why do you think it's this particular incident that's flared up such emotion on both sides of the argument it's always you have the this movement something is developing developing developing somewhere of some waves in the background and then you have the final spark and this was only the final spark why it happened and come it could have happened also in congo some months ago could have happened in other towns but the demonstrations that we've seen following not now we've heard people describe them as far right i think they would be fair to say some of the symbols they were being thrown out with all right we saw straight arm salute so. how do. you ally yourself with the well we don't ally also with this it's an open immigration it's open right to somebody freely we can't control who comes to our events because if someone does something our loss will be trying to isolate them hand them over to the police because they're not part of our party we have between six and eight thousand normal citizens normal demonstrators are monk them between

home and ten people showing the nazi greeting it's not till ten many many too many but that is what i want to tell you. that you cannot blame. six to eight thousand normal citizens for having meddled among them you can blame them for it we saw the prison warden he illegally leaked that these were to people of. iraq and from syria he'd been arrested. there is an undertone that this was done in order to promote that far right now most of it was done because even people in the administration even the officials i mean absolutely fed up with the policy which is going on in germany that's the way it looks here in came it's right now we'll be keeping an eye on this over the saturday how this develops and bring you all up to date on all that happens. a tough confrontation as expected during sweden's general election. but the country split over

a surge and migrant numbers it could to the governing left wing social democrats who lose their upper hand in the parliament at the same time their nationals opponents are being widely criticized of claims of racism where for national report . nationalist sentiment is pretty on the project change better homes here for the upcoming general election the un team migrants 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 the a focus is on smart immigration policy this is like an old all way of trying to scare people off from voting for us sweden is an 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 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 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 same time 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 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 there's still a fever 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 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 to your life when they call you like me now and the people gather to shout and make no not in our studio you are right there yes i am around more still right brainwashed to the wrong and very wrong what is your opinion on now is. what they were great not is. the greatest you know the really have huge and i know it's nothing i mean is that correct nothing is it 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 there. 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 we individuals but on a societal level they are just. they are nothing if former swedish police officer with afghan or reaching mustafa been cheri 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 has 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 nazis by the media and politicians are right and far right movements are

still winning people over in this once liberal lord 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. the u.s. has declassified six hundred pages of private conversations between former american and russian presidents bill clinton and boris yeltsin it 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 among the many topics they discussed our senior correspondent mara gustier takes 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 were back when 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 and bulgaria as stony 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 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 box and all the time perhaps we could agree that is not necessary for us to carry the chairman down chick well i'll have to think about this all week kerry 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 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 no ones what's changed is that russia's grown up turns out it's much harder being friends when you're more equal. 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 using his legal expertise to defend big business he represented facebook and the consumer credit rating agency equifax before taking up the position and is killed off and reports there are now 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 methods of competition and deceptive practice 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 anderson 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 c.d.i. its members include the three national credit bureaus equifax.
