faces a torrent of criticism from leading european politicians the media for his decision to boldly. studying the link between immigration and crime saying public first such a move is growing. threat to the public parliamentary elections got washington worried. about its policy of countries around. the russian company charge does part of a trump pollution investigation pleads not guilty in court and prosecutors efforts to delay.

a very warm welcome to our international my name. your company our top story. poll the u.s. . nuclear deal has led to a sustained barrage of criticism from europe germany spiegel magazine has been the latest to join the fray summing up the american presidents altitude to his washington's allies with offensive gesture europe's leaders meanwhile. saying they're committed to fighting for their country's interests and are scrambling to save the pike. i think it is not right to cancel a deal that was agreed upon screening and. insulting. that diminishes confidence in the international order systematically destroying dismantling

everything what do we want to be. america's withdrawal from the nuclear deal has made the situation even more towns just so we continue to do business but if we always say that if we don't like things and we can't achieve international borders everyone will do what they feel like that's bad news for the world. well three days after the controversial move the chief inspector of the u.n. nuclear watchdog his resignation then the next day a top nuclear expert at the u.s. state department also walked out neither gave an explanation for their decision pauli boyko no texas sideways look at the fallout from the president's latest gambit. a u.s. president risking chaos in the middle east and in case you missed it people are surprised again. don't you 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 to read us that says it's bed time spring pinkberry dull school over the middle east and north stirring up storms of their own just to we could do a good job was being put forward to the nobel peace prize for insulting north korea into a cool new start respecting republican president was that when his c.v. so twelve years of torture is to play received in the powerful nations a level of complexity rarely seen in global affairs as governments 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 in terms well they're more or less a compliment saying that there is wiggle room on parole the our new 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 when i am to egg on my face is europe's big three to. make the end of hands and spent a lot of political capital trying to keep in the deal christ at least one of them kissed him in the end they learned a vital diplomatic less than kid as many gz 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. everyone tech been use of trucks with drool in their income. to me for many a way the europeans. done a worded statement to iran burns an american flag and it meant israel area

perhaps it is reassuring that nothing really ever changes. pauli boyko well a former u.s. deputy coordinator for the iran nuclear deal has told r.t. that trumps the solution shows a disregard for europe he tells sunday's worlds apart some of the president's riding roughshod over his efforts. after all the bonhomie 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 voice 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 he was trying to send a message this clearly isn't the way allies behave towards one another 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 predecessor i think it's pretty clear from his public remarks that he does not understand what was in the air 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. let's bring it to sweden where authorities could soon to public pressure and conduct a study into whether there's a connection between increasing migration and crime levels but leaders are still wary about publishing any data that could reveal links between the two citing the current political climate it can now be noted that the demand in the social debate

on obviated information on the relationship between crimes on the one hand and dissent and migration on the other hand is so strong the thirty needs to consider the possibilities again. you know just some background to this the last study in sweden on migrants in crime was done in two thousand and five two years ago the police decided to emit criminals nationalities in official reports and the push for this latest study comes after sixty one areas in sweden were labeled no go zones where it's thought to run five thousand known criminals currently.

need to make it clear shift in direction we cannot continue in this direction or years society needs to do more we need to focus on the serious. well member of sweden's democrats party told under a farmer that he thinks leaders aren't being honest enough about the impact of immigration immigrants from these countries create havoc all around europe and you know it's needs you know you need to stop this is cited sweden the media they need to. you know protecting them or denying the problems we have with immigration where the information received them from this how can it be used productively to solve the problem. well i think that once people realize and one once they

dare to admit it's you know the causes and the problems from specially some kind of immigrant groups then it's much easier in any gives an argument 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 on 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 fraser crimes in general but it's that 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 it's better not we don't need to it import more rapes into the

country. voting hers are wrapped up in iraq in the first parliamentary election there a sense of the feet of us law makes state last year and there's a lot at stake not just for the iraqi people but for the other powers in the region as rotten as they have looks and depending on whose side you're on these elections can make or break the middle east not because of oil nor riches though that helps neither is it ideology or jihad ists this 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. candid 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. candidates number three trumps nightmare. meeting this guy who's an iraqi himself fought 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 win this election that many can only have one wrong ally which is. always stood up. 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 that. if there are very close to the end and gating a lot of support but i'm not here so i believe they have 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 with her 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 would believe and we think it's highly and how. it's bad so bad that western states are sending ambassadors to trying to empower and iraqi cleric who's 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 you could 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 juran 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. almost a year after the opening of the united states special counsel investigation into donald trump's alleged links to russia vice president mike pence say's it's time to bring it to a close. our administration has provided over a million documents we fully cooperated and in the interest of the country i think it's time to wrap it up it comes ahead of the first hearing in a criminal case brought by the special counsel against thirteen russian individuals and three entities they were accused of conspiracy to interfere in the us presidential race it was thought all of them were unlikely to ever appear in court but after one company decided to defend itself it turns out i had robert team wasn't quite prepared as jacqueline phooka reports. february saw the first real

result of miller'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 cold dollars 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 have 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 muller 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 aim of which was lost even on the judge. ok would you like me to do with now the 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. form a slow mixtape find harbach encounter them that's going to m.p.'s asking questions

