an investigative documentary. on. the french president crawling sparked by liners a video emerges of him talking to a group of migrants some of whom claim they've been on documented in the country for years. also ahead on the program sweden's ruling social democrat suffered their worst election result in a century while the insurgents sweeping democrats to make major gains with their anti immigration platform. despite iraq the clearing itself free from islamic state almost a year ago we reported another terror group remains active across large swathes of

the country. opening fire on them straight away and my son has been lying on the ground before i knew it the murderous told us they grew from the islamic state of iraq my brother was killed after he was kidnapped at a fake checkpoint run by i saw terrorists. just a few moments into a brand new day here in moscow choose the september eleventh welcome to r.t. international i mean our top story the french president. has come in for a burger raj of criticism online after footage emerged of him talking to a group of apartment documented migrants here's the exchange.

pretty embarrassing that video there for president mcewan as he saw in the video a man claims that he's from algeria and he's been on holiday in france for can you believe it eight years mr matt a little bit surprised when he heard that but just so the system regulated documented so you can be in france probably in the man says yes i'm going to but the reaction on twitter has been absolutely outrage that that was the president's only reaction to a man who's just essentially told them that he's been undocumented in this country for eight years others went as far as saying perhaps president had even disrespected france's own rules take a look at some of the reaction on twitter attention this is not a parody that is the president of our republic hey mr mccraw thanks a lot mr micron we are undocumented we love you so much when the most powerful man

in france looks the other way when there is an obvious breach of law he makes fools of the whole country. sure. i don't blame specifically because this problem. well right at the very end of the video it does seem as if the man is trying to attract some of his statement but doesn't wait very long and he hastily moved along very aware i'm sure that the cameras were on him and that encounter was being filmed and surely going to be disseminated like it was across social media and this of course immigration is a sore subject here in france recently the french government has introduced its no new migration bill where it's trying to make it more difficult for people to apply for asylum migration status here in france and also trying to make it much more efficient to deport undocumented illegal migrants like that man suggested he was at

the very beginning of the video so what mark probably didn't want is to come face to face for somebody who's actually saying i'm an illegal migrant and i've been in your country for eight years eighteen months and that of course was the tenure of mr maclin himself just hours before that immigration was something that matter all had been talking about with the german chancellor angela merkel because it is expected to be one of the big battlegrounds ahead of next year parliament now while mrs merkel has often been happy to pose for photos and videos of migrant in this open the arms of germany to many migrants in the past mr mack on is probably not feeling exactly the same in heartwarming about that encounter because as i said it is a big battleground ahead of next year's new parliamentary elections and for many might be feeling that this video could play into the hands of his opponents more than he would actually like. elsewhere in europe the right wing sweden

democrats it's largest ever a share of the general election vote over seventeen percent in appalled. dominated by concerns over immigration the party's leader that cleared his movement the true victors. your reappearance of all the only people i know who has won this election is the sweden democrats that's how it is we're strengthening our pivotal position and increasing our seats in the swedish parliament. we're going to get incredible influence in the future and no one could take that away from. sort of a growth in the sweden democrats. but will help society to be able to only increase division and hate in any case it was a disappointing night for the prime minister's ruling social democrats claiming twenty eight percent of the vote that's their lowest result in over a century the swedish moderates were second with close to twenty percent and with

no clear winner the result likely means a lengthy negotiations on forming a governing coalition re if a national reported for us from sweden in the run up to the election told us earlier about the sphere across the country. the mood was not easy i can even say it was quite depressive this what i felt after tour in sweden for almost fourteen days people were telling me things are not like they used to be health care and justice system police even transportation i remember we had a rendezvous with one politician in modern more in other southern sweden and he was late for a full two minutes after his train was delayed and when he finally iraq he was like oh even trains don't run on time in this country anymore so of course it was a joke but with some big to truth of people were not quite happy with the happening in sweden but security was the biggest concern of course with cars burning throughout the country with gang shootings on the rise now we're driving to the

