votes in a general election dominated by concerns over immigration on a country with almost eighty five percent of ballots counted the immigration sweden democrats party of almost eighteen percent of the vote now it's been a disappointing night though for the ruling social democrats they have just twenty eight percent their worst result in more than one hundred two years this week moderates party are in second spot currently with nearly twenty percent means as things stand neither the center left nor the center right coalition will have enough seats to form a government political unless charles or tell believes the result is a blow for the leadership but certain seem like this is going to be a clear break with the past i think it's a rejection of the current leadership i think it's a combination of. concern and care about the state the bad state of the immigration influx in the violence and the under-reported and unreported crime situation which

both swedes do know about but which the government and the corporate owned media refuse to publish you know i think it's past the tipping point and i think we have to be watching sweden not simply in this coming week but in the months and years ahead it's going to change i hope either much for the better or much for the worse well before the election maria fanaa travel to the southern city or of health sing board to gauge opinion really on the most divisive issue in the election migration . 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 facts the fact is once one of the mused a moment just populations in 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 cap sure you never find any swedish anymore but then as i ask out. now. this picking it. is just here. all the science arena rap being. all your order nor is owner of a no no no no let me wrong for me to believe you sure don't expect me to actually

you should look. i'm very sad that sweden is not a swedish country anymore it makes me want to cry only regularize my own country if you like going cloyd in the nation. we don't talk about it because so used to that all swedes say oh we love immigration we love all you are now come here and so they get really you know they're not used to us we say what i say that's what they get oh what while we continue to walk with the camera more and more people come up. to us most of them to argue. to complain it is nice but if it's 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 like permits and no id so how do you get your money when you get. migration. but. who pays that

money. you know who pays migration swedish taxpayers you know how much money how much we were i know how much taxes we pay i don't understand how this cabin going on for fifteen years was finished we did ask 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. like dogs. wish i did. until to morrow calms them holds 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 give me a paper i don't need to take his money if two thousand two hundred it's not money is right but give me what i joked in the box like her. and for me it's not just refugees here question the systems efficiency but the most 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 nineteen eighties 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. this just contained breeds fear and anger when it comes to immigration and migration both given paper. you need to do that. is example like holloway. is it me i'm not partial is it me boy i do what i can do to make like problem for you because you're not in the paper. from sweden let's turn your attention to another european country now rallies have been held in chairman e. over the death of a twenty two year old man in the town of kirton who was reportedly killed in a fight on saturday the killing has been blamed on migrants hundreds of people took

to the street some were met by heavy security presence in a recent. update to the incident on something that medics are now saying the man died of a heart attack two suspects are being held. two afghans were provisionally detained on suspicion of homicide the reasons for and concrete circumstances of the incident are not yet known german media report of incident took place on a playground two or three afghan men started an argument with a pregnant woman to locals are believed to have stepped in leading to a deadly fight. well this follows riots elsewhere in chemnitz softer a man was stomped allegedly by a rocky or syrian migrants. well

the authorities are blaming the rise of the far right for the current situation in its. when today someone gives not to suits now streets that's a disgrace for a country we must get up from our couches and speak out and see you on the chemist's government is at the forefront of the movement that right wing radicalism

has no place in the. fourteen minutes into the program welcome back u.s. prosecutors have admitted to wrongly accusing maria boots and the alleged russian spy now awaiting trial in custody of offering sex in exchange for employment in a recent court filing prosecutors said the accusations were based on boot and text messages and other information they had obtained but conceded the government wrongly interpreted the conversations back in july maria butanol was arrested on charges of acting as a foreign agent without registering but the u.s. government moscow called the arrest politically motivated of some attempts to prove bitterness gilts been eye opening.

