in the real news. headlines an r.t.a. a wave of fire bombings hit sweden just weeks before parliamentary elections prompting intense speculation over who started the well organized attacks also to come this hour donald trump says former cia director john brennan exhibits erratic conduct and behavior revoke his security clearance threatening a number of other officials with the same measure and armed gunmen stormed the military intelligence center in kabul with the city still mourning thirty four people killed in wednesday suicide bombing at a school in wife makes states plus also to come as the economic standoff between and from washington gets worst the citizens vent their anger at u.s. terrorists by smashing their i phone.

hello there it's nine pm here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now our top story this hour more than one hundred cars have been set ablaze across weeden three weeks ahead of the september elections it's believed the fire bombings were coordinated. takes a look at the time of the arson attacks and how they are staking tensions ahead of the electoral race. it's not even dark people look out their windows and see this. the first train of thought the locals are just completely baffled and can't squeeze out a word a few moments later they erupt in sheer fury and they scream. thinks

. 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. you can think. 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 what do you

think you are born as you destroy the whole area for the neighbors for the children on their way to the free school we have to see turns out cause 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 because it was attacked by five 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 for changed. it is not the sweetest 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 one month left before the election while well organized would not surprise me if the extreme right were involved in some way a false flag by the extreme right version is popular among some journalists to. visit inside desperate to resteal 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.t.v. 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 never ending 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. . well swedish police do say that similar attacks have happened in several towns in previous years but on a far smaller scale we spoke to the swedish democratic. party has sparked controversy with its anti migration stance and he says that people are starting to realize his country is not as safe as they thought the situation in sweden i started to see it out in the international arena when people suddenly realise worse

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 years back i just saw some statistics that. the arson attacks 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. know the former cia chief john brennan has hit back after donald trump revoked his security clearance on wednesday brennan claims the president simply can't take criticism that's why the president revoked my security clearance to try to silence anyone who would challenge him mr trump's claims of no collusion are in a word hogwash and it's thought that brennan is the first of many officials or

suffer the same fate with the details his same a recount. exercised my constitutional authority to deny mr brennan access to classified information sara sanders spoke to press and she said 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 very partisan leanings the most divisive president an individual who basically portrayed his nation he 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 an abnormal president john brennan left his position as director of the cia back in january twenty seventh team 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 i feel other prominent political figures i'm a valuating action with respect to the following individuals james clapper james comey michael hayden sally aides susan rice and german cave peter struck lisa page and bruce or security clearances for those who still have them may be revoked the most important things that have happened in u.s. politics in recent years is there's been a realisation that everything is political in other words that the federal bureau of investigation the cia the n.s.a. all of these u.s. agents is not about politics it's story of power and when you have figures like brennan and komi intervening in the public debate that these organizations and individuals operate with very considerable politics they are clearly very trump has

been. along were when they were in office and continue to be now and i think that's very problematic for the united states because what it means is that. these these institutions that were once seen as being the fair or just arbiters of the law all being questioned i think it's a good thing that they're being questioned because they haven't been fair and just but it's also very disruptive to the american system as. 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 gunman had been firing at the compound and nearby university was also placed on lockdown no group has claimed responsibility so far well this latest the soldiers come as the country's security service is struggle to deal with a spike in terror attacks. he.

was. rich. my friends and i were sitting an exam in class the first period finished and we went out for break time afterwards while the students return to class just two minutes later the bombs suddenly went off when i heard the sound i couldn't feel anything. leaving. me. alone my mom was there was a. bit of a let me get. you know nations continues to meet a big can be no military solution to the conflict to my country. i was a. political

analyst mushtaq i hane believes that the new rise of militant groups in the country is a direct consequence of the us nafta and government's failure. the u.s. and international community has made so many mistakes in the course of the last one in how big it within afghanistan they have not been able to put policies in place where they get on the confidence of the out went public the government itself has not been able to deliver good governance and they have not been able to respond to the needs of the general public resulting in a loss of public confidence in the government as well as international assistance forces the americans did not but work together with the countries of the region the powers of the region such as countries in central asia russia china and man i would then have honest and to create a set of consensus where we can work together towards stability in afghanistan so many factors coming together that has been reserved. in upsurge of taliban as

taliban have been successfully coming forward and beaking wooded areas. now the c.n.n. presented chris cuomo has sparked controversy saying on the air that violence coming from the left wing and tiffany went in the u.s. is more morally justified them violence which comes from the far right the comments were made today after and to for had minor 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 legitimizes hateful belief and elevates what should be stamped out. a gut reaction both for and against chris cuomo says 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 silence even if it's the most justified and righteous violence that you can have it still creates negative karma it is still very problematic saying to. something that should be diverted to only when it's absolutely necessary these are people who really are what they purport an associate be against they're talking about being an 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 seemed to mirror what they were doing it just because i mean what exactly you that is an ideal or a long i'll 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 a word of violence or i may be justified if somebody does not put their hands on you you can 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 bad man this type of behavior is justified in our society violence can be used to prevent greater violence say 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 ality the law is just the law many people talk and it's 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 there's also an attack by dan his complete wait wait well wait hold on hold i'm mechanician you see people are they are people of color the left likes to call them being attacked by these individuals because of their political opinions so i don't really understand this whole thing about. it's ok if somehow justify the value so i don't see if it does because most of the time when i see jimmy gage a news about its use against those who just have different points of view you know i'd have to see it see the statistics on that. you know we have seen a outbreak in street fighting between fascists and anti fascist said 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. the russian court has a place to teenage girls under house arrest after they were detained for being part of the gang and led to the reporting the pair were arrested for their role in a group calling itself greatness and have been charged with plotting to overthrow

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's 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. speedy agent who under the name bruce lundy and filtrated the group of the

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. cocktails and claimed 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 down maybe they can buy something what do you think since being jailed and as hal has reportedly worsened she cries throughout the court hearings on your was being driven in a cold prison van for hours it was minus eleven outside she was interrogated for many hours with no psychologist or 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. the u.s. says that economic sanctions against turkey will remain in place even if ankara releases an american pastor being held on suspicion of terrorism offenses that after both sides imposed further tariffs on each other however some turkish citizens have chosen an unusual way to vent their anger at washington's economic warfare. oh no no no no no nicholas it. was a port and this just one american to put global financial stability at risk. put u.s. base presence in turkey at risk put it a nato alliance with and they killed

could he mean our stealing could 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 rebel.
