world news this hour first to sweden where a parliamentary candidate claimed that he was attacked by a migrant at an alternative to sweden party rally in a town in the west of the country tensions flared during campaigning for a general election that seen a surge in support for euro skeptic right wing parties with more details his maria financial we've gotten used to pictures of shootings and car burnings from sweden called vulnerable neighborhoods but the upcoming swedish elections has brought violence to an every day street. a member of the rightwing elton's of for sweden party was attacked at a meeting with both tories one of my colleagues from alternative for sweden being attacked by an immigrant youth who attended a meeting in with me and shouting all over the meeting i was attacked two of them i tried to protect my friend and colleague and remember. and starting hitting false

in the face both with a few eggs at our vehicle when we left the scene they ran after and when we had to stop going to the red lights they kicked the car. swedish police never confirmed the attackers ethnicity but the party member with phone to him as an immigrant but that is not all they blame immigrants for an overall high criminality rate and low security across the country although the connection was never established officially the alternative the party offers to sweden is sealed borders and immigrants sent back to where they came from their past creation a state of immigration they say and also a toff a police and a stronger army the meeting gathered some supporters but the majority came to voice their discontent because he was saying that we need to clean sweden we need to get every foreigner of affair with

a need to be united. in the old days you might leave that not really because if you look back in time three notes always take you in for injuries so if you didn't think in new people if when of course we are racist always streets where race is still no streets party saying they want to take down all the immigrants and then the people is unhappy they don't like it as long as we can integrate them into swedish society may become they've become a swedish says me because i'm also an immigrant from belgium as the as long as they become swedish and they work and they do a normal swedish things it's absolutely no problem as long as they they can keep their religion they can keep their culture but they should speak swedish and they should work miniger immigrants here feel like they're not included in the society police told us they are always invited to meet him it's like this one many parties . have a lie. me too so. i thought if.

a lot of people did lie don't like. opinions that's why we call the police it's always like this when it's time to elections sweden will hold the general election in just ten days tensions are high ahead of the national veined that could be historic the rolling left tween social democrats the oldest and largest party in sweden could see its worst result in the last one hundred years as right wing ideas again more and more popularity. r.t. from sweden and migrations also a massive issue for germany where an anti fascist rally is drawing thousands in berlin it comes in response to anti migrant protests in the city of candidates up to twenty people were injured in the course of clashes between opposing groups our europe correspondent peter out of an article for thursday evening saw a small demonstration taking place just behind me here in the city of cam that the

group calling themselves proclaim that they have come out and said that they aren't happy with the current system now they were saying from the stage that was set up just behind me that there was a anger certainly towards what they described as the western media patrolling them is right wing neo nazis they said they definitely weren't. to fit from the right wing or neo nazis what they wanted to say that they were was angry with the state officials here in sussex any particularly the prime minister who they said was a disgrace. when we see what asylum seekers are getting compared with old people poor young people's germans these are facts i don't need to say anymore it's not surprising that people explode. when it's just what happened on sunday was only the beginning of something that has been simmering for a long time here in stock. to buy

a new horse and see hope for the german interior minister had pledged that he would be sending extra police to came it's to make sure that there wasn't a repeat of the violence that we saw on monday evening we've seen police vehicles with registrations from far and wide across germany here is reinforcements have been drafted in but this all came about following the tragic killing of a thirty five year old man in the early hours of sunday morning in the city of came and it's now two men are in custody in connection with that killing a twenty two year old and a twenty three year old one from syria one from iraq now that prompted sparked a. violent rampage by far right football hooligans as well as other members of the fight on sunday which said we're looking for foreigners then we saw clashes on monday evening in cannes that's between the between those people who are described as the far right and also from on t.v. fascist demonstrators from the far left that was older than twenty people being

injured two of those police officers thursday evening you know people here say it the way they think their politicians in particular paying attention to them when it comes to refugees and migrants and who has the rights to be here and that's the way it looks from kim that's right now. the ribbons used as the symbol of support for jailed opposition politicians in the spanish region of catalonia been removed overnight by anti independence activists in the city of juror no eighty people wearing white suits and masks gathered up the ribbons into rubbish sacks the group called themselves brigades to clean yellow ribbons and to free catalonia a spokesperson told us they wanted to show that public spaces should stay neutral. one of the white suit is our way of putting forward our demands we put on the suits to draw attention we also consider it to be a form of protest first of all we went there to get rid of those yellow. and to

