in turn in the markets was a message to italian voters for next time that if they vote with the euro skeptics then well they will see financial troubles on the horizon well mr has road back from those comments now but he was also criticized at the time by some of his closest allies donald the european council president and sean claude young of the european commission president all saying this isn't the type of language you should be using as a member of the commission from the populist solve norden and the five star movement world they were outraged by mr ting is comment saying that he was the type of person it viewed italy just a place to go on holiday sensually these comments from they played right into the hands of the euro skeptics because they are now getting ready for new elections which could come as soon as september they can now say to their voters look we said last time they were trying to take your sovereignty away look what they did when we

try to put in place a government in italy so it was ultimately left to the european commission president to try and smooth things over between the populists and euro skeptics in italy and the commission in brussels it's in his fate does not lie in the hands of the financial markets regardless of which political party may be in power italy is a founding member of the european union that has contributed immensely to european integration the commission is ready to work with italy with responsibility and mutual respect italy deserves respect as i said those elections in italy could come as soon as september and between now one polling day we're sure to be a lot of people keeping an eye on what comments are coming out of brussels with regards to which feat which direction it to the should proceed in the future. the euro skeptic coalition failed to form a government after the italian president rejected their choice of finance. minister

he was seen as european the president then appointed a pro europe prime minister fresh elections are now on the horizon have also been calls for a petition to change the constitution to have a directly elected president we spoke to and he paid for the five star movement ignazio career belief that there's a problem with democracy in the it was a lie that mr warner the minister was appointed from the core lesion of moment in the league was going to blog blog blog the eurozone or make italy exit the european union and that corner of the war nor main show of exiting the eurozone nor mention of leaving the european union this is a big lie that was created by the mainstream and all the st louis political parties see that majority of people either. exercise the. brain in the

choosing choosing represented their representative in the parliament and then this majority is top to buy something there is a problem of democracy there are counter is the thing to do you on your own will be along to there and i'm referring to germany of course because for example the what the commissioner appointed by the german government to say yes that mr good thing or say that. the markets have to teach italians how to ward as i was mentioning before we cannot accept that we are going to play the role of be calling me of some other counties. the doctors who treated the ex russian spy sergei script his daughter following the poisoning in the british city of souls pre march other paid in a b.b.c. documentary on this amnesty churkin has been looking into what new things we've learned about the case. this is a b.b.c. newsnight programme documentary has certainly highlighted some more curiosities

about the whole script all saga adding just a little bit more mystery to this whole story if you didn't have enough already now this is a firsthand account of the medical staff doctors and nurses that were treating this compiles when they were admitted to hospital in solsbury following the poisoning and for starters some of the things described in this documentary were that initially it was assumed that the script all had experienced an opiate overdose and there were no extra precautions taken in that regard there was no indication of the fact that there was a gent and therefore we take no more protection when any patient comes in which has no point taken any extra precautions in terms of protecting ourselves the screwballs were found on a park bench back in march on march fourth on a sunday they were taken to hospital then by tuesday police officer nick bailey was admitted into the hospital and then only after it was that based off of red

flagging from a scientific lab porton down that it was revealed that a nerve agent had been used and despite all this and all the talk of the harm that this nerve agent potentially being what it is could cause this compiles were sort of miraculously cured and this is something that a doctor in this documentary describes as well that it came as a surprise how quickly they had recovered meanwhile a russian chemical expert that we spoke to said that the symptoms associated with an opioid overdose would be very different from those associated with a nerve agent poisoning which most of them with police reports grupo was swinging back and forth while seated on the bench and also raised his hands multiple times this description resembles a drugs overdose and the initial version was the scruples were suffering from friends a new. reasoning total sloan's of military groups substance poisoning or rapid

pupil constriction spasms and you really incontinence all the symptoms are absent from the initial reports and photos well certainly lots of curious details and to this day it seems clear that there are still lots and lots of details in this whole case to be addressed after the incident the u.k. accused russia of carrying out the attack saying only moscow had the means and the motive as well as a track record russia's repeatedly denied that it had anything to do with the salzburg poisoning he said other countries develop and made clear that the traded script elenor high profile spy swap and that the former agent posed no threat to the country's interests or sco also says the fact is being denied access to uli scrip our russian citizen is suspicious the former un chemical weapons expert anton told us that it's hard to fathom how the medical staff avoid the toxic exposure themselves given that they weren't wearing protective gear for the first few days. well it seems to me that there was no. any poisons

