headlines this hour a new approach to russia is among the controversial plans confirmed to r.t. by one of the parties poised to form italy's next coalition government. with numerous probes into alleged russian interference in the us elections senators conclude russia did help them get elected despite an earlier house probe finding that there was no collusion and the e.u. leaders reiterate their commitment to the iran nuclear deal and to fostering business ties with the country though for some industry giants it's not enough and east africa's tanzania is accused of violently fixing thousands of indigenous people and burning their homes to make way for luxury tourists.
8:01 am
are welcome as three pm here in moscow you're watching international now a new approach to russia as part of plans confirmed by a two r.t. by sleeze five star movement which is poised to form a coalition government with the league passing. earlier and early unconfirmed draft was leaked to the media and cause some controversy too in the european press let's get more details now he joins us now charlotte as we were saying there these plans of course generated a lot of interest but also caused a lot of concern. yes indeed these it leaked plans in this document that was dated may fourteenth have caused a lot of vexation because many people see these two parties who are from the left and the right side of the political spectrum as being quite radical parties they're anti establishment they're anti e.u.
8:02 am
and already that leaked documents and it details of course some jitters on the stock market with many investors selling off their italian assets when those leaks were put online so what's in the document what's causing this vexation well first of all this document from may fourteenth states that they want to leave the single currency that would mean quitting the euro they also want the european central bank to write off some of italy's debts with two hundred and fifty billion euros they also talk about russia and relations with the country between russia and the e.u. saying that they want to scrap the sanctions that are currently in place against russia and want to see russia as being a trading partner and not a threat and also quite crucially they want to revise the e.u. migration rules that currently exist that's because many people in italy feel that the country is facing a heavy burden as
8:03 am
a result of the migration crisis over the last few years because of the european rules which mean that migrants have to apply for permission to stay in the first country that they set foot on well we have had confirmation from the five star movement that this document is authentic but we've been told that it isn't all document and there have been revisions since that was dated on may fourteenth however we are aware they've told r.t. that there is a final agreement that's already been put in the new agreement on russia but we don't know the wording of that yet but one certainly to watch out for given the ten . between the european union and russia so why is there anxiety about these two parties coming together well as i mentioned they're from the left and the right side of the political spectrum this seen as being anti establishment and some fear that the suggestion that these two parties could form a governing coalition in in italy could actually threaten and destabilize the euro
8:04 am
zone if you think about it italy is one of the three crucial members of the euro soon including france and germany and if you think of it as being a three legged stool if you take one of those legs away then it could just completely collapse all around and that's what many people fear will happen with these two parties if they come together but let's be clear they haven't yet released a final document they're still working on that they want to form this governing coalition so that italy doesn't face fresh elections but there still seems to be some sticking points before that government can be formed interesting stuff ok thanks charlotte the shot had been skewed there thank you. now in other news the republican dominated u.s. senate intelligence committee has concluded that donald trump was elected with the help of the russians it comes after the house intelligence panel though which also has a republican majority absolved the trump of collusion. the russian effort was extensive
8:05 am
sophisticated and old by president putin himself for the purpose of helping donald trump and hurting hillary clinton so we've heard this story countless times but at this time the bipartisan republican led committee found that there was collusion now how is this different from every other story well republicans on the committee actually agreed with fellow democrats that not only did russia interfere in the election but the influence campaign was apparently directed by president putin himself to elect donald trump however just three weeks ago the house intel committee also a bipartisan republican led committee found that there was no collusion the committee found no evidence that meetings between trump associates and official representatives of the russian government reflected collusion coordination or conspiracy with the russian government now the democrats completely dismissed the committee's assessment saying that it was incredible that republicans couldn't see
8:06 am
collusion throughout the investigation committee republicans chose not to seriously investigate or even see when in plain sight evidence of collusion between the trim campaign and russia and guess what democrats have pledged that they'll continue to investigate this collusion so now there's three separate investigations all contradicting each other and we're not even taking into account investigations conducted by the department of justice homeland security other congressional committees and of course the infamous muller investigation all those who phoned. or something who ever found there to be something could not explain what it was so you have to give you an idea of the ludicrous nature of this a number of organizations or tribunals that found no evidence of wrongdoing. some that found at camps desires and the ones that said yes we found something we could not tell you what it was that they found.