deliver the message that public places are neutral that they should be neutral our opponents should respect public places everything depends on the camp you belong to we believe that their freedom of speech ends where ours begins it's that simple that one or members of the right wing program unionist citizens party in catalonia joined in as well with its president albert riviera removing ribbons tied to roadside fences. enough public places belong to all catalonians defend them every day today and removed the yellow ribbons from the expenses were continued to defend the streets and squares of catalonia meanwhile pro independence activists have been busy putting the ribbons back they say they represent democracy and those who remove them are restricting the freedom of secession supporters of catalan politicians were arrested for their role in an independence referendum last october which was ruled illegal by madrid the leaders of the movement were accused of rebellion and sedition referendum sparked mass

protests and clashes between demonstrators and police. the nobel committee has defended its decision to award myanmar's prime minister a peace prize that's despite a united nations report on the mass killing and atrocities committed by the country's government forces against the range of minority claims the government denies here's artie's donald quarter. the treatment of the real hinge a minority in myanmar equates to genocide that's the conclusion made by the un with ethnic cleansing happening on the watch of nobel peace prize laureate sun suchi and despite public demand to rescind cheese award the nobel committee insists she should keep it.

in. the un report demands me and marse top generals be investigated for crimes against humanity it also accuses misty of turning a blind eye to it all but that's all right because the nobel committee says it's only concerned with what happened in the past. it's important to remember that's a noble prize whether in physics literature peace is awarded for some prize worth the effort or achievement of the past i'm certain he won the nobel prize for peace for who fight for democracy and freedom up until ninety ninety one the year she was awarded the prize. well if we're to believe the committee only cares about

recipients pasts they're going to have some explaining to do here. yasser arafat received the peace prize for brokering a middle east accord securing palestinian rule in gaza and the west bank at the same time he was the chair of the palestinian liberation organization responsible for violence against israeli civilians who they can. siddur to be part of an illegal occupation arafat did renounce the violence before receiving the award but how about another nobel peace prize laureate henry kissinger. kissinger received the prize for negotiating a cease fire in the vietnam war he was set to share the nomination with north vietnamese diplomat late dr except the vietnamese responded with a big no thank you and to no one's amazement that's because kissinger had been secretly bombing cambodia throughout the nineteen seventies as disclosed in

a pentagon report he approved almost four thousand bombing raids in just the first two years of the campaign. and last but not least as barack obama many were left puzzled as to what obama had exactly done to receive his peace prize but just like the others the nobel committee said it had something to do with his past only very rarely has a person to the same extent as obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future we are not awarding the prize for what may happen in the future but for what he has done in the previous year we hope this will enhance what he is trying to do what exactly obama did in that previous year is a mystery to most people. i think actions of racism of khowst a shadow over one kind of its bid to be the new governor of florida in the united

states. he is an articulate spokesman for those far left views and he's a charismatic candidate so we've got to work hard to make sure that we continue florida going in a good direction the last thing we need to do is to monkey this by trying to embrace a socialist agenda. with a huge tax increase is. the last thing we need to do is to monkey this. let's talk about that stunning upset in the florida florida gubernatorial race florida's democratic party has called those comments disgusting and accused of making racist dog whistles that's how white folks talk about. it is zero to do with the race shot has everything to do with whether we won florida continue to go in a good direction there are moments when you need to apologize and that's what used

to happen from the congress and. the international olympic committee president has admitted that the war on doping in sport might never be won thomas back to come under fire for that comment especially from america's anti doping agency which claims back has just given up lexie ever ship to get takes a look at all this could mean a russian athlete. while the world of sports continues its fight against doping the president of the international olympic committee has made a very honest and a very sad admission but pink. who will always happen. who's. one of the walls you cannot read those words did not sit well with the chief of the u.s. anti-doping agency travers' tygart obviously a top flight but the leader of florence i don't can't simply throwing it out he