on the skin or on cloth of the patients because they would be stripped of their cloth and they would be. too. hard trade you know other staff and of course there would be contact between the personnel and the victims so it seems that. raises more questions of how the agent was introduced in their bodies how they were exposed. fortunately the surgeon bailey was also exposed and look he actually contacted with scruples for just about several minutes and he was exposed but the person now who dealt with scruples was not exposed.

donald trump has repeatedly called the investigation into alleged collusion with russia a witch hunt according to one democrat it's a move straight out of the kremlin's playbook killam open explains. according to a top democrat in congress if you use the term which on to and you say it over and over and over again which of 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 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 to overt russian hacking operation these hacks have

taken place by russians intelligence committee says that russia is behind this in some form it's goal to do with russia and of course the embarrass sure russia is the 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. her confirmation and what kind of signal 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 interrogation 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 her to an intelligence committee looks poise. to indorse 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 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 and women's rights so these are people that push gays office 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. french authorities admit the decision to ban the from the french president's residence was made to quote high a level i think buses won't even speak to a representative auntie france correspondent. who was carrying the press card needed to enter the police a palace for a libyan conference but place a veil that anyone working quote all for this channel is now barred. this is something you. can only see six about what parts of your moment you should be so you can check with look at this it was like a button with american troops should it. be said it was an.

first time this channel has been singled out and blocked from covering an event by the french leaders team here r.t. correspondent police boy who was banned from entering my headquarters for the first round of the presidential election campaign despite being promised the credit. for the sake of a little humility and with a little more. on. it for you right now maybe you can make. the story up for. the one thing that. we've talked to him about engine this little river he thinks that my trance trying to control the media coverage of his actions this is a bit funny in a way you know that most of my core decides who is a good journalist and it was a bad one but the problem is that we are getting deeper into this system of

organizing to nukes the press is not welcome in the immediate environment of jupiter mark lloyd doesn't want the press any more the four presidents were accompanied by several camera months of journalists going to them sometimes so this channel sometimes this other channel and people were welcome at press conferences this is finished now he has his own cameras and it is edited the pictures are edited before they are given to the real press so that the press doesn't like it they don't like being manipulated by mr michael. dunn in terms appointed a new commander of u.s. and nato forces in afghanistan in two thousand and one shortly after the nine eleven attacks washington said that it was intervening to get rid of terrorists and it's never left the attorney general of the eighteenth commander in the seventeen year campaign despite the constant turnover of commanders the latest us was the group or it says that the campaigns brought little good to afghanistan.

it is good. right. and some enough gonna stand he would hope to america's presence would assure the new period of peace and stability well they've paid a heavy price explains. back in august twenty sixth teen an afghan man named his son after donald trump but that was before trump's top television for the white house 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 will be very happy to name our child off to 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 as 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 from the medal 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 barri raise money to produce a special gift for donald trump to thank the state department for toughened stance on pakistan we are suspending security assistance security assistance only to pakistan at this time in till the pakistani government takes decisive action

against groups including the afghan taliban goal nobody 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 a party now fears for his life and he blames that washington for failing to protect them. the americans are all friends and can help us in fact we would 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. seems that it can't be protected samir khan hearten washington d.c. . seven years on from the start of the war in syria is it finally coming to an end and does the country's president have

a nickname for donald trump artie's very good as they have sat down with bashar assad to find out the answers to those questions and then he more is a preview of his exclusive interview. if anything the syrian civil war is growing hotter on the ground by child assad is winning the rebels and islamists are in retreat unlike their backers forces from five nuclear powers are now directly gauge didn't military action in syria each determined to win with salvage what they can on the ground which makes the perfect ground for an escalation an escalation that no one wants but one that nobody would be able to control in the exclusive interview with r.t. syrian president bashar al assad has shared his thoughts on the coming future on the precarious dangerous and fragile months ahead and on the endgame

