there welcome just after three in the afternoon here in moscow this is out international live with me kevin i would first of this afternoon the u.s. has declassified six hundred pages of private conversations between former american and russian presidents bill clinton and boris yeltsin they 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 of russian president vladimir putin are among the very many topics they discussed our senior correspondent laura has 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 work backward presidents could talk frankly joke laugh heck even collude for elections bill for my election campaign i urgently need for russia alone 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 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 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 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 remained 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 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 chima down schick 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 and he can easily have good relations and contact with people who are his partners who will win the election boots and 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 your more equal. passenger jets overshot the runway and caught fire in southern russia it's left eighteen injured including three children he goes down on report

from sochi. a modification of a boeing seven three seven operated by you tear it's a major russian airline mostly focusing on domestic flights will it make to a landing attempt here in the airports of sorts you the first one was apparently hampered by the strong winds as you see it is all nice and sunny right now but if 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 that it was one death as 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 site 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 there a human factor involved too also with the russian transportation authority will be investigating looking into how the airline is operating and how the airports here in salt use operating but so far of course the most important thing is that nobody on board of that plane died. a tough confrontations expected during sweden's general election upcoming with the country split over

a surge in migrant numbers that could see the governing left wing social democrats lose the upper hand in parliament at the same time the nationalist opponents have been widely criticized for claims of racism refinishing reports. nationalist sentiment is pretty on the project change better opponents 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 the swedish media is warning of something more and rival politicians but it is a racist party with nazi roots that's what i've always said. this we've been democrats deny i could say sions they are racist and say their 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 a 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 nutty 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 assault 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 thoughts to this people that came from. skinheads now two white power organizations during the night they are now the second largest party in yet there

are way more radical voices in sweden's far right camp alternative for sweden formed by those expelled from the sweden democrats for being too extreme was the last d.v.d. let's say that the sweden democrats were 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 resistance movement basically present themselves as heat low soldiers. i

was the one you live when they call you like me now and the people gather you down like no not in our studio you are right there yeah well written reports the right brain watched the wrong and very wrong what is your opinion on now is. what they were great not just. the greatest heard in the really have huge announcements is not here i mean is that correct is it now national socialism or the number of the supporters hardly more than two or three thousand significantly more people account of protesting needlessly to inform the countries 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 the

media will write about this but i mean they're not so many people they can be a real threat the three individuals but on a societal level they are just. they are nothing if former swedish police officer with african or reaching stuff and sherry quit his job to help migrants like himself integrate he's known as a voice of reason in sweden and believes is getting too much attention but offered 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 but these parties are showing

they will confront current migrant policies had on the need for better or worse. reporting from sweden. thousands of palestinians are continuing to protest against what they say is the israeli occupation of the territory for months demonstrators to face live ammunition and to guess at the gaza border jenison could be as small now from the scene of the latest protest. thousands of palestinian protesters continue to participate in the quick march of return for the twenty third week demanding to break the siege and demanding to return to their home that is that they were driven out and flat out back in one nine hundred forty eight that israeli forces are intensively shooting your gas canisters on the palestinian protesters on the palestinian side just running away from that their god that's being. fired.

this lady never happened everyone says is it but a student protesters are all suffocating for the cheer just the israeli forces killed hundreds of palestinian protesters and injured thousands with live ammunition and tear gas canisters since the beginning of the great march of return on the thirtieth of march the palestinian protesters continue to march to the fence demanding the right of return and demanding breaking the siege for more than twenty three weeks now and they will not stop until their to their demands everyone was suffocating this was the first time i see thousands of people on the ground not being able to even take a breath i was affected my cameraman was affected and all of the journalist paramedics and protesters were affected by the tear gas the protests continue to gas canisters continue to be fired on the palestinian protesters and still we can also hear more live ammunition targeted on the palestinian protesters where the

israeli forces continue to target the palestinian protesters. orthopod the israeli army say soldiers opened fire then to disperse palace. thrown a grenade and rolled burning tires and israel of the united states blames the bloodshed on the militant group hamas which controls gaza sixty minutes pass through the afternoon this saturday folks watching one of your children around the world this is international live from moscow ahead the amazons in a foreign land over working conditions for its american star for now one senator's got a plan to balance things up he says the details when we come back. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic developments only. exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

again 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 at that nine hundred billion dollars firm are paid so badly they qualify for food stamps now it's american reports. 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 the answer is that all over this country amazon employees pay wages so low that they are having a real hard time getting bar they are forced to pay and upon pacs play upon the programs and you know who pays for those programs. 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 loud crack i really feel it was an injury they really really don't see anything here so it's not stroller or anything this just goes to the just the surface of like you prove it to show your shift it's either finish your shoes. cliff face time 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 sandra's criticism something that doesn't happen very often urging employees to 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 our. really 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. . so this we can the u.s. secretary of state's accusing russian president assad of escalating the syrian conflict calling plans to rid province of islamic terrorists and assault my pompei or so the civilian population will end up bearing the brunt russia's foreign minister earlier moscow's position. group which are this is the last place for the

terrorists so from all points of view this abscess should be removed well it's been a haven for rebels and their families evacuated from areas retaken by the government almost three million people currently live in the province alone according to the u.n. there are also thousands of jihadist militants the. it lip has another fact and we have to reconnect it an extremely high concentration of foreign fighters the estimates of the old north or whatever name they want to call themselves is that more or less. of their investigative journalist rick sterling told us western nations don't want to see the highly trained foreign terrorists now in syria returning back to their home 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 pompei 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 of 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 us consumer protection bureau was till recently on the other side of the tracks using his legal experience to defend big

businesses in fact he represented facebook and consumer credit rating agencies equifax before taking a position next to this kind of motion reports this weekend there are no accusations of a possible conflict of interest. it's 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 methods 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 accountability 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 cook 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 a year ago representing equifax a company investigated by the f.t.c. for a massive data breach my name is andrew smith and i'm a partner in the law firm of covington and burling i'm appearing today on behalf of the consumer data industry association which is a trade association of companies we have the mr smith a twenty eight team heading the watchdog that is still probing the corporation that he defended in twenty seventeen a clear example of the revolving door between the federal government and its trade secrets cable company r.t. new york could three twenty six or more scrutiny now through this sort of a that's

a snapshot of some of the big willed news stories than this always so much more. you can if you'll say to this weekend is kevin owen saying thanks to watching out international. four men are sitting in a car when the fifth gets shot in the hand. all four different versions of what happened one of them is on the death row there's no way he could have done it there's no possible way because the owners did not shoot around a corner. john mccain and his republican cohorts like the bush family and others they would break cozy with ken lay who

financed the bush campaign so 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 who's a bag man for wall street for decades yeah to bail those guys out and make them whole at the expense of the a democracy slash economy of the united states which is disintegrating. god. or when you buy into all this. this is you see. never to marry someone else exists.

able to make a deal could even prime minister justin trudeau stuck a particularly canadian core tone rather and a polite resolution saying quote we're going to remain constructive positive serious and creative about what we do around the negotiating table and what we do in relation to the united states he said but we're also going to i'm going to be unequivocal about always standing up for canadians right. canadians' interest. the troubles of the argentinean and the turkish turkish currencies are roiling markets worldwide this week the argentine peso plunged twelve percent to a record low on thursday also on thursday the argentine central bank raised interest rates to sixty percent sixty percent oh my gosh even that failed to stop the slide of the peso the recent fall of the peso was ignited after president machree of argentina made a plea on you tube to the international monitor.
