this is where thousands of far right activists have
