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 think. it was legalised when they call you like they're not even people yelling sound like no not in our studio your brain is. more strange brainwashed. and very wrong was your opinion on now is that really what they were great not is. the greatest. don't really have huge and i know it's nothing i mean is that correct the thing is that now the national socialism or the number of the supporters hardly more than

two or three thousand significantly more people counter-protest. slitter in from the countries communist party thinks the threat posed by swedish nazis is fear we much exaggerated but that they have a really good media strategy when politicians they would go there and threaten people and make a lot of noise and being really tough and dangerous and look really scary in the media will write about this but i mean they're not so many people they can be a real threat the two 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 his name as a voice of reason in sweden and believes north is getting too much attention it offered a different explanation for that maybe sometimes it is easier to. focus on them
10:32 pm
because look nazis 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 one's liberal nordic state but these parties a showing they will confront current migrant policies head on lead for better or worse great no shouty reporting from sweden. the us has declassified six hundred pages of private conversations between former american and russian presidents bill clinton and boris yeltsin that took place between one thousand nine hundred three and one nine hundred ninety nine when yeltsin left office election collusion need to expansion and the future russian president vladimir putin were among the many topics they discussed our senior
10:33 pm
correspondent mara 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 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
10:34 pm
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 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
10:35 pm
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 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
10:36 pm
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 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
10:37 pm
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 and he can easily have good relations and contact with people who are his partners who will win the election in 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
10:38 pm
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. still to come amazon's in the firing line over working conditions for its american staff and one third as got a plan to balance things up that story and more when we come back.
