in the seventeen year campaign despite the constant turnover of commanders the latest us watchdog report says that the campaign has brought little good to afghanistan. it is good. right. and some in afghanistan who had hoped that america's presence would assure in a new era of peace and stability have paid a heavy price as america now expects back in august twenty sixth an afghan man named his son after donald trump but that was before television for the white house
2:31 pm
now after being inspired by trump's business achievements outlined his books the afghan man hope that giving his son the same name would bring about the same sort of luck but it was very happy to name a child after the best politician and i hope he will become a politician like donald trump as well i gave my son this name to make him lucky and i want to see him is smart and mindful as donald trump but that's backfired miserably the family was driven out of their hometown because his community took issue with the child's non muslim name now he's proportionately fled afghanistan after seeing the reaction to my son's name and also the taliban directed assassination of the man who awarded president trouble i don't feel safe this comes after the taliban assassinated one of the afghan men who minted a gold medal honoring the us president back in january cold in the b. and his friend a far hot party raise money to produce a special gift for donald trump to thank the state department for
2:32 pm
a toughened stance on pakistan we are suspending security assistance security assistance only to pakistan at this time intill the. stanley government takes decisive action against groups including the afghan taliban gombe was killed by the taliban and that's according to a taliban spokesperson sadly appreciation for donald trump isn't exactly body armor his friend who was involved in producing the medal for. now fears for his life and he blames washington for failing to protect them. the americans are offering can help us in fact we were deceived because we thought the americans really appreciates all work and our intentions we thought the u.s. is a superpower and values friendship but it doesn't nearly seventeen years ago the u.s. invaded afghanistan to eradicate terrorism but after all these years to even those who still have trust in washington it seems that it can't be protected so american on. washington d.c.

. now russian journalist has been shot in the capital but the fact that the car was a staunch critic of the kremlin seen here point the finger straight even before any official investigation the she said she explains. was a forty one year old russian journalist who died from gunshot wounds in ukraine's capital kiev he was found in his apartment by his wife who called the emergency services but he later died from these injuries now but it was a war veteran correspondent he works for a number of russian media outlets as well as being a contributor to the b.b.c. and the guardian he was well known though for his criticism of russia's actions in syria and ukraine and took part in many opposition movements as well off that he left russia in february last year he moved to settle in ukraine to work as a t.v. host now local police in kiev believes that his journalistic activities are probably one of the main reasons behind his killings pap's judging his criticism of
2:34 pm
the kremlin in the past now they also say though that he never reported any threats to his life or asked for security assistance. now ukrainian m.p. anton publicly stated that putin's regime is targeting those who are unbreakable but russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov has said before this investigation has even started the thing that is quick to be pointed out to russia. this is becoming a trend for example the scruples unsubstantiated accusations but let's investigate them later the use of a chemical substance and duma they said was responsible the investigation hasn't started yet but that's bomb. and then other tragedy last night's russian journalist a car. was shot in his own home. prime minister already says that was carried out by the russian security services the investigation hasn't even started yet the russian foreign ministry has also underlined the alarming number of violence
2:35 pm
against journalists in ukraine that's cost our minds back to some of these where russia has been falsely blames. was a crane in russian journalist who dies in two thousand and fifteen now russia was immediately blamed for the death but he was killed by ultra right activists for his pro russian views and moving on to share met a russian ukrainian to nest who was killed in two thousand and sixteen not by the russians but by a bomb detonated by ukrainian executed services and in two thousand and seventeen then a spot on and off the former russian deputy was killed but was russia behind this night was closer to home his wife's ex-boyfriend ordered the killing now back to where the police have ruled out suicide but now the russian investigative committee have opened up their own investigation and have urged authorities to look closely into the matter. reporting with amnesty international however has said it is worried about ukraine's ability to ensure freedom of speech in the country and
2:36 pm
protect journalists some of the concerns are shared by russia analyst and author martin mccauley he believes this latest murder does prove that you cry. isn't safe for journalists the craniums will make a big big scene out of this and say this is what happens to any russian journalist who comes to ukraine and criticizes russia i think kicking it has been a dangerous place for russian journalists because russian journalists been killed before. threats have been made against them and so on it's a high risk profession and many journalists have been murdered throughout the world therefore they must exist. so this will in fact heighten the tension among journalists in ukraine that they have to really watch their back and be more careful and look after security. watching out international going to take a quick break now be back in.

