it would be. a wave of fire bombings to hit sweden just weeks before parliamentary elections planting intense speculation over who started what we described as extremely organized attacks. armed gunmen stormed a military intelligence center in kabul with the city still mourning thirty four people killed in wednesday's suicide bombing at a school and attack claimed by islamic states. as the economic standoff between ankara and washington escalates a turkish citizens vent theory at us terrorists by filming themselves smudging their eyes. a very warm welcome you're watching r.t.

international with me the care and top story this hour more than one hundred cars have been torched across we did three weeks ahead of september elections it's believed the fire bombings work ordinated takes a look at the timing of the arson attacks and how they're feeling tensions ahead of the electoral race. it's not even dark people look out their windows and see this. the first train is gone locals are just completely baffled and can't squeeze out a word a few moments later they erupt in sheer fury and they scream. 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 overthrow it 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 for the most any custom have the question has to be asked of those people and if there's no one to hack who are you doing want to figure out who do you think you are born if you destroyed the whole area of the neighborhood for the children on their way to preschool you have to see burns out

because we're going to be hard response from society any of us are somewhat strong words but not as emotional as society which clearly wants the ones in charge to get it sorted. such neighborhood disasters don't come out of nowhere when it comes to all kinds of street crime lately sweden's been getting less and less safe last time i was attacked by my people and they took my bike home and there are increased number of shootings has gotten worse in every way the police man said that he had never experienced anything like this or changed as if. it is not this weekend and that and when the years of ignoring the trends backfired literally with flames some of the swedish elite chose not to talk about the state rather they 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 my mom fled before the election while well organized did 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. visit inside desperate kira viz to explain the attacks including blaming them on questions trying to ferment invest before the election in. sweden democrats sympathises a 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 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. . so it is police say similar attacks have happened in several towns in previous years but on the far smaller scale we spoke to swedish democratic campaign kent a chorale whose party is spock's control the city over its anti immigration stance he says people are starting to realize his country is not as safe as they thought. the situation in sweden who started this shit piled 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

sweden and so this has been on for a long time and we have made your arse and wired many you i just saw sense of just ticks that. arson. in cars with intent. has gone up from twelve to thirty percent from one 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 two gunmen have been killed by security forces officers finally took control of the building from where the gunmen had been firing at the compound nearby university was also placed on lockdown no group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack . this latest assault comes as the country's security service is struggle to deal with a spike in terror attacks. i

wish. my friends and i were sitting in exam and class first period finished and we went out for break time afterwards while the students returned to class two minutes later the bombs suddenly went off when i heard the sound of good feelings and. beliefs. the. united nations continues to maintain that no military solution should secure their country.

donald trump has revoked a security clearance a former cia director john brennan he also lashed out saying here exhibit erratic behavior and it's thought that it is just the first in a line of officials who will suffer this saying sate a similar concords. exercised my constitutional authority to deny mr brennan access to classified information sarah sander 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 the tray the women of the f.b.i. the 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 into question asking if he had been profiting off of this 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 evaluating action with respect to the following individuals james clapper james comey michael hayden sally ates susan rice and german cave peter shura 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 early a lot of them or higher ups in the f.b.i. and also dennis and cia certainly i mean i believe these people are all go of this rush to get in every case you know a bit and then manipulating information and data for the public consumption to confuse and. you know create all kinds of uncertainty in the government in the government business that's that's what the that's why they should never have 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 after they've retired but now in the unprecedented wake of cutting off brennan's top level security access the will trump says this is not political he would have done the same to any republican hey damed incompetence. plenty more to come after this short break stay with us.

you know world a big part of their lives and conspiracies it's time to wake up to dig deeper to get the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

join me every thursday on the elec simon short and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. welcome back to the usa as economic sanctions against turkey will remain in place even if ankara releases an american power being held on suspicion of terrorism offenses as off to both sides impose further tariffs on each other and some turkish citizens have chosen an unusual way to read their anger at washington's economic warfare. oh no no no i don't want to see.

