a political force are no longer ready to give them twenty billion a year let's not engage in finger painting we also believe in constructive comments lessel and threats are not helpful and will not get us any closer to solution the boat at the center of the route has been stuck in port and able to dock since monday night with one hundred seventy seven migrants on board they've now begun a hunger strike in protest and with the tensions growing even the united nations decided to get involved because in its latest report the organization doesn't all e.u. states to take part in the relocation process and then italy in particular to allow all the refugees on board the boat to disembark italian government in the meantime is now allowed sixteen migrants off the boat for medical treatment as well as twenty seven youngsters. ok or do you need to step up in the meantime we lot about maintaining health and human rights standards on board the day we have

allowed miners to disembark. a professor of early modern european history been a teenager say the crisis goes beyond migrants. in america right. and lives goes well beyond the problem. reorganize. so they can. leave and. consider and since for some states in the brain. it's not. so. very on. par with. such a man. because he. is a major. a lot of things are not going. to. go. the poverty line is.

the more my grandson and he is a. sensible way face by the middle of the. race and must go back and professional way as the. last forces have been on the sleaze spilling the beans about rush's alleged hacking for some time particularly the twenty seven twenty sixteen presidential election intelligence sources tell him b.c. news there is no doubt the russians are trying to influence the presidential election a source tells n.b.c. news law enforcement and democratic sources telling c.n.n. that in a fight sources two sources with links to the counter intelligence community anonymous sources according to anonymous washington post source. but with november's midterm elections fast approaching those sources have gone cold apparently at least that's according to the new york times the article there names

a number of reasons for this citing u.s. officials according to them they have gone to ground under pressure by russian security services also the expulsion of u.s. intelligence officers from moscow played a role as did the outing of a of an f.b.i. informant back in may human rights lawyer dan koval it believes there are far more reasons though for washington to worry about its election system than the alleged russian meddling. here we have no evidence that russia is trying to interfere in the mid-term elections two thousand and eighteen and yet they take the some of the new york hour and takes the absence of evidence is evidence you know but that that seems par for the course for the scandal and i would say that people probably have a right not to believe that the us electoral system but that because russia allege russian interference but because frankly you have a system that is skewed by moneyed interests by mass just in franchise middle of people particularly african-americans. you have

a lot of gerrymandering which benefits one party over another usually the republicans those are things that people should worry about russia interference foreign you're watching us international still ahead fee this hour spanish football fans are outraged at the moment in news that some of the games a set to be played on u.s. soil will have a look at that story person the just after the break. you know world big partisan through things a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit 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 bath and 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. when lawmakers manufacture consensus uncertainty of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the room signal. room the real news room. here with r.t. now russia's defense ministry has claimed that terrorists in syria are preparing to

stage a chemical attack in order to provoke a western military intervention. according to information confirmed by several independent sources terrorist groups to hear sham is preparing another provocation aimed at implicating the syrian government in the use of chemical weapons against the civilian population it was a province. of. the provocation which is being organized with the active help of british intelligence services is intended to serve as yet another pretext for a missile strike by the u.s. the u.k. and france again state an industry facilities in syria we now see plans for

the syrian regime to resume our phones of military activities and it would prove that. we are obviously concerned. about the possibility that it may use chemical weapons again if the syrian regime uses chemical weapons we will respond strongly i think washington is preparing for a strike in the region and for all the wrong reasons you know i think you got to look at the bigger picture of what's happening in syria america is looking increasingly in significant i mean to use the term losers is almost an understatement they don't really seem to have any real impact on the ground anymore with their biggest ally in the whole region the kurds in the last few days looking more and more like is are they going to strike a deal with the assad regime so you've got a certain amount of embarrassment on trump's side you know people in america not just media but all sorts of people are asking well what is america actually doing there on the ground. our recent tweets to suggest that donald trump wants new trade

talks with china it does appear that beijing is a little more hesitant to talk trump's impingement growing ever louder reports now say that the chinese could wait until after the u.s. mid-term see how things do pan out for the american president. as more. 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 films accord ahead of 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 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 those who talk about impeaching donald trump are 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 it's not hard line position for the time being the chinese feel that they have been betrayed and mr trump has not followed through on his word they had a joint statement and a consensus that north tariffs were going to be issued the china agreement collapsed within a week and at this point of time there's just no trumpet nor trust in his ward and i do not see. serious decisions and serious outcomes coming 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. finally this hour barcelona's legal messy and real madrid spurs other club captains in spain's top football league are poised to go on strike that after the league's officials did sign a deal with no american company to play regular games on u.s. soil spanish fans aren't thrilled either the prospect of having to fork out and try out. reports 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 a company 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 tony krause could not hide his feelings on

twitter to boot the timetable of the game so late ten or even later worked a. bust and thus 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 the 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 el classico reale vs 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 charge 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. didn't need any of that let me show you. how we. got it doesn't that. what. the boxer. but all kids are suffering more than 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 bastard 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 i don't see how starting i

go to the end we unanimously against him and when we complain it's because we believe that our rights have been violated his legs said that's enough so we'll 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 a ski ski and that's the world update for this hour thanks for watching we're back again in about thirty five.

the future are laws that say that collapsed when the soviet union collapsed because of the us meddling in boris yeltsin and all that's going on they have the skyrocketing alcoholism in salt shoulder. 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 both collapsed in the one thousand nine hundred ninety period it just took a stake in the us as he describes it you no longer are to realize that collapse.

but i am finally into the now so if they can get a handle now how's it going to end on dollar on people a point i. wanted to leave you would it be that easy to the point it can get out and me. plus is that going to get the money to people who. didn't. vote but i've done my duty by my little bit too much to come about our little bit going to start up that out of money good job out of much of the woodwork to mop up to get a job but it. is one big bloody fool. somebody google. to see. if anybody.

i'm after a time when 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 sanctioned torture in a journey asians 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 box of lonely old britain they have to understand three hundred thirty million gods to get a postscript to the trade deal with the world's largest democracy we talked to india's former foreign minister yes under secretary general of the united nations structure 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 to raise a major government doesn't just want russia to go away we placing a disgrace deportation scandal home secretary is 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 prewar 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 are now planned and conducted has changed. people are increasingly being radicalized why their computers and smart phones yes terror from those radicalized by computers and smartphones 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 that the security services. are 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 mean 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 come with 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 cripples 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 balder 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 sick. 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 has both 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 the that she. picks a cue sions and rectal feeding of abbott all right. 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 there joy. and 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 hasbro and instead of requiring her to answer the questions they let her go to executive session boss in fairness to gina how many people in the mainstream newspapers of record whatever they say say there's a 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 us 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 us 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 the 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. . 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 of the british shadow foreign secretary and lethal and very writing to the british foreign secretary burns

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 all let's say you want to prove that al qaeda is hand in glove with saddam hussein to help justify a war against. saddam hussein 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 a to speak 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 about 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 paper 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 with 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 it's 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 what do you make of that initiative well this is part and parcel of this trick pony and overreaction to . terrorist events now.
