that. is a clue which will be true for the sensible police but those who took you only some thinkable see took a huge risk to. talk with. one woman whose husband died of a crush has been collecting the stories of other widows who have been telling how they deal with the pain of their loss but to timlin us because they saw this documentary for us was a way to deal with the pain that hit us unexpectedly and the title of the

documentary wives isn't random while we were filming we still felt like wives it's very difficult school yourself a widow we saw our husbands off on another where can travel they had several such trips a month they flew a lot and expectedly they didn't come back home and the stories which alone is gathered have been put together in a programme which will be shown on the r.t. documentary channel in an hour's time which can be available online as well as some of what's ahead. on your behalf so critical last i started. fiddling with and that is just liberal council where one of the fairly from the company where there's a serious sort of ellicott or that it's like your bonus talks we sure will end for months at the most the bottom kill subsidy or. but i can see this disappointing

this is. it your sloth what it was the golf course the final blow in the distance what. we did see a chitral. this is two points cause them struggle. and spills but when you. say on the line you're on the last one up. on them is no. impulse when you especially on a course in one of. those but it was bush announcing. that the goal the goal posts only about three minutes always around without the goal i thought i'm sort of going up a shield on bunch of so i didn't jump also if i stay on with dish network only if i'm so about last. time i just was going to go. thank you most often you can see you've just read you what you. want to leave so you. go to the store of dreamy stipulated shock no not yet at the schwarz.

u.s. military bases in the japanese island of okinawa have long been a source of anger to locals not only of the crimes committed by troops but because the significant environmental damage to now even u.s. veterans are joining the campaign to get them to clean up their act. like the minute. interview with. the.

right. or. even the. good will to. do was behave like this in their own country just acting like this because it's ok now well i wasn't ok now because we have a delegation there. we're supporting the local people and not go against the new base it's been created there and i was told that i heard reports that there was trash all over the place so i have to say with my own eyes because i was a marine that was stationed out there and i couldn't believe it because the marines when i was and we would never do that we were trained and if you pack it in you take it out so so that's why i went out there and just blew my mind i could live

with what i saw all the trash and such a pristine area the claims of us. the military is the biggest polluter i definitely agree with the single most polluter in the world and that's not something that it's that it's up for agreement or disagreement this this can be measured. ranging from the pollutants from the c o two contributions that the u.s. military puts out into that mess fear them our fuel that they use the u.s. doesn't look into the environmental issues or. acknowledge them because of one big reason is the cost of rich retributions so if it's a nice military is destroying an area there is a college and not only that also affecting the health of other people there's a huge cost in that another can send us the truth and who's been to a can allow it told us that he doesn't expect the pentagon to eco friendly anytime soon i've seen a lot of issues. around the bases in okinawa you know similarities in iraq and

afghanistan and even bases here on u.s. soil where it's just contaminating the land that it's using there the open burn pits that is having huge effects on military personnel members and just outright consumption of fossil fuels across the pentagon of all four branches having a training center in the middle of a rain forest you should alternately come down to the people who live in or near that rain forest so say take the young forest in northern okinawa where the u.s. marines have been training for decades the people there on the ground who live there and have to suffer from the consequences of that training they don't want it there the u.s. doesn't really cooperate in any investigations of environmental issues because it's a direct threat to their national security goals but the problem is environmental issues are a direct threat to our lives the u.s. gets away with a lot of the environmental issues and it's not just environmental issues that get away with a lot of things that i think if the american public knew what was going on they

would demand for it at first at least stop. on the way a look at what won't make christmas more merry for some of the world's leaders after the break. snow. to come in the studio to eat.

into. the four. again so it's time to make his way around the world delivering toys to children today will be on the wish list for global leaders do you think and this is the church has been asking people in london for their thoughts. probably wish the breaks of never happened and that she was never promoted to prime minister probably. be the theme in two ways to still to see

how we can help donald trump. finally do it. probably a better way to deal with maybe north korea in some way probably something on the lines of. drinking. water than i do so maybe something to make that a bit easier. i guess he's always going to need orange to go on a spice wall as well. just bring out all the cliche that it is. is pretty happy i don't need anything.

more stable europe probably. more of what. wish list over difficulty is our europe correspondent. if you will that i've been able to get a hold over the leftist to sunset it was written by a mrs and from right c.n.n. live. saying this is the german chancellor's letter to santa claus just sitting. sequence aside from a football wish that they win the world cup in russia or twenty eighteen there are a few pressing political points it seems that the chancellor is asking. for a bit of help with. disarms her please can we sort out the coalition shenanigans. we will not abandon our voters for a policy with which we are not convinced it is better not to govern than to govern

badly it's been months since the election here in germany in the way in negotiations with the social democrats on forming a new grand coalition get underway in january they're far from a done deal and you know we're not entering a grand coalition we said this clearly room after the elections and we still stand by this angle of merkel's christian democratic union party are also unchanged in their negotiating stance but a bigger problem may come in the form of their very own sister party the christian social union stepping down its horse z. hope for their long serving out outspoken leader he was always almost always willing to step into line behind well he is going to be replaced by marcus who's already being trying to appeal to the party's base and it's the party's base that doesn't like a lot of anglo merkel's policies particularly when it comes to refugees and asylum

