dialogue washington. conversation between former u.s. and russian president bill clinton. palestinians continue to protest israeli occupation of the gaza border. and pre-election polls show a growing number of. right wing parties rattle the ruling social democrat.

for the first. united states. six hundred pages of private conversations between former american and russian president bill clinton and boris yeltsin they took place between one thousand nine hundred three and one thousand nine hundred nine when yeltsin left office. nato expansion and the future of russian president vladimir putin were among the many topics they discussed our senior correspondent been taking a look. 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 other shopped together unfortunately isn't 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 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 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 nolen 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 named 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 campaign they were frank so frank in fact that they're generals 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 that 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 your up to europe itself europe never felt as close to russia as it does now good days good friends and then hilton just upped and 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 and he can easily have good relations and contact with people who are his partners who will win the election putin 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 and quote 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 passenger jet has overshot the runway and caught fire in southern russia leaving eighteen people injured including three children you've got a ton of reports from. a modification of a boeing seven three seven operated by you it's a major russian airline mostly focusing on domestic flights will it make to

a landing attempt here in the airports of the first one was apparently hampered by this. wrong winds as you see it is all nice and sunny right now but it night there was a vicious thunderstorm here downpour of rain and lightning bolts were going off literally every few seconds so the landing conditions were nowhere near good or perfect in that sense on the second attempt when the aircraft finally did touch the landing strip that was when things didn't go where they should have to basically the aircraft rolled past the end of the runway the pilots couldn't bring it to a stop one of the short of it plunged into a river caught fire on one of the engines or one of the wings of the left wing is reported to have been completely burnt down now it is somewhat of a miracle i should say that there were no casualties when it comes to the people on board of the plane and there was one death though and that is one of the airports

workers apparently the man was one of the first responders on the scene of the crash and he was trying to help people get out of the burning plane and the word is his heart just couldn't really take it apparently he died of a heart attack on sight so what is happening now of course the investigators are looking into what caused the would cause the tragedy with the tragedy was it the weather or was the human factor involved too also with the russian transportation authority will be investigating looking into how the airline is operating and how the airport here in sochi is operating but so far of course the most important thing is that nobody on board of that plane died. of confrontations expected during sweden's general election with the country split over a surge in migrant numbers you could see the governing left wing social democrats lose their upper hand in parliament at the same time the nationalist opponents are being widely criticized with claims of racism as maria from national report.

nationalist sentiment is put in sweden on the bridge of change that's what the polls here are predicting for the upcoming general election the n.t. migron sweden democrats party looks set to make big gains they define themselves as social conservative with a nationalist foundation but this we dish media is warning of something more and rival politicians are sisters but it is a racist party. that's what i've always had this we've been democrats deny zation is their racist and sadia focus is on smart immigration policy this is like the old all way of trying to scare people off from voting for us so. extreme in the european sense our policies are not extreme our politicians are not extreme in general however and your racism group has been doing some digging and found candidates to the parliament from the sweden democrats had links to the new nazi

group the national socialist front we had some in our party. just today it was revealed that even the center party or the liberal party they have people who have killed people who have sexual assaulted females so unfortunately that happens in every party but because the swedish left wing media hates the sweden democrats they tried to bring that up more for the others critics of the sweden democrats are still convinced their defining feature is racism a central point for them the centrum goal is to keep sweet and white. this people that came from. skinheads now two white power organizations during the night they are now the second largest party in the wrong way more yet it is in sweden this far right camp alternative for sweden formed by those expelled from the

sweden democrats for being too extreme was there's still a t.v. like let's say that the sweden democrats are quite good but they are getting more and more liberal more and more politically correct and they are not the ones to save sweden today so we have to create a new party a tougher party which is not politically correct a party which dares to speak out about repatriation because it's the only solution to sweden problems we gave the immigrants everything in this country we have tested everything and sweden is today a country in a real mess alternative for sweden's chances of claiming a seat in the parliament are slim but not as slim as the nordic new systems movement basically present themselves as he'd lost soldiers. i was the one to your life when they call you like men and the people getting you sound like no not in our studio your brain yeah yeah

man right marched right brainwashed yeah really wrong and very wrong what is your opinion on now is. what they were great not just. the greatest. and really have huge announcers nothing i mean is that correct nothing is that no national socialism or the number of their supporters hardly more than two or three thousand significantly more people counter-protest needlessly to inform the country's communist party thinks the threat posed by swedish nazis is fairly much exaggerated but that they have a really good media strategy when politicians gather they would go. threaten people and make a lot of noise and being really tough and dangerous and look really scary and. media will write about this but i mean there are so many people they can be a real threat the individuals but on

a societal level they are just. they are nothing if former swedish police officer with african origin stuff and sherry quit his job to help migrants like himself integrate he's known as a voice of reason in swat and believes is getting too much attention for a different explanation for that maybe sometimes it is easier to focus on them because look nazis we know who they are we have the knowledge and when it comes to moderate islam a more extreme subject we don't know so much so we don't want to say the wrong things or we don't want people to think that we say the wrong things despite being shamed as narcissus by the media and politicians far right movements are still winning people over in this once liberal nordic state that these parties are showing they will confront the current migrant policies head on the need for better or worse. reporting from sweden. thousands of palestinians are

