part of dialogue washington declassified hours of conversation between former u.s. and russian presidents bill clinton and boris yeltsin a. lucky escape on board for this passenger jet that overshot the runway betancourt fire in southern russia it left eighteen people injured but no deaths on the plane also coming up. why. afghanistan is israel uses live ammunition again and says palestinians continue to protest israeli occupation of the gaza border. and pre-election polls in sweden showed growing split over migrant numbers as euro skeptic and right wing parties rattle the ruling social democrat.

by the afternoon just passed at four pm in moscow this saturday afternoon watching out international with me kevin zero in a thirty minute live update coming up then starting with this the u.s. is 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 in one thousand nine hundred nine when yeltsin left office election collusion nato expansion and the future russian president vladimir putin were among the many topics they discussed our senior correspondent lord took a closer 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 with latvia lithuania romania slovakia slovenia so yeltsin tried everything he even begged. let us have a verbal gentlemen'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 were named friends even joked 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 there 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 shake 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 could go in yeltsin 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 as. knows who will win the election 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 encroachment european security trade and lower ones what's changed is that russia's grown up turns out it's much harder being friends when you're more equal. a passenger jets overshot the runway caught fire in southern russia it left eighteen people injured including three children he goes down off reports from the scene in sochi 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 sorts of 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 of 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 him. 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 there a human factor involved too also with the russian transportation authority will be investigating and 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. but of confrontations expected during sweden's general election with a country split right now over surgeon margaret numbers we could see the governing

left wing social democrats lose the upper hand in parliament at the same time the nationalist opponents are being widely criticized with claims of racism roof a national report. nationalist sentiment is pretty new sweden on the project change better tones here ok dictating 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 their sisters but it is a racist party with nazi roots that's what i've always said that the sweden 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 sweden is extreme in the european sense our policies are not extreme our politicians are not the extreme in general however when end to racism group has

been doing some digging and found candidates to the parliament from the sweden democrats had links to the neo nazi group the national socialist front. we had some bad eggs in our party but just today it was revealed that even you know the center party or the liberal party they have people who have killed people who have sexually assaulted females so unfortunately that happens in every party but because the swedish left wing media hates the sweden democrats they tried to you know bring that up more than for the others critics of the sweden democrats are still convinced their defining feature is racism a central point for them the central goal is to keep sweet and white. these people that came from. skinheads now two white power organizations during the night and they are now the second largest party in yet there are way more radical

forces 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 steve here 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 is 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 ministers to this movement basically present themselves as he'd lost soldiers. i. was the one to your life when they call you like

me now and the people gather you sound like no not in our studio you are right there yes i am around more to the right brainwashed so the wrong and very wrong what is your opinion on counties that. what they were great not just a nigerian law is the greatest you know really have huge and i know it is not here i mean is that correct nothing is that no national socialism or the number of the supporters hardly more than two or three thousand significantly more people counter-protest 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 the. 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 there are 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 staff and sherry quit his job to help migrants like himself integrate his name as a release of reason in sweden and believes is getting too much attention for a different explanation for that maybe sometimes it is easier to focus on them because look we know who they are we have the knowledge and when it comes to. make more extreme subjects 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 nazis by the media and politicians are right and 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 head on lead for better or worse great no shouty reporting from sweden. american consumers what we face is a tricky time ahead the new chief of the us consumer protection bureau was till recently only other side of the tracks using his legal experience to defend big business he represented facebook and consumer credit rating agencies before taking up the new position as caleb maupin reports there are now accusations that over 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 message 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 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 in this 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 pomp and r.t. new york much more to come this hour with me kevin though in the remote with you today including imus in the firing line over working conditions for its american stuff no one said it says he. he's got a plan to balance that all up tell you all about it soon as we come back. you know world's big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to get the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past

each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. make its manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final merry go round listen to the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick.

