i know it's sunday september ninth so i'm calling bright and wasco as i look back at the week's biggest stories as covered right here on c winding back to wednesday first when british authorities released photos of two men that they claim are responsible for the poisoning of russian double agent and his daughter in march the suspects are said to be russian intelligence officers and were acting on direct orders from moscow.

a many british media outlets were quick to seize on the claims accepting the authorities version with headlines branding the two men as putin's smiling assassins moscow says there are major inconsistences in britain's version of events but i guess he explains. we're sure but we are sure it's safe now but don't touch anything we're sure they're russian but we don't know who they are contradictions everywhere based on a body of intelligence the government has concluded that the two individuals named by the police and c.p.s. are officers from the russian military intelligence service. also known as the g.r.u. just check out so you can. go and you know just whether they are actually serving officers in russian intelligence agencies we have significant lines of inquiry about who don't meet when we want people to come forward and give us the evidence

you'd think they would have to know who these two suspects are before accusing them of being russian military intelligence agents but no instead they're asking the public for help to identify these two men who to raise it may already seems to know this was not a row operation it was almost certainly also approved outside the g.r.u. a senior level of the russian state would be real easy if they just called up the russians and ask them with passport numbers and everything but they aren't tunes speaking i can confirm that we have had no cooperation from the russian government on the other hand how do you complain that someone isn't being helpful when you refuse to pick up the phone you know it wouldn't be. the british and boy said that the u.k. site will not present any materials london also refused to present any other

information about the case passport numbers patronymics data from the cation and so on we understand that they will be transmitted by interpol so here we are the british refusing to so. much as acknowledge the russians and moscow in refusing to budge until the brits respond to certain questions look the russians have asked for fingerprints harmless right of the two suspects the british say they'll hand over nothing and then complain that the russians are being held for contradictions by the meticulous and painstaking searches and although unlikely it is impossible to guarantee that there are no other materials present and missiles greenery all the experts advise that the evidence to date does not suggest any long term health risk from short term one off contact with low levels of this agent so which is it

might be a tad confusing for locals in salisbury everything's fine and saved but it isn't so we don't pick anything up and keep an eye out is that over or not and then of course there's the huge gaps in the investigation we don't know where the suspects disposed of the ritual they used to attack this cripples front door where dollar and charlie got the bottle the poison the. or is it if it is the same bottle that has been used in both poisonings they don't seem to know what happened to the container for months and months and now asking the public for help to identify these suspects who they've already identified as secret agents of the discipline g.r.u. and to explain what happened to the nerve agent container which the said discipline secret agents just seem to throw away for ease of identification doesn't seem very professional one of the deadliest substances known to man ended up in

a charity bin sudden away after six months we're told this is how the poison came into the country in a power few bottle why could we don't been told that before why was not put out know what stopped these two people picking up a perfect bottle with the poison in it one of them dying as a consequence why are we not being told why have we not been told the full extent of what the danger might be in sos written i've still not been resolved the poor people there are still suffering so as i say i think there's a lot of questioning a lot of suspicion about this in britain these two people if the are russian intelligence officers are more austin powers than james bond two killers travelling on the same airplane from moscow and then back to moscow leaving in a skip or charity skip a perfume bottle full of an agent with a russian name having tried to kill two russians with it if you set out

deliberately to set up russia for this crime that's precisely what you would do someone trying to blame russia could not have done a better job than this good day the head of britain's counter terrorism scored neil basle in his press conference when asked do you have any evidence of russian state involvement in this crime he served with one more. no and to top all that all of the british insisted could only have been the russians first they said that only russia manufactured nova chocks and then that fell through the russians pointed out a dozen other countries capable of doing so czech republic admitted they had synthesize small quantities for defense britain's own chemical lab porton down admitted it had micro stockpiles contradictions everywhere. of voting gets underway in sweden in just under an hour from now polls there

suggest that the swedish democrats party is gaining traction with pre-election campaigning largely dominated by immigration on saturday the prime minister and center right party leaders lashed out at their anti immigration election rivals results you know not so used again and again and again they showed the nats in races roots and they're trying to destroy the time when we need that corporation the most new in the foster today it is not working class children who are not allowed to go to school now it is a lot of children of immigrants now we can choose if they will be given the same chance as other children we must attack did multiply we must fight against the population mostly left me populists in the right when this is an election about values. sweden's being fundamentally challenged and left party is growing in the swedish democrats are only a riff a national travel to the southern coastal city of helsingborg to gain opinion that . the swedes will be

a minority in our own country within two or three decades even if to stop all immigration now we will become a minority that's the demography journalist in good carlquist has been branded a racist by many she's calling for the borders to be closed and all immigrants to be sent away nowadays when people call me a racist i say ok fine let's get say that i'm a racist can we now go on to discuss the frogs the factories are ones one of the mused homogenous populations of europe almost equal to of all swedish people today happy foreign background and some parts of society really aren't happy with that reality sweden is not swedish anymore i mean this is still the change here used to be a small little shop where you could buy hotdogs now it's sort of a kick up show you never find any swedish dogs anymore but then as i ask out. now.

