ok let's see how we did while we got a nice watch for max. oh beautiful jewelry how about. for a match you know what money laundering highly. watch guys record. if north korea really believes we're about to conduct a preemptive strike of this could be a significant and a serious preemptive strike that maybe. they may be motivated to make it to try to be just the fights have to go first like. that just. certain i want to do things that show me face do with really be very clear right. away go to the. management. and they are

they they when they have to then they have. to. ask him you need to feel that. something yes i'm them what do you how much. do you want. to make a living that would be measured more negative. news from a solution a means by smelling them. just music to stay in the room with them which is the

spirit in monaco the new forces a. small apartment or. a little business over there was just almost trying. to gather some hard time in all seriousness. i am. if north korea really believes we're about to conduct a preemptive strike of it's going to be significant in a serious preemptive strike that may. and they may be motivated to make it to try to beat us to the flights have them for

a strike. when people discuss history's most shocking political assassinations that decades later still raised more questions than answers the case that usually first comes to mind is the tragic killing of president john f. kennedy and the neverending back and forth of the roles of lee harvey oswald fidel castro lyndon johnson and the country's intelligence agencies and had in the stand a little mystery surrounding it but what gets lost in the polarizing world of j.f.k. assassination theories and debates is the much more startling and frankly bizarre facts surrounding the murder of j.f.k. his brother and presidential front runner robert f.

kennedy gunned down in a los angeles hotel kitchen hours after winning a crucial presidential primary but according to researchers jane o'sullivan and many others are of caves convicted us fast and simply cannot be the only one culpable in the killing here is what he had to say. historically in the early seventy's and witness testimony established that sterling wasn't in the right position and he was too far away from bobby kennedy to actually be the person who had killed him i'm sorry who was in front of bobby kennedy at the barrel of his gun it was a foot in the have to five feet away according to the witness testimony and the off that he tells us that the fatal shot was fired from an inch behind bobby kennedy's right here so that was really the starting point for the alternative view of the assassination in the early seventy's and in recent years. the only audio recording of this you saying and then i left is that that has established that thirteen shots

were fired in the country and it's the start time it's gun on the house eight bullets all of those were expended but with five other witnesses are five other bystanders injured in the pantry. shots hitting bobby kennedy's body one going through a shoulder pad two bullet holes found in the country door frames and there were no audio recording the thirteen shots were fired that pretty clearly establishes in my mind that there were two shooters in the country that night because of the body position and because the surgeons mental state at the time i gravely doubt that he was the one who killed bobby kennedy i believe there was a second gunman involved let's talk a little bit because i think in this day and age because of television we really like to see forensic evidence and understand how that tells a story what are those you explain a few of them but what are the main inconsistency is that you noticed between sort of the cold hard forensic evidence and the official version of events can you kind

of walk us through those. sure well you know in terms of the official story sir when was the one who was caught in the pantry he was waving a gun. bobby kennedy fell three shots were fired into kennedy's body and it seemed an open and shut case that certain was apprehended and certain was the when he killed him. but i think the strongest for us forensic test meeting we have today is the audio recording of the gunshots which at the time because it was recorded on a cassette tape in a portable by a portable tape recorder by a police reporter it wasn't seen as of any forensic value by the police when they first examined it because they didn't have the technology to analyze it as it's a fairly poor recording and to analyze it to the degree that it's been on ice in recent years so they couldn't establish that there were shots on the tape at the time but a recent analysis by phil van praag has established the thirteen shots were fired

so i think that's the strongest evidence that we have that there were two shooters involved also the body position. in relation to kennedy and what the autopsy tells us about where the killer was when he far that is. in the interview on kennedy's right ear the that the contrast the conflict between surrounds body position and the firing position dictated by the autopsy to me have the strongest forensic audio forensic evidence that we have and just as a stickler about that for our audience that home just so i understand it as well the original statement of the original official story was that he was standing in front of bobby kennedy when he struck him was the injuries to show that he would have had to bend standing behind him because bobby kennedy was charlie's one shot from behind his out by despair correct. that's a pretty big thank yeah i think that you know stop seeing that. there isn't there yeah it's

