so so it it won't be free and it's not free now but it and they are very are targeting. i wouldn't be surprised if i disappear because i'm anti war the author of the list was a bit of nobody before giving man birth to his catalogue but as its popularity swells let the public shaming comments. such as this clash is the german city of kimmel it's between the anti migrant protesters and rival groups left eighteen injured yes the multiple arrests the city's been hit by unrest throughout the week too after the stabbing of a local man is a roundup of what happened. i. this

murder has affected us too even though we had nothing to do with it we're still having to pay the price even though we did nothing. for her house . if you seen this place you're behind me so a lot of crime said deal was struck and so on to steal everything and so on and it's too much and i think we must help people but now it's too much. to be honest i'm ashamed of this city with these right wing extremists spread hate like that we should leave and piece together with the refugees.

what we have seen in common it is something that has no place in a constitutional spades it's become a witch mob spewing hate to miles treat these has no place in our country. the way you want when you stream is to have capitalized on this terrible pain ascribed is tasteless and a horror and we reject it is not acceptable when people who look forward are being attacked in the course of a spontaneous rally. parallel to this the bigger picture on to my good protest as holzman displaying photos of people who they claim of being assaulted by asylum seekers with. it was in germany's own legal and in force from sisters being blamed more all this than from our europe correspondent peter all of a. migration policy in germany is firmly in focus right now but what to do when it's been decided that the person doesn't have the right to be here and should be deported well at the bizarre end of the spectrum is the case of one man in

frankfurt who the city's office of public order confirm to r.t. has had a whopping five hundred and forty two criminal investigations against him the man who doesn't have a passport can't be deported because the authorities can't prove which nation he originally comes from oh and by the way this has been going on since ninety ninety eight over the last twenty years most of his offenses have involved drug charges driving offenses driving without a license and violations of the residency act but who year is remains a mystery we have a loose biography that suggests that he was born in one nine hundred fifty nine in north africa in the past he said that he was from morocco and also from his from algeria it could be that he is from one of those two countries or it could be from somewhere entirely different opposition figures say that this case shows the flaws in the current system in germany but i'm not surprised this is the most

extraordinary case the most ridiculous case so to speak it's a failure of system it's a failure of the government i think if the government really wanted to extradite people they could do it but they don't dare to do it because they're afraid of the left wing media. would protest and their. so-called human rights organisations they protest against the bay even try to prevent physically the extradition of people the most recent statistics for this year show that more than half of deportation orders were. carried out the most common reason for this is that when the authorities turn up at the door address where somebody was supposed to live they're not there and they can't be found however this year we've seen a sharp rise in the number of people who've avoided deportation after they physically resisted reaper ation of people that don't have the right to be here in germany is

on the list for angela merkel on their tour around africa we have a situation now where not all problems have been solved especially deporting are still a big problem the security system also the judicial system has to make clear that there is an effective system of crime prevention. and there is also an effective system in place of punishing committed crimes and not just coloring the situation beautiful lead by presenting statistics that was done by interior minister posse home for claims that the security situation was better than ever since nine hundred ninety two but it just took some statistics which did not really reflect the situation on the streets he left out all those cases that were reported to the police but were never really taken for because of lack of capacity

here on behalf of the police. it's exactly a week until sweden goes to the polls and it could prove to be a big electoral upset there with right wing support on the rise crimes a big factor in the campaigning it seems especially since a spate of arson attacks which gangs have been torching cars almost two thousand vehicles have been targeted in the country since january the motives behind the attacks tell us been officially established clearly inferior to though the swedish prime minister lashed out at the massed youths being blamed for the arsons. program or study first of all found the question has to be asked of those people who want to hack where you're doing what it forgot who do you think you are born or you destroyed the whole area of the neighborhood for the children on their way to preschool you have to see the burnt out cards that are going to cause that there must be a hard response from society any other sources. visited one troubled district with local journalist child freak who witnessed multiple arson attacks in self. or.

