your cities your body american urban decay more depressingly the city of baltimore baltimore struggles with a record high murder rate. murder and it will. yes baltimore there is a robust active crime strategy. that all comes as baltimore has been rocked by the ongoing trials and one of

america's biggest police corruption scandals begun trey's task force and the elite group of plainclothes officers were supposed to be reducing violence and crime however it now seems they may have actually been adding to it six out of eight members of the group have pled guilty to the charges of organized crime including extortion and drug dealing are chase american has been covering the story. the baltimore police department is now involved in one of the biggest scandals in u.s. law enforcement history for months now the court system has been trying to investigate corruption within the city's police force eight officers are on trial over drug trafficking racketeering robbery and planting fake evidence like drugs and. we would create false reports to cover up the robberies we were involved in. it was like a way of life where got away with a lot of things if proven guilty the officers and may face twenty to one hundred years in prison and six of them have already pleaded guilty and are now acting as

witnesses in hopes of softening the moving verdict and their lawyers claim the officer still guilt over what they've done mr jenkins is extremely remorseful he's been remorseful for a long time even before these charges were brought and he's relieved that today finally he was publicly able to accept responsibility for their clients sorry for what they did for sure. he sure is he regretful of what what happened i really don't have any comment meanwhile officers cases continue to be dismissed with hundreds under review and most of them involve incidents of officer switching off their body cameras to plant drugs or guns and then reenact seizing the evidence they had already planted. we talked to christopher urban who founded a group that helps former contacts back into society he's concerned about innocent people being set up by the authorities with fake evidence. going to jail for things that they didn't do so now you know when you look at the news and you see that

these police is a cover up these are the same guys that be locking people up you know sitting in the jail she reports putting guns on them drugs is so subtle or subtle you look at the police to be somebody that you could trust in your city somebody that you can call but you can't even call in because you don't know if they will come for you call rob you'll have a case maybe it's so sad because a commission in baltimore doing nothing you know at night is so scary as to be outside because you don't know if you'll give rob will shot you know you look for the police to protect you and that you did not want. the u.s. president looks set to approve the release of a classified memo that allegedly shows the f.b.i. abused its surveillance powers and spied on donald trump's campaign team it's resulted in a public clash between the white house and the agency now the f.b.i. has complained that it wasn't given sufficient time to review the content it also says that it has grave concerns that facts have been removed from the memo the u.s. house intelligence committee voted to release it on monday its top ranking democrat

representative adam schiff has said that changes were made without proper approval and called for the white house to drop the release the memo was originally drafted by the chairman of the u.s. house intelligence committee now the chairman spokesperson has revealed that some of those changes actually came at the request of the democrats explaining that other changes included minor edits grammatical fixes and to add it's requested by the f.b.i. this all comes after donald trump was caught on a hot mike confirming he will release the damning memo but really right now we're learning. right. it is claimed the document reveals f.b.i. abuse of the foreign intelligence surveillance act particularly with regards to claims found in the infamous trump it confirmed it could damage confidence not only in the bureau but also in the ongoing probe into trump's alleged russian links some republican house members who say they've read the memo have called it shocking and

worse than the watergate scandal however some democrats in congress say that the culture release the document are nothing more than another plot engineered by the kremlin after the hash tag released the memo spread on social media in the us politicians put pressure on the platforms to find evidence of russian bots but nothing to indicate that was found and the mainstream media went even further suggesting the chairman who drafted the memo could be a russian agent himself. is it possible that the republican chair of the house intel committee has been compromised by the russians there's a possibility i tried all the russian agents running the house intel committee on the republican side i hope that's not the case i mean this is behavior speak about the me i'm not the first person who's raised this he's behaving like someone who's been compromised by. the.

