t.v. and a trad mel where he jocks for miles daily still at salon shot even fellow lap convicted felons are banned from running for office and electoral court is expected to declare him in alledge of zero in coming weeks lou is not going to be able to run what he's trying to do is to increase as much as possible support for the workers' party and then so he wants to keep that alive his candidacy is alive for as long as possible and then at the last minute when he's no longer possible transfer all of that support that he is building up currently to his vice presidential running mate running mate which is his favored candidate to replace him if he can't run and again that fernando who was a the mayor of san pablo and is not popular at all while things look unpredictable now one thing is certain election season and brazil has an incentive twist just yet and in a question our team we spoke to the ex president's lawyer who told us

a little silva is itching to get on the campaign trail prop up. it is hard of course he's in prison. during the weekends for instance easy nice elation because there's no contact even with with any of his lawyers he's not allowed to have contact with his family there and he's only allowed. visitations for week. friends it is hard but he's writing a lot he's sending directions in writing of course it is hard because he's not he's doesn't have access to interviews he's not able to answer any of the exemptions that other candidates make make against him is not able to defend himself to do or the country which is what he really desires to be with the people and to explain his age and he's you know new ideas of for the future of the country. the former first minister of scotland alex salmond has taken the country's

government to court it claims its inquiry into his alleged sexual misconduct is illegal the case revolves around allegations of sexual harassment made by two staffers i have since been passed to the police the incumbent first minister nicola sturgeon who is a close ally of simon said she wants to see the investigation move ahead even voe it could have undesirable ramifications for the party. for my party this will be extremely upsetting to members of the s.n.p. up and down the country it's a difficult situation but what is important is that complaints are treated seriously regardless of who the person complained about is i can confirm that the scottish government receives two complaints in january in relation to an examined mrs sam and was notified of the complaints in march and phoned to mr summons and the people involved on wednesday august the twenty second of my conclusions and the

time was considering the public interest in making the fact of the complaints an investigation. publicly known i know that the film affairs minister has indicated his intention to challenge the action taken by the scottish government this causes government will defend his position vigorously the allegations made against someone to pertain to events that allegedly occurred back in twenty thirteen the former first minister has flatly denied the claims calling the government's complaints process unfair and unjust but we spoke to him about the case. i for future the complaints that were made against me and i have sued deny any semblance of criminality. so when you have such things you need a process which is both confidential and fair and most reasonable people will understand and what i'm not frightened of going to the highest court in the land to establish that it seems the scottish government looks a bit shaky in their position or anything like this depends on having

a fair show having a field opportunity and overfed the scottish government process doesn't do that he don't get to see the evidence you don't get to present your own case was barred from speaking to any civil servant many of whom incidentally have texted me today saying why didn't you come to us to support your position well the reason is i was banned from doing that by miss leslie evans the family sent to the scottish government i wasn't allowed to contact them directly so if you can't present your own case you've got an unjust process. these investigations depend on could vent cadenza confidentiality if you don't have that then how and there are people going to have the confidence to complete in future because not just the person complained of oh it's the confidentiality of the complainants and the scottish government would break the lack of the bench ality so we told them to not make that statement because we were taking the action in the court session but it's an extraordinary situation when the scottish government starts to break its own confidentiality

after the shooting everybody connected with this that that was going to be absolutely protected for the process. well let's understand the unique about the scottish government process of talking about events of many years ago when i'm not a serving scottish government minister not even an m.p. or m.s.p. at the present moment and therefore it's really important if you try and introduce such a retrospective to see. so you make sure that the passenger who is being complained of it has the opportunity to properly present the case the scottish government's been making the position that should apply to everybody including former first ministers i absolutely agree and everybody including former first mother still evident today in the land is intitled to a fee of process and the chance to state the case fairly what could be wrong with that but no you know what i say the only good i can see coming out of this is we're

on our way to the court to session that's a real court of real judgment with fear of process is they'll meet the decision and then we'll all have to value but it's about a quarter past the hour here in moscow also about halfway through this i was program still to come though china has reportedly decided to wait and see what happens with trump before engaging any future further trade talks with him that story in the mix just a moment. say the collapse when the soviet union collapsed because the us meddling in boris

yeltsin and all that's going on they had this skyrocketing alcoholism and. here in the us because you have this enormous financial and reengineering to take all the money being printed and put in the pockets of a few folks and leave the vast majority in a state of zombification this is the collapse gap he was talking about the us and the soviet union collapsed one thousand nine hundred ninety period just to take in the us as he describes it you no longer to realize that. joining us here on oxy while recent tweet suggests donald trump is eager to engage in fresh trade talks with china it appears beijing is less keen amid talk of

