the power of a dialogue washington declassifies hours of conversation between former u.s. and russian president bill clinton and boris yeltsin i want to take a look at what the two leaders said behind closed doors. revelations on a controversial murder case that has sparked chaos in the german city of emmett's as a prison guard admits he leaked the arrest warrant of a migrant suspect. ten days ahead of sweden's general election anger flares at a rally where a parliamentary candidate claims he was attacked by migrant.

broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is r.t. international i'm john thomas certainly glad to have you with us. of the u.s. has declassified six hundred pages of private conversations between the former american and russian presidents bill clinton and boris yeltsin the dialogues took place between one thousand nine hundred three and one thousand nine hundred nine when yeltsin left office election collusion nato expansion and the future russian president vladimir putin well they were among the many topics discussed between the two parties but i've got to have comments. now that we are at rock bottom in terms of relations between russia and the us it's bad now we pine for what they work backward presidents could talk frankly joke laugh heck even

collude for elections bill for my election campaign i urgently need for rush or a loan of two point five billion dollars i'll check on this with the i.m.f. and with some of our friends and see what can be done those were the days when you could funnel billions to get your pals reelected real friendship right there clinton even helped yeltsin with a heart operation their wives now in the yeltsin and hillary clinton visited each other shopped together unfortunately it wasn't very equal friendship nine hundred ninety six united states was strong russia was in its knees crime corruption stagnation it seemed to get the rule or end of every deal it remains a mistake for nato to move eastward nuclear and conventional arms cannot move eastward into new members to the borders of russia i've told you no one is talking about a massive all out accelerated expansion two years later nearly

a dozen european states were invited to join nato the czech republic hungry poland bulgaria is still in latvia lithuania rumania slovakia slovenia so yeltsin tried everything he even begged. let us have a verbal gentleman's agreement we would not write it down in the statement that no former soviet republics would enter nato i cannot sign any agreement without such language especially ukraine consider what a terrible message it would be were still organized against russia but there's a line across which we won't go pleading didn't work so we'll turn tried warnings russia will pull out of the agreement and consider it now and void i know what a terrible problem this is for you but i can't make the specific commitment you're asking for not even complaints could get through you are conducting naval maneuvers

near crimea it is as if we are training people in cuba how would you feel it's unacceptable to us the spite of all that they remained friends even joke together three months of the pre-election races taken its toll i feel somewhat tired i saw the picture of you dancing with the girls in the band and you looked wonderful i'm disappointed that no one sets up events like that for me in my campaign they were frank so frank in fact that their general this would get a little nervous the they discussed ditching their nuclear briefcases what if we were to agree giving up having to have our finger next to the button all the time perhaps we could agree that it's not necessary for us to carry the chima down chick well i'll have to think about this all we carry of course are the codes in the secure phone yes you and i are the only leaders you have to do this mr president

given the responsibility of your office and president yeltsin's it makes more sense for the two of you to have these devices with you at all times it was simpler in those days the world was younger and no one knew what the future held for example would the united states pull out the viewer up. the u.s. is not in europe europe should be the business of europeans russia is half european and half asian so you want asia to sure sure bill eventually will have to agree on all of this i don't think the europeans would like this very much not all but i'm a european moscow is in europe and i like it you can take all the other states and provide security to them i would take europe and provide them security well not i russia will bill i'm serious give year up to europe itself europe never felt as close to russia as it does now good days good friends and then yeltsin just up then left leaving behind

a successor that clinton was sure he'd get along with shortly you will have a meeting with mr putin i would like to tell you about him so you will know what kind of man he is he is a solid man who is kept well abreast of various subjects under his purview he is through and strong very sociable and he can easily have good relations and contact with people who are his partners. who will win the election of course he's a democrat and he knows the west he's very smart he's tough he has an internal ramrods and he will when you do business together strange to think that most of the issues problems they discussed in those days are still the main themes of today nato expansion of encroachment european security trade and loans what's changed is that russia's grown up turns out it's much harder being friends when you're more equal. a german prison guard has turned him self in

after admitting he leaked an arrest warrant for a migrant who was a key suspect in a murder case has turned the city of chemist's into chaos as opposing rallies come out in force over the refugee crisis in germany the officer says he wanted to end all speculation concerning sunday's stabbing. it was clear to me that i was violating my official tutsis and i also knew that i would probably lose my job as a result i want the public to know what has happened i want the speculation about a possible crime to come to an end. following the stabbing incident the police arrested a twenty two year old iraqi man and a twenty three year old syrian both were charged with manslaughter artie's your question a bit all over bringing us the latest on guess. who this prison guard is he's been suspended from his job after admitting that it was him that leaked the photograph of those arrest warrants he's