southern part of stockholm and is to reduce capital to one of the areas called by police as vulnerable area or especially vulnerable area or risk area how the refer to the truth of people who have. it if it was it would either be violent that it would look like a. move to the local do you know who drove over the mafia give me money the woman who. was the gun you may know. but again bad things mostly happened in these vulnerable areas but this feeling of insecurity spread far beyond these omes and that's really what the sweden democrats were trying to capitalize on the making trying to make that the regling between immigration and crime oh yeah they've talked a lot about violent crime during the a compelling and they blamed immigrants for all the problems in the country the

years it was considered for and tolerance we as i'm over told to talk bad about immigration this is why sweden democrats often and openly. were accused of being not so your carry nazi ideas for this position. but i can say that there were many. more extreme groups much more extreme groups in sweden running for these three elections for example nordic resistance movement they present themselves actually like people are soldiers and they were hoping to get some votes during this campaign is well. i. don't know if there was definitely a very very good person or the german people definitely. the free germany. they are against this we're against the now sushma racism and so beleaguered to say

that it looks like i mean that must be cause for the police to intervene and as you say in such a renowned liberal country like sweden what were people saying to you about well whether we're right in sweden democrats were wrong or right many people believed that immigrants are indeed to blame and that's what i felt while travelling across sweden this and immigration no particular entity no new repeat immigration sense this what we filmed in health and work 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 you never find any swedish dogs anymore but in a sense. now. this big english. is just here. all the signs are you know how big is your problem your

org is oh no no no no no no you're wrong with me even if we do expect you actually to use you know i'm very sad that sweden is not a swedish country anymore it makes me want to cry i don't read. in my eyes my i.q. if you like cloyd so as you can see not an easy time for sweden and as many people told me in the country it's not easy to make a right choice because really like too much of everything and not clear who can actually fix all of this paul my colleague colon brayed talked to from the sweden democrats party he gave us his thoughts on the election result. but one group more than we did so in. success. and also when it comes to the kingmaker position is. strength and what about those perceptions that your party's just trying to put an acceptable face on some of the more extreme elements in swedish political

society lumping it with far right groups like alternative sweden or nordic resistance well that's left wing media trying to demonize parties like ours where we can say what we do know is my point of view it's not responsible for the chaos that sweden is in the with immigration with all the problems we. have employees have been doing this for thirty maybe forty years and in every election they come up with the same so-called solutions to problems they themselves made the same thing all over again what has never been proven is unless immigration that's the one thing that's never been. the one thing we want to see. zero immigration and to get people to move back to their home countries we can see our own. turning our attention now to iraq where a spree of islam extended kidnappings and attacks have targeted security forces on

civilians despite losing territory the militants are still active in many parts of the country. turning to guerrilla warfare we heard from the relatives of some who lost their lives in the ongoing violence. that. lost by still controlled areas. the coalition to defeat has liberated very close to one hundred percent of that territory just recently. hell by these killers in iraq we had just absolutely decimated isis just absolutely obliterated isis in iraq.

yeah that mohammed i don't have one but the checkpoint out of the six would have a militant school would have demanded to get out of the car before but because terrorists i didn't ask why down because of anything they opened fire on them straightaway that i met my son and husband her lying on the ground before i knew it the murderous told us they were from the islamic state in iraq. that's the shot that got up my brother was killed after he was kidnapped at a fake checkpoint run by i saw terrorists have it.

in a set aside but the thought of this failed to warn us that the road was their interests and that there was a nice to check point that was completely unaware and to keep it to really go up to the terrorists killed by some hostile that about fifty to the security forces a few hours to get to the site and even after they did that they didn't venture close to the car as they feared that i was going to be trapped sell more idea i saw a terrorist demanded the release of some sunni women held in iraqi custody in exchange for my brother and others but the authorities applicator doing responsibility for the negotiations and i found myself having to do the talks on my own current iraqi leaders are failures they keep making statements and giving conferences but they. not doing anything on the ground. or the one that. i saw has lost everything and they no longer have the ability to control territories so what they're doing now is an attempt to send messages to the

media trying to show them they still exist by conducting terrorist attacks against innocent civilians those attempts are in fact pathetic and a sign of desperation. america's top security advisor has the clear the international criminal court outright dangerous john bolton also called the body ineffective illegitimates in the eyes over washington the united states will use any means necessary to protect our citizens and those of our allies from unjust prosecution by this illegitimate court . we will not cooperate with the i.c.c. we will provide no assistance to the i.c.c. and we certainly will not join the i.c.c. trumps national security advisor declared the i.c.c.