impeachment reports say the chinese are waiting until after the u.s. midterms to see how things pan out for the u.s. president correspondent caleb maupin explains. frayed talks between the usa and china have failed again now trump would like to push all the blame on to beijing however the situation deal mess to clean might have more to do with it chinese state media is openly arguing the trump is using the trade wars and tariffs as a gimmick in order to win political support trump likely to feel it's a cool headed midterm elections the meet term elections are one of the key reasons the u.s. has maintained a tough stance towards china needless to say china is not eager to play into trump's hand officials there and reportedly said that they are suspending the talks until after the midterm vote it makes pretty good sense for china to cancel the talks until after november why because if the midterm vote doesn't go in trump's

favor it could be more than congress that's up for change i don't know how you can impeach somebody who's done a great job if i ever got a ph i think the market would pressure i think everybody would be very poor might think trump's playing with fire by saying i'm doing a good job don't impeach me especially when it's pretty clear that the i word is on everyone's mind you could say it's the talk of the town in washington d.c. could he be impeached with this impeach trump the idea of impeachment time for impeachment you could have even been preachment is probably likely but there is i think a lot for the president to fear of compared to the previous administration top seems to have done almost a one eighty when it comes to dealing with the people's republic of china we welcome the peaceful. rise of china consistent with international norms that's good for everybody we are being taken advantage of and i don't like it so you have to ask the question are those who talk about impeaching donald trump really doing

american business is a favor after all the idea that donald trump might be packing his bags after november doesn't really put him in a strong spot when it comes to practicing his art of the deal mantra the chinese have adopted if fairly strong if not hard line position for the time being the chinese feel that they have been be treated and mr trump has not followed through on his word they had a joint statement and a consensus that no tariffs were going to be issued the china agreement collapsed within a week and i have this point of time there's just no trumpet nor trust in his board and i do not see. serious decisions and serious outcomes coming out from these discussions over the next couple of months china is holding on to beyond the mid-term elections and i think it's a very good strategy. gaza's health ministry says over one hundred eighty people were injured by israeli soldiers during protests on friday we understand

fifty of the wounded are said to have been hit with live ammunition the israel claims its actions were necessary to prevent the israel gaza barrier being breached the demonstrators were throwing rocks and molotov cocktails a local correspondent hinde dari reports palestinians are are protesting in solidarity with the palestinian paramedics and journalists that have been killed in the past few weeks of the great march of return. you see this is the deep the just tear gas canisters other. palestinian protesters to disperse them and to keep them away from the fence you can also hear live ammunition where only one hundred meters away from the fence edwards very close and

it's very very dangerous here. barcelona's a little messy and we're all much roads etc go to a more sound other club captains in spain's top football league are poised to go on strike a softer league officials signed a deal with an american company to host a regular season matches on u.s. soil. selected to show picks up the story. shocker in spanish football real madrid and f.c. barcelona are not loved as much anymore by their home fans the opening games for the giants saw the lowest stadium attendance for both in a decade with ryall you can try to attribute this to a certain number seven leaving the club for italy but leo messi is men are not used to seeing dwindling support at camp no or maybe fans voted with their feet because both games kicked off very late quarter past ten pm on

a sunday night madrid's german superstar twenty cross could not hide his feelings on twitter to boot the timetable of the game so late. even later worked at. buston dust too late for the children league bosses have now gone even further signing an agreement with american company relevant sports to have at least one game between spanish superclubs played on u.s. soil yes you heard it right spanish domestic league played in the united states in miami to be precise and i was there last year at a sold out friendly version of al classical reale versus bossa where tickets to what essentially was an exhibition game started at a whopping three hundred dollars that would get you a season ticket for all home games at most spanish clubs but charlie still eternal owner of relevant sports told me that was not enough as someone turned to me when i

was three to two and they were still going back and forth and up and down he said maybe you should have charged more for this. while the company claims the move would boost popularity of the game across the pond many believe it will only line corporate pockets at the expense of ordinary fans. one of the most. that's not the issue but you. know it doesn't. that would be the boxer. but all kids are suffering more than that they only think about money and imagine if that game thousands of kilometers away is decisive for winning the league or surviving in it and the spanish fans are not exactly the richest in the world that's why not only them but players themselves have been outraged the spanish footballers association lumb basket this deal in a statement and to add even more fuel to the fire the captains of all twenty league