a thirty nine year old man who was working at the corrections facility in dresden he says he didn't know that it was a legal for him to share these documents to leak these documents. but he may well face criminal charges for doing so we heard a little bit of this statement that's being put out this is through his lawyers this is the only way he says he's going to be communicating from here on out said he didn't he did it because he didn't want the media to speculate on details as to who the arrested were he went on to accuse the press of having manipulated the facts in the past the put across a narrative that they wanted to see every day as a prison officer i am the focus of what has happened in our country from a few years ago and this intensity and manner nevertheless every day i see that most people are lied to about the changes in our country or do not want to accept the truth however at least regarding the manslaughter or murder in chemnitz i did not want to be a part of the silent crowd anymore but in response to that statement that was put

out we've also heard from the justice minister of saxony who said that in doing this it was irresponsible it was serious and it could well have impacted upon the investigation itself we cannot tolerate a public servant who does such a thing in any way and we will take strict action we've also been getting some more information or certainly. information has been doing the rounds in the press here in germany about one of those suspects the twenty two year old rocky he's in custody he came here from iraq through bulgaria in twenty fifteen knots right at the height of the. influx of refugees influx into germany he actually should have been deported back to bulgaria however that deportation notice wasn't carried out what we're hearing in the press is that he was very well known to police and fire reports saying that he had several drug charges against him also reporting saying that from those who lived with him in refugee home saying he always carried

a knife with him it but it was the stopping today of thirty five year old man that those two men were arrested for you stop the death in the early hours of sunday morning here in cannes that resulted in. a rewarding right wing crowd on sunday. was what we are getting ready for is a big demonstration it's expected well will take place on saturday afternoon here in came that i'll be here in amongst those crowds are expecting a large crowd from the right also a large town demo from the left and a very large presence from the police they're being drafted in from all across the local area even further afield as well as they try to make sure that there isn't a repeat of the scenes that we saw on monday night and those clashes between left and right. are some news coming in right now a passenger jet has reportedly overshot the airport runway near the russian city of

sochi the evacuation of the plane is currently under way it was revised riving from moscow and managed to touch down only during the second attempt now reports indicate that several people have been injured in the incident of course our team is following the story and as we get more information we will get it to you as soon as it comes in to us. all right swedish candidate has claimed that he was attacked by a migrant at an alternative for sweden party rally in a town in the west of the country. thank you. very much i don't think. tensions have flared during campaigning for the general election that has seen a surge in support for euro skeptic right wing parties and as artie's marie from national report country is 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 hitting both of us in the face both and 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. so we dish 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 old turn it to the party offers to sweden is sealed borders and

immigrants send 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 you're ok here and so we don't need to be you know. back in the old days you know you made me proud not really because if you look back in time three notes always came for and there is so. if we didn't think in new people if when the work we are racist on always streets where race is still no streets 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 integrate them so 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 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. it is. a thought if as. a lot of people did law i don't like the opinions that's why i call the police it's always like this when it's on 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 wing social democrats the oldest and largest party in sweden could see its worst result in the last one hundred years as

rightwing ideas are gaining more and more popularity. from sweden. british prime minister theresa may has wrapped up her tour of africa it has been memorable not only on account of the impressive trade and investment promises but also the kenyan leaders description of one former u.k. official artie's honestest explains. 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 recent may this to say last year you recall the foreign secretary then boris. oras boris johnson. the bicycle guy or well known not only did this bicycle guy comments 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 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 u.k. 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 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. one of hollywood's biggest scandals was kept under wraps by a prominent news channel that's the claim of one n.b.c. producer who says journalists were deliberately stopped from breaking accusations against everyone's team. i was told not to do the interview and ordered to stand down for us effectively killing the story those orders came to me from the highest levels of n b c that was an ethical and a massive breach of journalistic integrity. i the producer rich mchugh is the first person linked to n.b.c. to publicly accuse the network of meddling in his and freelance correspondent run and pharaoh's attempts to pursue the story mckew and farrow spent months collecting

material on the allegations two months after they faced resistance from the network farrow went to the new yorker and published the first in his series of articles on weinstein the piece won him a pulitzer prize and since the publication of pharaohs article in october two thousand and seventeen more than seventy women have come forward with allegations against the film producer weinstein ahead of himself in two new york police in may two thousand and eighteen and shortly afterwards was charged with rape and several counts of sexual abuse he denies all of the allegations with the court case still ongoing. and b c says that the assertion that they tried to kill the weinstein story is an outright lie instead the network suggests that pharoahs material lacks sufficient evidence and was simply not ready for broadcast. if he was threatened by the chief counsel chief legal counsel of n.b.c. news and that's a big hit with with you know destroying his person and sliming his reputation even

