call is in great britain what he thinks president elect alberto means for the future of america and the european parliament's foreign affairs committee is jordi solely on how long you beijing's will jail the democratically elected politicians all of them all going up and bonds are going underground. and that they are going to learn how to not that i'm not out of luck though they're not that i'm not out of the money out of the money that they're living not actually . this was a good time to. try to move. the.

load up out loud to get my little money not why not. why it generated the old people we believe is the opium. lot of my kids i don't want them up a son johnny what are the other moment i thought a mother having a little accuser is a little odd i'm a little work in my building let's pull out the pink i don't want to put out a love to my work party when i don't know the mother brother to. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. you know it's all about getting along with the greatest ally and friend russia

there is so you know play it good for the kids and you know if you open up there's other things in there so while we proceed here in the first half i'll just see what what go. for man are sitting in a car when the fifth gets shot in the head. all four different versions of what happened one of them is on the death row there's no way he could have done it there's no possible way because they did not shoot around a corner. welcome back elite media continues to paint labor leader jeremy corbin as a clown but one of his allies has just been elected president of the fifth largest country in the americas mexico's president elect andres manuel lopez obrador i am low was introduced to corbin by his mexican wife laura elvira's and am low his

widely been described as a leftist but when u.s. secretary of state mike bump on friday how will you work with the trumpet ministration and will post breaks it trade deals beyond the u.k. government's current policy of selling weapons to a country in the grip of violent drug war is joining me now is the founder and chairman of the mexican chamber of commerce in great britain evo dutifully eve thanks for coming on let's just begin with who. is and despite the violence election campaign how did he win well. i think i'm going to he's a familiar face in mexico. and this. has been around in the political scene for as long as i can remember. he is a person that has committed to life to politics. in one side or the other three institutional channels. the p.r.i. the p.r.

the and now martin so he's a familiar face too weary these words being the old establishment party but he's not i mean he is a new liberal is going to do well what happened back in the late eighty's is that we had the first. separation between two groups in the right the p.r.i. was a party that basically ruled mexico for seventy five years since. the revolution. and it was it was found that the d.n.r. actually my great grandfather founded the piano and i'm going to protest. and be an art was a solution that was created by the various generals fighting in the revolution to buy basically govern with stability. in a pacific way done let's not kill each other let's just organize a political party let's discuss things within the political party but once we reach

an agreement that consensus everyone goes behind the president voyeur and gets confused. obrador he said in the election that these parties you're mentioning are mafia their. state with all these bodies are just a mafia of power would you think government by that well i don't think political parties can be described as the mafia of power by either self i think you referred to certain groups of people that control the political party it's now the mafia they pull their the mafia firework has been a term used by by by i am long you know it's a very it's a way he has communicated easily with. lot of people because he's referring to a lot of things without actually explaining what he's referring to you know i'm not

has been described by some you know for being an abstract painting you know each one can understand whatever he wants to understand from his message the norm pejorative way of describing. trump. give us a lot of very very different. how different story george and drop it i mean seems to agree with trump on after he's not a fan of enough to ignore is donald trump. in the third debate actually it was curious because to agree on many things for trump raising wages in mexico which has been a discussion within the nafta renegotiation. agrees with drunks from can see there is that wages in mexico are too low and with that probably what makes them similar is that they both actually care for a majority of the population that has not been taking care of in their own jurisdictions going to the violence one hundred five thousand killed during he is i

mean these are sort of syria proportions of death and carnage in fact here there was some controversy over british government licensing weapons sales to mexico the amidst the maffia of power do you think i will be able to do anything about that. well you must think i think that is something that no one can actually avoid having to deal with. the level of violence has. has caused grown to levels that cannot be sustained like you know you could put the drug cartels out of business if we legalize drugs presumably which would terrify which is in the agenda i think. you know it is not still clear exactly what they're going to do it has been mentioned that there is an intent of legalizing at least canaries. i think the u.s. gets ninety percent of cocaine it's gained through mexico apparently yes and. i think

this has to do you know the problem with drugs is international i think it has to do not only with mexico but it has to do with the whole consumer market in the u.s. you know you cannot go against the economic loss as long as people are buying drugs someone will go and sell them so this is an approach that i think is quite sensible i don't see how you can think about nafta without thinking all the implications of our bilateral relation between mexico and the u.s. it has for the with migration is has to do with security issues it has to do with selling weapons illegally has to do with money laundering and all that needs to be taken care in court the need to wait and trade is part of all that because to the extent that mexico. grace has its level of growth its economic growth.

