a new study into the link between immigration crime spike fears it could exacerbate tensions between the newcomers. a sunny sunday afternoon here in moscow just pm welcome to our to international i'm only our top story almost a year after the opening of the special counsel investigation into donald trump's alleged links to russia u.s. president mike pence say's it's time to bring it to a close. ministrations provided over a million documents we fully cooperated and in the interest of the country i think it's time to wrap it up. well it comes ahead of the first hearing in a criminal case brought by the special counsel against doing russian individuals

three into these they were accused of conspiracy to interfere in the us presidential race it was told all of them were unlikely to ever appear in court but after one company decided to defend itself it turns out robert mueller is team was quite prepared to report february saw the first real results of mahler's investigation finally the russians were being called out directly three companies and thirteen individuals were named and shamed the massive indictment in the robert muller investigation breaking today of thirteen russian special counsel robert most investigation or indicted the russians thirteen russians not only operating overseas but operating right here in the united states but given that those targeted are russian nationals with no worries about extradition to the us no one expected the matter to go any further than media headlines but one company named in the indictment concord management and consulting seemingly called ballers bluff by hiring d.c. attorneys who showed up for the arraignment the plea of not guilty not you think

muller's office would be happy to finally have their day in court but no they tried to put off the hearing on the grounds that the defendant hadn't been properly served which is amazing as being served is just a way of getting the opposing party to show up to court but given that lawyers for concord had done exactly that the judge ruled against that argument it seems borderline immoral to indict someone unless you can prove he's guilty of the crime they did it for one reason only mother needed some russian like dressing on a salad to make his investigation look good the defense attorneys also demanded massive amounts of documents related to the probe things that hadn't been made public and there's no way miller's doing. that just think about it turning over classified information to the people representing a supposedly kremlin linked company court investigators from miller's office that they would have been thrilled to see all of the defendants show up like that was never going to happen and went on to ask if the attorneys represented a catering company listed in the indictment as well the name of which was lost even

on the judge. ok would you like me to do with now a status hearing on the case is scheduled for may sixteenth and will likely know by then if everyone is ready to put all their chips on the table. washington's. shins appear to have become somewhat of a trend in its foreign policy but the latest round of penalties are driving some officials run the bit.

but a state department expert on nuclear proliferation has resigned following donald trump's the sit in to pull out all of the nuclear deal with iran he did not give a specific reason but made it clear that he sold the accord as a success and thought it was working many european leaders say they were taken aback by this isn't bought as paulie boy questions should they have been. our u.s. president risking chaos in the middle east and in case you missed it people are surprised again. don't assume campaign by saying that he'd pull out of the nuclear deal with

iran but now that he's actually followed through with an election promise he's caught everyone off god for some reason the world is shocked and outraged is this don't jump grievous that says it's bed time sprinkling fairly dull stool over the middle east and north stirring up storms of their own just a week or two ago donald trump was being put forward for the nobel peace prize for insulting north korea into the books and news that respected republican president wants that on his c.v. so twelve years of torture is to play received in the wilds which powerful nations a level of complexity rarely seen in global of government came in when but the negotiations pressed on relentless terms of you have the alarm on the deal was you are horrible on the plus side he didn't say very very horrible which and trump well they're more or less a compliment saying that there is wiggle room on parole the orange one said while tearing up the iran deal that it didn't bring calm it didn't bring peace there and

it never will he did not want to read baseball cap when he runs for a second term because one of the message a u.s. president can sell standing with us on i am the egg on my face is europe's big three leader is not prone. to and has and spent a lot of political capital trying to keep trump in the deal christ at least one of them kissed him in the end they learned a vital diplomatic less than kids as many sheets as you like but the u.s. is going to do what it down well please the europeans and russia and china say they are dedicated to keeping the middle east nuclear free apart from. you know if. everyone took the news of trucks with drool in their words. come to me for many a way the europeans. sternly worded statement and iran burned an american flag and it meant israel not the area so perhaps it is reassuring that nothing

really ever changes. but america's european allies say trump's latest the situation risks mining international accord on the west's moral authority. this i think it's not right to unilaterally to handle a deal that was agreed upon that was not and i'm not only approved security council diminishes confort international. elite is never good for us to break the laws that we ourselves helped to create and why because how can you convince powers that occasionally use force or violence that don't respect international rules to follow our example when we don't even follow that example selves it seems that today screaming and shouting insulting and bullying systematically destroying dismantling everything is already in place is the mode of our times. well the

former deputy coordinator for the iran nuclear d's implementation believe that trumps the susan shows disregard for europe now the full interview is going to be shown this sunday on our two worlds apart program for your quick preview. after all the bonamy of the meeting after the supposedly improved atmosphere in the merkel meeting and then he actually treated his intention to make this announcement and sort of telegraphed where it was going while foreign secretary boyce johnson was actually in washington trying to convince vice president pence and secretary of state to continue the negotiations that whether or not he was intending to be rude whether you is trying to send a message this clearly isn't the way allies behave toward others i think you see the united states disregarding the needs and interests of its allies and europe and other allies are going to have to look at this and decide how to respond in order to protect their own concerns president trump is trying to tear down the