was it. something that was the hollowness one of this noble source where we go. right now we're driving to the southern part of stockholm the swedish capital to one of the areas called by police as vulnerable area or especially vulnerable area or risk area how the prefer to lead but in the media very often they call these neighborhoods right now around sixty one of them officially stood by police as no go so and he with me says swedish journalist tang three thank you so much for being my knight. no guns are in sweden seriously of course you could go dark. you will have a problem if you go there with the camera or if your. from here is

swedish vulnerable areas have been grabbing headlines over she teen in car burnings the latter has nearly doubled every ten years why do they burn the car and i think it's like to show police that there were called for all of the area not the police to go. lots of people angry and all because you know if you would want to because you have a parking lot with what the cost of war and you put one coral fire of course it will spread to the next door an extra. just a common thing that people leave those areas they are there to serve us to make some more money or do they move away immediately from the good old water kids to go with the school here for others for. a spot but discussion is a true i hope it's a global sort. of support of to chicago so you give up for example social a. he called it no it's a go go also you know so i went to holland i used to live there for

a visit with the police never figure out why they got out the day out of course. charge of a police car so they had to call for what you call the. ghetto or truck to get their way the police got here will start to prove it's a go go so known for high criminality rate the areas have also amputation for drug trade. terrorists one place where there's a lot of drugs obviously the people who kill it there are just go out there are. people standing here and for one of them. even if you're blind you will see what they could dealing drugs it's not like they are hiding it moved to the few people who have. to live with it which i don't violent that i thought of to go bush. on the good luck to do they know the job market give me money

no money ok but most of that issue than you may know. but what we've seen across sweden's vulnerable areas looks quite tense just like the country's prime minister has described although he is smart he's never agreed many tend to blame the massive number of any goings on the situation. people think that it's related to his two thousand and fifteen immigration crisis the no this is because of immigration we are twenty years ago a lot of these people are criminal of second generation immigrants the parents correct me if you want to be a bit from arctic you can say that the worst is still ahead of us. social scientist a drink drug or pub believes that poverty is the root cause of sweden's problems. well you understand that look at how it go about it because it does go on but we have a very simple we're not allowing. my grounds to get into the labor

markets also that's not a big brawl and here we are. in there we can integrate tunisia. political. parties story. from being social democrats. getting into. rights new yorker a not for a political. situation here solves all of course it's a little bit cold to conduct way. the u.k. as minister for women has been criticized by rights activists for expressing concern over the rising number of children wishing to change their gender i read in the paper recently there has been a large increase in the number of teenagers who are identifying a satch and i think we need to get down to the reasons why this is happening it may simply be a case of greater awareness in maybe that they see it as an answer to questions they are perhaps not asking themselves transgender issues are increasingly being

raised in the u.k. the mission is being launched to recognise the community's rights one recent example is edinburgh university where new students are being encouraged to wear badges with the words he she or they on indicating how they want to be referred to the students' union campaign is part of an effort to avoid so-called mis gendering however it says students should not use the term preferred pronouns in emphasising it's not a preference but a necessity we debated this whole issue in the week with human rights activist peter tatchell and radio talk show host john gaunt. trans people do not choose to be trans they don't make this decision about gender reassignment career without very very serious long protracted thought and indeed is often agonizing they face often rejection by their parents being thrown out of home and very high rates of suicide and attempted suicide so this is not a decision that

a young person takes lightly and if they make the decision but they feel that they are one gender or another i think we should respect that i don't think it's a big deal too it's about common decency just about being kind and compassionate to other people so i don't i agree with that but part of same token they should respect our rights to have a different view and when you talk about this this is always brought that thing about trans in suicide it isn't because they're struggling with the fact they think they're in the wrong body that leads and generally to the suicide it's aster when they realise they've made a dreadful mistake which is why the woman's minister or the education minister is right to say we need to look at why more and more young people are trying to go through this if somebody feels they are you know being assigned the wrong gender they're in the wrong body i have enormous sympathy for them but we shouldn't be kind of i don't really want to use this word but encouraging it which were

edinburgh university is doing well no one is encouraging them and nor should anyone encourage them this is a call that's coming from the young people themselves well if the purpose of these badges is just to raise awareness and in particular to make transfusions and their friends and allies feel comfortable safe and accepted i don't think that's a terrible thing i think it's just a common human decency to become mine too i know that perfectly reasonable have made this decision what's not reasonable add on a minute where universities are trying to tell lecturers it's happened at university. of toronto of course famously with jordan peterson where they told him he had should not use things like hello ladies and gentlemen hello boys and girls they had to fit into these new pronouns if they want to say today i'm a man tomorrow am a boy the next my fridge freezer so but i don't have to fainter i don't want to get into a situation well i have to change pronouns i have to change the english language

trans people our reality their existence since time in our throughout history i think the fact that there are more people coming forward is because there is greater social understanding and acceptance the stigma and guilt is fading away the issue has been discussed more openly and that is why more people are coming forward and violence trans but it's still a tiny tiny minority. in the conversation went on just one of the many many stories we covered this last week or an r.t. international you can catch up on it all too but check out our you tube channel or facebook or download are up as well for the stories as they happen twenty four seven direct your mobile device for those covered i would say thanks for watching this hour far as program more for me so join the programs after the break.