of this devastating war with regards to the united states relation to would you president trump was called you quote animal asat you have a nickname for the u.s. president you know. this is not my language so i cannot toothy miller language this is his loan it to prevent him thing there's a very. no in principle that what you see is what you are three wanted to prevent or to believe that in any way. you didn't move anything and if this kind of language who did anything. for for for anyone the only thing that moves you if what people who trust people who are liberal headed people who are thoughtful people or. if because that would move anything to do with

a positive or negative somebody like we will not inform. the full version of that interview with the syrian president premieres on r.t. on thursday morning the times are on your screen now it will also be available from the the on our website r.t. dot com. that is news headlines coming your way and. dropping bombs brings the news to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle but still. produce offspring to tell you that what we gossip and probably buy fell for the most important news today. telling me you are not cool enough to buy their product. the hawks that we along with all

of. four men are sitting in a car when the fifth gets shot in the head. 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 a corner. oh and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered i'm here lavelle the

american political soap opera widely known as russia gate appears to have no end well no evidence has been revealed that trump campaign colluded with russia there is mounting evidence the intelligence community or should i say the deep state monitored or even spied on trump world should there be a special investigation into the misdeeds apartment of justice the f.b.i. and the cia. cross talking spygate i'm joined by my guest christopher ne why i'm in washington he's a republican strategist in new york we have charles or tell he is a private investor and writer as well as host podcast show sunday which arles and in los angeles we crossed to ha goodman he is a columnist journalist published in the huffington post salon the hill and other publications right gentlemen crosstalk roles in fact that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate gentlemen who are calling this program spygate and i have it in quotes ok because i'm quoting the president of the united

states and that's what i want to delve into here. i always go to the person who gets up early into the program that's obviously you in los angeles because i'm exactly on the other side of the world of you right now we're calling it spygate but i was thinking maybe a better title would be the three stooges brennan komi and clapper i think you know where i'm going go ahead ha. well one question i have to ask is why is buzz feed's suing the d.n.c. for evidence to corroborate the still does. and why did the united states government feel it was necessary to spy or to infiltrate trump's campaign using stephanie helper even before the still the cia the next question is what crime is trump said to have committed they've investigated trump without even accusing him of a specific crime in watergate you had a break in the cover up you know what happened with bill clinton with hillary clinton she transferred top secret intelligence onto an a once on encrypted server

there were crimes and then cover ups or investigations based on those crimes with trump there is no predicate crime is no crime that he said to have committed. buzz feed is suing the d.n.c. very likely because there's no evidence to corroborate the steel of the cia which was used by james comey and the f.b.i. to go ahead and get a face of war and on carter page they already wiretapped everyone within trump's campaign they already called trump presidential candidate trump and incidental communication they even took one of his servers from trump tower they found nothing there was no evidence of anything there's no evidence that anyone collude with russia but most are pro trying to fire him over tomorrow and simply you know head but. you're making the point here and let me go to christopher in washington is that if the deeper they go into this the more we see that there is collusion here

but it's collusion within the intelligence community and ha the facts man that's why i love him i'm having him on the program the facts are out there he just gave you a whole list and i'm sure he could go much further i mean why shouldn't there be more focus on that because when i watch brennan and clapper on cable t.v. they're getting more and more hysterical as if it's getting closer and closer to them go ahead in washington christopher well i tend to agree with my colleague in the sense that when you look at all of the things they've been looking at they get you get to these ten general things that have nothing to do with the actual investigation and they're just constantly looking into things and constantly looking into things i think what we have is you know this is like being on a roller coaster of being nauseous and just not being able to get off i mean especially for the american voter in terms of you know can you trust these politicians and then can you trust the. investigatory apparatus that you're supposed to build the trust looking into these things and then you look at besta gators that are you know have hillary clinton posters on their wallet and there