we've got the details in ninety seconds. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see if. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. theory dramatic developments only. exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. was one 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 lies betrayed and confused. the world's prissie. eighteen minutes into the program welcome a canadian opposition leader is the munging to know what's being told by dozens of former fighters who have returned to canada it comes after one of them admitted carrying i'd executions in syria in a new york times podcast. and you can do this and i can be held accountable and i just kept looking down at his feet i don't want to look at his head and then. i kept thinking we killed them this individual described how we 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 he said he decided to leave syria after his second killing whose ridgeley left town and then twenty fourteen to join the extremist group when he was seventeen he's not bark interop too much to empty surprise. this guy is apparently in toronto canadians deserve more answers from this government up so why aren't they doing something about this dispute over. what kelly of his public safety minister refused to provide details on the former fighters current status but he insists that canadians are safe and that security agencies are doing their job. who's

a contributor to geo political monitor dot com thinks western governments policy toward syria of encourage people into becoming extremists many western governments have taken a very ambiguous line at best and at worst it's a france united states great britain have to 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 this is not the surprise of blowback at least sixty such fighters will come back from fighting in syria rather than putting fighters in jail of the sort of deep grief after this story and has come out in parliament. typically people conservatives as you can in certain provinces don't like to do so will definitely make. this into a bigger story and i'm sure that too probably price will have to play it for next

election. if they did taunt between the u.s. and north korea appears to be holding steady pyongyang has said it wants journalists from around the world to come in witness its dismantling of a nuclear test facility later this month the united spent comes after america's top diplomat promised that kim regime economic aid if it gives up its atomic arsenal to 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 well the comments represent a dramatic u.s. policy shift on north korea in the past thirteen years washington has imposed hundreds of trade penalties on the isolated country nearly half of those were implemented in the past twelve months on sanctions haven't been america's only tactic for exerting pressure in 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 carnally destroy north korea it will be devastating rocket and should have been handled a long time. well relations now appear to be moving in the right direction although human rights attorney or ex rock into lists the u.s. still needs to make good on its promises and that words alone are not enough. 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 around 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 chile the united states is sinking further and further from international customary legal norms in references to treaties and agreements and revoking them pulling out of them despite the fact that they've been negotiated by a 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 is calling on the trump administration to resume its funding of the controversial syrian activist group the white helmets reports emerge that we could go that washington was planning to cut the cash alone there still being no confirmation 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 band and the region we must work with the news and use over to the diplomacy including financial pressure and u.s. assistance to help change conditions on the ground the administration should start by immediately reviewing stability including through the white house. now already the united states has provided the white helmet 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 house 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 of the only operate in rebel held territories that they didn't know why the accusation that they cooperate with the extremist groups now the real white helmet have always claimed 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 the way to how meds 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 ruiz will carry weight with the white house. he is a republican and he has the support unfortunately 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 and their congress person 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. or own three fellows and people are protesting in the capital of the former soviet republic of georgia following overnight drug raids on two clubs. the country's ministry of internal affairs sings eight dealers were arrested but demonstrators say police used excessive force and the third operation was quote a deliberate provoke they should also say the ministry fabricated evidence that the venue's are used as major drug trafficking points the protesters are not calling for the interior minister's resignation the raids come in the wake of

a string of drug related deaths among party goers in tbilisi in recent weeks. you know it's one of the stories kevin ollie will be keeping a close eye on in the coming hours he's here in half an hour's time but next the pentagon has been audited for the first ever time at least camps being doing this redacted tonight starts right. now the war hawks sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles. that you thought to try to tell you that but because of the public fell. off the bad guys and you pulled it out by. all the hawks that

we all. know what. global economic war is unfolding in the realm of education the right to education is being supplanted by the right access to education. higher education is becoming just another product to compete in the song and it's not just about education anymore it's also about running a business where you good models of those you can look good it's also not true i mean it really could i mean. what is the place of students in this business model for college i was born now i'm running stream reborn education the new global economic war. or our road.

traffic. accident i like the comedy show where americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents who are i'm never going to tell you about one of the largest most sensor on reported overdog stories in the world it's tough to overstate the depth and impact of this story it has connections to corruption in media and war in the environment the almighty dollar and what sort of brain eating fungus kanye west has come down with it's all in there it's all in there the pentagon is being audited right now for the first time ever it's taking two thousand four hundred auditors to do the job and while that is big news i have something much bigger for you much bigger a couple of years ago professor mark skidmore heard catherine austin fitts former

assistant secretary in the department of housing and urban development say that the department of defense inspector general had found. six point five trillion dollars worth of unaccounted for spending in twenty fifteen and skidmore. and skidmore being an economics professor thought she mean six point five billion dollars not trillion because trillion would mean the pentagon misplaced more money than the gross domestic product of the whole of the united kingdom. but still still six point five billion dollars of unaccounted for money is even saved it's crazy all right it's crazy you know or so he went and he looked into the inspector general's report and he found something interesting it was true oh yeah i was. i was young i was like twelve dollars twenty fifty you know on it counted for bad.