a must have discrepancy between the autopsy findings. and it came up at the grand jury and even two days after the shooting and one of the. at this time prosecutors in los angeles. couldn't couldn't believe that the fatal shot was fired from three inches because none of the witnesses had said the barrel of their hands gun was within three inches of kennedy so if you closely examine the witness testimony there is a big disparity between the firing position behind kennedy and behind his right ear and started firing position which was in front of kennedy the barrel of his gun one and a half to five feet away exactly no it would be interesting figure this through his surrounds around the you know he was he was you know convicted of the crime went to jail but it really a lot of when you look at the mr mystery around this guy i'm reminded a lot of like you know a leo's wild type of figure you know and that stuff that there was so many moving parts around this guy that don't really add up walk us through some of the things

that you discovered about zurab in the research for your book because the guy is truly one of those wildly wonderful mysterious character figures in history at this point. yeah and i mean i guess he's the closest thing we have to realize manchurian candidate if you if you examine his story closely i mean at the defense psychiatry at the time prior to trial they walked him back through the shooting and tried through you know jog his recall and put or put them into hypnosis to try to remember this you think and they became convinced that he was going to have not extended at the time of this huge thing in the pantry of the ambassador hotel june fifth one hundred sixty eight and that may expand quite a wild theory but actually he was going through his nose at the time he spent a lot of his time hypnotizing himself with the crystal in his room and writing very strange automatic writing in a notebook that was laid. were found and submitted in evidence and it had no pensions and repetitions of phrases like are of can must i or risque must be assassinated before june five one hundred sixty eight in terms of the motives that

was used at trial june five nine hundred sixty seven had been the start of the arab israeli war the six day war in which the arabs had been completely vanquished by the israeli forces and kennedy had made campaign promise during his campaign perhaps partly to to you know in terms of the with the jewish vote in mind that he would pay for their defensemen the fifty bombers that had been lost by the israelis during that conflict so that promise to buy fifty found subjects was cited as evidence of why sir one may have wanted to kill bobby kennedy and why he may have gone to the pantry that nice but if you actually look at the steps that he took towards the path towards the ambassador hotel that night it was really by complete accident that he went there here and there was a party going on and his friend didn't turn up. and he made his way down basically just to try and meet girls and try to have a good time at out

a party and they didn't find out later at that kind of these kind of the reception was there for the california democratic primary. and later there was an encounter with a girl in the polka dot dress who some believe gave him the cue to actually enact hypnotic program and kill kennedy it's incredible when you when you look at the story but then when you look at like you know comparatively around that same time you also suddenly you know the investigation is going on like by rockefeller and church where you're saw that the cia and other u.s. covert agencies were experimenting with that kind of. thing and jailed i mean all through it like all of those sort of something that they think they've admitted. and admitted to doing or at least trying to do do you think that's the cot that's the perp and you know i think that's. well i think that's an interesting point because this is you know obviously the trial of saddam was january sixty nine so it was i think eight years before any of the m.k.

ultra stuff really came out and before the public and investigators were aware of it so it seemed even more while at the time because there was nothing out in the public apart from you know very much during kind of a movie and book which which may have been somewhat inspired by rumors that this was going on but we didn't know really until the mid to late seventy's that the cia had been trying to create a program to stockton and whether it be cia or whether it be other in the ferias foursomes there was clearly an attempt to create not of the program gets passed and who once they did the deed wouldn't have it would have an easier for the event and in this sense would be the perfect it's awesome that they wouldn't be able to remember what happened to them and they'd be the perfect patsy. even in terms of a book this recently come out in the last month by the israeli and intelligence analyst. in that book you mentions that the israelis were trying to create a brainwashed assassin in one nine hundred sixty eight before they they abandon

efforts apparently so definitely this was something that the intelligence agencies worldwide were trying to create as a means to you know i guess get rid of whatever targets they deemed necessary and make it look i mean that's the thing i think for people at home the idea of doing that would be because then you're sort of are able to say lone wolf it's not connected to anything as one is it's not there's just some crazy person lost at so good do you think it using that as an example that that it was missed out to do that do you could do you think was behind that or what is your evidence in your but you know sort of need to you to believe who was behind that but and. you know ultimately why do you think he was killed i mean i know we have. air the israeli situation going on do you think that was it not you that someone would have asked it would be odd i wouldn't i'm not saying it wouldn't. but yeah i mean i think in