their spouses are donating campaign it's really makes an office i think at this point a special counsel should really be brought in for all of these things i mean we just it's like a roller coaster you can't get off your nauseous. so i tend to agree with what my colleague just said before me you know. jeff sessions is being criticized a lot for not being more proactive and we do know that he recused himself and we have the new f.b.i. director ray i mean i can't think and this is my own personal theory is that they've realized there was so much collusion against a trump campaign within the intelligence community that it would really shock the confidence in these agencies and i think they're really kind of puzzled on how to deal with this because with every single passing day we see more and more dots connected not with russian trump but how the intel community colluded together to go after this candidate and that and we as president i mean it's seems at least

patently obvious to me go ahead charles in new york. you know i think the real story here is even more diabolical than we're talking about i think it goes back to june two thousand and eight when hillary clinton conceded to barack obama that he would be president and agreed to help there's a public record of her meeting in dianne feinstein's house and i think ever since then team clinton and team obama have been conspiring to weaponize the i.r.s. the department of justice the cia the tech services etc to punish enemies of you know their their branch of the democratic party and to reward friends whether it be to go after the tea party in two thousand and ten to get barack obama reelected in two thousand and twelve to try to build a position for hillary clinton in two thousand and fourteen and to try to get her elected in fifteen sixteen that's the larger narrative and in the beginning i think donald trump was in a position to take that narrative on because his base was still you know wondering if he'd make it through the perilous honeymoon period where generally you do get

a break and now we're in a place where eyes are opening and we're realizing you know what happened from two thousand and nine to two thousand and seventeen under barack obama was a mirage low interest rates made it look as if a big deficit spending made it look as if everything was going well in reality we are now we've been party to the grossest abuse of power by an administration ever in the history of this country going all the way back and that's the real story it's not so much two thousand and fifteen sixteen and for that reason we need congressional investigations joints committees we need the media to do its job people like al goodman and others on our t. frankly who are not down with mainstream don't hold your breath don't hold your breath ok i watch chris cuomo a couple days ago i mean i don't know what is wrong with that guy but it's delusional the problem with people like chris cuomo i'm not talking now to a.j. is that they're so vast invested with this can their own conspiracy theory of their own making here that they don't know how they can find an exit now i mean they just

keep doubling down on the most absurd. cure things when there are some really big things right staring us all right in the face here i mean the liberal media doesn't want to concede it made a mistake because they will have to can make concessions about so many other mistakes they may go ahead ha in l.a. or i had the great pleasure of interviewing the charles moore told numerous times and he's absolutely brilliant and he is probably one of the foremost people in terms of knowledge about the clinton foundation and clinton foundation scandals and the interesting thing is that ross story actually wrote a hit piece on me recently and they said oh my goodness he's focusing on the iranian style goodman and there is a verbatim article title from the new york times cash flow to clinton foundation made russian uranium deal that's the forbade him article title if you just look at the public record new york times washington post you can see that millions and millions and millions of millions or hundreds of millions dollars flowed into the

clinton foundation and then something beneficial took place for the people who gave money to the clinton foundation that is a huge huge. scandal the reason that clinton used a private e-mail server yeah and she eventually transferred top secret special access program intelligence onto that server which is that's the big issue is how she actually transferred how she was able to transfer that intelligence from separate skits on to her server the reason she used that service because of the clinton foundation i think that the trump russia and nonsense i think the truck question nonsense is just one way to hide a giant money laundering you know no one can find what it is ha what it is what it is the ills exactly what it is it's really nothing to see here folks look away it's a way to absolve the clinton machine and to place blame on trump here i mean let me go to christopher in washington i mean i listen to to. brendan in class. basically

saying you know surveilling spying on whatever word you want to use the term campaign was actually to protect them and to protect the united states why didn't they just tell the campaign hey i think we got some more reason right here you might want to be careful who you talk to i mean that would have been the right thing to do would have been a neutral thing to do if that's the case what it was because i don't believe it was because if it was that they would have done that go ahead christopher totally agree peter i mean if you look at the entire investigation what's happened there hasn't been any sort of consistency going both sides in terms of just having a standard and sticking to it and it's sort of shocked me throughout the whole soap opera of the hillary clinton e-mails that at some point there's going to be politics and there's going to be all that stuff but at some point there has to be some sort of unified standard if you're breaking the law you're breaking national security protocol you should be in trouble and if you look at i mean look at james call me i mean he's a beta male who's on his boring book tour he's a he's.
