moments after midday here in moscow this is r.t. international a very well and. a string of attacks has rocked sweden three weeks ahead of september elections and we understand three suspects have been arrested one of them in turkey it's widely thought that the timing of the fires which appeared of being coordinated was not accidental and speculation is rife as to who carried out the attacks and what impact they may have on the upcoming electoral race. reports it's not even dark people look out their windows and see this. the first locals are just completely baffled and can't squeeze out a word a few moments later the erupt in sheer fury and they scream.
5:02 am
that. their next thought is it even safe to leave their homes now. the hooded thugs smash up and burn mostly cars they know what they're doing they know how to do it the our team in the last few days there were almost identical scenes everywhere you see a flame i can swedish media say at least about one hundred cars are now burnt out pieces of metal police have made a number of arrests but basically the country still in the dark about who's behind the menace was overthrown for it. thinking. it through there. in about three weeks swedes will be voting for their new parliament well now politicians there have more things to worry about than stuff like their election promos before the most any custom have the question has to be

he hears of ignoring the trends backfired literally with flames some of the swedish elite chose not to talk about this. state rather the came up with conspiracies or in other words pointed the finger at right wing extremists some quote unquote dark forces. they want the elections to be about arsons they want to fuel discussed and fear i hope the whole thing is not orchestrated by the dark forces that threaten our democracy and our independence. last night's events with one month left before the election were well organized would not surprise me if the extreme right were involved in some way they false flag by the extreme right version is popular among some journalists to. sweden democrats sympathises of running around in the suburbs burning cars in a coordinated action to direct criticism of the suburbs population in the hope of

favoring s.d. to make sure sweden can dodge any russian efforts to screw up its election stockholm has even splashed out on the media so that they could wipe out the neverending fake news that it was only to be hit by a wave of homegrown conspiracies before the police had at least something solid for the public ilya patrolling co r.t.e. swedish police know that similar attacks happened in several swedish towns in previous years but when i thought smaller scale and we spoke to swedish democratic and p. cand echo roth whose party has sparked controversy over its anti immigration stance he says people are starting to realize that sweden is not as safe as they once thought. the situation in sweden has started to seep out in the international arena when people suddenly realize whoops sweden is not a nice little country thought it was but now realize what the hell happened to
5:06 am
sweden and so this has been on for a long time and we have made you our sins and. many years back i just saw some statistics that. are. in cars with intent. has gone up from twelve to thirty percent from nine hundred sixty seven to one thousand five hundred cases a year or something and i mean it's been going up in actual numbers to. a military intelligence compound has been attacked in the afghan capital kabul local security officials say the number of gunmen is currently unknown the area has been cordoned off by soldiers and witnesses reported gunfire and at least one explosion heard from the building and we understand the fighting is still on going to bring you the updates as soon as we get them but the attack comes as the country's security services struggle to deal with a spike in terror attacks it was suicide bombing on
5:07 am
a school in the afghan capital on wednesday killed thirty six according to local health officials the death toll is likely to rise the taliban has denied it had any involvement in that assault and no other group has claimed responsibility one of the victims describes how it all happen. which. my friends and i were sitting in the exam in class the first period finished and we went out for break time afterwards the students return to class just two minutes later suddenly went off when i heard the sound i couldn't feel anything. has revoked the license the security clearance that is a former cia director john brennan lashing out at him saying he exhibits erratic conduct and behavior and is thought of brennan is only the first in a line of officials who will suffer the very same fate as american reports. they exercised my constitutional authority to deny mr brennan access to classified
5:08 am
information sarah sandor spoke to press and she said that the decision to revoke his clearance was based on his erratic conduct and behavior of defending the move as an effort to secure classified info from someone who has helped foment division in the past and clearly has a very partisan leanings the most divisive president an individual who basically portrayed his nation routinely lies betray the women of the f.b.i. he deceived and betrayed the american public and he misrepresents the facts and reality is a betrayal of the nation but this is not abnormal president john brennan himself has already chimed in blasting the move as part of a bid to suppress free speech and punish critics but for some context john brennan left his position as director of the cia back in january twenty seventeen and he now serves as m s n b c's senior national security and intelligence analyst but this whole debacle began last month when senator rand paul called brennan's motives
5:09 am
into question asking if he had been profiting off of his clearance by divulging secrets to the mainstream media his exact words he even met with trump asking him to revoke the clearances of not only brennan but a few other prominent political figures i am a valuating action with respect to the following individuals james clapper james comey michael hayden sally ates susan rice and german cave peter sure lisa page and bruce or security clearances for those who still have them may be revoked the president is doing the right thing rebooking the clearances of people who aren't contributing anything par certainly a lot of them or higher ups in the f.b.i. and also it is. certainly i mean i believe these people are all go of this rush to get to know a bit and then manipulating information and data for the public consumption to confuse and. you know create all kinds of good. uncertainty in the government.
5:10 am
that's what they that's why they should never get a clearance. meanwhile washington has a tradition of allowing former presidents and senior intelligence officials to still get their morning intel briefings each and every day even when they are retired but now in the end president at wake of cutting off britain's top level security access donald trump says this is nothing political he would have done the very same thing to any republican and he deemed incompetent. the u.s. remains in the grip of a wave of protests as both far right and left wing groups rallied to denounce each other after some of the demos turn violent c.n.n. presenter chris cuomo made a controversial claim that violence coming from the anti for movement in the us is more morally justified than violence which comes from the far right all punches are not equal truong a moral equivalency between those espousing hate and those fighting it because they both resort to violence emboldens hate legitimizes hate full belief
5:11 am
and elevates what should be stamped out. of my colleague on your farm a gut reaction both for and against chris cuomo comments. every time i see them on television they seem to be getting some kind of fight some kind of altercation it always seems to come from them it is a matter if they're fighting hey or whatever they claim you can't put your hands on somebody and then hide behind some kind of moral high ground don't touch people if you don't want to be chased is really just as simple as day it doesn't matter what political affiliation the other person is violence even if it's the most justified
5:12 am
and righteous violence that you can have it still creates negative karma it is still very problematic seemed to be. something that should be diverted to only when it's absolutely necessary these people really are what they purport to associate be against they're talking about being anti fascist but a lot of their action mirrors that of what was on the mussolini's time with the whole black church situation it seems like they're doing the same thing i'm not saying it directly to same as what was going on back then in italy but a lot of their tactics seem to mirror what they were doing just because so i mean what he's like to do that is an ideal or a long i'll hold on hold on wait wait wait wait just because somebody is hateful in your eyes does not mean that it's ok or somehow justified at all to hurt then you can't say violence or maybe justify it no it's not if somebody does not put their hands on you you cannot put your hands on them is very simple if you put your hands on somebody then that person has a right to defend themselves you know you talk about don't put your hands on
5:13 am
somebody will you know he had there's somebody that as a yes there's somebody that wears a mask attacks dangerous people without personal provocation and puts their hands on them you know who it is it's batman this type of behavior is justified in our society violence can be used to prevent greater violence it's a boils down to no it doesn't it is against the law to commit violence against another individual yeah of course but the law does not dictate more out the laws just the law many people talking about. morally acceptable to hurt. those who were talking about what about the innocent people actually members of the media get attacked by and used to use schoolteachers do you know i mean he has also been attacked by the hand he's on played it wait wait well wait hold on hold on i'm not initial you see people are they are people of color as the left likes to call them being attacked by these individuals because if their political opinions so i don't really understand this whole thing about why. it's ok is somehow justified for the
5:14 am
values that it does because most of the time when i see jimmy gaijin news values use against those who just have different points of view you know i'd have to say see the statistics on that. you know we have seen a outbreak in street fighting between fascists and anti-fascists that absolutely has happened these people are just afraid they're cowards and they're acting in a way that is totally irrational because of their fear. a group calling itself new greatness is on trial for streamers and here in russia for allegedly plotting a rebellion so of those arrested have asked to be placed under house arrest instead of the tension with a decision on this expected today. within a quarter of a report on the case the members of the new greatness movement are accused of organizing an extremist against and calling for a constitutional revolution the investigation claims this young man was its leader and here's how he described its purpose. our goal was to establish new rules and
5:15 am
russian territory but the ruling elite on trial repealed oppressive laws in the constitution the idea of the movement grew out of private chats on social media platforms here's an extract again the revolutionary fire is starting everywhere but we can't do anything like this here in our country that said it all began when a few young people from moscow on its regions started to share their political views with each other online later they began meeting in person mostly in mcdonalds cafes to pardon some political rallies handed out political leaflets and made a few trips outside the city to learn how to use firearms they even wrote a manifesto in case of an uprising all revolutionary activities that receive broad public support the organization aims to take part in those actions to the extent of its resources in march ten members of the organization were arrested their defense