8:07 am
the european union has come up with an action plan to keep the iran nuclear deal alive after the us renee on the agreement leaders reiterated their commitment to it as they arrived at the summit in fact to introduce measures to counter u.s. sanctions but as peter all of a now explains european businesses working in iran aren't convinced by the politicians. well they've come together in severe for this is a usama bin plan before but it is the first time that they've all met together since donald trump made that decision to pull the u.s. out of the iran deal now as they were heading into this this summit where we heard from e.u. leaders the real political big guns of the e.u. coming out and saying that they were fully committed to the deal as they signed it but as it is it's one of them of them of getting we will work to maintain the framework of the twenty fifteen deal in spite of the american decision and we will do so in
8:08 am
a concrete manner by maintaining our political engagements by ensuring that our companies can stay in iran and also by getting all parties to pursue negotiations for a larger indispensable deal the twenty fifteen agreement needs to be completed with the nuclear agreement after twenty twenty five and agreements on the ballistic activities and the regional presence of iran mr marquand saying that he wants to keep european companies in iran however the companies themselves what they've been putting out very different messages we heard from the german ensuring giant early on saying they were looking to wind down their operations also the danish shipping company maersk saying they were going to do similar things the most recent name to join not list is the giant petro chemicals company towle who are the french based company there saying well they may well go back on the billion dollars worth of business they said they were going to sign into agreement back in twenty seventeen . to tao will not be in a position to continue the s.p.
8:09 am
eleven projects will have to unwind all related operations before the fourth of november two thousand and eighteen unless toto is granted a specific project waiver but the us authorities with the support of the french and european authorities so there's a lot of talk from the politicians that they're going to be able to protect a business that from u.s. sanctions however the business themselves not too sure they're going to be able to do that if we look at the relationship though between europe and the united states it is at a particular impasse right now i think it's best summed up listen to the e.u. commission president donald tusk he was speaking on wednesday and had this to say looking. further than. one could see them fitting. that. the troika speaking. europe should be grateful. if you knew that.
8:10 am
you will find one of your. policies not winning any friends in europe but that's never really been on the agenda for america first. peter oliver there well amid the rift with the washington's new top diplomat is promising a more direct approach to foreign policy during a close meeting with stuff the secretary of state mike pompei reportedly talked about bringing swagger back to the state department. in all case it's america's essential brightness and it is aggressiveness born of the righteous knowledge that all cause is just special and built upon america's cool principles i don't think it is that's unique to mr pompei i think you have an attitude throughout the political class here in washington that's almost like a like a real recrudescence of the view of the soviet union we are the vanguard of all progressive humanity peace progress is socialism arc east peace progress and human rights and that we are right and everybody else takes their cue from us i think
8:11 am
that kind of arrogance unfortunately is very standard this goes beyond in my opinion just simple patriotism love of country and even a sense that our values are something that are dear to us this seems to set up a kind of amount to limpness attitude that we set up on high and judge everybody else and unfortunately this has been all too familiar not certainly just under this administration but i would say at least since nine hundred ninety one when the cold war ended through the bill clinton george bush and barack obama administration. now africa has their own promoted itself as a safari holiday destination catering in particular to what travel is with it this isn't like they are.
8:12 am
however the reality on the ground is often less glossy safari parks the need to constantly expand their territory and that according to a new study has led the government off the east african state of towns and near to a victory indigenous communities on maps evictions began in the two thousands in between august and september of twenty seventeen alone some twenty thousand people were allegedly left homeless after nearly six thousand homes were deliberately damaged but here are some of the affected villages telling their story. we got to come out of the fight. or not we got the model was kind of like that across that because i want to forget that it was when i met. about that. on the white that there are no we don't but i've got that while you're. on the go with the come on this human element to get an a for like a like you. you know you're so beautiful as a. closer yes there was
8:13 am
a. quarter where you are. going to mel marcus is. that enough to cause or to not. go to those. who are mom when the one visit to one is all good people he says come over and i'm a true legislation and landlubbers in the name of conservation the government or tanzania has been dispossessed in the indigenous. these legislations have been used to be sickly deny them aside their access to grazing lands their access to water holes well not just that it has allowed some of the safari companies that are operating in the area to conclude that the local officials who have been intimidated who have arrested and beaten the villagers because they have tried to use their ancestral lands we also find that they have been violent addictions and
8:14 am
these are all been carried out in the me most rewarding terrorism arsenal dinars and in the absence of food it has led to widespread hunger managership and disease the kind of disposition that the report released you shills are going to the are not to be forced out of their homes and lands with their messiah been forced out of existence well two safari companies were looked into very closely the head of one of them thomson safari strongly denies being involved in the evictions thompson says that his company works with local communities and government improving access to water or the activist on the ground to tell a different story. oh you look at the government reading your twenty percent is coming that you are isn't enough for the bottom line of all this is because you know the proles actually know the social economy well income so if the last realistic price i were at the end of all the livestock but they don't have access
8:15 am
