live as a moscow this is our national i'm sean thomas glad to have you with us we start with the news out of saudi on russia's black sea coast a story that we brought you last hour where a passenger plane has overshot the runway and struck a fence and con fire video from russian television apparently shows the burning aircraft so far six people are said to be injured the fire has already been extinguished at this point the plane was carrying one hundred sixty six passengers was arriving from moscow and was on its second approach to the runway when the incident took place. i will keep you updated on that story as more information comes in but now it's which gears the u.s. has declassified six hundred pages of private conversations between the former american and russian president bill clinton and boris yeltsin the dialogues took
10:02 pm
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 our guys have takes over for us. 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 were back when presidents could talk frankly joke laugh heck even collude for elections bill for my election campaign i urgently need for a 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
10:03 pm
other shopped together unfortunately it wasn't a very equal friendship nine hundred ninety six the 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 in 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 romania 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
10:04 pm
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 were maimed friends even joke together three months of the pre-election race has 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
10:05 pm
campaign they were frank so frank in fact that they're generals would get a little nervous yeah 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 chairman 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
10:06 pm
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 hilton 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
10:07 pm
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 encroachments 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. the german prison guard has turned himself in after admitting he leaked an arrest warrant for a migrant who was a key suspect in a murder case has turned of the city of kemet 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 fish would u.t.s. and i also knew that i would probably lose my job as
10:08 pm
a result i want the public to know what has happened i want the speculation about a possible crime to come to an end. well following this stabbing incident police arrested a twenty two year old iraqi man and a twenty three year old syrian both charged with manslaughter charges europe correspondent peter oliver brings us the latest in the case. to the 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 the 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
10:09 pm
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 iraqi who's in custody
10:10 pm
he came here from iraq through bulgaria in twenty fifteen knots right at the height of the. my current influx of refugees influx into germany he actually should have been deported back to bulgaria however that deportation notice wasn't carried out but 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 but it was the stopping today of thirty five year old man that those two men were arrested for you stopped dead from the early hours of sunday morning here in cannes that that resulted in. the rorting right wing crowd on sunday. i i i was what we are getting ready for is
10:11 pm
a big demonstration it's expected well will take place on saturday afternoon here in cabinets i'll be here in amongst those crowds are expecting a large crowd from the right also a large county 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 siege that we saw on monday night and those clashes between left and right. is reduced parliamentary candidate has claimed he was attacked by a migrant and an alternative for sweden party rally in a town in the west of the country. well tensions have flared during campaigning for the general election that has seen a surge in support for euro skeptic right wing parties and as archie's my financial reports country is also seeing a spike in crime levels we've gotten nice to pictures of shootings and car burnings
10:12 pm
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 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 kick the car. swedish police never confirmed the attackers ethnicity but the party member with foreign 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
10:13 pm
immigrants sent back to where they came from we passed 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 over for under our care sweden need to be united to act in the old days you might need that 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 a court we are racist and 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 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
10:14 pm
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 not included in the society police told us they are always invited to meet him it's like this one many parties . have a lot of me to you so. i thought it was. a lot of people did lie i don't like. opinions that's why we 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.
10:15 pm
efforts at 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 us led united nations command the u.n. command has controlled movement across the de-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 inter korean rail project was supposed to move or improve rather trade and tourism between the two koreas it was also intended to set the stage for future investments in the north if sanctions on pyongyang are lifted. author and human rights attorney erik's wrote can thinks the u.s. should stop meddling in the peace process between north and south. these are all
10:16 pm
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 movement 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 the 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
10:17 pm
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 the latest move comes right after u.s. defense secretary james madison mounts that the u.s. has no plans to suspend future joint military exercises with south korea drills which north korea have 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
10:18 pm
time to suspend any more exercises all right last week president tom canceled a planned visit of secretary of state. 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 a very special bond. north korea best not to make any more the threats to the united states. they will be met with fire as a fury and have met 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 louder i will surely and definitely tame the mentally deranged at us doctored with fire with both but both very honored to sign the
10:19 pm
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 have his. 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 and try to block it. british prime minister theresa may has wrapped up her tour of africa has been memorable not only on account of impressive trade and investment promises but also for the kenyan leaders a description of one former u.k. official artie's honest as he explains we all know that former u.k. foreign secretary boris johnson is no stranger to causing offense except this time
10:20 pm
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 then boris. oras boris johnson. the bicycle guy. 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 theresa 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
10:21 pm
johnson not only did he quite recently resigned 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. u.s. secretary of state might capone peo has accused moscow and damascus of escalating the syrian conflict by seeking to clear terror groups from the province he says of the civilian population will end up as victims of any offensive earlier russia's
10:22 pm
foreign minister and the sized that it was the last terrorist stronghold in the country and should be liberated the. group this is the last place for the terrorists so from all points of view this abscess should be removed. has been a haven for rubbles and their families evacuated from areas one backed by the government almost three million people live in labor according to the u.n. there are also thousands of jihad just fighters there it has another fact and we have to reconnect it an extremely high concentration of foreign fighters and in particular the highest number of. the fight us the mates the unmoved by what they've been maimed they want to quote them so is it more or less our own. investigative journalist or external ng thinks that the us is not interested in the final defeat of the terrorists in syria elements within the
10:23 pm
united states and nato for that matter want to prolong the conflict they basically want the syrian government to let the terrorists stay in the province we can just imagine what might pump a a would say if there were thousands of terrorists in oregon and washington states in the united states they wouldn't have any patience at all for that the situation is complicated right now it's difficult because there are thousands of foreign fighters there these are trained terrorists with a lot of battle experience and they've been supported by the west they've been supported by the gulf by including including turkey and none of the countries that have supported the terrorists want them to come back to their own their own countries that course and it's kind of hypocritical for my pump aoe to criticize syria for trying to expel terrorists from its own its own territory.