all of these cases perhaps in the j.f.k. case with oswald as well i mean you see a pattern in terms of a legend being created around a certain character who is being set up for the fall in an assassination of this kind of italy with or with oswald it was the cubans that you age and he was apparently pro castro and he was doing it you know partly for those motivations and those reasons obviously the the program of political beliefs of star hand the fact he was a loner that he didn't have many many friends who could track his movements or track any of his strange behavior all of this in a sense made him the perfect fall guy for an operation like this and i think what you also have to acknowledge with an operation like this is that a lot of resources go into it in terms of wiping it clean and leaving very few traces of who was actually behind it and who pulled the trigger in terms of second gunman and the fascinating thing for me in terms of writing the book and making a film about this case is talking to kind of former intelligence or former police

professionals who basically said this level for this kind of assassination only the shadow knows in terms of who second gunman was i mean they would be a professional hit man they would come in they would do the job they would get out of there obviously all the pandemonium around. pain victory speech two minutes later going into the pantry seventy seven people being in a very low ceilinged crowded room didn't leave little room it would be fairly easy to escape and not to leave it and leave any traces that make it very hard for some like me to come around and come along you know forty years later and say who did water who shot what i think at this stage is more important fifty years later we acknowledged the ip. unions' of those closest to the case in this case it would be robert kennedy jr and bobby kennedy's son who has gone on the record two years ago surrounds last parole hearing saying he wanted the case reopened on the strength of

the audio forensic evidence in this case and paul straight who was very very close friend of bobby kennedy who was walking a behind him in the night is to think i was talking to had he believed spicer and he has tried to reopen the case for over forty five years it is now ninety three years old he was actually you know probably in all probability shot by star hunt on that night and he believed struck and did not kill his close friend bobby kennedy so if you have people of that caliber believing that there should be a i don't i reopened investigation and that started it was not responsible for killing bobby kennedy and i think you know they california parities in fabric federalists our coverage to pay some attention to that rather than just chasing after you know who the gunman was at this stage if they're still alive and who may have paid for the bullets. government fascinating stuff we should definitely check out because corker it's a great read art of

a body that is our strove for you today remember when in this world we are pulling down. the wall you. keep watching the hawks with every great pleasure. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution. the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful protests to be increasingly violent. revolution is always spontaneous. you know what i mean your list put me in the. the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty four. those who took part in this today over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other

goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. the stakes couldn't be higher and it's happening in syria the goal of destroying the islamic state is largely complete now the syrian proxy war is in train the new stage for the players and one of their aims and what does winning. it's not laughed so. much. just certain i want to do things that show a new face you would be very clear. away from your. management. and the young they they when they have them they have a minute. to

meet you feel there's really. something yeah i'm them what do you how they become us off of what your body looks local do you. mean that we can measure stuff that's awesome or negative. but.

on a visit to ankara america's top diplomat attempts to improve worsening relations with key nato ally turkey has tensions going syria over washington support for kurdish groups which turkey considers terrorists. the limp experience it is being. embraced by competitors from around the world of the winter games in south korea with rivals helping each other around. the specific russian athlete he offered me a whole boy track because of the fact that he was willing to reach out and hold me insights like that just grit time shows that sport can bridge cultures it can bridge politics. and a new report into alleged russian interference in the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election claims popular american media outlets were in directly involved in meddling themselves.

here watching r t international live from our moscow studio with me in india today welcome to the program the u.s. secretary of state is in turkey in an effort to mend ties with ankara rex tillerson has already met with the president earlier on as well as the country's foreign minister the nato allies have been at odds over washington support for kurdish militia in syria and chris angry that the u.s. banks groups which turkey calls terrorists in the run up to the meeting the turkish defense minister made clear what he wants from the u.s. . we demand that this relationship and by that i mean we want them to and all the support given to the syrian army of the p.k. the white b.g. let's take a closer look now at the two groups just referred to by the defense minister the

p.k. k. is the kurdistan workers' party a group fighting turkish authorities for more than thirty years both ankara and washington consider them a terrorist organization on the other hand american turkey have different opinions on the syria based kurdish militia called the people's protection units or the wind and current regarded as a branch of the p.k. k. . terrorists but the us led coalition sees the why p.g. as our. allies in the fight against islamic state in syria in january the pentagon and it was creating a kurdish led security force right on turkey's doorstep in northern syria in response. a military campaign against kurdish militia turkey has long been complaining about the us serious because however washington in says is weapon supplies a limited we have never given heavy arms to the wife e.g. so there is none to take but we should be using we should be willing to be proven