clubs you name is lee sad they could go on strike. we will go to the end we unanimously against it and when we complain it's because we believe that our rights have been violated. that's enough so we will go until the end of the deal found shock waves across the old world with many in england fearing that the f.a. could follow in the league as footsteps it didn't help that silly town openly stated that he wanted to bring english football across the atlantic too and with the twenty twenty six world cup heading to north america you have to wonder what else is planned to raise the beautiful games popularity in the land of soccer. ski r.t. and i twenty five minutes past the hour here in the russian capital you we can stories here on our international plenty more to offer you if you'll be around with us in about half an hour.

think. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murderer i would prefer it mean when the death penalty just because they think that the parents think the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is

found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying is just not really hasn't been there we're even many victims' families want the death penalty to be abolished. the death penalty here is because that's what murder victim's family is what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way.

i'm after times and you're watching going underground while we're away we're screening some of your favorite episodes of this season coming up on this show cia section. george you're in a journey is former cia man ray mcgovern who served under seven american presidents tells us about american black sites in europe and warns us about the new boss of lonely britain may have to understand three hundred thirty million gods to get a post rex a trade deal with the world's largest democracy we talked to india's former foreign minister yes under secretary general of the united nations judges for the rule that's all coming up in today's going underground but first the british house of commons with this is defense questions today and what are you gay defense department is here is its boss declaring some kind of war with russia. should go away should church help but there is a major government doesn't just want russia to go away we placing a disgrace deportations gowned all home secretaries this man who wants private corporations to help defend us from russia we will also increase our cooperation

with the private sector as someone with a private sector background myself i understand that government cannot deal with these kinds of challenges alone because anyone who banks that have bailed out a bank or who has taken a privatized train in britain knows how efficient the private sector is and remember these for profit corporations are not necessarily targeting isis terror they'll also be targeting russian terror north course tax by hostile states the attempted murders in sol's reward outrageous attack on our soil using military grade nerve agent that in itself was a brazen message from the russian state. we also know that the way that terrorists attacks on their planned and conducted has changed. people are increasingly being radicalized by their computers and smartphones yes terror from

those radicalized by computers and smart phones a military grade nerve agent that doesn't kill a russian terror plot that has no conclusive evidence whatever is he going to do community policing to gather intelligence or a centralized police state there is approximately at the moment some three thousand subjects of interest. a sort of looking at each day and there's also a further twenty thousand of what they refer to as of the close objects of interest previously investigated not any more of the twenty thousand i think there will always be let's say a few hundred that although there are close subjects at a local level these agencies might be able to sort of help with them and maybe an intervention program of some sort yes there are twenty thousand innocent until proven guilty people who have done nothing wrong that can be pinned on them they're going to somehow be intervened on even though they can't be arrested information

against them will be shared around people on the list won't even know they're on a list and will have no ability to counter miss identification or false information with russia being lumped in this will stop people like this crippled being poisoned thankfully the usa arguably remembers german coffee and those russia could detonate the entire u.k. at a moment's notice with or without terms i could use a job ads secretly shared lists in fact the us system of checks and balances from congressional appointment hearings for the cia's new boss gina hearst baltar the senate torture report lifted the veil a month speakable crimes joining me now is a cia veteran ray mcgovern ray thanks for coming back on there whether you have that much faith in the u.s. system but what did you make of the european court of human rights finding with you when you're in rumania for hosting cia black sites i thought it was quite. good of course it came late we knew that the lithuanians in the polls and the rumanians and

many other countries including thailand. had cooperated in the kidnapping torture and so forth. of these cia sites but it was good to get it on the record and people should take notice oddly it also indicates that gina haskell will probably not be able to land in places like berlin or paris without some trepidation that should be arrested on the spot under the principle of universal jurisdiction i have to say though that they haven't been direct connections with the new boss of the cia to that but you think anyway the united states will be that worried that alone there arguable proxies of a one hundred twenty thousand dollar fine seem to be. critics well i have to mention that china has bill is directly responsible for what happened to the shiri one of the people who was also tortured in lithuania when she was there onsite

as he was water boarded in thailand so the fact that she was able to dance away from that charge during the senate hearing was really unconscionable the judges according to some news outlets that she oversaw mock executions and rectal feeding of of it all right. less sherry well you know it was really gruesome you mention the senate investigation report four years in the making and released just before the current chair richard burr took the chair of the senate intelligence committee now the first thing he did was recall the copies of that senate for your report what does that tell you all right he was involved he was in the house and the senate intelligence committees when all this was going on their joint. at the hip the overseers are not overseers they're over lookers and what they do is kind

