welcome to the program we start in sweden this a parliamentary candidate has claimed 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 and financial reports the country's also seeing a spike in crime levels. 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 one of my colleagues from alternative for sweden being attacked by an immigrant youth who attended a meeting him with dreamy and shouting all over the meeting i was attacked two of them i tried to protect my friend and colleague and immigrants to. hating false in

the face both of 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 front 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 only connection was never established officially the alternative the party offers to sweden is sealed borders and immigrants send back to where they came from where past relation instead 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 back in the old days you might leave that not really because if you look back in time three notes always take in for indra so if you're thinking new people if when the court we are racist on our streets where race is still no street party saying they want to take down all the immigrants and the people is unhappy they don't like it as long as we can integrate them into swedish society may become they 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 many immigrants here feel like they're they're not included in the society police told us they are always invited to my team is my face when you many porters. have a lot of. me too so sam porter is. a thought if.

a lot of people would 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 vote that could be historic the ruling left wing social democrats the oldest and largest party in sweden could see its worst result in the last one hundred years as right wing ideas are gaining more and more popularity. from sweden. the nobel committee has defended its decision not to retract the peace prize for me are not prime minister that despite a damning report from the united nations that accuses the country's army of committing mass killing and atrocities against the regimen already claims the government denies his arteries don't quarter. the treatment of the roe hinge

a minority in myanmar equates to genocide that's the conclusion made by the un the mission has concluded that criminal investigation and prosecution is warranted focusing on the top ten metod generals in relation to the three categories of crimes under international law genocide crimes against humanity and war crimes with ethnic cleansing happening on the watch of nobel peace prize laureate aung sun suu kyi and despite public demand to rescind cheese award the nobel committee insists she should keep it. on.

the un report demands me and marse top generals be investigated for crimes against humanity and 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 it's a noble prize whether in physics literature or peace is awarded for some prize worth the effort or achievement of the past i'm certain suchi 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 past they're going to have some explaining to do here. just. receive 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 consider 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 dog 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 has 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 has something to do with his past. only very rarely as 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. 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 the perilous trip was badly managed the journalists were looking into the alleged presence of russian. in the

country russian tycoon a vocal critic of president putin. sponsored their investigation the reporters were found dead in a bullet riddled car in a remote location the speculation in the mainstream media that the killings were politically motivated with claims that the russian government was somehow connected with the alleged private contractors operations that khodorkovsky too had insisted that the journalists were killed because of the investigation they were carrying out do you have any reason to believe that these men were killed because of the work they were doing. yes i think exactly that. however screenshots of text messages between the team organizing the trip and the slain journalists which have recently surfaced indicate possible serious managerial lapses that's prompted you to hold his support for the investigative journalism group they were working full jacqueline who could discuss the revelations with correspondent. the group chat featured the three members of the crew and 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 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 or 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 the men 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 shot guys when the bit of logistical disaster we just can't seem to get through to the locals took knowledge is 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 anglers 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 a so if you paid a lot of money to get to this country you shouldn't give up about any permit we need to translator to find him when he's held from being with you 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 this group chat clearly points out the fact that

there were real security issues that the crew was facing before their tragic death . the. united states says it shifting its focus from fighting terrorism to entering an arms race with other major world powers but is it playing catch up or going into overdrive to boost its own arms industry. great power competition not terrorism is now the primary focus of us now. to spread if you get it right.

you mentioned the navy for example we have fewer ships that we did in one nine hundred sixty governor we also if you're 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 superpower show you know russia and the united states all three directly china and russia really upgraded their forces in the last five years so now the united states is like. the little bit on some of those people who were the problem isn't we spend more money than the rest of the world on military equipment and manpower this is about big business these country companies make billions off the united states plus

the illegal arms shipment state they send around the world the united states is in a constant build up of weaponry and in a constant arms race getting pictures on the far off to his latest comments on athletes doping it's on next door after the break and. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you then. 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 this edition

of crossfire. 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 raid in truth to stand down in the music business you just need to ask the right questions and demand the right answer . questions. welcome back the international olympic committee president has admitted that the war on doping in sport might never be won but thomas backs come under fire for that comment especially from america's anti-doping agency which claims by has just given

up alexy irish if you take a look at what this could mean for 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 this is. one of the walls you cannot read those words did not sit well with the chief of the u.s. anti-doping agency traver tygart obviously a top flight but the leader of florence i don't think can 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 well pundits blame anti-doping officials for turning a blind eye when it comes to domestic sport or rather a multibillion businesses like the n.f.l. but thomas back strong words weren't the trigger for your side as criticism tiger

assumed that the i.o.c. president's 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's meter waters 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 reciter 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 to all thirty one but they still had to be purified i think relationships with goods 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 russia's quite rightly said we want the evidence thomas bach himself as requested the evidence and so far nobody has seen it apart we presume from mclaren it is only

a guess at this stage 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 the outcome will be that russia will be readmitted i think it will be an unconditional reinstatement but eventually on i think people would just have to say well ok russia are not admitting the been state sponsored doping but we need them anyway they are a world power in sports and sport needs russia keep. sport clean is something that both the i.o.c. president and the head of us anti-doping agency are striving to achieve but can you really demand one thing from another country when similar dopping 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. yellow ribbons used as the symbol of support for jailed opposition politicians in

the spanish region of catalonia have been removed overnight by anti independence activists in the city of toronto eighty people wearing white suits and masks gathered up the river 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. when the white suit is our way of putting forward our demands we put on the suit 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 ribbons and to deliver the message that public places are neutral that they should be neutral our opponents should respect to the 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 members of the right wing pro-union as citizens party in catalonia joined in as well with its president albert riviera removing ribbons tied to roadside fences. in the public places belong to all catalonians who will defend

them every day. today moved to yellow ribbons from fabric spaces continued to defend the streets and squares. meanwhile pro independence activists have been busy putting the ribbons back again they say they represent democracy and those who remove them are restricting the freedom of secession supporters and politicians were arrested for their role in the independence referendum last october which was illegal by madrid the leaders of the movement were accused of rebellion and sedition the referendum sparked mass protests and clashes between demonstrators and police. allegations of racism of cost a shadow of a one count of its bid to be the new governor of florida and the united states.