accomplishments of his predecessors i think it's pretty clear from his public remarks that he does not understand what was in the way or what is in the g c p a way that also does undermine the position of the united states in the world we are demonstrating that we cannot take yes for an answer and that makes it very very difficult to make credible deals with the united states. polls are open in iraq in the first parliamentary elections there since the defeat of a slum extinct in the country it's a landmark moment not only for the iraqi people but for other countries as well over who will hold power in iraq because the of report depending on whose side you are on these elections can make or break the middle east not because of oil nor riches who that helps neither is it ideology will jihad ists these is all about

friends. first of three leading candidates hi the. current prime minister the best word to describe him is neutral syria stay out of it iran vs america stay out of it yemen stay out he would be buying to iran but neither will he be a poor in america's efforts to isolate iran. candidate number two nobody. former prime minister he makes no attempt to hide his affinity for iran imagine if he gave iran bases in iraq allowed troops and tanks to move from iran to syria the israelis the saudis they will include like that one bit. of.

candidates number three trumps nightmare heidi meeting this guy who's an iraqi himself food on the side of iran during the iran iraq war enough said. i believe the american administration could be the biggest loser from iraqi election we have three camps fighting to when this election that american only have one strong ally which is i doubt i'll always understand what the death and he is trying to keep that alliance with the united states but whether he is going to win this election i have my own doubts i think the two of us that i'll. miss that i'll malik if they are very close to the end and gating a lot of support by that here so i believe they had

a hand until now so you see the problem here one guy doesn't want to get involved in anything one guy is all buddy buddy with iran and the lust is so poor raney and he'll fight you quite literally and even with the weight steeped in its favor america says iran is cheating we have worrisome evidence that iran is trying to influence using money the iraqi elections that money is being used to sway candidates to sway votes it's not an insignificant amount of money we believe and we think it's highly and helpful it's bad so bad that western states are sending ambassadors to end trying to empower and the rocky cleric who has supporters had been killing american troops back in the times of the us intervention he even warned two years ago that americans are a target all forgiven and forgotten you see he doesn't like iran

any day that see rooms military general kassim silliman he looks at the t.v. and is unhappy is a good day for security in the region and looking at. those meetings in saudi arabia will make you very unhappy it all depends on who is side you are on america lost thousands of men in iraq spent a trillion dollars on the war there and to watch it all go to iran that would hurt. to another headline story sweden is borrowing to public pressure for a study into the link between increasing migration and crime levels however stockholm is still uncertain about publishing data that could reveal links between the two due to the current political climate can now be noted that the demand in the suzhou debate on obviated information on the relationship between crimes on the

one hand and dissent and migration on the other hand is so strong that the all thirty needs to consider the possibilities again all the previous study in sweden on my grandson crime was completed over a decade ago back in two thousand and five the country's police have also begun leaving the nationality of criminals in official reports well the push for this latest study comes after around sixty one places in sweden were dubbed no go zones juta the volume of criminal activity it's believed around five thousand known criminals live in those areas.

need to make this clear shift in direction we cannot continue in this direction ten more years society needs to be to do more we need to focus on the serious. work. well under farmer earlier in the scales the story with a member of sweden's democratic party who sais that his country hasn't been honest enough over the impact of immigration immigrants from these countries to create havoc all around europe and you know it's needs you know you need to start this inside sweden the media they need to stop you know protecting them or denying the problems we have with immigration where the information received them from the survey how can it be used productively to solve the problem. well i

think that once people realize once they dare it's you that means you know the causes and the problems from especially some kind of immigrant groups then it's much easier in any division arguments to stop immigration from these countries because in the end. our responsibility is to our citizens and i'm quite sure that you know this survey will be yet another one that will show how the media and the left wing liberals have lied for thirty forty years and about immigration can also say that many people in sweden commit sex crimes but we don't make an issue of their origin. yes there are of course swedish people who commit six riser crimes in general but. the thing is when you have an immigration you need to know how does that immigration affect your country it's better enough if a swede rapes someone that's bad enough we don't need to import more rapes into the

country. former us law mixtape fighters are back in count of the politicians they're asking questions the details in like two seconds. the iran nuclear deal was once seen as a major achievement of american diplomacy but that's no longer the case donald trump's decision to pull out of the deal has reopened a major international problem and they have to analyze betrayed and confused. the world perceives. some officials do not. fully understand or do not fully accept the principle of football being beyond politics that's a fundamental principle of the world. some people may have opinions but