5:21 am
point. she was billed for the entire entire roof so no leading us to great trade deals as opposed to the horrible food trade deals the drawing heritage as your president of the country should not be allowed to come in and steal the wealth of all great you and me. what countries could he mean are stealing could be turkey the countries lira shared a quarter of its value against the dollar in just one week after trump's tweet about doubling existing tariffs investors are running away screaming inflation surging and turkey's leadership is bracing for an all out trade war the reason for such a calamity against an old nato friend was ankara's refusal to release an american pastor accused of both terrorism and espionage it's punishment time for a rebellious ally that tariffs that are in place on steel would not be removed with the release of castor brunson and president heard

a wand lashed out in defiance calling the u.s. move an attempt to force turkey to surrender and make them a slave to the greenback this is coming through of doing things. to come more. and they want to. but turkey is just one example of how the trumpet ministration treats longtime allies in fact many of america's friends have already been forced into the fray in a war of tariffs and sanctions canada had heavy steel and aluminum tariffs imposed earlier this year and trump perhaps thought the stars and stripes needed some protection from its northern neighbor who didn't take too kindly to it that it's kind of insult to move forward with retaliatory measures on july first applying equivalent tariffs as if that wasn't bad enough the us president went and

slapped tariffs on europe today i'm defending america's national security. by placing tariffs on foreign imports of steel and aluminum brussels tried to hit back with restrictions of its own tried to appeal to the transatlantic solidarity special relations bonds of friendship but to no avail and it begs the question with such a long list of enemies the us is currently fighting from iran to north korea russia china why kick your allies i think this has become a real tit for tat thing and i do not for a new york minute think that the pastor is really what is going on here of course are washington with anchor a bit strange for some time ever since the coup attempt against terror go on i suspect there is something going on with the regional politics maybe with regard to syria that is really the reason behind its competitors like beijing and moscow attempting to pack as much heat as the us these days sanctioning and scaring