i'm max kaiser one more of my guide to financial survival this is. a device used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right these hedge funds are simply not accountable and we're just getting more and more to that. totally destabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get in for a while because we're. still.
2:38 pm
well again you without saying i don't know trump's repeatedly called the investigation into alleged collusion with russia a witch hunt but according to one democrat that some move straight to the kremlin's playbook. expects according to a top democrat in congress if you use the term which aren't and you say it over and over and over again which which are and which you may be a dupe of the kremlin listen to maxine waters talk about trump he's a lying about which but you notice he says which over and over again he has learned some of the russian tactics about how you you know deal with getting people to believe you you say it over and over again so repeating something over and over and
2:39 pm
over again is a russian thing that may not be the wisest thing for the democrats to say they've had the same song on repeat for roughly two years russia has hacked into a lot of things the criminal clan russia was meddling in our election russia undermined hillary clinton told russian hacking operation these hacks have taken place by russians intelligence committee says that russia is behind this in some form its goal to do with russia and of course ian brown sugar rush is a russian so if trump invented the term which why did the democrats use that exact same term back in the one nine hundred ninety s. when bill clinton's sex scandal was all over the headlines smells like a double standard to me speaking of double standards remember how the democrats pounded the podium against gina haskell the new cia chief there are two reasons that i oppose this nomination miss haskel support for torture and her willingness to destroy evidence of the cia's use of torture and i have serious concerns about.
2:40 pm
her confirmation and what kind of signal sent this lady is the real do i'm telling you we're here with everything we possibly think she answered didn't flinch at all well it turns out that while this controversial. a geisha in program was going on democrats in congress were getting briefings the entire time and did nothing about it and now after the dog and pony show at the hearings is over gina haskell is getting the job and why is gina haskell the new cia chief because two democrats voted for term intelligence committee looks poised to endorse president trump's pick to head the cia gina haskell today this clears to pass her confirmation of cia director if she gained support from democrat senate democrats back when she was secretary of state hillary clinton was always criticizing countries around the world for their human rights record she even pushed obama to send cruise missiles to libya back in two thousand and eleven supposedly to defend human rights yet at the same time her personal foundation the clinton foundation had no problem getting
2:41 pm
donations from the very countries that she was criticizing and sooty arabia giving twenty five billion dollars are all of these countries you talk about women or women's rights so these are people that push gays. buildings these are people that kill women and treat women horribly and yet you take their money so the democrats talk one way and act another i'm not sure where we're finding all these russian tactics they're constantly making reference to because they seem to be practicing double standards all along. r.t. new york. bridge financier he's wanted in russia for tax fraud was briefly detained earlier today in spain before being released. has more on that. in december of last year bill browder was sentenced by a moscow court to nine years in prison for fraud and tax evasion back in the ninety's browder was one of the biggest foreign investors in russia but everything eventually went south and his firm was investigated for tax fraud earlier today he
2:42 pm
tweeted that he had been arrested by spanish police in madrid showing a picture of the arrest warrant which listed fraud as the criminal charge shortly after however he posted that he had been released claiming interpol advised the spanish national police to not honor the red notice which is essentially an international arrest warrant and accused russia of abusing the international police organization but for their part interpol has said there never has been such a notice for broader and spanish police said the warrant they have on file simply turned out to no longer be valid adding browder was not arrested today simply detained rather may have been making assumptions based on past situations where interpol refused to enforce russian warrants for him doing them politically motivated something moscow denies there's a long history between russia and broader and he is the man behind the u.s. magnitsky act a law that blacklist russian officials accused of corruption or human rights violations it's named after sergei magnitsky who worked for broader corporation and was arrested and found dead in his moscow prison cell in two thousand and nine ever
