on the program. only within the. country.

exceptionally. and among the stories making. the world including on the international chemical weapons. stories of the day the main headlines of the week the weekly. rushers undefeated m.m.a. fighter. has defended his u.f.c. lightweight title ultimately beating irish. sport correspondent reports from the russian.

absolute scenes in my concrete ocean you had to keep learning you know a little out of this guy says how the money out of it is still the champion of u.s.c. and these people are going absolutely bonkers right. but. it's important to know that most of these legal did not sleep tonight and they were waiting for the slight. i. was pretty loud at that i have to say out in the streets celebrating for many it has been not only a sleepless night but probably a sleepless week because the broadcast from last vegas started at five o'clock in the morning and many packed the cinema which was the main venue for broadcasting this event as early as two at three am in the morning.

when it comes to the fight itself it was absolutely incredible how calm and collected. are going to have had been through that fight and he won absolutely deserve victory in the fourth round after a choke on going to mcgregor was the most anticipated fight probably in the u.f.c. twenty five year long history a lot of controversy before the fight a lot of control over c. after the fight apparently a scuffle between members of steam and mcgregor's team happened right after the bell right off claimed a clear and just a victory but interestingly enough he walked off the ring before even being able to raise the belt above he said as a clean deserved winner that speaks volumes about you know the heat and the control of the cia around that fight. a layer.

beginning on the top of the light seeking what do you think it will these days. sergeant at arms will restore order in the gallery. the sergeant in arms will restore order in the gallery. sergeant in arms will restore order in the gallery donald trump has denounced how democrats conducted themselves by likening their actions to mob rule while my colleague neil harvey earlier discussed the issue with scotty nail hughes auti america's evening news host she things that haven't always confirmation highlights the deep split in america right ahead of november's midterm elections. braver to pull back and say no facts matter we actually need to see what we have hard evidence on that might hurt long term the women's movement here in the united states as many women were supporting the supporting the accuser just because they felt like accusers had not

been heard recently in the united states this is one year to the day of the need to movement happening on the other hand in the end people as needed to make sure there was evidence and i think that's the reason why you saw so many g.o.p. senators who were might have been wavering actually go on and push the confirmation for do you think we can equate support for trumps my support for trump himself they're going to try to whether that's true or not it's up to everybody i don't think this issue has won people over to cross over the lines and either before or against president trump it just shows how deeply divided america is right now and that's very interesting four weeks out from a midterm election for president trump everything right now is for or against president trump there's no sort of i like him but i don't support the cause and it is truly a very partisan divided country and unfortunately as has come out recently a lot of the issues that came out this over the kavanaugh has been because of the media and the dishonest media here in the united states that we're showing on both sides putting out allegations that kind of show they had more of an agenda than

just reporting the facts. this week russia found itself confronted over the alleged activities of its military intelligence service a number of western countries and international organizations called out moscow for doty cyber tricks has done you a whole can now report. election interference troll factories this information man hacking we've heard most of it before but the latest charge sheet against russia is all encompassing and endless there were hundreds of victims targeted by these russian criminals if they flowers international law in this way russia's indiscriminate campaign of cyber attacks the violations of several u.s. criminal laws they will be exposed russia must stop reckless and irresponsible behavior of russian government needs to know they want to fully condemn this attack it will be exposed and it will be consequences it seems every accusation of malign

activity over the last four years from the downing of m.h. seven team to the water doping scandal has come back all at once united under a common name and symbol before it was often vague russian hackers agents or just putin but apparently we can now name the entity responsible for everything all along the g r u russian military intelligence even specific names and faces have been linked with the alleged crimes seven individuals were indicted by the us with four of them also accused the involvement in the netherlands o.p.c. w hack and three war already featured in robert mueller is continuing russia meddling probe this group of just sixteen people has certainly kept busy according to the latest allegations how can the malaysia airlines probe the o.p.c. w solsbury poising investigation and he don't get agencies from canada to brazil the us election you name it the hand of the g.r.u.