illegitimate and announced that the us would henceforth be rejecting international oversight to protect itself from war crimes investigations and promise to punish those that cooperate with these investigations according to bolton international law threatens u.s. sovereignty bolton also seemed to be justifying future acts of u.s. aggression saying that quote history has proven that the only deterrent to evil an atrocity is what f.d.r. once called the righteous might of the united states and its allies now he even attempted to legitimize past acts of u.s. aggression using the examples of the military raid to kill osama bin laden and recent airstrikes against the syrian government which both pakistan and syria viewed as violations of national sovereignty bolton also gave many special shout outs to its quote friend and ally pledging to protect israel from international probes as well saying that it's unacceptable to investigate the actions of such a quote liberal democratic nation and here's the icing on the cake bolton also

announced the closure of the office of the palestinian liberation organization in d.c. amnesty international has already chimed in and has called on the u.s. to support not impede i.c.c. investigations saying quote resuming attacks against the court sends a dangerous signal that the us is hostile to human rights and the rule of law but for some important background the u.s. signed but never ratified the rome treaty that established the i.c.c. well it appears that this it all started with the afghanistan case last year when the i.c.c. wanted to look into the situation starting with afghan government forces the taliban and the hakani network as well as a war crimes are allegedly war crimes committed by the u.s. since two thousand and three in today's press release the white house of referred to the pending invested. threatening more agreements to prohibit nations from surrendering u.s. citizens to the i.c.c. the banning sanctioning an opposition of i.c. from judges and further action in the u.n. security council should the i.c.c.

choose to move forward with the probe in this speech bolton spoke quite a bit about sovereignty which is interesting to say the very least given the history of how much the u.s. has value the sovereignty of other nations check it out do i think the united states is a threat to other nations sovereignty and the constitution. no i don't think we're a threat to anybody else's sovereignty i think i think it has been so important for the united states to appreciate the significance of a government that has the consent of its own people think we're very conscious of the of the importance of sovereignty we can't and don't attempt to control what other nations do and by the way this is coming from someone who has no regrets over the iraq invasion so that's also something to think about. the venice willing government has said it plans to hold a march on choose day to protest alleged the u.s. meddling in its affairs it follows american media reports that washington was

working to topple president nicolas maduro which america has neither confirm nor deny and the u.s. has only responded to the controversy by saying it would like to see a peaceful transition to democracy in venezuela. u.s. policy a preference for a peaceful orderly return to democracy and we knew remains unchanged the united states government hears daily the concerns of the news or aliens from all walks of life be the members of the ruling party the security services elements of civil society or from among the millions of citizens forced by the regime to flee or brought the claims that the us was attempting to organise trade a coup in caracas were published in a new york times article citing officials on both sides it alleged that meetings were held with rebellious then this will in military figures before eventually being halted then this will as foreign minister has cus think it did the us for its

alleged actions. venezuela reiterates his denouncement condemns the continuing aggressions that the us government has directly promoted against the constitutional president nicolas maduro democratically elected and reelected by a wide electoral remodulin in may this year. let's cross live now to paul dollops in journalist for the independent news side at venice will dot com good to have you on the show to get your your expertise on what is a a deepening story i think it's safe to say the reports have not been officially confirmed we should add but is there any reason to seriously doubt the claims of u.s. meddling in this do you think. quite the contrary i think i think the report from the new york times rather confirm what we hear in venezuela i used to seeing quite