probably has a point especially since doping scandals have hit tiger's own turf just this week alone two u.s. athletes received lengthy bans for substance abuse that's while pundits blame anti-doping officials for turning a blind eye when it comes to domestic sport or rather multibillion businesses like the n.f.l. but thomas back strong words weren't the trigger for your side as criticism tiger to assume that the i.o.c. presidents quote was essentially a precursor to water reinstating the russian anti-doping agency at that meeting scheduled for september twentieth but he did say that he hoped russia had learned its lesson the hard way and would be welcomed back into the world of sports and that was something tiger stressed must not happen would be a devastating blow to russia has made a lot of credibility as well as the hopes and dreams of millions around the world who believe in. competition russia and its anti-doping agency have been imprisoned

for several years now after the publication of the so-called mclaren report which detailed accusations of a state sponsored doping program the result many russian athletes banned the country's anti-doping agency effectively shut down and water handing over a lengthy criteria list for ricin to be reinstated last year the agency acknowledged that nineteen of thirty one points had been met and just this month the president of water said there were only two conditions remaining. two off thirty one but they still had to be purified i think relationships to the point that we have yet to purify the two conditions that are still outstanding sure more needs to be done with new accusations and new anti-doping investigations russia still has three weeks to put things right so has tiger jumped the gun in demanding russia to be kept out the final two criteria we're talking about. russia is

supposed to say hands up the mclaren report was right we did engage in state sponsored doping russia has absolutely rejected the mclaren reports finding not because they don't believe you russia is quite rightly said we want the evidence thomas bach himself has requested the evidence and so far nobody has seen it apart we presume for mclaren it is only a guess at this but i think the first steps to a reinstatement will be taking place towards the end of september when there is a big meeting of water and i think that the outcome will be that russia will be readmitted i think it will be an unconditional reinstatement but eventually i think people will just have to say well ok russia are not admitting the state sponsored doping but we need them anyway they are a world power in sports and sport needs russia keeping sports clean is something

that both the i.o.c. president and ahead of us anti-doping agency are striving to achieve but can you really demand one thing from another country when similar dropping scandals break out in your own backyard one thing's for sure the next water meeting in the seychelles is looking like politics and doping will go down the finish line and this is a new information on the killing of three russian journalists in the central african republic might shed light on their murders is among all stories still ahead after the break.

most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest race in truth to stand out on the lose business you just need as the right questions and demand the right answer. questions.

hello again the united states says it shifting its focus from fighting terrorism to entering an arms race with other major well powers but is it playing catch up or going into overdrive to boost its own noms industry. great power competition not terrorism is now the primary focus of us now good to spread a good fit for our time. six. six . six. six six. six. six. six. six. six.

six you mentioned the navy for example that we have fewer ships that we did in one nine hundred sixty governor we also have a few horses and bayonets the nature of our military is changed. the world changed right russia and china appear competitors and we have to think about our defense different ways and we have in the past when you look at the three major superpowers china russia and the united states all three of directly china and russia really upgraded their forces in the last five years so now the united states is playing catch up a little bit on some of those people who are the problem isn't we see. more money than the rest of the world on military equipment and manpower this is about big business these current companies make billions are the united states plus the illegal arms shipment state they sent around the world in eighty eight states is in

a constant build up of weaponry in a constant arms raised. fresh revelations have surfaced which could potentially shed light on the mysterious murder of three russian journalists in the central african republic at the end of july with signs that their perilous trip was badly managed the journalists were probing alleged links between the kremlin and private military companies operating in the country they were found dead in a bullet riddled car russian tycoon a vocal critic of president putin. sponsored the investigation and that's led to some speculation in the mainstream media that the murder could have been politically motivated and khodorkovsky himself doubled down on those claims. do you have any reason to believe that these men were killed because of the work they were doing. in the uk yes i think exactly that i have a screen shots of text messages between the team organizing the trip on the slain journalists which have recently surfaced indicate possible serious managerial

lapses prompted khodorkovsky to hold his support for the outlet the journalist working full to discuss the revelations with correspondent. the group chat featured the three members of the current also their boss back at the h.q. plus a couple of producers at this point the screenshots can not shed light on what exactly happened on that tragic day and the probe is of course far from being over but the screen shots allow us to trace the preparations that were actually being undertaken for working in one of the most dangerous countries in africa and also the crew and their h.q. people kept using that very same group chat as their means of communication when the trip began and just have a look at some of these elements of the preparations we've got a pretty small press cards in english and also a u.n.