how can. that. not be out of the mouth of the money that they let actually. this was a good time to. try to move their i don't know mom. finally get a little money now why not. why extending in the old people we believe this will be the end. all of my kids i don't want them up a son johnny moment on account of mother having. a little money on the way can not be old enough to want to. look to my. mother while that it.

is you know provision on my back when i want it. but i. owe. you for your hydro alaska's buskers i just got then you just gotta go resources you know just like any program on a month all of those in person but that's honest i don't think there's any of them . showing us you know what i was you're not. you're not just on the most wanted i'm already where we spend a lot of the media and. i remember a lot because they go. there for an up as well i must admit that really feels i just don't get off on getting noticed but those were the off the list people sounds those people are going to respect i'm one of those but i was just this well is one of these are. my family fussy carbone but you suspect that they're already yes it

will be in the thought of getting up there calling with you you're simply meant to kill. yeah about a large part of me just got to go to the. bar a. ton of welcome to worlds apart for decades russians have both laughed and despair that the inadequacies of their system while also struggling to accept the same kind of criticism from foreign theirs and when russia decided to hold a mirror to their west own imperfections including by setting up this child it

turned out western tolerance to criticism is even more why is it so difficult to communicate without pointing out what's wrong with one another well to discuss that i'm now joined by tony cab and a former diplomat and the author of a book called return to moscow well mr cabin it's a great to have you in the studio thank you very much for your time and happiest charlie a day thank you very much. now when you say australia in the russian context it conjures up an image of a beautiful faraway land with bright sonde blue sky a beautiful beaches with friendly people who spent most of that time surfing and i know it's turn a typical but i think it's a nice mental picture to get you through the long russian winter but i suspect when you say russia in their struggle and contacts. the associations are probably not so positive are they. live they can be quite negative unfortunately when it's being

fed a diet of cliches about russia. russia is still very much seen through a. post soviet lens as the success of state to the soviet union and somehow or other images of go leg and stuff in the countries of extreme cold discomfort of rudeness of the kinds of things that unfortunately still linger on and you wrote the whole book to address some of those negative stereotypes and i think you have a very unusual take for a western or former western diplomat. when it comes to russia because. i think there's a lot of understanding there's also a lot of compassion in your book and i really appreciate that but i will want to ask you whether you ever felt that you are giving this country an easy pass i don't think so i think that the majority of the content of my book deals with the

sometimes very disagreeable parts of russia's history i've got a chapter on the leg museum i've got a chapter on the jewish museum of tolerance and i talk very frankly in those two chapters of some of the black spots in russia's history. and i think what i felt as a former professional diplomat for thirty is and i was an ambassador to poland but that we must postings. i felt i had a certain responsibility to my own society to say look we are being fed. fantasies about russia the real russia is not what we're being told about. i want to go and i want to see what it's like and my process of disenchantment from the western propaganda machine against russia really began pretty much. interested in fourteen with the events in ukraine and the way in which they were

being reported now i hope we will go into the ukrainian events a little bit later on into the program but. you mentioned the this negative image of russia and russia is definitely not an easy country it's a very complex society it's sometimes a very contorted country and i think we the russians are the first to you know inexperience died and i think that actually goes to the very notion of russian patriotism it's loving russia is it's a bit like caring for the disabled loved one you know the disability you hate them but you love the person all the more because of that and that is actually i think the most moving part of your book for me that you accept disability rather than the typical western scolding that russia is not good enough but what i thought find even more troubling is that scalding that irritated russians a lot if you years back now seems acceptable because it essentially digraphs into

the open bigotry why do you think this lack of compassion not even the lack of basic decency towards this country has become so does your mental conditioning and mutual propagandizing to the point where people come to believe each other if they keep telling each other that's good you know if you if you repeat large enough and enough they become the truth and when you've got people in time media communities who constantly rest. prince and each other with attitudes and opinions that really have no basis in fact unfortunately fulfill turn to will to fulfill certain reality takes hold and i found when i decided to come to russia i was confronted by my friends and my colleagues in canberra which is the government center of australia with all sorts of illusions once you get outside moscow people will be stuffing better not get sick in moscow you in russia you won't be looked after