investigators reportedly are interested in stuns advocacy for better relations with russia any vote for stein is a vote that otherwise would have gone to hillary's. donna brazil would seemingly buy into people's russian fuel propaganda spread by both the russians and her opponent candidates how. if those objections and i know the senator from kentucky on the floor say before i leave this if there's objection you are achieving the objective you said let me. let the democrats want to answer that question is dead the nunez a russian agent with yes but they know that they'll be sort of laughed off the

stage for getting into conspiracy theories i've never thought this is about russia collusion which isn't even illegal if it was i simply think this is about finding a way to stop a powerful force that they can't figure out how to stop democrats in our country this was invented by them it was politically weaponized through the f.b.i. and other levels of our federal government and it's the only way they figured out how to stop or break the tie the american people have to this president. one of the world's most popular messaging services is dropped by apple we'll have the details on that after a short break. but hope to do something to. put themselves on the line they did accept or reject. so when you want to be president. some want to be rich. but you going to be the person that's what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested in the

waters of. course. join me every thursday on the alex i'm i'm sure and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics this list i'm show business i'll see that. the currency market itself is still on track to eclipse the global banking bola gaap only which is what we need what we want and i've always said it's a bank circular that's the primary use of bitcoin. welcome back to the program apple has dropped the popular messaging app telegram from its online store without warning available in thirteen languages around

a million people download it every week across different platforms and experimental version of the app has also been removed. go see if and joins us now live with the details what's been the reaction from the telegram team. well it seems that they were surprised everybody else they broke up to see their ad but both apps telegram and telegram x. an upgraded version taken down from the app store and they only got a letter explaining why after the fact we were alerted by apple that inappropriate content was made available to our users and both apps were taken of the app store once we have protections in place we expect the apps to be back on the app store. now in apple's lingo inappropriate content can mean all manner of things it can mean obsessing were offensive material it could

mean calls to violence showing illegal material for example crimes or violence it could also mean calls encouraging people to illegally or recklessly use weapons and every single application in the app store in apple's app store it has to have a way of filtering filtering such material from being preventing it from being posted to user generated applications user generated content this whatsapp for example telegram snap chat other applications what is the question the big question now is how is telegram going to enforce a filter over the years it has become. home to both prove democracy activists and terrorists alike isis for example ran its main news channel through telegram it's an application that makes it almost impossible to track somebody down and the telegram has insisted on preventing various law enforcement agencies around the

world from getting access to encrypt keys it takes its users privacy very seriously but that in turn has resulted in a lot of criticism here in russia and the united states a number of countries of band telegram because they see it as they see it as you know enabling terrorists so it remains to be seen what telegram will do to get back on the app store and what sort of timeframe that they're going to do this in a lot of questions still up in the air r.t. as miranda stan thanks for the update. in other news campaigning for the may oral elections in the japanese city of not go has again highlighted the controversial nature of america's military presence on our island japan central government and authorities and camilla where u.s. troops are currently stationed have been in battle over the possible relocation of the base to the northern city of not go a recent poll shows sixty three percent of voters oppose the relocation while only

twenty percent support the move the incumbent mayor of the city says a vote for him would be a vote for defending japan's autonomy showing these elections are extremely important as they will have a great impact on the future of not go in okinawa our country's current administration is attacking us with attempts to sway the power these elections are meant to defend japanese democracy and our autonomy we're asking people from all over the country for their understanding okinawa is in a difficult situation right now but if many people support us we will continue what we do. in one thousand nine hundred six a review by japan and the us decided the american base should be relocated to the remote area noko the decision was made in order to reduce the military impact on the populated communities of southern arc in iowa but there has since been numerous crying the u.s. military presence there in the u.s. military presence there.

that's a rundown of the news for now but i'll be back in about thirty minutes with today's top headlines so do stay with us.

on welcome to all the part of the current presidential campaign in russia has to trade their record number of contenders the homes that you stickly have little chance of challenging the incumbent and that's not only because they are flying at which is still down viable approval ratings but also because after eighteen years of his leadership the prospect of power transition in russia looks increasingly precarious if not put them home and watch well to discuss that i'm now joined by ksenia such a candidate in the two thousand and two russian presidential election saying it's great to talk to thank you very much for a time. thank you now when you announce your candidacy a few months ago you position yourself as a candidate you said in

a number of occasions that you do not intend or do not plan to win i wonder if your strategy has changed in any way perhaps to include something more than just getting the protest mode while first to want i want to command on what is said about if not then who i think who is what and watch yeah i think very important thing that this question by itself is leads. to nowhere it's not a good question and not right question to ask because it doesn't matter who if not putin i would love anyone to be on his place but the most important thing is them to change every four and i strongly disagree with you because i think the russian history shows that the power transition is a very very precarious no mystery russian history shows that we don't have experience of democratic rule that's why most important in power transition is

