security adviser settled into office john. bolton the latest official to face scrutiny over alleged links to russia. in the latest installment of the revolving door saga that's defined the trumpet ministration a third national security advisor is taking over john bolton is an outspoken ultra hawk seen as an advocate of big stick diplomacy including when it comes to russia the russians have walked all over the obama administration for eight years it's really been a pathetic performance putin is i think making a propaganda claim here and of course he's blaming us for this he's saying if you had you know the one nine hundred seventy two anti-ballistic missile treaty i wouldn't have to do this that's complete nonsense and he knows that you've got to build up our cyber fence of defensive capabilities and create structures of deterrence so it doesn't happen again and how do you do that in this case you make the russians feel pain so not exactly in line with trump's enduring message of the benefits of getting along with russia but maybe that means this is the one guy in
2:13 am
the trumpet ministration who won't be accused of being a kremlin puppet or not if we look back bolton is not without connections to russia and as we all know any hint of the wrong red white and blue flag is more than enough to string someone up in washington now back in two thousand and thirteen bolton recorded a video for a russian gun rights group and courage in moscow to adopt something similar to america second amendment or the russian national government to grant a broader right to bear arms to its people it would be creating a partnership with its citizens that would better allow for the protection of mothers children and families but given that bolton was on the areas international affairs subcommittee at the time it's not all that surprising or sinister that however isn't stopping anyone from jumping to collusion conclusions now stay with me here the group that distributed the video was co-founded by alexander torsion yes a russian and the f.b.i. is reportedly investigating whether torsion illegally funneled money to the n.r.a.
2:14 am
which in turn use the funds to support the trump campaign and the russian cherry on top is torsion is tied to the kremlin and president putin himself well. connections like that there are sure to be a huge scandal brewing and sadly for bolton it gets worse he has appeared on our channel a number of times in the past and we all know what washington thinks of us propaganda bullhorn party television up again the machine of russian propaganda and russian propaganda machine propaganda machine this propaganda that's coming out of russia russian propaganda on steroids the internet isn't ignoring the possibly serious physical signs of where bolton's loyalties truly lie either. jumbo. because of russian spy. breaking john bolton's missteps started is a russian spies vote since her and mr should different colors which makes him look like he's in disguise and just over two weeks bolton will officially take over as trans national security adviser giving the media plenty of time to tease out any
2:15 am
and all ties but may have to russia and speculate on exactly what they mean good luck guys. we also spoke to legal and media analyst he believes that bolton's appointment sends conflicting messages we started off with hawkish responsible bellicose saber rattling all of us be more circumspect it changes by the day i have to remind you of this one issue north korea still phase one president trump one to choose one them we can annihilate you are a button is bigger than your button we have more missiles are new to watch it phase two were approached detente great let's meet political stage three let's bring in bolden who wanted a preemptive strike if you can figure this out if you can see any pattern to this

the protests. in part c. politician in the us is proposing to arm homeless people so that made defend themselves brian allison a michigan candidate for the u.s. senate it sees rough sleepers are facing increasing levels of violence on the wants to give them shotguns and firearms training. most people are statistically much more prone to be the victim of violent crimes they're easy target and they really don't have any means to protect themselves they don't have a means to obtain the weapons that any other american citizen can continually get their hands on i understand why people see it's alarming. but i think people fail to see the other alarming point is people want to constantly bring up the mental health of the homeless and how that's a big issue how they're prone to violence i think that's frankly something that we should be much more worried about is the militarization of the police force and
2:19 am
that is much more dangerous to the american people and i promise that the police kill many more people in a year then do any homeless people if we follow the letter of the law and we do the background checks like we expect to do and somebody does something that they're not supposed to do with a weapon they should be they should be held one hundred percent criminally responsible for their act. ok time to get an update now on the situation in the embattled eastern region in syria defense ministry says almost five thousand militants and their families have been taken from the besieged area to the rebel held province it is part of a deal reached between the militants on the ministries reconsideration center at these pictures filmed by our video agency ruptly show insurgents and their families preparing to leave eastern the russian military ses they opened another checkpoint to let the militants on they were being escorted to adlib by the syrian army one