sign for the car. make sure you film how you get rid of the press cards do it in a creative way and with commentry so apparently according to these messages from their h.q. faking u.n. credentials was part of their plan yes and by the way the group later claimed that they were working in the central african republic in coordination with the united nations however eventually the un said that they knew nothing of it so again the plan suggested that the group could use their freshly printed press cards at one stage of the travel and then burn them out another we don't know the purpose of that well they knew that they were about to break the law by entering the country on tourist visas but as a journalist on active duty without any accreditation you might argue that most of the central african republic is lawless land so your logical assumption would be

that they must have had a go to person on the ground then definitely a proper translator and for sure a carefully thought through plan and reality though when they arrived in the country they didn't even have the phone number of their fixer he didn't show up at the airport and they were never able to get in touch with them and at the end of the day they didn't have a proper i'd temporary and so issues started piling up one after another upon arrival and here's some of the other parts of the messages that the crew sent in the group chat guys were in a bit of a logistical disaster the locals are just in adequate gadgets are absolutely alien to them there's a feeling of total helplessness when it comes to language basically no one speaks english the journalists mission and the ca are obviously meant that they were supposed to sneak through some heavy security and have

a look at what the cameraman texted and the group chat after one of their failed attempts to do just that we couldn't get in they said it's only possible with a permit from the defense ministry plus two cops met us with all our equipment by the hotel we had to bribe them. then we were stopped at a checkpoint and other bribe but a smaller one the locals the cameras as a negative unfriendly thing and what kind of directions did their bosses give them at that point they were told to keep going the group was losing money on bribes they were never even able to get and touch with their all the english speaking guide however when everything seemingly went out of control messages from age you kept urging them to stay on track to go there by as you paid a lot of money to get to this country you shouldn't give up about any permit we need a translator to find him when he's held from being the new it's impossible to storm

into the security retore and i'm not sure we have to go to the ministry and be tough with the bribes next time what rules did you violate tell them you're going to go to the embassy except for this group chat clearly points at the fact that there were real security issues that the crew was facing before their tragic death if you're trying to that's the way look from moscow this hour thanks very much for watching i'll have you next r.t. well after larry king. b.k.'s national camera. man three once they showed some mislead for them.

to each other in cool videos and film with the rocky string apps. running down the mall on string i don't roughly dot tv. a parting of ways european leaders talk of a future without the u.s. what is in store for the transatlantic alliance and much much more on the suspicion across the. president from tweeted that white house legal counsel dong again is out this fall what does that mean for the white house strategy against the mode probe we'll take a look at that on this edition of. the politicking on larry king white house counsel dong began the man who single handedly stopped donald trump from firing robert muller in the summer of two thousand and seventeen is leaving his post the announcement which the president made via twitter whedon's day morning comes

a mirror levon days after the full extent of against cooperation with special counsel robert moses investigation was made public so what do we make of this departure and what does it mean for the president's strategy now in dealing with the russian probe will start there with elliot williams he spent nearly eight years as a senior political appointee. he served as deputy assistant attorney general for legislative affairs at the new apartment of justice and his assistant director for legislative affairs at u.s. immigrations and customs enforcement he's also served as your dish ery committee counsel to senator chuck schumer he's in our nation's capital all right what's your read on them again departure of the. it was announced earlier. the way it was announced is probably the most striking thing about it because once again as we've learned it was through a tweet done again they had been talking about it apparently prior to prior to the

release of this tweet you know there were maybe discussions that mcgann would have alternately helped would have stayed until the confirmation of brett kavanaugh if that were to happen later this fall and then would leave afterward i think dunn again was a surprise as any of the rest of us when he saw the tweet this afternoon that he's apparently now definitely leaving in the fall and it's. it's a continuation of the way the president has handled terminations and personal disputes or matters over the years this is not the first time he's fired a staffer or at least announced the departure of a staffer by tweet and it's to some extent horrible management of an office another point here though larry is what led to it and to some extent we can only speculate that the president is handling began in this way because of his cooperation with the independent counsel and because of the fact that you know perhaps again a scene is not sufficiently loyalty.