to the extent that mexico can also raise wages to the extent that mexico can actually you know bring those that are falling behind in this process to better status economically it's going to be the best for everyone i'm not mentioning he's winning speech the point is how to make the conditions in mexico for mexicans not to have to go to the u.s. to work i think in order to solve the migration problem it's not putting a wall it's actually putting all the conditions in mexico for mexico mexican to prosper and be able to make a decent living living producing and be happy in their own country if i owed it to lee thank you you're very welcome thank you for having me. finally now to today's meeting in a palace reconstructed after the spanish civil war catalan president jim giora new spanish socialist pm pedro sanchez me to madrid after democratically elected

catalan politicians of either being jailed or issued arrest warrants the fate of one of them professor saudi of st andrews university will be discussed in edinburgh tomorrow in a meeting between torah and scottish first minister nicola sturgeon joining me now via skype from strasburg is george de soleil he's a member of the european parliament representing spain for the republican left of catalonia and he's on the european parliament's committee on foreign affairs jointly thanks so much for coming on just before we get to the fate of professor glare upon society as successful as been this e.u. catalonia dialogue platform after your paris meeting perhaps it will meet in london next. yes we were last week in some inaction. in the french founder and the lead it was successful in the sense that we could explain to some friends and b.s. the current situation in iran here also and of our platform from

the from the european parliament we were very interested in change of the us and look at. dr. peace from different political affiliations to look at this and that's precisely what we want to do on this date at the exchange of views and information with and based what about professor clare up on sat is it understandable that there are fears in scotland in britain now that scottish prosecutors have been given the go ahead on behalf of spain to begin extradition proceedings on the allegations a violent rebellion. we dress the sort this out and to do so he. already see how the belgian should use it he discovered it use a location of this turkish. city should reveal

a misuse of funds. wait in the station in in germany i'm sounding that which someone we completely address all this into the city systems. going through to the spanish one. a notice that goes that chair to this. against politicians i don't want members of go around completely disproportionate. they have no solid basis and it shows a lack of quality that i will say a ranking. system in spain what is the mood like in brussels strasburg do they understand that around the world politicians everywhere looking on as democratically elected politicians in europe being i think there was

a report the other day saying well at least they're going to be moved from prisons in madrid to prisons in catalonia do they understand what the data be about and i have you know a very big balance on that fifty one member of. member states of rome defender but in ideological grounds so you can find very different opinions on one on what's going on what i would say. vast majority of the member seeing this chambre. don't understand the way the spanish government and the spanish estate reacted after the events let's look don't put the image and they don't understand it so there's no comprehend. that perhaps the whole reputation of the european union is now in tatters the european commission president york are saying intervention would cause chaos whatever bedroom sanchez the so-called socialist prime minister does the european union is now synonymous with jailing

democratically elected politicians is that because it is the sixth largest economy it is an economic situation because you are on the budget committee. spending is an important member state of the european union not only in its economic sales but also its political weight. and and in the video screen you know the our politics just in. the action have been commission in general of the institution which has been disappointing it's over some people are saying the e.u. were saying it might intervene in italy for it because italy was perceived to be you can you can the politicians in brussels understand way here in britain people understand breck's it because they don't want to be part of a european union that defacto drowns refugees in the mediterranean jails