to be the best smoothers really proving to be the most really do is now the turkish government considers these kurdish forces operating in syria to be terrorists and feels quite threatened by them and has been a long outspoken in demanding that the united states and its support for these forces why does the us continue to send weapons to syria even after iceland's been cleared why do these weapons still arrive you must be plotting against america is in the process of creating a terror army on our border so what we have to do is nip this terror army in the bud american do not encroach on our borders do not provoke us we will run out of patience tillerson has arrived in turkey and he'll be going to an embassy a u.s. embassy in turkey that is on a street it's actually am to for the military operation against those kurdish forces armed by the united states operation olive branch they are sending

a pretty clear message to washington that they do not approve of this policy of arming kurdish forces the united states is caught in a strange place between two allies it's aligned with the kurdish forces and it's also a line with the turkish government a member of nato that considers those kurdish forces to be terrorists one expert told us turkey is losing patience with the u.s. and needs more than just words from its ally. actually there i don't know what the united states want but in turkey the government and the people of turkey believe that it actually is of you are fed up with these words it's coming from america i miss a good to be you know understanding security teams of turkey it's the same kind of big kurdish forces. turkey is expecting there's some you know not promises to do something related to syria if you're now turkey is you know not so waiting any diplomatic santas is from the united states just want to keep

his promises to deliver this promises to keep otherwise i think it doesn't work you know this kind of diplomatic meetings for turkey. is now a week since the winter olympics in south korea officially began and while controversial and and they have been raising their hands as usual in any major sporting event they have also been some touching stories of mutual help and support . has no unfortunately with these winter olympics the story has been that every other day yung chang treats the media with some sort of scandal so far perhaps one of the most disgusting ones for me was when a canadian short track speed skater was receiving death threats from the locals after she finished fourth first but then a south korean athlete was disqualified and then her position was upgraded to start

place and that's when be ugly things started happening but you shouldn't get the impression that the a look big games are doomed because in many sports there is such a spirit it's the kind of family spirit that goes first after nationality rivalry politics etc there was one giggs. ample when during cross-country skiing competition a russian skier lost a part of his equipment and then an american coach rushed to help him out if the russian skier had to do this u. turn you don't come back to pick it up that would have been a disaster for the race but thanks to the american coach it didn't happen and we talked to the man the cross country ski family is is exactly that it's a family we often benefit from russian or no region coach is giving our athletes a pole in a race and we'll do the same i would say it's very friendly when you walk by

a russian athlete or coach we would always say congratulations or if we've had a good race they will say congratulations to us three years ago and most of the entire russian women's team came up to our hotel in her tea and cookies with our own her continue and not many people spoke the same language we know a few words of russian a couple of them they knew some more english than we knew russian but we had a great time and it was one of those moments in my career that i remember well i guess when it comes to whole when to call rivals russia and the u.s. helping each other out in sports it works both ways and here with me i got the chang silver medalist in luge british master who definitely knows what i'm talking about and he's ready to tell us about a story that happened to him a few months ago as far as a distant chris hi again congratulations and what's that story with the russian

athlete i guess helping you out yeah thank you very much so as it was a couple weeks ago where i was having a very difficult last season people were starting to reach out and help me and there was a specific russian athlete he offered me help like technical help with with my i pod with with fiberglass with with aerodynamics and although it didn't work because i'm much larger than he is the fact that he was willing to read. out and help me and such like desperate slime shows that sport can bridge you know cultures that can bridge politics that we can connect on the human level through sports and that's that's really what embodies the olympics here is that so many countries are coming together connecting through sport it really shows the power of the human spirit absolutely this is a small little step it takes a lot of people to get one of these and i can't think simulate enough for thinking about me and just trying to help me out and it's a time of need i am very close friends with with so many different russian athletes and yes there's been a lot of scandals and i'm really i can't wait for the day that we can move past

this and we can just get right back to sport clean sport it's so easy to talk about negative things but it's really difficult to highlight these positive situations you know who knows maybe one two olympics this wall behind us and we'll get right back to you know clean competition and a lot of fun and the team of limpid athletes from russia have added three more medals to their tally natalia voronin who won bronze in the speedskating denis spitz off also took third place on the podium in his event while nikita trade group of the silver in the skeleton that makes a total of eight medals for the elim pick things from russia team. now the winter olympics on the only major sporting event in this year's calendar the football world cup it's not just a matter of months away. as we're looking at the history of one legendary club which despite its massive influence on the game now they hit the big time.
