police never confirmed the attackers ethnicity but the party member was fun 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 ill turn it to the party offers to sweden is sealed borders and immigrants sent back to where they came from their 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 four under our care and sweden need to be united like back in the old days right now not really because if you look back in time three notes always take aim for injuries so if you didn't think in new people if when the. we are racist on

3:10 pm
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 that'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. 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. 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
3:11 pm
for violence against israeli civilians who they consider to be part of an illegal occupation arafat did renounce the violence before receiving the award though 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
3:12 pm
his peace prize but just like the others the nobel committee said it had 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. british prime minister theresa may has wrapped up her tour of africa it's been memorable not only on account of the impressive trade and investment promises but also for the kenyan leaders description of one former u.k. official honest as he has the details. 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
3:13 pm
with british prime minister to recent may this to say last year you recall the foreign secretary then boris. or is it is. by school good or well learn 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 to reset 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 iraq 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
3:14 pm
johnson not only did he quite recently resign foreign secretary because of disagreements over her stance on iraq sit but also because of the political rivalry going on between johnson and me of course we have 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. it's become a weekly event for almost half a year already and palestinian protesters have been out in force again this friday along the israeli border reports say dozens have been injured by the israeli defense forces thousands of palestinians are continuing to demand their territorial claims to land in the gaza strip taken away after the nine hundred forty eight war

3:19 pm
you mentioned the navy for example that we have fewer ships that we did in one nine hundred sixty governor we also a few horses and bayonets but 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 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
3:20 pm
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. the international olympic committee president has admitted that the war on doping in sport might never be won but thomas bach has come under fire for his comment especially from america's anti-doping agency which claims he's just given up i would say have a shot takes a look at what this could mean for russian athletes. 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 can order 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
3:21 pm
a 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 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 has made a lot of credibility as well as the hopes and dreams of millions around the world who believe in clean and fair competition russia and its anti-doping agency have
3:22 pm
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
3:23 pm
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 it russia's 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 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 keeping sport clean is something
3:24 pm
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 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. allegations of racism have cast a shadow over one candidates 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 of socialist agenda with huge tax increase is. the last thing we need to do
3:25 pm
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 accuse dissenters of making racist dog whistles this is how white folks talk about black men who are successful he started his campaign the same way down the track did write politics this is let's divide be derisive be sensational. it is zero to do with the race shot it has everything to do with whether we want florida to continue to go in a good direction there are moments when you need to apologize and that's what needs to happen from the congress of the. yellow ribbons used as a symbol of support for jail politicians in spain's catalonia have been stripped down overnight in the city of durham a video broadcast across spanish t.v.
3:26 pm
showed groups of separatists dressed head to toe in white boiler suits and masks taking down ribbons across three towns a spokesperson for them stressed their aim is to keep public spaces neutral. when i was in the south 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 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 from a pro unionist group also joined in across catalonia with its leader a high profile activist out in front of cameras moving the ribbons. enough public places belong to old catalonians who will defend them. today in
3:27 pm
atlanta who moved to yellow ribbons from the next place will continue to defend the streets and squares of catalonia in response there's been a move by pro independence supporters to go around and put the ribbons back up they say the symbol is misunderstood and those are moving them are restricting democracy and freedom cattle and politicians were arrested for their role in an independence referendum last october which is ruled illegal by majority the leaders of the movement were accused of a belly and deficient referendum sparked mass protests and clashes between demonstrators and police. that's a breakdown of the day's top news for now but i'll be back at the top of the hour with the latest thanks for tuning in this hour.