democratically elected politicians and seems to act for its own own institutions rather than for the suppose a devalues the e.u. is founded on. the answer to that to my in my mind to maybe you should be. modern direction instead of lessons and direction should be more europe instead of less of course. one of the reasons that explain. this reaction of the institutions to war or what happened and what's going on in catalonia one of the reasons is that. you know. it's still too much based on the bible. of national states and in that context is still national interest. and important to a lot. national states then to defend themselves even if it

implies. doubling up land by where elations on the main wage thing you and you want president you to take more power over that's the answer to the jailing of democratically elected politicians is the nation think of a robot then you know i want i want another more democratic europe a well tool to be very strong through the act the strongly against governments regulate bases on the member of the regs jordi thought i thank you. all that said for one of your favorite shows from this season will continue to share your favorite episodes until we're back for season one wins in the fifth of september don't come to us by social media.

you know my back want to know what it was. but i. get. there so i go hide oh i lost his bus because i just got then you just gotta go resources you know just about anybody on a month although it doesn't but that's honest i don't mean that there's been a. so i says you know what i was you're not. you're not just i mean most wanted i'm already but it was sped up out of me just got to go immediately i mean the lord. has been up as well i must admit that he feels i just don't get off on getting noticed but those were the old they're just beautiful songs those people are going to respect i'm one of those but i was just this weather this part of the game i want my family fussing about my just but that's already yes it will be in

the thought of getting up there calling cuisia you seem to mean to carry out my thought aloud but let me just quote to you. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us as a rich one trillion dollars in debt more than ten thousand dollars fine champion each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be all for rich with six percent market songs thirty percent the first one is two years some with two hundred to five hundred trees per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember it was one distance shows you can afford to miss the one and only.

leave commute. long enough it would seem. it will as a way of all. of us. are given by the community. and people we are being stranded in order to. look out for me or look at us or i will go towards him. because i. know. that. like. she's going to receive me very badly because all the. girls. i know you're going to this. the fact i was

also i am not happy in my life. i've seen mom have to die. journalism finds itself in the media spotlight in the u.s. after c.n.n. refuses to or trying to trump collusion story even after the network source backtracked on his most serious claims. with the designs of bonsa looming over the last rebel stronghold in syria the russian foreign minister warns that the us is seemingly prefer a regime change than removing terrorists. more cracks emerge in europe over the migration issue is the french president says he's now the main opponents to the hardline anti migrant leaders of italy and hungary.

a very warm welcome it's five pm here in moscow and you're watching r.t. international with me thank you aaron great to have you with us. now the top story this hour c.n.n. is under fire off the air refused to retract a breaking news story on collusion between donald trump and russia despite the news channels publicly with roaring a significant claim the whole story was based on ok with more details on this is our correspondent thanks for coming in so how does this work exactly why has the network being danding by this story and he this is indeed a special one and i really want to share with you some of the observations that i have made for how things are done when it comes to russia collusion stories by the media across the atlantic we have gotten used to some of the media organizations running sensational stories just because

a number of sources told them this or that but i want to ask you what if this anonymous source reveals his identity and then says that the story's not true or says that he's made a mistake perhaps you would expect the news out to possibly take a step back make some sort of correction or at least allow some sort of skepticism possibly even take the story down altogether not if you're c.n.n. . we stand by our story and are confident in our reporting of it and here's the original bombshell story from c.n.n. from a month ago sources with knowledge tell myself and call that michael cohen claims then candidate donald trump knew in advance about the june twenty sixth meeting in trump tower crucially these sources tell us that cohen is willing to make that

assertion to the special counsel robert mohler. so this massive sensation was that donald trump's former lawyer would be ready to tell american investigators that mr trump had known about this infamous sit down at the trump tower featuring his son and the russians of course this counts for sensation because many people would see that as solid evidence for the fact that the collusion had happened but a few weeks later a man called lanny davis who is michael cohen's own lawyer comes out and says that he was c.n.n.'s source be that he's made a mistake and that his insight into this complicated story was misinterpreted and then eventually he even appeared on c.n.n.