is never far away and according to some the allegations are irrefutable proof of russia's guilt in all other incidents here you have evidence of the russian military launching attacks on the very organization the international organization in the netherlands set up to in. why would you do that if you were the guilty party and as we've seen before there's no need to meet any real standards of evidence remember when the n.s.a. was accused of spying on charts of the merkel back in twenty fifteen well the german federal prosecutor in the system had a legal burden of proof to be met to prove this no such luxury what rushes in the dock they're almost certain high confidence from u.k. security services are enough to beat the drum for new sanctions and anyway the soviet era k.g.b. is long gone the image of public enemy number one is long overdue for an overhaul and this is the perfect opportunity to consolidate the perfect storm chemical

weapons got a lecture meddling it's got doping it's got every other thing you can think of that the russians are guilty of and i think this cloud of accusations is its own purpose even though normal rational people would say well why would they be saying these things unless they had some purpose in mind i think by throwing out individual names for example this sort of concretized as if somehow it makes it look like there really is evidence behind how hard is it for western intelligence services to get the names and job descriptions of various officials in the g.r.u. or any other government agency so i think that's what they're doing but it makes it sound like there's something behind it we may not know the whole truth all which side is hiding something but it's image narrative which is important and the russians you know you bogeyman is becoming firmly embedded in public mindset. not just the russian military that's having accusations flying at it apparently

russian trolls are now turning fans against the classic star wars films believe that or not we'll give you details just a bit later in the. but for now you're not see us special representative zalmay khalilzad is on a. trip to the middle east to quote coordinate and lead u.s. efforts to bring the taliban to the negotiating table however it doesn't look like they are willing to accept the offer especially considering the increasing control the group is exerting on the ground there watty was granted access to one taliban commander and we raised the subject. over the americans never want to cooperate with the taliban and the taliban has never asked the americans again to cooperate against islamic state the americans are bombing us while we fight i saw the latest suggestion of direct talks between the taliban and washington came from the u.s. state department on friday. this is ministration has made it clear that it is prepared to engage with and participate in the go with both the taliban and the

afghan government and if the leadership of the taliban doesn't want to negotiate with the americans there's never wanted this and the leadership of the taliban never gave permission to any member to negotiate on their behalf u.s. defense secretary james mattis had a meet and greet with the afghan president in kabul they finally decided to play nice in a bid to get the taliban down to talks but just one day before their words of peace washington dropped a big f. thirty five b. bomb on the taliban looks like the peace process is getting off on the right foot especially when the u.s. has for years led up to this moment promising both talk and terror i want to reinforce to the taliban that the only path to peace and political legitimacy for them is through a negotiated settlement to the taliban when their choices are to reconcile living a relevance. to have the taliban willing to come to the negotiating table this is

no talking to the taliban we don't want to talk to the taliban we're going to finish what we have to finish so it's no surprise the taliban is reluctant to trust promises of peace and why would they seek it anyway in the past several months the taliban has made substantial territorial gains their spring offensive took coalition forces completely off guard seizing regions all over afghanistan over one hundred soldiers and police officers were killed in just one week of the offensive and that's not even counting last week's u.n. report covering civilian casualties in battles between the coalition and taliban forces. are. going to to go. you know. in the.

americas two thousand and one invasion of afghanistan hoped to oust the taliban from power but what materialized it was a seventeen year long war the longest conflict in u.s. history and now fast approaching are monumental peace talks to be held in moscow between the taliban and the afghan government we can confirm but we will attend the most of the conference we're waiting for a date and an agenda then we would assume what can be achieved from the conference if successful these talks could mark a step forward in a conflict that currently has no end in sight donald quarter r.t. well the united states could end up slapping india with sanctions after new delhi this week signed an arms deal with russia to get the s. four hundred missile defense system i will give you details on that in just a moment.

they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. the president.

wanted to be. before. more people. interested in the water power. thanks. for the not satisfied with allegedly disrupting the u.s. elections and twenty sixteen trolls. on hollywood and the star wars franchise in particular. hey america they stole your election hey britain they stole your dream of a united europe democracy will never be the same because of russian memes thralls boughts well surely there is something still sacred in western culture are

off limits to the russians. oh no the kremlin folks even got their hands on star wars russian trolls weaponized style was criticism as an instrument for information warfare with the purpose of pushing for political change this was from a real study by a brave jet i call or i mean who claims there's been a force that was fighting to make the last jet i fail wow thirty seven pages remember how the movie got booed at when those need fans couldn't forgive the director for spoiler alert killing luke skywalker and forgive him for going against all the tropes so dearly cherished by the fandom remember how the star wars lovers army even campaign to fund

a remake well now you know who did it the sitz sorry the russians had a great disturbance in the force as if millions of doses suddenly cried out into the sun his sons to prove it the guy behind the research analyzed almost a thousand online messages for the director and his result was more than half of the hate tweets came from trolls some of them were russian. the director didn't just pay attention he shared the link to the study with his twitter followers. looking forward to reading it but what the top line describes is consistent with my experience online well some vans got even more disgruntled when they said they found their own tweets in the research it was a bad movie highly unlikely that it was a dry run for bots to practice we hated this film too loved rogue one but were

