10:06 am
afternoon the country's also seeing a spike in crime levels to. 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 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 befalls 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 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
10:07 am
never established officially the alternative the party offers to sweden is sealed borders and immigrants sent back to where they came from we pass 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 over for and. sweden need to be united back in the old days you might need that not really because if you look back in time three notes always take aim for and or so if you didn't think in new people if when of course we are racist and always 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 to as long as we can
10:08 am
integrate them into swedish society may become they become a swedish says me because i am also an immigrant from belt. them as the as long as they become swedish and they work and they do 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 meet him it's like this one you many parties. have a lot of me to you so. it 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 going to two elections sweden will hold the general election in just ten days tensions are high ahead of the national veil that could be historic the ruling left tween social democrats the oldest and largest party in
10:09 am
sweden could see its worst result in the last one hundred years as rightwing ideas are gaining more and more popularity. from sweden. the nobel committee's defended his decision not to retract the peace prize from mars prime minister is to spot a damning report from the united nations that accuses the country's army of committing mass killings and atrocities against throwing a minority claims the government denies though is artie's total 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
10:10 am
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
10:11 am
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. 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. yes. there are a fat 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.
10:12 am
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 as disclosed to the pentagon reports 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 just like the others the nobel committee 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
10:13 am
for what he has done in the previous year we hope this will enhance what do use trying to do what exactly obama did in that previous year is a mystery to most people. so-called reporting that the u.s. says it's shifting its focus from fighting terrorism to enter the noms race for the major world powers but the big question is is it playing catch up or is it going into overdrive to boost its arms industry. great power competition not terrorism is now the primary focus of us now out of here and it discredited it for a time. as
10:14 am
. you mentioned the navy for example we have fewer ships that we did in one nine hundred sixty four governor we are also a few horses they have at least that 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 directly china and russia are really bringing their forces in the last five years so one of the united states is playing catch up a little bit on some of those kinds of worth the problem isn't we spend more money
10:15 am
than the rest of the world on military equipment and manpower this is about big business these kinds of 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. for us from going to treason maze rob to put a tour of africa. you know it's been memorable not only on account of the oppressive trade and investment promises but aside from also the kenyan leaders description of one former u.k. top official and this is a churkin report we all know that our 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 resign may this is last year you if you recall the
10:16 am
foreign secretary. boris. morris boris johnson. the bicycle guy were well known not only did this bicycle guy comment make headlines but also cause the u.k. delegation to chuckle as well as brought a smile to teresa mayes 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 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 himself with boris johnson not only did he quite recently resigned the u.k. foreign secretary because of disagreements over her stance on iraq since but also because of the political rivalry going on between johnson and may of course we have
10:17 am
to remember that boris johnson potentially becoming the next conservative party leader has been the talk of the town here and 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. not about a time to dance now there's no going back it seems on the olympic chief's comments but losing the war on doping in sport to discredit a lot of controversy i'll tell you about that the rest the news but after this break.
10:18 am
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. john mccain and his republican cohorts like the bush family and others they will break cozy with ken lay 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 the machinery was already in place thanks to john mccain is a bag man for wall street for decades yeah to bell those guys out and make them all at the expense of the a democracy slash economy of the united states which is to celebrate.
10:19 am
revelations of surface 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 severely mismanaged it seems 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 the reporters were found dead in a bullet riddled car in a remote location now though the speculation in the mainstream media that the killings were politically motivated with claims being cycled round the kremlin is somehow connected to alleged military contract as their go to coast insist to the journalist. do you have any reason to believe that these men were killed because of
10:20 am
the work they were dealing with. him in a perk yes i think exactly that you however another twist to this screen shots of text messages between the team organizing the trip and the slain journalist which have recently surfaced indicates serious mismanagement if true that is from two quarter koskie now to hold his support for the investigative journalism group there working for the group chat seeing question the three members of the crew traveling as well as their boss and produces it's believed it was used right up to during the beginning of the trip to the central african republic jacqueline discussed the details of this war clearly corresponding. we've got a print 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 the group later claimed that they were working in
10:21 am
the central african republic and coordination with the united nations however eventually the un said that they knew nothing of it 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
10:22 am
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 chat 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
10:23 am
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 their bias so 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 tougher 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
10:24 am
. the international olympic committee president has admitted that the war on doping in sport might never be won but thomas but it's come under fire for that comment especially from america's anti doping agency which goes back simply give it up let's look at what that could mean for russian athletes while the world of sports continues its fight against doping the president of the international olympic committee has made. who will always happen this is. one of the walls you cannot dream 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 the ranch 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
10:25 am
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. president's quote was essentially a precursor to why the 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. in an air 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
10:26 am
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 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 you russia is quite rightly said we want the evidence
10:27 am
thomas bach himself has 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 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. keeping sport 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 doping scandals break out in your own backyard one thing's for sure the next water meeting in the seychelles
10:28 am
is looking like politics and doping will go down the finish line well will be across the meeting as well with all the big stories you can follow it. for now from me kevin oh and thanks for watching this. camera. roughly once the show and some will leave for the. own cool videos and so on with the broccoli string is. going down more on string i don't roughly don't t.v. . you know world's big partners. a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made history video refuses to tell
10:29 am
more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now watching closely watching the hawks. hello and welcome to crossfire where all things considered i'm teetotal of 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.