this looking lady. is just here. all the science arena rap being. all your order nor is owner of a no no no no no you're wrong to meet a woman you sure didn't expect to actually you should look. i'm very sad that sweden is swedish country anymore it makes me want to cry i don't regulate my eyes my own country if you like knowing cloyd discrimination. we don't talk about it because so used to that all swedes say oh we love immigration we love all you are come here so they get really you know they're not used to us we say what i say that's what they get oh what it's like while we continue to walk with the camera more and more people come up. to us most of them to argue. to complain

that in life but good luck so easy even immigrants think that we are a meek country that we don't have good laws abou adam tells us he's been an asylum seeker in sweden for almost fifteen years with no mark permits and no id so how do you get your money when you get one of the migration. but. who pays that money. yeah but who pays migration we dish taxpayers you know how much money how much we work i know how much taxes we pay i don't understand how this cabin going on for fifteen years was finished we did swedish migration agency and immigration minister and ministry of justice and social democrat party without getting any clear answer yet we look up on the agency's website twice he was denied asylum in two thousand and four and two thousand and seven his third application is

currently pending according to swedish law an asylum seeker can appeal against the decision if their application is refused today fifty thousand immigrants remain in sweden illegally have to failed asylum cases another seventy five thousand are still waiting on the migration board's decision including. for the third time in fourteen years to have this. i'm like a dog no more i have a swedish id. until to morrow comes from hold a so-called l m a card very fine him as an asylum seeker he can legally stay in the country and receives the coolant of iran and seven euros in swedish crowns every day and other social benefits but he's banned from studying or working here meditation give a paper i don't need to take his money if two thousand two hundred it's not money

is right but give me a paper i drop in the box like her help and other men. and if it's not just refugees here question the system's efficiency but the locals and base size of the political spectrum people have a sensation of that this is. slowly deteriorating everything is going the wrong way you cannot ignore also the fact that we have one thousand eight hundred given approval for two three point three million people from other countries to live here and seven percent of them have been refugees according to the united nations and the rest have come here for for many other reasons. and this discontent breeds fear and anger. given paper. the need to do that. is example like. wake up is it me. is it me boy i do what i can do. for you because you not give me

a paper. from sweden. the conflict in syria has been in the spotlight this week with the final battle for it live looming large in the north western provinces thought to be the last terrorist stronghold in the war weary country donald trump's warn the syrian leader against launching an attack on the area and his allies against taking part in what he calls a potential human tragedy the fate of a liberal also on the agenda of the u.n. security council on friday. there are more babies in italy than there are terrorists when russia and the assad regime say they want to counterterrorism they actually mean they want to drama school hospitals and how close. we are firmly under the impression that our western partners are sticking histeria ground and in any case are attempting to prevent the field of the last major terrorist stronghold in syria the assad regime and its enablers russia and iran

have a playbook for this. every man woman and child becomes a target this eerie an army has incurred enormous casualties and its efforts to make sure that as few civilians is as possible are killed it is the terrorists who make it their policy to go out and deliberately kill civilians history does not show that the syrian army has caused widespread civilian deaths unlike the situation in mosul and rocca where the western forces simply did carpet bombing in a field everyone. in the security council session was also devoted to chemical weapons because repeatedly said the terrorists in libya planning to use the arms to frame the assad regime have already bought eight bottles chlorine to the province russia also believes members of the controversial rescue group the white helmets

will be filming the incident when it states the united nations acknowledged that the terrorists did have. the government. which is the organization dick the irish by the. having the capability to produce weaponized chlorine regardless of russia's repeated claims the united states un envoy appeared to have her own idea about any future chemical attacks in syria. if there are chemical weapons that are used we know exactly who's going to use them . and yes russia is making accusations about opponents white helmets everything else. assad is doing the same.