to resources and will look up on prison they look about access to water. is it is a tragedy if i look for example what happened back in two thousand and six the government and mixed it to people from this our own private times and yet the pastoralist but of was the whole soul much of my relation and downwards where the houses were burned you know so. retaliated against those who were in the planning when to being you know it when you live in a place you pronged it you have structure you have a social services and now you hold the just in to the forest so if you ask me well the musée have black market place to live like i don't where they out is where me live in the us their home has come from fifteen here in moscow with you without even going to take a quick bright now will be back in take. free
8:16 am
trade country it's not a capitalist country. believing in competition it's a monopolist country that believes in monopolization and their like to use the dollar as their bludgeon to beat people into submission and if you try to get out of the dollar whether it's syria iran libya or iran but just actually so they're getting our dollar to go to europe you get bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb
8:17 am
bomb bomb why because dollars collateralized by by once. again now let's return to one of our top stories because a new approach to russia is part of plans confirmed by sleeze five star movement which is poised to form a coalition government with the league party an earlier leaked draft also suggested to quitting the euro with the overall tone of the proposals to be deemed and will be discussed this a bit. of the school of political science at university polonia you're very welcome the proposal is there some of them that we listed very controversial what
8:18 am
are the chances of them actually coming becoming a reality. well i'd say that in general terms you have a couple of proposals which could be implemented quite realistically so on the one hand you have a proposal for in adjustment to the pension reform which would probably cost around five billion euros per year and so this should be feasible in fiscal terms and you also have i think a change in terms of the immigration policy which should be feasible in practical terms on the other hand you have some proposals like the proposal of cutting the italian debt by two hundred fifty billion which sounds a bit impractical and also i have some doubts regarding the universal income scheme which was proposed because it will be probably too too costly for the telling budget and how you think brussels is going to react because i mean one of the ones we featured quite heavily is the fact they might lift russian sanctions if they do
8:19 am
manage to form a government this is something that's going to go go against what brussels wants how do you think they'll react. well yes the elimination of sanctions to russia was part of the of the draft of the agreement we do not have a final version of that agreement here so we're discussing about a draft but this is consistent with the policy platform of both parties so both the five star and the league were in favor of lifting sanctions on russia which would be against the general policy of the you as well as the united states which would in a way be the problem in political terms for for the european union yesterday you have a situation where do you immigration commissioner called for italy to maintain the current policy on me question and this was in a way rebuked by mr so the as an interference with italian police must domestic
8:20 am
policy so i think the deal will have a word when it comes to the budget in the fiscal policy. topics but i tend to think that when it comes to domestic policy it's really it's a new internal leaders if they manage to form this government will ask for you know a limitation of interference when it comes to this to stop it with another issue that the euro the potential of leaving the euro perhaps putting it to a referendum do you really think that's going to happen if you look at history all recent history where you saw what happened with greece to you i mean that's not something brussels is going to take lying down is it. yes it is something that would probably be catastrophic for. any european and european economy and this is something based on our on our polling data this something also lead in five star electorates agree on agree that this would be
8:21 am
a huge problem for the time economy and this was by the way removed in a later version of the agreement i have read last night so it looks like this would be part of the final deal and just lastly. the last guest we had on he said look at least italy is strong enough and brave enough to suggest these things to brussels do you think other countries will be looking on with interest just to see what the reaction is from brussels and perhaps start to propose similar things themselves. it could be a possibility i think the key factor here will be. the actual action of the government will be if a government is in place with this platform so rather than the words written in the agreement i think we'll have to see whether this government. actually starts starts governing starts running the country and which policies it actually tries to put into action so this could have an impact on other countries both in terms of the
8:22 am
rhetoric towards europe and in terms of specific actions ok thank you time this afternoon actually runs a program like you lecture at the school of political science at the university of bologna a thank you. how u.s. activists fighting against police brutality he was released after five months in prison claims to be the first victim of a secret f.b.i. surveillance program but i hear all of you in here took part in several anti brutality protests and advocated for the rights of african american gun owners he claims he's been secretly monitored by the f.b.i. since twenty fifteen over his anti police statements the f.b.i. reportedly alleges that by logan made facebook posts in support of a man who killed police officers however prosecutors failed to establish he posed a threat. you know due to the greater part of different coalitions in campaign.
8:23 am
protests we tear out. we are you know for out the way to go out under our own legal charges to. march. as well as you know very sharply require a life changing you know what i mean go produce already will work and querulous the rest to borrow. to look we don't really hear. a lot. publicans lawyers believe he was prosecuted under a new f.b.i. program according to several released documents the bureau is carrying out a special investigation into those deemed to be domestic threats it does focus on so-called black identity extremists well in the case of elegant police confiscated several weapons from his house the activists themselves claims his protest was never violent but black history or is this a way for. our to silly.
8:24 am
who may disagree with the united states of social or economic on our way of life my case he says the crew how the word terrorist is. loose. with a little elastic somewhere we did ask the f.b.i. to clarify the links between the case of black american and also the alleged black and identity stream isp programs the agency said that it doesn't have any comment on this matter. now with less than a month to go until football's biggest tournament does kick off here in russia another world cup recently took place one that raises awareness about rough sleeping children from all around the world well over two hundred homeless young people representing twenty four nations that come to moscow for the street child world cup and former liverpool footballer and r.t.