totally underwhelmed by the last time so much so that my oldest questioned if it is worth going to the cinema to see any more disney star wars so it did nothing to make me change my mind. if. it wasn't disney not even the director it was the damn. polls are open in bosnia and herzegovina for the balkan states general election vote is widely seen as a test on whether the country will move towards integration with the european union and nato or remain entrenched in a war ethnic rivalries or than three million people are eligible to vote today electing governing members of a political system that's been branded the most complex in the world. let's go living in the small nation of bosnia and herzegovina the young unemployed and

hoping for change. so you drag yourself to the voting booths that you confronted with what is possibly the longest ballot ever. for a country of just three and a half million this makes little sense. to the complexities of its institutional set up. there with me nothing is ever simple when it comes to bosnia and herzegovina the country with these three religions i mean even the warning labels on the cigarette butt. come in three languages. let's go back a couple of decades. year after this june hit the airwaves yugoslavia collapsed following years of ethnic and political tensions. that led to years of war the deaths of over one hundred thousand people

and a nato bombing campaign. in the process bosnia and herzegovina declared independence in one thousand nine hundred five. the new country visions lingered on gave rise to this heading the political system. split into two autonomous regions as the larger federation of bosniaks and croats and then what's known as the serb republic each entity has its own government parliament and police overlooking this chaos is a central government with a national parliament the rotating presidency you see there isn't just one head of state there are three. three. each at this it has its own elected president the trio affected by to make one head of state they will take what is known as the really chairperson told you it was complex. for india and

russia have signed a five billion dollars deal with moscow to deliver that of five s. four hundred defense systems. the s four hundred is russia's mobile missile defense system it is one of the world's most sophisticated surface to air weapons of the system has a range of four hundred kilometers and can reportedly shoot up to eighty targets at the same time and india is not by any stretch of the imagination the only country that wants to get its hands on the s four hundred for instance china and turkey have also signed a deal for the russian system qatar saudi arabia and iraq are all expressing

interest though on a broader scope the u.s. has actually threatened sanctions against any country buying the russian weapons in general. ati's you could have gone off reports from new delhi it's not about just india expanding its defensive capabilities against it its regional rivals like pakistan or china for example it is also india sending a very strong political message because every time any country really shows interest or indeed by using a russian weapon in an advanced russian weapon washington while it falls flat with washington for example when china bought the very same and to missile defense system which india has now ports and some fighter jets to go with it russia it was slapped with sanctions and now india is defying this potential threat even though washington for example one pentagon general has said that while indeed sanctions are on the table it is ultimately up to donald trump eventually it will be donald

trump's call whether or not to punish india for what it's doing and we do that with india is no exception in terms of the pressure being exerted on them and at the end of the day it will all depend on how resilient o'kelly exult in the face of this pressure and if i was to list everything that the two leaders of all discussed from nuclear corporation to agriculture to space and so on and so forth could easily take the rest of the day and also a very warm very cordial atmosphere between believe is. good. so really it's interesting while russia and india are doing business it's fair to say that the

ball is in washington's court and your weekly returns at the top of the hour. this is. the church secret indeed priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it would literally like to call this to do graphic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot were the previous standards not the highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that end of that's known as the i intend to include at tuesday's out in the.

case furthest from. us a sign of playing to this idea of the us dollar reserve currency empire they've built over a post world war two hero for everyone gets the death of america and pays homage to america china russia iran africa become a member are saying now we want markopolos up even examples markopolos up we wanted for it we wanted to trade directly bilaterally we don't want to be part of the globalization any more. are.

on the welcome to worlds apart. women's rights have long been a bargaining chip for all titians but perhaps nowhere with such devastating consequences as in iraq half a century after the constitution granted the iraqi women equal rights they face increasing pressure on how to dress what to do with their lives and when to marry their daughters off as the effort to democratize iraq resulted in the further subjugation of its women well to discuss that i'm now joined by hama at war a prominent iraqi human rights activist and founder of the amal association madame ad words good to talk to you thank you very much for your time. thank you now first of all let me ask you about the latest political development in your country five months after the national elections the major political factions have finally

managed to agree on the three main posts in the country is that a positive development as far as you're concerned oh yes thank you you know we were waiting for this in the action. we have seen that there is out of this elections which as you know get you know.