frequently you look at the role of the u.s. government there were last twenty years we're going to venezuela it's been a case of meddling after meddling of the meddling including yes attempt to overthrow the government. this is no surprise at all this revelation washington's official reaction has been to state that it supports a quote return to democracy for venice weyler are these just words that are put out whenever you know trump needs a sign by or is there more to be read into that. one of the policies of the owners who are in opposition to. bring about what they call a transition government transitional government and i believe this is what the return democracy which the u.s. is talking about makes reference to but it's worth pointing out that international electoral observatory minutes well you'll have time and time again qualified the venezuelan democratic electoral system not just of one of the best in the world but far superior to many other nations including the very same system in the united

states so high running from the u.s. government to instigate a return to democracy in venezuela where info. we have a far better democratic system than the us speaker bellow of the ruling constituent assembly claimed but the u.s. was behind the attack against president maduro on the first week of august this year remember the headlines from is there a basis for that from what you've seen your readings your your background into this . so far we've not seen any evidence made public would directly link the u.s. government into this drone assassination attempt what we have seen evidence made public. includes the venezuelan citizen based in the united states in miami being accused of funding the campaign we've seen frequent meetings between the u.s. government and their bodies usa and other bodies with the venezuelan opposition

leaders who some of which have been included in the accused or this terrorist attack against the president so there is indirect link there but there is nothing directly have linked the u.s. government to the terrorist attack at this point how do you see this progressing all the relations between the u.s. in venezuela given the you know these developments and plenty more besides have been creating of late. well i think about as far as the relations go so as long as president obama continues his aggressive policy against characters the sanctions what he's imposed on the country we're having a devastating impact not just on venice weyler but also now in brazil and other neighboring countries as long as the trumpet ministration continues to persecute the government and those who are looking to bring about progressive change in minutes then i can see a way in which their relations are seriously going to improve. paula just what we

have you on the line the overall situation here we want to get your thoughts as well america has interfered directly in latin america in south america in the past . it was called i castigated there was a lot of reaction to that know this if it does appear to be a direct interference what does that say that they're not trying to hide it anymore that this is happening. we're seeing that we've seen the u.s. government through various agencies tried numerous different policies over the last twenty years in ninety ninety nine and we've seen direct interference we've seen indirect. funding we've seen media campaigns. and so on and so on. so comes to no surprise to us here and venezuela is worth pointing out that the u.s. government other than me rumor of our foreign intervention in the us electoral system for the u.s. government is a. scandal but it is very fine for the u.s.

government to meddle in other governments very fine for the u.s. government to meddle in other countries solve an independent countries. for them it's fine but i'm a whisper that the russian or russian people got involved in in the u.s. election there is a national day that shows some of the hypocrisy of the u.s. government i believe paul dobson journalist for the independent news site venice will analysis dot com thanks for your time this hour paul in the city of chemists in the division even seems to have reached the top level of the country security services with the domestic intelligence head coming under fire for his latest comments on mob violence in kenya it's our europe correspondent peter all of her prince this morning. plenty of questions heading the way. and the head of germany's internal intelligence service the beer file that's roughly the equivalent of m i five in the united kingdom or the f.b.i. in the united states now he made claims in an interview last week with

a german newspaper the videos it was supposed to show members of the migrant demonstration. hunting down and attacking people in the city of candidates who looked foreign or they thought were migrants he said videos could well have been faked and actually directly accused the media of trying to manipulate public opinion by putting those videos out oversea strong claims made against the press already there they become even stronger when you look that chancellor angela merkel specifically cited these videos in her well admonishment of the anti migrant demonstrators of the far right demonstrators in the city of candidates and elsewhere across germany there's been a lot of calls for mr marson to produce some proof to back up his claims in fact members of the left party the social democrats and the greens here in germany call for a palm tree inquiry into the comments of mr marson and actually gone so far as to

say that he should be stripped of his position in the s.p.d. risking the government that mr marson be removed from office since he's using his agency says seventy to present only those who've been reporting about the horrible events in chemists and spreading this information and indeed he's clearly supporting the propaganda of the n.t. and.