properly all rubbish but the point is these have become general beliefs and i felt as a former ambassador whatever authority i still had and whatever credibility i still had. i want to put it at the service of of writing a book that would encourage a better understanding of russia now i wonder. whether this issue of portraying russia always in a very negative light is also connected to the west own self perception because in your book you're afraid. liberal interventionist as a driving force behind many of the west or america's adventures and we i think it's impossible not to agree that many of those adventures created more harm than good and yet they also produced very little in the way of south for selection to what extent this insistence on portraying russia as really ugly is predicted on the need of the west to see the south as invariably good despite all its recent

policy blunders yes i think you're absolutely right. it's very important for the west and i late however you define that military diplomatic political media that. believe in their own objectivity they have to believe in it but it's not just objectivity it's some sort of eternal goodness. the other side being always. in the wrong well yes although i'm not sure that i very many people would talk about being good and evil i mean that's that's a moral concept in the west that it's become a many many of the speeches are forced in positions you constantly hear these theme of moral superiority drawing you know making i think this is a recurring theme in many of the present obama statements and in many of the statements by british politicians that they could be no moral equivalency between

for example russia and the west where in fact why would you even think about equating anyone morally everybody makes mistakes everybody has his own or her own difficulties why would you need to compare anyone on the moral basis yes well i find that really very strange and limited thinking on that because to me russia is one of the most morally conscious countries in the world i mean the country that produced the story if. it's all about morality it's all about what is good what is evil this is something that preoccupies russians in a very noble very noble sort of way on the other hand i see the west my own country australia which is the small satellite of america not so much as a country that is sort of morals and itself but a country that believes in its own pragmatism we we we like to pretend that we are totally realistic when we're not we become prisoners there and illusions in your

book here i think very eloquently explain that russians have this deeply ingrained fear of war which comes back to you our losses in world war two and perhaps even before that and i think you can easily make a case that russians sometimes overplay those fears those insecurities or security concerns but i wonder why do you think people in the west have lost out fear because they seem to be treating all those interventions especially in foreign lands very key. casually without any concern for the people there and for tel own. well being because you mentioned the issue of pride much is but what is still pretty much about going into libya or syria well i think that's a very good question because to my mind war and entertainment have become good in our culture and we've children grow up playing playing war games on their computer this war has somehow been domesticated as entertainment. the

major hollywood film industry. films about war. remember the way george bush when he wanted to declare victory. in iraq he went to an aircraft carrier and put on a boat much eckert and stood there like tom cruise but look at the way he package that i mean he was basically making a little woman. and so i think russians on the other hand the war is a dreadful reality for them this this this wonderful new tradition of the much of the poke to russians this business thing funny about war it is serious and i'm sure that russia will get to extend your question little bit i'm sure that russia will be the last country in the world to abandon its nuclear deterrent i think russia will be the last to give up nuclear weapons because russia regards nuclear weapons as the bow walk against invasion no war by

a superior coalition of speaking about this affair superior outside coalition force as those tensions that we've been discussing came to had a new crane in two thousand and fourteen and in your book here try to explain both russian and western thinking in great detail and there is this popular view in moscow that as painful as the ukrainian rupture was and it certainly was and is for russia russia is paying it at great cost for the kind of decisions that made in the ukrainian conflict there is also believed that the rapture. how to prevent a much bigger conflict between russia and they said that if russia didn't act. moment back in two thousand and fourteen that the nature would continue pushing across its border and there would be no other way escape that direct confrontation how much do you crave at that oh very much so i mean there was a sort of a rehearsal for crimea some years beforehand and in georgia of course went under

a lot of american encouragement of the saakashvili government but very provocatively towards russia and a couple of ethnic group parts of georgia and iran and i think i forget the name of that not going to cut and dash and russia drew a line that russia moved in with support for the local local governments local ethnic groups and drew a lot and that was a dress rehearsal if you like ukraine became the real thing because for many years before the the overthrow of the you know in a case which government for many years before two thousand and fourteen there was all kinds of encouragement being given to nationalistic elements in the crowd and the russian elements by the united states and by certain european countries do you think they actually distill the seriousness of.