a few times to reiterate that. the reporting of this story. so michael does not have information that president trump knew about the from terror meeting with the russians beforehand or you know. so michael collins attorney has were trying to piss live on and c.n.n. still running this story has c.n.n. taken any steps to defend its position well first of all i can tell you that they did nothing to warn their viewers and readers that the story could have been falls in fact the even began at tacking the person who was their source in the first place blaming him for changing his mind like the wind i'm not trying to tell you that the story is false for sure but again possibly there could have been some doubt and i can also tell you that when c.n.n. first broke this story first broke the news based on

a tip from the sources they mentioned that mr davis declined to comment on the matter but now. we know that mr davis and their source is the same man that was the reaction to this from other u.s. journalists other international media the likes of washington post for example or the new york times they all came out with some sort of follow ups or editor's notes saying that you know the story is complicated and they definitely mentioned that mr davis retracted they broke the original story after c.n.n. but then again at least from them there was some sort of doubt that was the point though when journalists came to c.n.n. they asked them for comment all c.n.n. said was we stand by our report and it is still right because we had multiple sources have any of these sources been revealed no has c.n.n.

cast and the glimmer of doubt on this story you know. we know that some people at the department of justice to the f.b.i. actually gave information to the media then the stories were reported and then they use those reports to justify further investigations. well we were a bit too early to play the sound bite by one of the american republican congressman but i would like to tell you the story behind it this explains why these kinds of stories are very important especially if you are american citizens if you are an american citizen because i'll use just heard this was politician says that pushing these stories through like that may be a proper tactic a tactic that's actually used by some forces in american politics to start further legal action and to continue these ongoing investigations that right now it seems

will never end and if thanks for coming in to bring in as those details is say it's a fascinating story and one which will no doubt. be called concerning to viewers of c.n.n. as well so thanks for that. heading on now the last stronghold of rebel and terror groups in syria the northern province of it live rounded by army forces with a decisive battle looming the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov has warned that the u.s. seemingly prefers regime change rather than ridding the area of terrorists. we have the impression that u.s. threats against damascus aimed at preventing terrorist from being expelled there is not the first time the us no matter which administration has prioritised the task of changing dissidents regimes above the common goals of a red occasion terrorism and extremism we believe these egotistical unilateral political games are counterproductive we believe all the conflicts should be solved

multilaterally with open contacts between countries including regional countries. well as tensions mount in the russians the answer for syrian reconciliation ses it's received intelligence on the delivery of toxic substances to the province it claims the material has been brought in with the help of the white helmets rescue group for use in a false flag attack russia has previously warned militants are preparing to stage a chemical attack on has more on the potential escalation of the situation in libya . it is shaping up to be the end a last showdown between jihad ists and the syrian army it is the last remaining stronghold of islamist and rebels what's worse is the foreign power buildup in the region out of the blue u.s. cruise missile delivery systems guided missile destroyers strategic bombers

a re basing and dropping anchor near syria days after the u.s. and its allies warned that take action if chemical weapons are used by as sad as we have demonstrated we will respond appropriately to any further use of chemical weapons by the syrian regime and russia which is beefing up its own presence warns that it's the islamists that are plotting just that the u.s. continues to expand its presence of cruise missile carriers in the middle east which is connected to the preparations for another false flag incident allegedly involving chemical weapons russian reports of u.s. military buildup in the eastern med and nothing more than propaganda it's not true that does not mean however that we are prepared to respond should the president direct such an action the united states denies building up its forces but says it's ready to attack syria if need be the good news is that russia and the united states

are also apparently in talks to prevent any potential use of chemical weapons but the danger remains the worst case scenario an international escalation militarily the rebels stand little chance against the syrian army what could save them is a foreign intervention caused by for example a staged chemical attack syrian armed forces have no chemical weapons and no plans to use it with when you go there is no military necessity for to snuff anat for the russians to assert that the syrians have no chemical weapons sensible people will not. militarily use this means to draw the fire of three powerful countries upon themselves we have no information about being to live it and consider it as an invitation for the on the rebel groups to stage another chemical attacks as they did it in the east and that.