2:43 pm
since broader has condemned the russian government and sought to hold as many people responsible for magnitsky death as possible. now we can show you some dramatic pictures from moscow right at the moment because a massive fire is raging in the southeastern part of the city at a paper recycling facility more than sixty five fight is currently working at the scene here they do say they've managed to localize the fire but as you can see the flames still pretty strong still an awful lot of smoke it's not clear what started this blaze and there's no information either on any possible casualties but of course we'll keep across it and bring you updates. london police are going after rap music come one form in particular in a bid to curb the disturbing rise in street violence officers think the genre known as drill is behind a surge in stabbings and murders and even asked you tube to act often and we've
2:44 pm
seen this in london we have gangs screaming drill videos in those videos the taunt to shudder and see what they're going to do to each other and specifically what they're going to do to who very quickly you will see these are socially treated lyrics which are bad glamorize in violence serious violence the video sharing giant is already deleted some thirty videos after police complaints drew music originated in chicago and gained its name from a slang term for automatic weapons it has been picked up by performers in britain the lyrics often contain reference to the tough side of street life we spoke to the rap artist nova who says that removing rap content from the internet is hardly the best way to fight violence. i think they're fun to paint a picture of young black you as being criminals and trying to villainize them and take away the responsibility from themselves perhaps take away the responsibility from the from the system from the government. i don't actually believe that the intention of this is even to remove violence because removing music videos from the
2:45 pm
internet is not going to remove violence we need to look at those communities see what's going on to see what help they're actually in the address of. and give them more support music is actually saving watts of these children's lives. and rap music isn't the only things being blamed the moment either because some video games are now being targeted a recent school shootings first person shooter games a steering much the cry critics now insist they should be restricted rap artists know of are again says that people should decide for themselves what is acceptable never experience any incident where we're at music instigate violence and i've witnessed violence i'm actually from the same kind of community these young for whom i have witnessed one as i've witnessed lots of the things these young rappers are talking about and violence was never the music was never the reason any of those things happened or any of us were involved in that was worrying how far i could go because what was next who gets the decision to say this one is too violent this one is ok when those things are taken out of our hand and definitely if
2:46 pm
they're put in the hands of the police who have already been proven to use braces tactics to target those communities. and that brings you up to date as i things in the piece a faucet i hear and i say we're back with more at the top and. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i know you on the list is a huge star among us and a huge amount of pressure come out you have to go meet the center of the football with you and we will show you all the great game the british get you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the ball going let's go. to a low. and i'm really happy to join the for the two thousand and three and world cup
2:47 pm
in russia meet the special one it was also appreciated me to just say the review the aussie team's latest edition make up a bigger than a better jersey look at. the american political soap opera widely known as russia gate appears to have no wind well no evidence has been revealed the trump campaign colluded with russia there is mounting evidence the intelligence community or should i say the deep state monitor believin spied on from world. forman are sitting in a car when the fifth gets shot in the head. all four different versions of what happened one of them is on the death row there's no way he could have done it there's no possible way because the list did not shoot around
2:48 pm
a corner. fifty years ago breaking within two cons again as a sleeping pill. this is what i believe because. the side effects were terrible but not on the road. across europe victims are starting legal battles demanding at least some compensation in two ways first will the physical damage itself as well with the constant reminder that the people who actually perpetrated this crime has never been able to justice and there's been a couple. of .