a change every four years it doesn't matter who they are even if they're not that effective as putin the most important thing is that they should change every four years and they can only be two times for their lifetime so what i fight for is that the whole system now in russia's elections is unfair putin weaves not because he has a big support but because no one else can go on free t.v. and say what they want to know you how do you have these different sheets of it and if i may vary your back to most emotion it is so sorry i can have only for this complaint time when i talk about free media i talk about totally the same level of different opinions for years and now we can see eighteen years of only one position on all the federal channels and russia in my. even and just probably i actually agree with you on many of those points i'm not arguing with that but i

want to bring it back to my original question and that is whether you at this point of time whether you're aiming for something more than just a protest vote do you want to be that of anyone else as you just pointed out i want to show people russia that there is another point of view this is the goal of my complaint i know you can't win on the elections where only putin always wins so there is no sense of talking what would be if i would win i will never win on the elections laken because ino where all always casino wins my goal is to speak to the russians now on federal channels because it's the only opportunity in morden russia to speak to them during the presidential campaign because off to come pain and before company big shot those doors so. to speak and tell them the truth this is a rare opportunity. to make this opportunity common for them well speaking about the truth because i think many of the issues that you raise i think have pretty

much in line with what the current administration preaches for example putting himself on many occasions that russia needs more competition both political but gives it can only its no you can say between look truth and lies are spoken by the same words but people always feel one person of truth fulfilled feeling or he is so you are you when he says i want to conquer and it's a lie because if he was conference why he doesn't let i like seeing the violent take over this in competition because there is a lawsuit but you created this lawsuit lot to get him in line to it isn't it is not only putin and his administration ministers for example they say russian governance is not very efficient it's to bureaucratize believes there's nothing they just agree with something people read these. i mean what i mean what makes it different is different because you guys didn't mention the save this is not at all the

difference is huge and this difference is in what we call real concubines because what i found because crime usually serious by congress i mean complete titian if putin is really for competition i want him to take part in debates as all the leaders of the world he doesn't debate for eighteen years with any of his opponents he only speaks with giorno s. and this is the only idea of question and i'll say he gives but i don't like this idea i want to argue with mr putin i want not only to have his answer but i want to ask additional question and additional question to every he is i don't have the support you need to know and no one has in our country and this is not fair but i only see by a lack of debates we can say that those the elections are not fair i want to see the same debates i saw trump with hillary clinton but i don't think that wrong on

the day i don't know why i don't why i did it if he is not afraid because this is a political tradition and. this is a bad tradition if we're talking about democracy and mr putin many times said that russia is a democratic state in all democratic states and i'm a poet all it is i'm quite sure in what i'm saying there exists a tradition of debates and putin was asked many times to take part in those debates and he never does so this is not fair if he really wants computing ok now all the facts your social eleanor here for eighteen years i'm just a little blonde girl you know coming from you can count on and have to balance with me i'm not you know i don't know someone who is so much less than you that you would have been led astray by yourself because you made your criticism of putin very clear by. let's leave some time but this is my comparing isabeau like campaign

is not about me. going to give you an easy way out of that because you haven't you are my way is only to show that those people should not be there this is actually what i know they you know now i mean these are not the boxing assault my campaign is candid it against all i said you. do want to ask a few questions about yourself you said for example just the other day. governing class you view governing class as hard professionals and i agree with you on the read the people hard those professionals to do the job for us yourself you have no governing this experience from what i know you have no major managerial experience you don't not have the experience of making decisions under stress and sometimes competing so much stress during raids in my life i had so much anyhow not having starts again i'm asking her professional experience of making decisions if you feel

you believe in running the country on the professional basis what makes you qualified for the position that you're writing delivering that my country should be run by professional managers and by both mission olds but president is not a person who is doing you know some experts work as were members responsible for making decision that was said that a president should be you know one field expert president is someone who in my point of view is the government teat of constitution in the russian government the president has the bully and others say it's for the interview because you haven't read my program as you know in my program the first point i make that i am against presidential republic i want to problem enter republican russia and in parliamentary republic of the main and all the biggest function of president is a girl and t. of. institution so. of us love god will were not professionals but they were one