policy to it breaking with our world is accidental christian jewish humanistic islam has now made an outstanding contribution to the last two hundred years and now we have to be clear about the roots of our own land. can you make it say the c.s.u. did stuff the south for me. they're all those that have started to write angular merkel's political obituary heading into twenty eight thing i'd say that with a bit premature for a chancellor that remains personally popular with a large proportion of the people here in germany however it's not like she couldn't benefit from a christmas wish or two coming through wishing you all a very merry christmas from all of the team here in. money for our tea in berlin and peace for all of us. thanks pete but a couple of weeks now left for up to consider themselves forwards to be in the running for next year's russian presidential election the few names are already in the head of course but as far as the foreign media is concerned there's only one

man they're focusing on and that's the outspoken opposition leader alexina valmy he's clocked up plenty of column inches in the western media over the years where he's described as a challenge to incumbent leader vladimir putin but the valley's not eligible to stand for the election after being found guilty of embezzlement and given a five year suspended prison sentence even so it's regular described as a kremlin critic who attracts thousands of supporters on sunday he submitted the necessary paperwork to be a candidate for the election next march hundreds of supporters jordan but the numbers it seems remarkably down on his last attempt to twenty twelve or more than thirty thousand turned out to moscow as another contender as well little see a new name running for the communist party it's putting forward powerful gruden in he replaces an election veteran who'd been trying to get the kremlin's top job for over twenty years he goes down of takes a closer look at this new election hopeful and his name doesn't say much if anything at all to the majority of russians meet pavel gruden and the new face of the russian communist party in this presidential race he's taking the place of

a man who ran for the communists in every election but one since one thousand nine hundred ninety six so who is he was he known for and why i put him on the ballot well first and foremost he's a businessman who's been building a socialist utopia in miniature for just over a decade just outside moscow nicknamed the strawberry king he governs a small community that's become a shining example of what socialism can achieve. these are some of the socialist dreams turned reality at the livin farm gordon has long been active in the grassroots russian politics he was one of lattimer putin

campaigners back in two thousand helping him rise to power a decade later he switched factions and backed the communists saying russia had taken a wrong turn russia's communist party of today is a very different beast from the one during the soviet union and gruden hopes to steer it more towards a swedish or german style of socialism citing his own socialist success outside moscow even though my own. after farming community that i've led for more than twenty years we've done everything to show that if socialist ideas hadn't been abandoned but instead had been firmly adhere to we don't now be living like in our community which means three education free health care social benefits for pensioners three workshops for children and all the other things that you've seen that you know so the intrigue is now will he managed to tempt all of russia with his ideal of a socialist oasis it has done of. will continue to follow the twists and turns out

it will come your service twenty four seven with all the latest news and go features of course here in moscow today it's given away with the if you're celebrating christmas then for me and the rest of the teams to see it best wishes for the day of the twenty eight thanks for watching. everybody i'm steve and bob. allen with a guy that every american under george bush and r.v. do see this is my buddy max famous finance. gertrude well she's a little bit different i bought a. car no no no no doubt with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the road have fun meet everyday americans. and hopefully start to bridge

the gap this is the great american pill. the only thing. about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last bang turned. to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry. 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 from the but then my feeling 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 be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one quite

different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its maker. welcome to a going underground special on the day the british prime minister of tourism way addresses a tory party faithful in manchester she's also preparing to send troops more troops to the longest war in america his. the war in afghanistan which is why we caught up with the former president of afghanistan hamid karzai at the central london undisclosed location. been an atrocity in less vegas that's seen making the headlines around the world it's always the ads early any of the fairly five

thousand dead or wounded by shootings in the united states far more than military deaths or injuries in afghanistan but immediately after reports came up people suspected isis symptomatic of the fear that extremism is no borders the tragic shooting in in the united states my condolences to the american people in this very sad incident we. feel their pain because we have gone through a lot and almost every day we can get a criticism of the obama administration's response to violence in afghanistan in a moment but it's clear the president on trump as a candidate was talking about isolationism some said his response to terror in your country has been a near nuclear attack on your country apparently without even the permission of afghan authorities we don't want our country to be bombed with. huge huge.

destruction of weapons and bombs we want peace in afghanistan and the united states can talk to us and to bring peace and stability and to defeat extremism. we have more to fear today so we have questions why and that is about who should be discussing how come there is more extremism and how do we address it clearly bombings killings prisons violations of for sovereignty more than utah homes it'll have spent of people has not worked. because we have more of it today there was the taliban there was this there was. no we have on top of it so how come investigation we have in and we are seeking answers for these questions not more bombs or the president or job realized some of the answers winning understood that the obama administration and perhaps catalyzed eyes is in your

country and that was that was the reason to use the bow. you understand that that was not the reason they use that bomb even if that was the reason we strongly people disagree with it. you cannot just throw your biggest bomb on a people. because you want to kill a few individuals. and enjoy in the environment into the village the air the water or the culture of those people you know it is wrong but it isn't even was for that the bomb wasn't even was for that they said this was to. indicate to north korea the u.s. power chart of a nuclear bomb whatever the purpose was. it was an atrocity on the afghan people in the us why i condemn that then i condemn it now ok where do you think