2:49 pm
the imaginary times are we going underground as edinburgh hosts the annual general meeting of the bailed out majority nationalized royal bank of scotland ahead of possible tory government privatization coming out of the chair with the murder rate in the austerity hit british capital overtaking new york city is probably censorship of music videos on you tube a sign of desperation we speak to someone who represented one hundred twenty thousand cops steve white former chair of the police federation and taking our liberties that's what growing them seamlessly for the newest track but claims inspired by successive trays i'm a scandal's from with rush to grant felt to the creation of a british hostile environment all the civil coming of a days going underground but first as the e.c.b. desperately tries to prop up italian defacto junk bonds after the imposition of an i.m.f. man as prime minister austerity in britain is arguably leading to bizarre threats to freedom of speech sadly i have had to look at quite a lot of drill music you can access it sadly also very easily not so easily now
2:50 pm
thanks to her who is the boss of britain's largest police force because u.k. police have repeatedly had you choose. more than half their catalog of drill music videos well multi-billion dollar corporate hollywood films arguably glamorize violence there is no room for art alleged to articulate u.k. in a city violence by independent musicians well as british police try to get to grips with u.k. violence on the streets by censoring music videos i'm joined now by the former chair of the police federation representing one hundred twenty thousand police officers steve white steve thanks for coming back on i'm going to ask of to your cable going underground last explaining very forensically what was wrong with government policy why you're no longer cheering the police federation now well i've moved on we move on in our professional careers and you know i had a great experience being the chairman but i feel as though there's more that i could give to the rest of policing and that's what i'm doing now because it seems so sudden and the papers are full of stories and speculator freemasonry you know
2:51 pm
lots of things but i think it's given me an opportunity to talk a little bit freer about some concerns that i've got within the culture of of policing the culture of prisons got to change it's got to change to keep pace with the new way of policing and of course the new the massive new wave of different types of offenses that we've now got to deal with and of course you know draw music is one of those issues and we've got to have a culture in the police service the commission on to that and so you know it's enabled me to speak a little bit freer about about issues such as that which is really important if the police are going to continue to evolve and to professionalize and to be able to address those issues we're going to drill me sick it is good but you did feel presumably when you were chairing it that your concerns were shared in the main by the rank and file of officers oh yeah absolutely and of course we've now got a new home secretary who's going to have quite a challenge in terms of delivering what he spoke about at the recent police
2:52 pm
federation conference and i think it's going to be interesting to see how that that thinking within government may have changed i'd like to think there. played a part in that in the three and a half years that i was the police federation chairman rebuilding those links with government because you know you can be antagonistic towards government if you want and it's relatively easy to do that but what's a bit harder is to actually work with them to say these are some of the real issues that need to be resolved some of that is about resources some of it as i ses around the changing culture and some of it is actually understanding what it takes to police the u.k. in the twenty first century and of course the rank and file are absolutely the people that you need to be speaking to malaysian to that before you get to the new home secretary such a job if you go over to the disgrace to the road had to resign who proudly said that is brother was a police officer just take us back to us what has happened to law and order in this country since terrorism into the government as more of
2:53 pm
a home secretary and and of course now minority government prime minister well of course we've been through a huge tranche of austerity for for seven or eight years now which has meant that there hasn't been the money in some public services that perhaps we could argue and i used to argue should have been pushing in those resources i think the interesting thing is that as new offenses now come online and as the government is now beginning to look at issues around cyber crime and digital offenses which is really coming to the fore now i think the beginning to realise that the changing nature of crime means that we've got to start reinvesting into the service and you've got a situation where even some of the more traditional crime types which i have said for quite some time has been on the rise now i think the government is either recognising that that type of more traditional crime whether it be around knife crime whether be around acquisitive crime property crime burglary robbery unfortunately they are on the rise and we've got to be able to tackle that now it's
2:54 pm
not just a case of throwing money at the service but it is certainly a case of the service understanding how it's going to use its resources. better in the future the service has got to continue to evolve in the same way as any business has in terms of responding to demands and at the moment we're lacking a little bit behind there's a little bit more hype and just a bit of this in context obviously crime in london murders of golar by forty four percent others more dangerous than new york city we've had sixty killed in twenty eighteen you're this is really traditional because this call the world to dick you recognize what you say about a reduction in police violence is resorting to stopping you tube videos seems a bit bridges strange reaction to that kind of level of increase there's there's a huge issue facing the british police service in terms of where we're where we're going to put our resources and what the priorities are launching said if