that is the exact formula they always follow before a chemical weapons attack that assad does on its own the. possibility of an escalation and it was also the focus of talks on friday between the leaders of russia turkey and iran and a joint statement they said that the conflict could only be resolved through a negotiated political process but he does say that the only path forward is for the terrorists to put down their weapons however there was still an issue that they couldn't find common ground on. and. if we declare a cease fire this will be

a victory for the summit and the most important step in the process will give peace of mind to civilians. because it's a prison is right but we cannot speak for the terrorists and the opposition they are not here. the united nations estimates that some ten thousand downloads are terrorists or in the northwestern province a security analyst we spoke to says they're a major threat to civilians not just regime forces the major threat against civilians is a terrorist threat that the major threat against civilians comes from the about the most that are groups that are terrorist groups and i think it's absolutely ridiculous why would the syrian regime and the russians use any chemical weapons or allow the use of any chemical weapons for the last stronghold of these terrorist organizations i mean they all that is the route that the syrian army and the russian army were able to control most of the syrian territories this is r t donald trump's on the hunt for a white house mole supposedly behind an explosive opinion piece in the new york

times this week the details a few moments. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. get it right to be

cross it's like i'm a tree in the morning can't be that. i'm interested always in the why. should. it. come back to the weekly donald trump wants the u.s. justice department to identify the author of a bombshell new york times opinion piece the article was allegedly written by a senior white house official and brags about thwarting the president's agenda as well as claiming that stuff and resisting trump policies. i worked for the president but like minded colleagues and i have found to thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations on russia for instance the president was reluctant to

expel so many of mr putin spies as punishment for the poisoning of a former russian spy in britain but his national security team knew better such actions had to be taken to hold moscow accountable this isn't the work of the so-called deep state it's the work of the steady state it may. be called comforts in this chaotic era but americans should know that there are adults in the room of donald trump reacted fieri asli lashing out to the newspaper calling the article gutless while the president now apparently has reason to clear the ranks white house officials have denied any involvement. i come from a place where if you're not a position to execute the commanders and you have a singular option. in this to leave it's not my stephen nugent feels it was irresponsible for new york times to print this anonymous piece these types of political attacks are beneath the secretary and the department's mission they article exposes deep divides with officials the media and book because now speculating about who wrote it. there is

a real search now for who this person is is it you is it that person who is it this could really be anyone it could be someone who works at the white house some are speculating that it might even be members of president trump's family well some folks think they know who wrote the op ed because of an unusual word in this passage which describes john mccain's legacy as a lodestar but that word might be a clue to maintain international peace must again be our lodestar vigilance and resolve as our lodestone we have an expression as you know the hail mary this is when you try your best to throw the ball and hope somebody catches it something you're up against it you get the midterms coming they've tried everything they go after books we had the bob woodward book with the stormy daniels we had our rosa we had the michael wolff book we've got this we've got people now claiming and the latest let me add is elizabeth warren the senator who is suggesting that the president didn't say formants of the s.p.d. to the immigration party the a.f.d.

last september when the f.d.a. got record results getting into parliament for the very first time the election was a bit of a damp squib for the s.p.d. who lost forty seats so the oath is treated this as a bitter lesson. for me progressive and feminist viewpoint it seems impossible that a woman in germany would vote if d. and yet it happens conservative branches very concerned has a very traditional to women in my view women in the traditional views can have many roles even the study title the triumph over women question mark could be seen as a warning in itself as it appears to allude to the title of a nazi party propaganda film in titled the triumph of the will which cry. nicol the

nine hundred thirty four congress of the nazi party yet both the women that we spoke to felt that questioning over women triumphing with the right or with the left wing movements is not an issue it's what will kill their family the triumph of women i don't think it's necessary i think it's more important to talk about the triumph of our ideas and trying for friends as that's what prevails today we should not think in these terms male or female woman or man i think it's up to the individual but that's the way for this hour we catch up with max kaiser and stephen baldwin next on their road trip across the united states. or my body told me that i belong with the boys but my thoughts my mind

with that along with the girls. under the surgery starts to be a very popular. form of what. doctors. i was born a male had a sex change when i was thirty years old. i've now been living as a woman for twenty eight years and i fully recreate this. problem should have gone away from by now but they hadn't so these surgeries are nothing more than plastic surgery i've had several female to male friends and you look at it and you just go oh god you paid for that it's horrible nobody can change genders it's impossible. is delusional it's a mental illness. this is now one of my bones from flesh and from my flesh she shall be called woman pushy was taken out.
