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 and they said those elections in italy could come as soon as september and between now one polling day will show to be a lot of people keeping an eye on what comments are coming out of brussels with regards to which feet which direction italy should proceed in the future you know skeptic coalition failed to form a government after the italian president rejected their choice of finance minister who was seen as being anti european the president then appointed a pro europe prime minister fresh elections are now on the horizon and they've also been calls for a petition to change the constitution to have a directly elected president we spoke to m.e.p. for the five star movement. he believes there's a problem with democracy in the. that was a lie mr someone else the minister was appointed from the

coalition of a five so moment and the league was going to blog blog blog the eurozone or make eataly exit the european union and their conduct 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 centrist political parties see the majority of people either leave x. or exercise the. brain 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 countries that think the to do you own your own will be along to them and i'm referring to germany of course because for example of what the commissioner appointed by the german government to say yes that mr goon

courting her said that to the market to teach italians how to war as i was mentioning before we cannot accept that we are going to play the role of be calling me of some other counties. donald trump has repeatedly called the investigation into alleged collusion with russia a witch hunt but according to one democrat but 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 aren't you maybe a dupe of the kremlin listen to maxine waters talk about trump he's a lying about which but you notice that he says will turn 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 tov or russian hacking operation 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. 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 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 or women's rights so these are people that pushkin a's 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 r.t. from the french president's residence was made today quote higher level bosses won't even speak to ati's representatives on two fronts correspondent to bilko to gulf was carrying the prescott needed student to the elysee palace for a libyan conference but police revealed that anybody working quote for this channel is now bot. this is.

the mystery sixty three young woman who is with solutions for the people who should lose everything you can look up to see was thinking about them we're going to get out of this trip is pretty sure it doesn't look this election is going to get the. first time that this channel has been singled out and blocked from covering an event by the french leader team last year r.t. correspondent polly boycott was banned from entering headquarters for the first round of the presidential election campaign despite being promised accreditation i think is a little. bit. if. you take. the story for. example the thing that. we spoke to independent journalist reveal he thinks macron is trying to control media coverage of his actions. this is a bit funny in

a way you know that mr micawber 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 news the press is not welcome in the immediate environment of jupiter mark or he doesn't want the press any more the four presidents were accompanied by several camera months of journalists are going to use them sometimes this channel sometimes this other channel and people will 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. 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 my guess they have sat down with bashar al assad to get the answers to those questions under this is

a preview of that exclusive interview. if anything the syrian civil war is growing hotter on the ground by charlotte is winning the rebels and islamists are in retreat unlike their backers forces from five nuclear powers are now directly engaged in military action in syria each determined to win will 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 asaad you have a nickname for the u.s. president and. this is not my language so i cannot through similar language the says he's alone you to prevent him to give the very. no in principle but what you see is what two or three wanted to present what to believe. anyway. didn't move anything and if this kind of language could do anything. for four for anyone the only thing that moves you if people that you crossed for people who are liberal headed people who are thoughtful people or more if because that would move anything inside you were positive or negative somebody like tom we were not informed in the full interview with the syrian president premieres on r.t.

on thursday morning at the times or on your screen now it will also be available later in the down our website r.t. dot com. donald trump was 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 there and there's never left lieutenant general austin miller becomes the eighteenth commander in the seventeen year campaign despite the constant turnover of commanders though the latest us watchdog report says that the campaign has brought little good to afghanistan.

and some in afghanistan who would hope to america's presence with a period of peace and stability. explains back in august twenty sixth an afghan man named his son after donald trump but that was before 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 very happy to be the best politician and i hope he will become a politician like well i gave my son this name to make him lucky i want to see him . 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. 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 hog raise money to produce a special gift for donald trump to thank the state department for tough into 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 is 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 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 samir khan parked in washington d.c. . a british american investor is wanted in russia for tax fraud was briefly detained earlier in the day in spain before being released. as the story. 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

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 forever 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 works for broader corporation and was arrested and found dead in his moscow prison cell in two thousand and nine ever

since broader has condemned the russian government and sought to hold as many people responsible for magnitsky death as possible a russian lawyer and. used to represent the company in a civil fraud case based on a scheme allegedly uncovered by said give me ski. low be the gangs the magnitsky act in the media vessel needs guys better known for meeting campaign officials in twenty sixth she thinks that route is using his arrest to get into the media spotlight. just because this is not us but it's true that russia has several times sent in the arrest warrant to enter paul and brought his name was added to the database however he was later excluded with the completely inconceivable explanation of political repression of course no evidence was ever presented to back that up and this case i think it was an internal warrant which could have been issued by spanish police on russia's request but how could browder have known that interpol secretary general personally asked the spanish police not to order

russia's arrest warrant it's either a made up farce or he's suspiciously well informed it suggests that this could have been an orchestrated the are stunt like with his previous detention in geneva or when he had his us visa and out as he has a big team of journalists p.r. specialists and the tech tips working for him. they deferred lines give me away at the top of the hour see them. four men are sitting in a car when the feds get shot in the head like. four

different versions of what happened one of them is on the death row there's no way you could have done it there's no possible way because all us do not share around a corner. like the many clubs over the years so i know the game inside out. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch but a funnel school it's about the passion from the fans. it's the age of the superman each a billionaire owners and spending two hundred twenty million on one player. it's an experience like nothing else on a because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so one more chance with. the base this minute.

well you know that they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're in this small ball it's next to the hard pool in here and it's . not. the little self to be told fish already ninety percent of the dark got a new phone because there are. fifteen scoops seventeen tons that do it several times a day with a cleek oh you get an idea why. we have to understand we can all stay used to just. be with this is the deal for you because. i'm doing this because i want the future world to future generations to have and enjoy the ocean we have.

zero and welcome to cross talk we're all things are considered i'm peter lavelle 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 monitored or even spied on trump world should there be a special investigation into the misdeeds of the apartment of justice the f.b.i. and the cia.

ross 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 in 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 cross-talk rules an effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate gentlemen we're 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 is for 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 brand in column e. 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 the cia 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 steal the cia annex 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 once an 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 in 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 mohler pro. or tomorrow and simply you know had. you're making the point here and let me go to christopher in washington is that. 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 how my 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 best to gators that are you know have hillary clinton posters on their wallet and their their spouses or donate in campaigns it 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 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 are elected in fifteen sixteen that's the larger narrative and in the beginning i think donald trump wasn't 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 were 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 iranians sell 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 it a giant money laundering you know no one can find what it is ha ha what it is what it is 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 listen to two. brandon 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 of 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 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 a clown it's about him it's not about the duty of the f.b.i. i think there's a they really need a facelift i think the brand is really hurting after all this and just tend to agree with with your premise and your lead in. to read before we go to the break here i mean i guess i'd still going to stick with my narrative is that i think that sessions and and ray and others understand the implications once all of this is revealed about how the deep state colluded against the trump campaign that's going

to put it's going to be an institutional crisis when this comes out go ahead charles. look i think the institution has been in crisis for a long time you know robert muller was in charge of the f.b.i. from september fourth two thousand and one to supplant a fourth two thousand and thirteen then followed by james comey look at the number of disasters that occurred under their respective watches they could find obvious clinton foundation for what they missed the iranian one scandal they missed the laureate scandal they missed the scandal reorganizing clint federation two thousand and nine forward you know what didn't they miss and the reality is that technological tools of god ever stronger and we the american public the wider world need to debate about how much power security services should have protected our country is snoop inside our country and then not to can take care of that those secrets are disseminated around to blackmail politicians to blackmail donors and to be used for nefarious purposes i think we need to have i.