2:55 pm
everything's a priority there nothing surprise and of course over the past few years quite rightly so there's been a huge increase in focus around terrorism and an issue such as that and of course we have been incredibly successful but nothing key is entirely successful and we've seen those awful attacks that we had over twelve months ago in manchester and indeed in london in london bridge. very resource intensive those resources are going to come from somewhere and i think what you're now seeing is that as as those resources have been diverted from one priority to another now we're beginning to see the effect in terms of the service reporting an increase in these crimes it's very complex it's not as easy to get you in a war because on the beat because of terrorism arguably catalyzed foreign policy well that is the simply aren't as many police officers now as they used to be so you know there isn't as many police officers aren't as used to be yeah exactly and so that's pretty that's pretty straightforward some will say yes but actually you
2:56 pm
know bodies on the beat want to they actually contribute to to reducing crime will certainly they contribute to a certain extent in making people feel safer but strangely enough if you see a lot of arm place around as they certainly do in london c o m and bob reasonably well but but but the point is we want to see a lot of police officers carrying guns and it actually alarms people rather than reassures the able i think people who are more police on the streets don't want them i would like machine guns and i would probably agree perth course now we've got certain parts of the u.k. like devon and cornwall for example talking about routinely arming police officers because they have a huge geographic area not very many police officers and they need to be able to respond to the threat whatever that may may be in a timely manner so they're now beginning to talk about actually police officers carrying sidearms perhaps now i don't think anyone particularly wants to see a fully armed police service in the yard natural during the summer visit to london where we're oh well yeah well we'll see what donna says but this is you know this
2:57 pm
is for us to decide in this country but you know going back to my original point that the police service has a whole tranche of responsibilities a whole tranche of new things that it's got to respond to and if everything is a priority the nothing's a priority so whether it be obvious on the p. whether be responding to knife crime whether be responding to the murders that are happening. whether be responding to you tube videos we've got to decide what the priority is and make sure the resource is there to be able to deal with it see the twenty sixteen move or winner deborah a purveyor of drill music said that all this kind of stuff with you tube let alone would you're saying about emphases budget is so very huge it was a distraction from things that affect schools youth clubs social housing the cuts in all of these aspects of society civic society at large. i mean do you think the you tube videos for instance of the big reason why we've seen an upsurge in murder
2:58 pm
well i'm certainly not an expert in that area but of course i think there is a huge amount of material on the internet which i think a lot of people could interpret as being offensive. that probably could just as it was in medieval times in the inner city loved well obviously not me but it but i yeah and look at the record there in terms of keeping people alive i suppose but of course you know the issue is whether or not large companies such as you tube can self police to a certain extent you know i would probably tend to think that it shouldn't be down to the police service to be going to an organization such as you choose and saying you want to be taking this down one would hope that they would have the understanding in the morality to be able to turn on a saturday that is not appropriate now i'm not making a judgement on the genre of true music at all because quite frankly i don't really know it and we have a huge of to go on yes there has to respond to that right and draw music to me was
2:59 pm
when i was a was a police recruit marching on the parade ground to liberty bell very definitive are you sure. but i don't think it's for the place to say whether or not a joiner at ease is right or wrong but it is the job of the place service to do though is to uphold the law and if the law says that you're not allowed to put some of this stuff out incite violence then the service has got to to respond. sure there are a freedom of speech concerns there and i should say south london or chicago where which also has it influence what about the fact that sajid javid supports the increased use of stop and search which we know disproportionately targets people of color but i think the important thing around stop and search is that it's always been a very useful tool for the police service what we had were concerns you know the statistics that you sort of alluded to there that painted a picture that was concerning of course since since that happened some years ago and there was a decrease in use a stop and search in terms of the reeducation in the trying to police officers that
3:00 pm
has changed quite consider the reeducation. black people eight times more likely to be still could be searched no we're talking a lot i'm not here to defend particular areas where that might pose abilities to do what what i'm saying is that it's a valuable tool it needs to be used in the right way and i think the vast majority of members of the public out there would understand that if you if there's a police officer you had grounds to suspect that someone might be carrying something illegal then it makes absolute sense for the police officer be able to establish whether or not it's thought that that is the code isn't targeting of the working classes in the premiership black footballers don't get in search nearly as much as well i think the lead up of the show service is to make sure that people don't feel as though it's being. targeted in that kind of a way because that is not the point of the legislation or the power now it's very important to be able to use the power appropriately and to be able to justify it in fact every time one of these searches takes place.