after he left n.b.c. then he might have a legal case against that attorney and n.b.c. well i got to tell you you know legally killing a story for whatever reason. i hate to say it it happens all the time i mean i've been in this business for over thirty five years and people have told me oh don't go there don't do that calm down on that so that's not unusual it might be disturbing thing and should be disturbing to the viewers of n.b.c. when it when this story gets out if this is true but as far as pursuing this story i'm sure like i said it happens all the time but if you are employed there and you come out and you just say you're being stymied in your efforts to unveil or in you know investigate a story you're not to be working there much longer so i'm sure it happens all the time. to deescalating tensions on the korean

peninsula have hit another snag as plans for a historic railway meant to link north and south korea have been blocked by the u.s. led united nations command the u.n. command has controlled movement across the militarized zone separating north and south since the end of the korean war a joint field study for the project was planned last week but was cancelled by u.s. military officials the enter korean rail project was supposed to improve trade and tourism between the two koreas and it was also intended to set the stage for future investments in the north of sanctions on and are lifted author and human rights attorney erik's rock and thinks that the u.s. should stop meddling in the peace process between north and south. these are all great through steps you know the united states would frankly get out of the way which is unfortunate you can see the incredible efforts and the incredible craving

for peace and reunification that we saw in the eyes of the family exchanges recently we've seen the hopes for peace on so many levels with president move on and chairman kim jong un who so consequently those are being thwarted now. as a quite a reminder that the u.s. still holds quite a military grip in the region they are there are people within the administration who frankly benefit from instability gives a certain kind of the edge it allows a certain level of military spending so allows us to have our bases paid for by south korea in south korea it allows us to export billions of dollars of weapons there so consequently there are always people who are going to fight against peace but in this period at this essential

time when we're about to have another summit between north and south in september it seems to me that this is a reminder to both north and south that the u.s. has never given up its wartime authority in south korea. now this latest move comes right after u.s. defense secretary james madison now nst that the u.s. has no plans to suspend future joint military exercises with south korea drills which north korea has strongly protested. as you know we took the step to suspend several of the largest exercises as a good faith measure coming out of the singapore summit we have no plans at this time to suspend any more exercises and last week president trump canceled a planned visit of secretary of state mike compared to north korea blaming insufficient

progress on the issue of denuclearization looking back trump has had a love hate relationship with north korea's leader kim jong un. developed the a very special bond. north korea best not to make any more the threats to the united states. they will be met with five years of experience and have mad men out there shooting rockets all over the place you will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. rocket man is a sick puppy frightened dog barks a louder i will surely and definitely tame the mentally deranged at us doctored with fire with both but both very honored to sign the document thank you we're very proud of what took place today it worked out for both of us far better than anybody even predicted it's an honor to be with you. d.c.

and the law has your to has been a best mixed messages unfortunately you can't on one hand say i am going to trust you i'm going to respect your sovereignty as a nation and then when two countries start to take steps in that direction stop and try to block it. the head of the people's republic of donetsk in ukraine has been killed in an explosion at a restaurant with the incident now being investigated as a terror attack on his wrong course well as details. best to know that the restaurant itself is located right in the center of the city of just a few hundred meters away from the residence of alexander has a hard call and this is a place where a lot of people go with their children there's a park there are many restaurants in fact i was there myself just a couple of days ago having lunch in one of those restaurants so it's a very highly populated area now an adviser. said that the ball was deliberately

planted in side the restaurant now the city of donetsk and the so-called annexed peoples republic have declared a state of emergency and entire territory of the republic is now on lockdown people cannot leave and people cannot come into the next people's republic and so the stories are looking for people who have executed this terrorist attacks and this is exactly how they're looking at it right now as a terrorist act so local authorities accuse the government of also committing this act ends of the government in kiev says that they already issued a statement that they have not been involved in this incident incidents now. foreign ministry has also said that this was a terrorist act and should be investigated as such russian president vladimir putin called it a despicable murder and those who chose a path of terror and violence are not looking for

a peaceful solution in the southeast of the country and instead they bank on the destabilizing the situation and he added that. he expects all the responsible parties in this case to be brought to justice and meanwhile the authorities in the next people's republic have announced a three day oh mourning period associated with the death of their head alexander the harsh and call. it has become a weekly event for almost a half a year already fallon's of palestinians are continuing to protest in the gaza strip to press their claims to land taken by israel in the one nine hundred forty eight war israel has stressed it is continuing to defend of the gaza border against hamas a group it considers to be terrorists local journalist hutaree has more from the site of the protests. thousands of palestinian protesters continue to participate in the quick march of return for the twenty third week demanding to break the siege