it's their own opinions and doesn't influence opinions of many other football fans who are buying tickets every day in large volumes. welcome back to the program counted as conservative hosts leader ken disparate and wants to know what authorities are doing a by dozens of former fighters who have returned to canada it comes after one of them confessed to the executions in syria in a new york times podcast this individual described how he executed individuals by shooting them in the back they had he said that the people he was shooting deserved

it and he said i know i won't be held accountable he said that a least twice the former fighter who goes by the name of. confessed to taking part in execution style murders of sunni muslim men who had opposed this lamech state he said he decided to leave syria now after his second killing he left the day in twenty fourteen to join the extremist group when he was seventeen who lives in toronto canadian members were told to their surprise this guy is apparently in toronto canadians deserve more answers from this government up so why aren't they doing something i don't. like public safety minister refused to provide details on the status of the exxon as a fighter however he insists that canadians are safe the security agencies are doing their job and the sundra brunow contributor to geopolitical monitor dot com is all of the belief that western governments policy toward syria has encouraged

people to join extremist groups that are. many western governments have taken a very ambiguous line at best and at worse say france united states great britain have to get red line in antagonizing the syrian regime making it seem like it was ok to go and fight for isis given that you were fighting evil regime of assad so definitely they should not be surprised of blowback but at least sixty such fighters will come back from fighting in syria rather than putting fighters in jail and the sort of deep grief after this story and has come out in parliament particularly people conservatives as you can in certain provinces don't like trudeau will definitely make. this into a bigger story and i'm sure that trudeau will probably a price i'll have to explain next election. the us is

changing course in relations with north korea as america's top diplomat has suddenly extended an offer of economic help to pyongyang its part of a deal which would see the korean regime give up its nuclear ambitions north korea takes bold action to quickly denuclearize the united states is prepared to work with north korea to achieve prosperity on the par with our south korean friends. here the move mark see drastic turn in dealing with north korea washington has implemented hundreds of penalties against the country since two thousand and five with nearly half of those coming in the past year and sanctions aren't the only tactic the us has used to apply pressure on pyongyang. only the strongest sanctions will enable us to resolve this problem through diplomacy. if north korea continues its dangerous path we will continue with further pressure that's called

the military option the choice. we will have no choice but to kodaly destroy north korea it will be devastating rocket and should have been handled a long time ago. following comments like those the latest offer of financial help signals a significant change but human rights attorney eric surat can't believe that's unlikely washington will come good all need to deal with the north there's a lot of problems that we face with the credibility of the united states under those circumstances can we make deals whether it's the paris climate deal whether it's the iran nuclear deal what message are we sending to north korea about the durability of an agreement that we enter with them under such circumstances and so you leave the united states is sinking further and further from international customary legal norms in references to treaties and agreements and.

knowledge of them despite the fact that they've been let go she aided by multitude of countries so trust has to be rebuilt by experience it's not built by words it's not built by sheets of paper. a u.s. congressman has asked the trump administration to resume its funding of the controversial syrian activist group the white helmets reports of washington cutting money to the group emerged around a week ago though no confirmation has been issued today here so our teams caleb i've been with more. well ed royce from the foreign affairs committee of the u.s. congress he has met with the white helmets on many occasions with other politicians he's been photographed with them he's a big supporter of the white helmets and now he's calling for their funding to be immediately restored we cannot the bend in the region we must work with the news

and use over to the diplomacy including financial pressure and u.s. assistance to change conditions on the ground the administration should start by immediately reviewing stability thing including through the white house. now already the united states has provided the white house with over thirty two million dollars from the u.s. a id now they also receive funding from various european governments as well as governments throughout the middle east and when it was announced that their funding would be cut there were offers from the united kingdom to fill the gap for the u.k. to provide funding of their own to actually fill up that gap and make up for the loss of funding from the united states they've actually had a close tie with the united kingdom for a long time in fact the white helmets were organized by a former member of m i six they have faced for a long time accusations of having ties with extremist groups as well as the fact that they only operate in rebel held territories that they didn't know why the accusation that they cooperate with the extremist groups now the white helmets of

always claim that they're an impartial organization we've actually heard some very strong criticism cism of them coming from russia and syria and the governments of russia and syria have gone as far as to point out that it appears that a number of their videos have actually been staged in order to effectively serve kind of talking points against the syrian government they're worried how mets have lost their luster they've been widely discredited in the eyes of the whole world as a crime as a propaganda arm western military intervention illegal military intervention in syria mr will carry weight with the way home. she is a republican and he has the support on fortunately the rest of the congress is behind the illegal war and i have to say that this is a good time for u.s. taxpayers to pick up the phone and call their am their congress person at a congressperson island or their senator and say i don't want my tax dollars to be

used to meddle in the internal affairs of a sovereign country that's our stories like this our more updates though literally by the minute on our t.v. set a twitter page don't miss a thing by doing it stay with our two international. the new global economic war is unfolding in the realm of education the right to education is being supplanted by the right to access education. higher education is becoming just another product to compete with and so that it's not