i get exactly ninety minutes pass for your moscow now thousands of palestinians who continue to protest against what they say is the israeli occupation of the terra treat for months demonstrators there faced lie the militia and take us at the gaza border local journalist who could areas more from the scene of this latest protest . thousands of palestinian tel tester's good to new to participate in the great march of return for the twenty third week demanding to break the siege demanding to be returned to their home that is that they were driven out and that back in one nine hundred forty eight that israeli forces are intensively so you think you have got status just on the palestinian protesters the palestinians are looking. from that you got that feeling. that that fire. this lady never happened everyone does it but it did it really does sears iraq was

suffocating for the tear gas the israeli forces killed hundreds of palestinian protesters and ensured thousands with live ammunition and tear gas canisters since the beginning of the great much 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 and i was excited my cameraman was effected and i was a journalist fireman exam protesters were affected by the tear gas the protests continued you got canisters continue to be fired on the policy 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.

well some balance here on the israeli side of it the israeli army says soldiers opened fire to disperse palestinians who'd thrown a grenade and rolled burning tires at the fence israel in the united states blames the bloodshed on the militant group hamas which controls gaza. there's a call for web retail giant amazon to be taxed to make up for low wages and poor working conditions for staff in the united states democratic senator bernie sanders says some employees at the nine hundred billion dollars firm of paid so little that they qualify for food stamps a severe a can report. the story of the american leftist movement bernie sanders is apt. with amazon the world's largest online retailer accusing the company of not treating its workers fairly it is too important to take a look at the power and influence that the answer is that all over this country amazon employees are paid wages so low that they are having

a real hard time getting bar the force of the 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 was like a something there was a loud crack i really feel it was an injury she really we don't seize your flights not stolen or anything just goes to it just so the surgeon supplied you through fish your shift it's either finished your shift. cliff 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 them 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 hourly wages and benefits amazon says it's median salary in the us . 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's accusing russian president assad of escalating the syrian conflict calling plans to rid province of islamic terrorists an assault my pompei or says the civilian population will end up being the brunt of it russia's foreign minister meantime earlier had laid out moscow's position the. group which are this is the last place for the terrorists so from all points of view this abscess should be removed it has been a haven for rebels and their families evacuated from areas retaken by the government almost three million people currently live in the province though according to the u.n. there are also thousands of jihadist militants there too it lip has another fact and we have to reconnect with 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 around ten of them. investigative journalist rick

standing told us western nations don't want to see these highly trained foreign terrorists currently in syria returning back to their home countries again 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 and it looked 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 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 i'm kevin and this is not a shot of some the people of new stories from moscow there's always more. the outlets are going to look at how to love their money and learn to love the idea that the not out of the mouth of the money they're letting him. this was a good time to. try to move there i'm doudna mom. no loud loud loud loud loud enough why not make jam there again to our son

or ex chanting in the hall people we believe just a little bit here. all of my kids i limit them up a soldier and a whole army of the moment i've got a mother how do it all accusers are there a lot of them i'm a little work in my building little of the things i don't want to put out a lot more party without all the more the world it. just. seems wrong why don't we all just don't all. the world get to shape our disdain comes to the ticket and in gains from it because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

it is you know provision on my bike when i want it. or not. the i realize he has but i. think you're so you know i lost his boss because i left for bagel got penny and thereby let me describe the media we don't see any problem on a month on those in person but that's honest i don't mean that it's really a feel so not as you know provision i'm. not just i mean my point is i'm already but i respect. the law but if they don't which are. given up as well i might say i meant that really feels i just don't get it i'm getting worse but those were the old. people are going to respect them all of this but i would probably say just for this part of this i'm going to come up with my family fussy about my just but that audience yes equestrian he thought of getting up there calling us implementing my thought out loud problem we just got going.

on after time said we're going underground as leaders of six new liberal nations and italy meets in canada and is arguably declining g. seven powers meet in canada amidst a trade war between themselves here in britain it's time for the queen's birthday honors well obviously not for some though it's a whole war of the world with which i don't want to be part of it and the list of those who turned down queen's owners is a long one they've been turned down by some of the most famous britons in history scientists like francis crick michael faraday paul de rock and stephen hawking.

all cut. away at. they all want peace will have to talk to us like. us or the democrats only elected leadership listed in people and cannot be ignored also turning down the queen where wright is like hadi szell huxley and pinch i think is did nothing truth in power and in the maintenance of that power to major not. if he's essential the people remain in ignorance that they live in ignorance of the truth even the truth of their lives lived through runs us therefore is a boston tapestry of lives not just stooge and down on his from the queen like lowery more and hockney and actors also like peter o'toole.
