when they got caught committing massive fraud on the same scale as the savings along crisis was already in place thanks to john mccain as a back man for wall street for decades yeah guys out and make them at the expense of democracy slash economy of the united states which is. a parliamentary candidate claims that the. peace prize despite a un report on the mass killing of the country's rank of minority. russian journalists in the central african republic serious security lapses in the preparations. said to the people in declaring war on yellow ribbons

in the spanish city of we'll tell you what. to do for me kevin just turned three pm here in moscow this friday afternoon international first in our headline round up for you a swedish parliamentary candidate has claimed he was tucked into as 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 the next as maria financial reports today the country's also seeing a spike in crime levels. we've gotten used to pictures of shootings and car burnings from sweden so-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 you who attended a meeting am with dreaming and shouting all over the meeting i was attacked too it was a i tried to protect my friend and colleague and this immigrant starting hating before us in the face both of the few eggs at our vehicle when we left the scene they ran after and when we had to stop going to the red light they kicked the car. swedish police never confirmed the attackers ethnicity but the party member referred 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

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 here and we need to be united to back in the old days you may believe that not really because if you look back in time three notes always take you in for indra so if you're thinking new people if when of course we are racist on our 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 to 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 or 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 they're not included in the society police told us they are always invited to meetings like this one many parties. have a lot of meetings so some part is. about the facade. 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 going to two elections sweden will hold the general election in just ten days tensions are high ahead of the national vein to that could be historic the ruling 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 are gaining more and more popularity. from sweden.

elsewhere the nobel committee has defended his decision not to retract the peace prize for me prime minister it's despite a damning report from the united nations that accuses the country's army of committing mass killing in atrocities against throwing a minority claims the government denies to this day is out he's done a quarter the treatment of the row 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 to mentor 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 own son suchi 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 missed she 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 it's physics or literature or peace is awarded for some prize worth the effort or achievement of the past i'm certain. won the nobel prize for

peace for her fight for democracy. and freedom up until ninety nine to 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 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 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 mr. to most people. fresh revelations of surface that could potentially shed light on a mysterious murder of three russian journalists in the central african republic at the end of july was signs that the perilous trip was badly managed the journalists were looking into the alleged presence of russian mercenaries in the country russian tycoon and vocal critic of president putin mikhail khodorkovsky sponsored their investigation of the reporters were found dead in a bullet riddled car in a remote location now the speculation in the mainstream media the killings were politically motivated with claims that the russian government was somehow connected with the alleged private contractors operations there got a kosky two insisted 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 dealing with. in the perk yes i think exactly that you know 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 the whole to support for the investigative journalism group there working for jack levin to discuss the revelations with correspondent illiterate. the group chat featured the three members of the curve and also their boss back at the h.q. plus a couple of producers at this point the screen shots cannot 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 and 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 man 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 a logistical disaster would just counseling 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 camera men 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 boss of 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 yourself you paid a lot of money to get to this country you shouldn't give

a 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 . the u.s. says it's 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 arms industry is the question. great power competition not terrorism is now the primary focus of u.s. national security to spread a good fit for a time. when

. you mention the maybe for example that we have fewer ships that we did in one nine hundred sixty governor we also have a few horses and bayonets but nature of our military 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 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 buildup of weaponry and in a constant arms race. new in the last hour from europe two people have been injured in a stabbing at amsterdam central railway station this afternoon the suspect's been shot by police apparently both victims and the suspect now in hospital but stations in lockdown still trains temporarily stopped investigations underway to try to establish what's going on that. coming up you might think that britain's outspoken

former foreign minister boris johnson would be hard to forget but not so for kenya's president seemed he struggled to place it in that story and much more after this break. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one to one business shows you

can't afford to miss the one and only. a parting of ways european leaders talk about the future without the us what is in store for the transatlantic alliance and much much more on this edition of. britain's prime minister trees in may is wrapped up a tour of africa has been memorable not only on account of the impressive trade and investment promises bills because of how the kenyan leaders spoke about one former u.k. official he said this is his goal that. we all know that former u.k. foreign secretary boris johnson is no stranger to causing offense except this time

around he got a taste of his own medicine from the kenyan president who standing side by side with british prime minister to recent may. last year you recall the foreign secretary the. borders. are porous borders johnson. the bicycle guy i work alone not only did this bicycle guy calm and make headlines but also cause the u.k. delegation to chuckle as well as brought a smile to recent may's face now one of the reasons potentially that the kenyan president would have a bone to pick with boris johnson could be the comments he had made in the past among them saying things such as barack obama being described as according to johnson as part kenyan with an ancestral dislike of the british empire as well as some other offensive comments such as watermelons but when it comes to theresa may of course the reason she would rejoice in a moment like this potentially is some of the issues she has herself with boris

johnson not only did he quite recently resign as foreign secretary because of disagreements over her stance on bracks it but also because of the political rivalry going on between johnson and may of course we have to remember that boris johnson potentially becoming the next conservative party leader has been the talk of the town here in westminster him having quite strong support among the party and meanwhile of course we know that recent may's popularity and approval ratings have really been dwindling and she knows it despite having been caught dancing a couple of times on that trip there and keeping up appearances. yellow ribbons used as the symbol of support for jailed opposition politicians of the spanish region of catalonia been removed over the independents. activists in the city of jerome near eighty people were in white suits and masks gathered up the ribbons into rubbish that the group called themselves brigades to clean yellow