of take care of people like gina has spoken and instead of requiring her to answer the questions they let her go to executive session boss in fairness to gina many people in the mainstream newspapers of record whatever they say this is the context of the nine eleven and surely you're not suggesting nuremberg rules should apply the f.t. here the japanese own financial times said a hospital coworker said the torture was okayed by the white house the department of justice and the cia's had caught is not put. you can't ok torture ok. the u.s. is signatory to the universal declaration on torture the un declaration which says no no circumstances civil war emergencies of any kind exempt a party from the prohibition on torture worse still torture doesn't work no matter

what president from says you know i go i was an army officer an infantry intelligence officer i know the drill ok if that's the case why do you think the recent twenty six team pew survey said the u.s. public were kind of divided on this forty eight percent for torture forty eight percent forty nine percent maybe against torture well precisely for the reason that you would use a few minutes ago and that is you said in fairness to jena house bill the media is saying that such and such. please don't quote the major media in fairness to jena has major media is a tool of the deep state of our country and that the major media including new york times doesn't publish anything sensitive without checking first with the cia so you know why do americans believe that hollywood t.v. the. they've been they've been brainwashed into thinking that torture works and the

senate committee report that you mentioned four years in the making issued in december of two thousand and fourteen proves that all these techniques based on cia original documents doesn't work that nothing no actionable intelligence was acquired they could not have and was not acquired by other reasonable normal legal interrogation techniques and are now claims that you case is right now a sharing intelligence obtained under torture the british shadow foreign secretary and lethal and very writing to the british foreign secretary barnes johnson that this how dangerous would be the practice of sharing intelligence amongst nato nations of intelligence obtained under torture well with all due respect m i five m i six takes their cue from cia and the americans i mean what more do you need to use but ambassador craig murray in east on he's in receipt of

interrogation reports we which he knows on the scene are gain from torture ok and he says to the foreign office you know this this really shouldn't be foreign offices or our british citizens doing this and he says well if british this is our doing it sure can get in and followed it craig very quick to his great credit so you get a kind of a bureaucratic inertia here were the americans say it's ok it's so facto it's ok well it's not ok you are at the cia how can you police and my five m i six the cia or f.b.i. to not use an intelligence file that may have emanated from one of the united states is black sites around the world let's say would say you want to prove that al qaeda is hand in glove with saddam hussein to help justify a war against. we're saying well you know what you can get that from torture we had

this prisoner he wouldn't admit that there were close ties between al qaeda and saddam hussein so we sent them to the egyptians a friendly service and guess what they got into it at mit in quotes that yes he sent all manner of operatives up to baghdad to be turned to be trained in explosives and and chemical weapons and guess what that was used by colin powell it is speech before the u.n. on the fifth of february two thousand and three just six weeks before the war to justify what he called the sinister nexus between al qaeda and saddam hussein made out of whole cloth whether colin powell was deceived as he claims he was or whether re he was smart enough to realize what was going on that's an open question but it was right from torture and it was the case with the torture works you get people to say what you want them to say that's the only time it works

and it only works with inaccurate information. you were of course at the cia under many presidents i wondered what you thought or made of the fact that britain's new home secretary sajid javid says that secret lists of people from m i five should be circulated in civic society to intervene on people to combat everything from isis to russia what he would do you think of that idea of secret lists secret lists you know what i remember of secret lists or one of the nazis came into the netherlands for example and each mayor had a secret list in those days it was on paid for ok the names of all the citizens including their religion ok now the mayor's with some conscience destroyed those lists before the nazis get a hold of them the ones that wanted accommodate they said oh yeah well here they are the jewish. people right here and those people are taken off immediately to auschwitz and other concentration camps if that's what you get from secret lists

those who are bad enough on paper on computer they're really mischievous another proposal he has been reported here is the first time this would be able to be done at airports in britain and all ports people who from the security services immigration offices would be able to question people who have arrived who they suspect osp eyes not for being terrorists but for being spies would you make of that initiative well this is part and parcel of this trick pony and overreaction to . two terrorist events now what you're going to do is just harass the general public to the point where actual sensible regulations are completely discredited and disregarded it's quite amazing how people have lost all sense of proportion because of nine eleven because of seven seven because of terrorists acts and no one asks why is it always that the.