what effect this this one american to put global financial stability at risk. put u.s. base presence in turkey at risk put a nato ally in line for them they killed a partner at risk for one american who's being put through the churches just so you're saying this is our fault turkey is our financial situation has been in the works for quite some time and it dates prior to the imposition of sanctions on august i believe was august the first so this is been in train for quite some time and you cannot blame the u.s. government for that was that thing on turkey's side is council which has just approved fifteen billion dollars in aid to prop up the turkish economy artie's done quarter has been looking at how the decades old alliance between the u.s. and turkey is being tested to breaking point. she was built. the no

leading us to great tree deals as opposed to the horrible food trade deals the drawing heritages your president of the country should not be allowed to come in and steal who will of all greet you and me. what countries could he mean or stealing could it be turkey the country's lira shed 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 pastor bronson 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 but turkey's just one example of how the trumpet administration 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 we have to work all trump talks about putting america first requires its allies also that would america first to the head of their own interests and this is beginning i think decouple some of america's most obviously he's really trying to assert american leadership and perhaps we've tended to think of american aggressiveness in recent years have been probably military involvement supposed like afghanistan iraq and so on but you know we're trying perhaps is less inclined to want to use military power but he wants to show that america's two house particular financial who get money in the world competitors like beijing and moscow attempting to pack as much heat as the u.s. these days sanctioning and scaring everyone in view may be the only way for the

u.s. to impose its will on friend and foe alike donald quarter r t. c n n presenter chris cuomo has sparked controversy for saying on that the violence coming from the left wing anti families meant in the us is more morally justified than violence which comes from the far right the comments were made a day after and if i had my neck clashes with police and journalists while countering a white nationalist rally in washington all punches are not equal drawing a moral equivalency between those espousing hate and those fighting it because they both resort to violence emboldens hate legitimize hateful belief and elevates what should be stamped out. earlier my colleague andrew farmer got reaction both for and against chris cuomo his 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 and righteous violence that you can have it still creates negative karma it is still very problematic seem to be. something that should be diverted to only when it's absolutely necessary these are people who 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 that there's actually to same as what was going on back then in italy but a lot of their tactics seemed to mirror what they were doing just because look i

mean what he's like to do that is an ideal or idea like 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 somebody will you know somebody that has yes there's somebody that wears a mask attacks dangerous people without personal provocation 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 morality the law is just the law many people talking about. morally acceptable to hurt. those who are

talking about hate but what about the innocent people actually members of the media get attacked by and used to use school teachers being anything to me is also an attack by don and his complete wait wait well wait hold on hold on a mechanician you see people today 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 well it's ok if somehow justify the values that it does because most of the time when i see jimmy gaijin it's about his use against those who just have different points of view you know i'd have to see the statistics on that. you know we have seen a outbreak in street fighting between fascists and anti fascist said absolutely is happening is people are just afraid they're cowards and they're acting in a way that is totally irrational because of their fear. a court is currently considering whether to grant house arrest two tains charged with plotting

a coup in russia where they're both nick and. were detained for their role in a group calling itself new greatness. a continent that reports on the case. the members of the new greatness movement are accused of organizing an extremist gang and calling for a constitutional revolution the investigation claims this young man was its leader and here is how he described its purpose. was to establish rules on russian territory put the ruling elites on trial and repealed repressive laws in the constitution. the idea of the movement grew out of private chats on social media platforms here is 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 and 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 or 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 team claims the idea to create a fool scale movement with its own office program and even a noun blam belongs to an f.a.a. speed agent who under the name roussillon d. and filtrated the group of the youngsters and courage their ideas and effectively create as a reason for their arrest the detainees say that he was the one who paid most of the money to rent a place where they gathered and plan to buy firearms and now there are two alleged