human rights lawyer done cover alexei's the sex allegations were an attempt to destroy but in its reputation i think in order to bootstrap a pretty weak claim against they originally had the salacious claims of her offering sex firms lawyer men which frankly would rise to the level of case anyway. but frankly in order to destroy her reputation which they probably have in fact of lee done it is alex of atlantic the case will be dismissed and there's nothing here i think this was a political gambit frankly to deal with the bigger geo political issues to try to ruin. you know the outcome of the summit between trump who she's being used as a political pawn by the united states and these k. this should these charges will be dropped but in the meantime life will be

destroyed. earlier this week british authorities released photos of the two men they've charged with the poisoning of russian double agents surrogate script his daughter in march the suspects are said to be russian intelligence officers acting on direct orders from moscow. well many british media outlets were quick to accept russia was to blame the spike

no direct evidence linking the man to the kremlin being made public headlines are branded that you putin smiling assassins moscow says' there are major inconsistency in britain's version of events. talks us through now. 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 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 and speaking to us 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 voice 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 and 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 in the source 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 save 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 yet know where the suspects disposed of the ritual they used to attack this cripples front door where dolan 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 way 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 it not put out now what it is stop 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 and 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 traveling on the same airplane from moscow and then back to moscow leaving in a skip or charities 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 for the british insisted could only have been the russians first they said the new russia manufactured new virtual chs and then that fell through and 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. protests have been held across russia against controversial pension reforms the rallies took place

during nation mine regional elections on sanction marches granted ahead in moscow on petersburg organized by opposition figurehead alexina of the according to police more than one hundred people were arrested the popular reforms adopted by the russian government earlier this year will increase the retirement age from sixty to sixty five for a man on from fifty five to sixty three for women responding to the i try president putin last week offered a compromise saying the pension age for women would only be raised to sixty. well remember right up to the moment of developments can always be found on our twitter page do stay with us now though for more great programs right ahead.

join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. for manner sitting in a car when the phipps gets shot in the hand. all four have different versions of what happened one of them is on the death row there's no way you could have done it there's no possible way because the list did not shoot around a corner. in a world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever

we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the bad and 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 washing clothes for watching the hawks. they're. on the welcome to worlds apart millions trapped in they've lived facing down this

car didn't have line it was so. because of the western media coverage just before the leaders of russia turkey and iran got together to discuss the future of the last opposition held stronghold in syria did the meeting in tact eliminate the danger of an imminent bloodbath and was it after all on the cards to discuss that i'm now joined by alexi klebnikov middle east expert at the russian international affairs council alexey thank you very much for your time thank you for coming over for inflation now i'm sure you watch the broadcast of the meeting beach was quite unusual in a sense of allowing all of us a glimpse of how global leaders tangled with one another behind closed doors let's watch a clip of what happened at this meeting and then discuss it. and even 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 that it just gives you the state it literally but we don't have representatives of the opposition at the table you have to learn how to

isolate them to be the president of turkey is right that would be good too but we can't speak for them especially for the terrorists on this trip will i still go to a bit of a friendly becoming on the part of president putin and president present aragon later refrain he's requesting to let's call on all the bad guys to lay down their arms to reach everybody eagerly agreed i wonder though how do you interpret that was that all theatrical in front of the t.v. cameras or was it jannie an effort on the part of president barry go on to get a little bit more out of this meeting well the first place if we hypothesize and thing that it was actually staged in reality it reflects existing disagreements between all parties i mean it's impossible to believe that all three russia turkey and iran have agreed on everything so far so of course it's not true so actually and this episode tiny episode gives us some idea about like we'll disagreements

between russian turkey on that one of our colleagues here in moscow suggested that this was a good call bad call protein played out by a putin an error though on two on one hand montagne the credibility of the opposition and on the other hand to bide are they on a little bit more time the question is why would turkey need more time in a bleep and is there any credible opposition left in that province because from the kremlin's perspective everybody who wanted to reconcile with either syria or russia have already done that in other provinces the only people left in the diehards. starting with the second point i mean depends on who you are and how we treat and how we define who are the moderate opposition and one of. the moderation of the opposition it's about whether or not these people are ready to talk and from what i understand there have been several statements by the leaders militant leaders on the ground that i know it's very easy to negotiate they want to as as i said die

hard i mean doing this are in conflict we are always in every stage and in every here with soul such groups and from perspective. ninety five percent of those groups are not inclined to negotiate and to talk. to pursue political process so. i think it would not matter for talk about the summit what matters here is russia turkish relations and their partnership in lip in the first place russia understands that for turkey it's one of the most important parts and it can just push it and impose its own way to on on its partner well i was partially both agree and disagree with you.
