is our to international coming to you live from the russian capital i'm talking thanks for joining us this hour. massive crowds have turned out to protest in barcelona demanding the release of paddling is jailed former leaders the demonstration was held in catalonia as national day and attracted a whopping seven hundred fifty thousand people. over. the rally was led by relatives of the politicians jailed by madrid for the role they played in the region's independence referendum last month speakers brought out letters some of the politicians wrote from prison earlier the region's declaration of independence was formally an old by madrid local journalists even the. has been

following the protests hundred thousand people today gathered in barcelona to demand their release of political prisoners they came from all over the cut along as in buses they came and transport families friends they were all here to say we don't want this in catalonia we want the political prisoners out one of them fought a kind of and put it that there was actually released yesterday by the spanish cards on bail we are still waiting what's going to happen with the others that we are here to have a free country we stand with them on your key and all of the catalan government are in our hearts through this i went to all of the demonstrations because i long to find clan songs to have a life that we didn't have before i was here to defend defend those currently in prison and to defend democracy and. to find human rights as far as.

they feel the protests was actually quite peaceful and very very emotional people are putting the lights on they were putting the lights from their mobile phones they were singing there was life music so everything was actually very emotional people were crying before or saying we want our president how this moves them all back in catalonia we want he would still as you can as you can see as you could hear the screaming they were holding papers liberty they were holding papers freedom they were saying that they want their children to grow up in democracy. here's a quick recap of what happened in catalonia over the past month or so elect tobar first the region held an independence referendum marred by a violent police crackdown an overwhelming majority voted to break away from spain and independence was declared on october twenty seventh later that day madrid stripped the region of self rule in order to snap elections last week eight former catalan min. sisters were jailed on charges of sedition and rebellion the following

day madrid issued a european arrest warrant for the region's sacks leader on friday and the catalan parliament spokesperson who was released on bail. attacks on our team in the us are equal to attacks on free speech that's according to president vladimir putin he was answering reporters' questions on the last day of the apec summit in vietnam to fifty students to those who are doing this in the u.s. have always been proud of being the world's number one democrats and freedom of speech has always been the main value it here to buy them there's no democracy without freedom of speech and attack on our media in the us is make no 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 u.s. 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 a normas 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 in the us presidential race according 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 from the get go i think that everything regarding the russian dossier in the us has to do with an ongoing internal political standoff it's simply parts 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 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 they both confirmed their determination to defeat iceland syria while insisting that syria is a sovereign country the president also agreed there can be no military solution to the conflict while adding the final political send settlement should be found through geneva negotiations format additionally they affirmed their commitment to syria's unity and said they will not let it be divided into three years of influence russia promised to work with the rand to remove pro iranian forces from some parts of the country british. says cooperation between russia and the us is essential to resolving the crisis both to talking about getting closer together and where it can on diplomatic solutions to problems not just in the middle east but around the world the fact is if we have the medical bearing nuzzi to be to the death does nobody any good if full of the sides involved understand that

a medical and the rest of the countries from the west all are actually on the same side eventually they have 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 that are could see clearly in the middle east it will have to happen and it's a good son that american and russia have come through on the stand. a much anticipated formal meeting between the two presidents never happened yet the pair did bump into each other more than once.

plans to create a six the branch of the u.s. military a special space corps have 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 garcia 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 and an air component is to gain and maintain air superiority freedom from attack and freedom to maneuver unlike space superiority it's not an american birthright yet a resource that plan 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 our jet 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. y. and the spacecraft. 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 a hostile satellite out of orbit who's going to stop them there. last year the us put several mysterious satellites into orbit not your usual kind of ones that watch earth know these apparently monitor other spacecraft

a 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 its mission 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 the space budget was doubled last year

from five to ten billion and next year it's going up this year's budget increases the 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 we're fighting to me just think of the message these sends ready set arms race. gagner and coordinator of the global network against weapons and nuclear power in space things that militarizing outer space is a dangerous trend at the u.s. space command headquarters in colorado springs colorado. outside the building on their headquarters building above the door they have their logo that reads master of space so this idea that the u.s. will be the. one country on the earth that will control space and thus

control the earth below is very provocative very dangerous and very destabilizing over the years russia and china go into the united nations repeatedly and said look let's create a new treaty that bans all weapons in space the u.s. and israel have for years repeatedly blocked the development of a treaty to prevent an arms race and outer space clearly united states has no intention whatsoever in preventing an arms race in space. videos been released of an unexploded rocket reportedly fired by saudi forces laying in the streets of the yemeni capital ahead of the bomb disposal team claims the rocket was likely targeting a police academy in the area it comes just a day after saudi led airstrikes hit the defense ministry there and it's feared there may have been civilian casualties as some of the buildings collapsed this is

how locals describe the events. and then a second rocket hit my house was destroyed i'm just an ordinary person i'm a bus driver i'm not a military commander not an agent of the state why did they do that to me my house didn't hold a single bullet to the fear that i had weapons so i want them to watch this i have nothing this is just a house and i'm going to pull. my head in lac were injured our houses were destroyed this is the result of aggression how how is this in the area are affected by the strike. riyadh has intensified its bombardment of yemen in response to a missile fired towards the saudi capital a week ago by two three rubbles saudi arabia it was quick to blame it on iran's saying tehran supports the who the fighters later a senior u.s. air force official said the ballistic missile had been made in the air and tehran denies the accusations. markings on

a business. that's been demonstrated and architectures that take that to me that connects the dots to iran in terms of who's supplying. missiles and that capability of someone i am going to we do not even have the ability to transfer. the missiles and they've managed to increase the missiles range and iran analyst and director of the international center for human rights are to share as our azadi believes yemen proves civilians are paying a high price for the game saudi arabia and iran are playing in the middle east both contraries are trying to be the kings of the middle there is iran and saudi arabia and saudi are. in saddam on only to declare that iran is impossible so i can't predict that they will come up with a result but that's the best strategy for civilians in yemen and even in the

a drug to 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. jailed in two thousand and eight on charges of attempted murder the main motivation behind this was so that mills age could step in and save the day bringing people back from the coast of death but he's also admitted in a car twist that he also did this for kicks there was tension there and an 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

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 at the time even in golden horse hospital 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 pests are being carried out in five separate cases to look for the drugs that were favored by we also understand that further bodies are to be exuded as far afield as poland and turkey prosecutors say they've linked germany's noxious nurse to one hundred and six cases their first to admit that they may

a million have been forced to leave their homes we spoke to an iraqi m.p. about the huge price of the liberation campaign he assad and a minimum there are many towns line and ruinous on the right bank of the tigris river and then of a governor in some towns where the bodies remain under the rubble while infrastructure there is absolutely destroyed during the mosul operation lots of civilians died had to call the show bombings of the new part of the city there are many children today whose parents and relatives were killed and they are in dire need of orphanages the iraqi government should create special centers for them are over lots of women lost their families there are some who survived i slipped up to date who have been raped by the terrorists their relatives often turn away from them so that they would instead matteis the whole family. washington has been urging iraq to pull shia militias backed by iran out of the country now that they're anti eisel mission is over the u.s. congress is currently considering flopping thank sions on the militias however the

response from baghdad has been harsh and it seems several other countries are also not exactly on the same page as washington. it is for the fighters in iraq for me to go ahead allow the iraqis to regain control is that it bit over to. popular mobilization fighters should be encouraged because it was a hope for the country and the region no party has the right to interfere in iraqi affairs.