of the best leaders of the world to my point of view because they were brave enough to go out to people and say look i want to unite you all and i think what we're doing is right and what they are doing is wrong so i want to this is an example for me i am a person who wants to go in t. that the constitution written by my father by the way will be a really good deed in this country and i want parliament to decide all the important laws from my concho what i hear you saying is that if parliament has to be professional but what the president the president does now i say even we don't need presidential republic we don't need one person's rule a president should be at. times and in god will disagree with like of us of government was not a professional as you know when he became a president he was not a politician he once said i'm not a politician i'm just a person who cares so i'm i'm also a person who cares and in the state where politics was killed all the professionals

were suppressed so that they couldn't take part in politics if their position is so in this situation now we just need brave people who are not afraid so now i'm just a brave person who says look i'm not afraid and unfortunately this is already enough now to go and fight for power because all the people really afraid of what's going on in there they're suffering with fear that's why those professionals who should rule they're sitting at home their doors locked and they're fraid of the government so they don't go out on the streets they don't vote neither one of those if you the streets just yesterday but no this is not true a good look we all live in they do this in your sleep you know why they are now they are going to go on the streets because she says streets younger than. because the government didn't approve this meetings and they said everywhere if you go out

we'll put it to police you just use nail flying i said people took to the streets not that the government approved of the people. regardless of the d.p. no you are the one doing regardless of unconstitutional people you can just see also that on sunday you supported your former associate in the lawyers and only propaganda does i will explain you by singer so they say look people didn't go on to list treats and when i said try to say that they didn't go out on the suits not because they're not so many people who feel that they that he hates detainer restraint of people went on the streets only two thousand people it's really no anything there in the hundreds of thousands of people in russia would love to go on the streets but they're not allowed because government so i think if you go in there. if you go three years if you give them credit for it to jail this is what government always says they don't give sanction to those meetings they say no this is not confirmed as a meeting so they do everything to make people frightened all of them what do you

hold. and let me ask you all of it for our country and for teaching about of the politics of our country one of your very consistent criticisms of the current current government is that it hasn't done something for example it hasn't rained in corruption there it hasn't invested in their own heart hydrocarbon industry hasn't done much of that but this is the same argument. decision due argument could be equally apply to you then and not apply here. you haven't run in and. you haven't started an innovative disney you haven't done my actions the way of public service i have started fortunately don't know much about me because i had started an innovative business i am doing i have a big agency who works in the internet selling advertisement selling. just. why i should do something for public service if i only begin my political

that is my question of why would you if you take your way this seriously i don't she successfully businessman in my process i had my restaurants which i ruled for many years and got a good revenues for that i made a big list on an advertisement i sold it because i went to my political career so my political career is only starting and i hope in this way to make a lot of things and i don't think it's quite correct tosk the same things of a businessman. who was doing business and successful business for many years and from presidents who should be doing i'm not comparing you but your way are you saying things could be applied to me what they say may have been doing or didn't do can you do it for ten years economy of the country but i was not told him if you have me running and you know for example you mean i was doing my own business and if you didn't hear run for the position of the president i would assume maybe i'm

wrong that it requires a certain degree of public involvement of the dalek service i'm sorry in the country which is autocratic like russia that only one quality you need to run for president is one quality that i would say no volley and i share the braveness because people who go against putin the end their life in prison and you know this for sure so. to be a highly developed you know. manager this is unfortunately not enough now you have to be brave and after those people like me will great this wall of autocracy that those managers can come out and rule and this is my goal i don't want to see its powers i want to break this wall over to create a christian ok except for the time being we have to take a very very short break but to be able to back in just a few moments they can. be

everybody i'm stephen pope. hollywood guy you'll suspect. proud american first of all i'm just george bush in our view to suggest this is my buddy famous financial guru that will use a little bit different i'm. going to. enter with those up with all the drama happening in our country and have to meet every day americans. and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american people.

welcome back to all the parts that are seen as the check a candidate in the two thousand and eighteen russian presidential election and saying just before the break you mentioned the name of alexina volunteer i assume a former friend of yours was precluded from running in this elections and his supporters. took to the streets in this. of unsanctioned rallies just the other day apparently didn't make much of it but i think that it was a no to believe they defied the government several times in the us it was only two thousand people it's not all this i yes ok well you've given then things are unsanctioned this is what i mean given that you're running as a mysterious as you just pointed out and without doing some land people go on the streets and then the say so not so i think insanely to solve the oh no no some.