members one of them an acting policeman claimed they only joined the group in order to turn them over to the authorities all of them are witnesses for the prosecution and the case. that's a bit of the law which you regulates intelligence gathering activities in russia forbids pleas from provoking someone to commit a crime the person under the name brislin d. is a provocateur he carried out a provocation against children he did what he could to create this organization and make sure it looked the way he wanted. this is an unsanctioned so-called mothers march which hit the streets of the russian capital on wednesday people gathered to demand to the authorities transfer of the detainees to house arrest considering their young ages one of the detainees was just seventeen at the time of her arrest and the group's online chats she wrote that she was interested to learn how to throw molotov cocktails and claim to have known someone who could supply weapons

guys i've remembered some connections there's a dude in a desk who trades weapons in ukraine i want to get in touch with him it's a sure thing he knows people from my done maybe they can buy something what do you think since being jailed and as hal has reportedly worsened she cries throughout the court hearings which was being driven in a cold prison van for hours it was minus eleven outside she was interrogated for many hours with no psychologist own lawyer present she was treated like a seasoned criminal they made her cry how can a seventeen year old withstand this. is found guilty they face up to ten years and present i do not question r.t. moscow. but who would r.t. we love to hear your thoughts on all of our stories they do get in touch by following us on social media we're back in about thirty minutes with the top headlines we see that.

to begin to. open up a bit. in the fun. because he will never be useful so he will be talking to the. hell up i'll get it why don't we give you credit. for that a lot of any of us come out of a skid but i'm about the same as art but i was up the money into. giving him a lot less. money how much. they'd still

be. there all right so we do our job and. while that was to be made by. other people more adult films that was on the. final film and also the dickens out of life now has a bloody donkey the point about. finding a few of you who would it be that easy to find and found that out in me. plus is that going to people who. didn't. vote but i've done my bit about my little bit of a wonderful i'm about out of it that i'll accept that out of money good no doubt

much of the way for the mob to get together but in. this one day it's like. somebody is a. to see. even the local. the and. to get. a mask as an

this is a cause or part. i feel it johnny cash so many times in my life that was just one of them anyway enough about johnny cash was talk with stacy max you know it was in this white house here in one nine hundred seventy one whereby president nixon before he was impeached did take the united states off the gold standard and thus the entire world off the gold standard and we were on a total fiat's currency standard and we have now reaped the you know the basically chaos that he sowed at that point in time forty fifty years later we're now seeing these huge trade imbalances but we're also seeing what happens when our time preference has shifted and we became an ultra consumer society we don't create that much wealth and a lot of people actually you see are unhappy they would rather create wealth they would rather have meaningful existence and i think that's part of why we have the

opioid addiction and all that sort of stuff but that's for another episode so i want to talk about the fi out money this is men with the guns are sent by the people in these buildings as paul krugman would say the men with guns back our fear but here's a cartoon somebody named peyton sterling did and that's max keiser and the lying because it is not a bubble big corn is a pin it looks like pepe max kaiser elegant is right well done that's your western yellow and i only like you that's great for them over christmas as a stocking stuffer you can get one of these dolls and be the envy of your entire family and that's not your neighborhood you know thirty seventy one it's another legacy the vietnam war is a talk about morrell the collapse of morality in the nixon had to start paying for that war and got us all to go senate to expand the credit credit expansion to buy more guns to fulfill the what eisenhower warned us about the military industrial complex so since then we've of course had hyper financialization and the cation of

all. the assets of america and this is why we've seen the rapidly escalating in the past two decades especially the cost for health care the cost for education the cost for many things houses things that used to be within the reach of an ordinary worker and i can remember back in the one nine hundred seventy s. my mom after my dad passed away was a single mother and she was able to buy a house go to university with three kids and still like how imagine a twenty four year old woman being able to do that today no it's not possible because of the hyper financialization and all the credit and debt has driven up the cost of all these things and yet wages have not risen so i want to turn to a tweet that i i made reference to a wall street journal article and they were saying that the u.s. will soon spend close to twenty percent of g.d.p. on health.