. to shape. themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground. more of saturday's news for you there's a call for the web retail giant amazon to be taxed to make up for low wages and poor working conditions for stuff in the united states democratic senator bernie

sanders says some employees of the nine hundred billion dollars paid so nickel that they qualify for food stamps so america has the details the story of the american leftist movement bernie sanders is at war with amazon the world's largest online retailer accusing the company of not treating its workers sparely it is important to take a look at the power and influence that amazon has the answer is that all over this country amazon employees are paid wages so low that they are having a real getting bar they are forced to pay and upon pacs funded programs and you know who pays for those programs you do this isn't just empty rhetoric either sanders announced that he'd be introducing legislation that would require these big corporations to cover all federal benefits their employees receive from the government like food stamps and public housing if they can't pay them a living wage he's also encouraging amazon employees to speak out one former employee claims she was forced to work with an injured foot it was like

a something there was a cloud i really it was an injury. we don't see hear footsteps anything just goes to just the students like you through your shift it's easier to show your shoes. face at one time however amazon c.e.o. jeff bezos presented himself as an employer who truly cared about his employees and the environment they were working at i'm very proud of the culture that we have with him so if you're giving great customer experience. there's the only way to do that is with happy people and now amazon has issued a response to sanders criticism something that doesn't happen very often urging employee. write to the senator and prove him wrong senator sanders continues to make inaccurate and misleading accusations against amazon we are encouraging all employees to take senator sanders up on his request and respond with their actual experience some did respond positively to the senator's tweets but that didn't

change his mind he called on amazon to publish info on the number of employees it hires along with hourly wages and benefits amazon says its median salary in the us is just over thirty four thousand dollars around what jeff bezos makes every ten seconds now imagine how much money he's made in the time i've taken to report this story. samir khan r t washington d.c. . the u.s. secretary of state is accusing russia and president assad of escalating the syrian conflict calling plans to rid adlib province of islamic terrorists an assault by pump aoe says the civilian population will end up bearing the brunt russia's foreign minister earlier laid out moscow's position. group that sure this is the last place for the terrorists so from all points of view this abscess should be removed it lives being a haven for rebels and their families evacuated from areas retaken by the government almost three million people currently live in that province though

according to the u.n. there are also thousands of jihadist militants there to. it leap has another fact and we have to be connected to an extremely high concentration of foreign fighters as the mates of the new for whatever name do want to call themselves is it more or less. of them investigative journalist rick sterling says western nations don't want to see the highly trained foreign terrorists in syria returning to their countries elements within the 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 prompt 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 this 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 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. american consumers might be facing a tricky time ahead the new chief of the u.s. consumer protection bureau was until recently on the other side of the tracks using his legal expertise to defend big business he represented facebook and the consumer credit rating agency equifax before taking up the position on this kind of mope and now reports there are accusations of a possible conflict of interest. its job is pretty simple protect americans from the might of big business the job of the consumer protection bureau of the united states is to make sure that the products americans purchase are safe and to make

sure they don't buy into false advertising the f.t.c. was given the power to investigate and stop unfair mentions of competition and deceptive practices so meet the man whose job it is to protect american consumers from dangerous products he was just appointed by the trumpet ministration his name andrew smith now anderson is knows quite a bit about corporations who get dragged into court for harming the public why does he know all about it well he's been representing those corporations for most of his life as a corporate lawyer in fact the two most high profile cases facebook and equifax are both his former clients now that little fact did not go unnoticed. instead of demanding that. the f.t.c. puts equifax is hired gun in charge of the bureau that's supposed to protect consumers this is corruption plain and simple he's on the wrong side of these issues i can't imagine worse choices but not money so an activist group calling

itself public citizen filed a request under the freedom of information act to find out if there were any potential conflicts of interest in relation to andrew smith consumers deserve a consumer protection advocate the miss position not a hired gun for corporate sharks they were provided with documents over four hundred ninety five pages on the new consumer protection sheet and potential conflicts and cronyism associated with them however almost all of it was blacked out nearly every page was redacted so no information was exposed there so no new evidence about alleged conflicts of interest that certainly doesn't ease the doubts this is andrew smith in twenty eighteen my name is andrew smith and i'm the director of the bureau of consumer protection at the federal trade commission were dedicated to pursuing law enforcement actions to stop unlawful practices including fraud against consumers but this is andrew smith less than