that the trouble ministration understands us. catalyze the catalyzing of i swear by it as well as i'm sure he does when there are people who tell him i mean you more as a racist yes construct absolutely absolutely look as a as a mention earlier. the united states came to afghanistan in the name of ending extremism. bringing an end to radicalism and the extremist forces who are perpetrating violence in afghanistan and elsewhere from two thousand and one since the incident of the tragedy of. september eleventh to today do we have more of it in afghanistan and our region and in the broader region surrounding afghanistan to the middle east or do you have less of it we clearly

clearly visibly every day by all accounts have more of it and now for the past three four years you have died or the isiah is this long state. having merged in afghanistan who did this under the watch of u.s. intelligence and military and how come we have the right to us this question and the u.s. government must answer us the answer is with him it isn't with us you have suspicion of the afghan bases we used to have i have i have more than suspicion u.s. bases i have more than suspicions i have more than suspicions i have seen the afghan people come to me and to me how they are supplied with helicopters how unmarked. non-military color helicopters supply these people not only in one part of the country but in many parts of dallas on and this is a daily occurrence and this is

a daily reporting that we get from from our people from our villages and also from sources within our government this is somebody ball may begin to understand here in britain that britain has been supporting the fact the isis and al-qaeda linked rebels in syria but we're told here the british troops served your country and this country valuably by by liberating helmand province. well at that time they did help and we are grateful for what britain has done for canister it was a must see much much softer version of what the united states did but him and is not with the afghan government today it is back with the taliban therefore. it is now their all weather term most most most of that therefore we must come to a conclusion. that bombs and military action specially by foreign forces will not bring us peace or an inch to extremism. that has to be tooting c.

one. within afghanistan afghans must evolve a mechanism of our own we the afghan people to reach out to everybody specially specially the taliban who are from our country who are the sons of foresight to seek a settlement second this afghan effort must be helped by everybody the united states must become because our primitive partner with the region and with the bigger region with the big countries in the region that is. china russia including our neighbors parks and iran and india to bring us to bring us peace in other words if the u.s. . comes on board we'll be very happy matters will be easier for us for peace if it does not then i suppose we have no alternative but to go to the region and seek their help and that's the direction i believe things are moving in you mentioned

foreign powers or general matters out of the pentagon last week arguing narrowly eld the airport is the rocket attacks. he blamed the russians for supporting the taliban well that's an indication of how things are wrong seventeen years on the americans can't even keep the airport safe on the day. the defense secure of the night still any kind of the russians are involved and and need to seclusion or visiting kabul no russia was supportive of the united states. from two thousand and one from the bone conference. held with the under the auspices of the united nations russia and the entire region were supported by russian leaders have told me personally that the u.s. is doing the right thing in afghanistan but i must cooperate with them so have the chinese so have the indians even the iranians kept quiet in spite of the difference

was general mattis saying rescuers were in i'm coming to the point. the russians were supporting the nasties the russians were allowing us supply is when pakistan became difficult. to go true true true true russian territory thousands of things of supply convoys went through russia to come to afghanistan they supplied the afghan police they gave us training they were cooperative the russians . began to suspecting sort of against one when exactly as we did extremism did not end that increased the violence did not end but spread and on top of it then the order isis also emerged so like us the russians of questions now how come who's doing it. in response to that they're american say you're supporting the taliban. directions or right to ask those questions we ask those questions and

the americans and their allies must answer our questions how come there is more extremism in spite of billions of dollars and loss of life massively to the afghan people and also to the nato forces in afghanistan because there's a question without any proof regarding what the proof is in what is happening in afghanistan. we got peace in afghanistan extremism was defeated within a month it creeping invasion of our country from our neighboring country was was was removed within a month not because the foreign forces were. the only factor of doing that but because the afghan people were supportive the afghan people wanted a change and the region supported the inner cities and its allies with tremendous goodwill they all began to help us in the beginning of my government. my troubles

to this country even when afghanistan had nothing no government nordman station no means no money nothing wherever i went for example when i went to moscow russia sent me a plane took me to moscow brought it back and helped china do the same you don't if anybody india turkey europe the arab countries why isn't that environment there anymore because something has gone wrong and that something has gone wrong is because of the forces who are there to improve things but things do not approve so naturally there are questions and questions are founded on. fundamentally strong evidence of wrongdoing how would you characterize u.s. destabilization of your government and of afghan democracy we know from wiki leaks cables that hillary clinton said we need to do everything we can to rebalance the playing field tilted. at that time to karzai referring to yourself and we

have other cables explaining other than us ambassador i can very clearly the these people want to tell them oust me or to weaken me or to bring me to an arrangement that was not in accordance to the afghan constitution will be resisted they failed . and people voted but the counting of the vote was into her hands. and through various mechanisms including some international mickle isms the manipulated those words and the try to work force me to accepting that arrangement . which was to have a chief executive for me like what we have now the story but i refused to accept that the reason the united states interfere with very martyrs or americans lead directly unfortunately in that in that that is a very.