ribbons and a free catalonia spokes person told us they want to show the public spaces should stay neutral. 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 ribbons 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 well members of the right wing pro union the citizens party in catalonia joined in to with this president but riviere are moving ribbons tied to roadside fences enough bubbling places belong to all catalonians who will defend them every day today n l l i'm going to move to yellow ribbons from public spaces

were continued to defend the streets beaches and squares of catalonia. meantime prone to palace activists have been busy putting rebels back again they say they represent democracy in those inner movement restricting the freedom of secession supporters catalan politicians were arrested for the role of independence referendum last october which was ruled illegal by madrid leaders of the movement were accused of rebellion sedition at the time the referendum sparked mass protests and clashes between demonstrators and the police. many more stories from us online r.t. dot com want to check it out you can also have your say by hitting the comment section and if you're out and about why not download our great to get all the stories as they happen direct to your mobile device player in moscow what is it twenty coming to twenty three minutes past three moscow time very good afternoon.

when lawmakers manufacture consent to consistent to the public will. when the ruling closest to protect themselves. with the flame of clear your own lives and neither will most of the. time we can all middle of the room signals. to leave room for the real news group. john mccain and his republican cohorts like the bush family and others they will break cozy with ken lay who financed the bush campaigns of the bush presidency and when they got caught committing massive fraud on the same scale as the savings along

crisis they machinery was already in place thanks to john mccain is the bag man for wall street for decades yeah to bail those guys out and make them all at the expense of the a democracy slash economy of the united states which is disintegrating. forman 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 you could have done it there's no possible way because the list did not shoot around a corner. not enough a retreat through it. it was a levels from somewhere you. came back

through the community. people we obvious found in on the road lookouts me. well look out it's all bible hand. will allow us at all. that's. right. she's going to use you money doesn't that give us all that. but it should be but they don't. know we're going to this. because if it doesn't last i'm not touching in my life. i see among have to die.

readings and salutation. this week the death of u.s. senator john mccain is inspired both hero worshipping adelaide from his mainstream supporters and cries of warmongering villainy from his detractors. a polarizing figure in both life and death but while the arguments over mccain's life and legacy will be long and heated we must not get distracted from one of the most important parts of loss reflection in light of the good vs evil debate over john mccain i think it's important to reflect on just who we choose to call our heroes and their villains and most importantly how we ultimately treat them while they're still here with us case in point chelsea manning who this week was denied entry into the country of australia yes chelsea manning the five foot two inch whistle

blower an l g b t q activist was denied an entry visa into us trailing on wednesday by the australian government for get this failing the character task that is required for entry i guess apparently being tortured jailed for five years for blowing the whistle on lethal crimes committed by the us military gets you up failing grade on the character chart by the australian department of home home affairs miss manning was a was scheduled to be part of a speaking tour of australia starting in september along with american journalist ronan farrow time easy coats and maureen dowd think the two are organizer told the media we are very disappointed to learn that the department of home affairs has taken this approach and will be vigorously advocating for her ability to enter australia. i guess this is how we will treat the real heroes in our society we will deny them entry and silence their voices until we start watching the hawks

. what would you look like real that it would be analyzed from the bottom it. would be like you but i gotta. look at. this. because. well the more the watch remarks i am tyrrel the that capitalist. i can be read to wrap my head around this as i say is a bit out what. yeah. that is steal from us trail years ago written around the garden let me in let me know there are official response or questions i have is which is pretty ridiculous a spokesman for the department of home affairs which is or so oversees the you know kind of immigration or visitation

of the people of the country told the guardian that they would not comment on individual cases but that all non-citizens entering australia must meet the character requirements of the migration act and they stated a person can fail the character test for a number of reasons including but not limited to where a non-citizen has a substantial criminal record or were their conduct represents a risk to the australian community the risks of chelsea manning is a risk or they're holding her accountable for the five years that she was imprisoned by the us government torture and abuse there and then later commuted by obama really seriously this isn't some evil well i'm out to like destroy the cultural fabric of the of australia this is ridiculous so look at the interesting thing that's happening in australia that we know so we were there one of the things that was product a lot was how much controversy came when hillary clinton came to

speak and started telling sort of pushing a certain kind of agenda of how they should do their foreign affairs and a lot of astray and were very upset by that the idea of this american coming in and telling them not so i wonder if this has a lot to do with the sort of that conservative versus liberal which is a different thing and i certainly have than we have here that there are these two joining forces that are sort of the corporate politicians and the other people but i find it interesting that they would have a problem with chelsea manning when in two thousand and fifteen they didn't have a single problem with general petraeus who right after he copped a plea and centrally you know pled guilty to to doing what should what chelsea did but at least he did it for a noble reason david petraeus just did it to impress his girlfriend and he gets to go to us yeah this is of so going to do weird to me until i make that and it's like you go what these people you're going to want like sir or mongers are going to let these people in but you.
