the biggest fight in u.f.c. history. his title against. the report. we thank you protests on this rope sins of the confirmation. sworn in as the u.s. justice divisions not only within the senate but the entire country. confirmation. for the senate. for the court.

for the country exceptionally. long stories making the week that was the west russia's g.r.u. military intelligence service exposing in a campaign of global cyber attacks. good evening and thanks for joining us you're watching the weekly here on r.t. international. undefeated to. be but no my god made of has defended his u.f.c. light weight title. mcgregor but the event was marred by a brawl at the end of the fight. reports from the russian.

absolute scenes in my house because she needed to keep learning you know a little while 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 slice. it was pretty loud 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 august 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 which 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 the corner 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 steam 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 about he said as a clean deserved winner that speaks volumes about you know the heat and the control of the cia around that fight. airline.

to topple just like chicken what do you think of all these guys. i'm here to send a message like location location and then i come on doesn't matter. very much both of you. will get the money that sony pulled the rug and she can enjoy life that is for me more than fight for the more

they're made even for me personally. no one slept tonight but you can expect that nobody will sleep here even today the party is on right now just on yes. i. like the reporting from much i live in dagestan republic. might have heard of apologized after the fight saying he didn't show his best side by starting that prove the incidents being investigated it could see disciplinary action with the possibility of the champion actually being stripped of his title macgregor though didn't appear to hold a grudge and posted a tweet after saying good not looking forward to the rematch. brett kavanaugh has been sworn in as a u.s. supreme court justice by one of the narrowest margins in the country's history that's as hundreds of people protested on capitol hill it is on nomination duty sexual assault allegations against him senators who took the floor to state their

feelings demonstrated the clear divide in the country. when the history of the senate is written this chapter will be a flashing warning light what to avoid. truly. kavanagh's confirmation is a low moment. for the. country. i just. don't see how we can put somebody on the supreme court. thinks that the president is above the law to very least we should expect a nominee for. i do not believe judge kavanaugh has met the standard he puts his thumb on the scales of justice in all ways with a bias towards corporate interests i knew him as an honest and dedicated public servant i was proud to be.

exceptionally. i do not see an open mind i do not see fairness i see a partisan ideologues who will do traditional backflips to rule in favor of large corporations powerful and the elite confirming. to the supreme court. and undermine the court's legitimacy and continue to diminish the american people's trust in it. i'm. place arrested more than one hundred fifty demonstrators on the steps of the u.s. capitol in washington today some protesters. still voting by shouting from the senate gallery and to chair this vice president. order more than a dozen times. sergeant at arms will

restore order in the gallery. sergeant in arms will restore order in the. restore order in the. long term has denounced how democrats conducted themselves by likening their actions to rule. because evening news host she thinks that kevin is confirmation highlights the deep splits in america head of november's midterm. brail 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 move men happening on the other hand in the end people who needed to make sure that 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. 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 so there's no sort of i like him but i don't support the policy 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 cabinet 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. with the bitter dispute over calvin all that's been dividing the us some have been getting a little shitty. supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh brett kavanaugh cavanagh and dr christine block before a pool cues this cavanagh of sexually assaulting her when the two were both in high school. i drank beer with my friends almost everyone i liked. i still like.

earlier this week found itself confronted with the alleged activities of its military intelligence service the g.r.u. a number of western countries and international organizations called out moscow for waging a campaign of so-called dirty cyber tricks on the hawkin's breaks down the details . 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 flout international law in this way russia's indiscriminate campaign of cyber attacks at 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 u.s. 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 is certainly kept busy according to the latest allegations how can the malaysia airlines probe the o.p.c. w solsbury poising investigation and you don't get agencies from canada to brazil the u.s. 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 a cyber attack on the very organization the international organization in the netherlands set up to investigate those novacek attacks and why would you do that if you were the guilty party and as we've seen before there is 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 low such luxury what rushes in the dock they're almost certain and 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 the normal rational people would say well why would they be saying these things unless they had some purpose and might i think it by throwing out individual names for example this sort of concretized is that 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 a narrative which is important and the russians you know you bogeyman is becoming firmly embedded in public mindset. and it's not just about alleged

malign activities by russia's secret services moscow's trolls have apparently now turned their sights on hollywood and in particular the star wars franchise and if you're trying to pick up a story. 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 gen don 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. mark a very disturbing it wasn't disney not even the director it was the damn room skis. and seven elections underway in bosnia and herzegovina we'll have the details

and other stories from the week after this break. unfortunately the united nations security council in its approach to yemen is only to listen to the speeches in boise reports every month or two months and then the representatives will mix their own i mean the minute to be presented to the

security council will make their statements which are always ready to. be. a special envoy for afghanistan zalmai is on a visit to the middle east in a bid to quote bring the taliban to the negotiating table however they don't seem especially willing to accept the offer r.t. was granted access to a taliban commander and asked him about the proposal. that 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. and heard the suggestion of direct talks between the taliban and washington

came from the u.s. state department last 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 tied 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 toward the 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 un report covering civilian casualties in battles between the coalition and taliban forces. that are. going

to to go. you know. america's 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 turn the moscow conference we're waiting for addict and then agenda then we will decide 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 corder r t. national party leader nicholas sturgeon has revealed that she will announce her plans of a fresh independence photo soon as treason may finally figures out

a briggs's deal with the european union that anybody likes it or not the future in new york e relationship is the context in which scotland would decide that question of independence could be later this month it could be november it could be december but that's that's what i mean just to be crystal clear at the end of this phase of . a september poll suggests that if briggs it goes as planned more scots now back independence than they do to stay part of the united kingdom this comes amid growing concern over the brig's it terms and where that would leave scotland earlier insisted that now is not the time to discuss nother independence voters the focus should be on working together briggs talks one hundred thousand pro independence protesters hit the streets of the scottish capital today they were demanding a fresh vote demonstrators called on leaders to set a date for a new referendum after the previous focus narrowly back to stay part of the u.k. jonathan shafi from the radical independence campaign told us the momentum is now

with those who want to split from london. i mean very close and probably our own the fifty fifty mark however clearly the momentum is with those who support independence and the huge demonstrations but hundred fifty thousand people who took part shows what caned of activist base there exists to promote the cause of their communities and country if scotland votes to demean and save the e.u. and britain for example ends up with a new deal scenario then there must be a definite in them because that would lead to say probably the deepest constitutional crisis in modern history and therefore there's a real i think on the tory government to and somewhere just this question they're not doing that they're not going to do that and therefore the pressure is going to build the scottish and in the scottish question. polling stations across bosnia and herzegovina have closed in the balkan states general election votes widely seen as a test on whether the country will move towards integration with the european union

and nato or remain unchanged in war era ethnic rivalries when three million people were eligible to vote and just a few hours before the polls closed turnout was but it almost forty percent the first results are expected later tonight in an election process that has been branded the most complex in the world. let's go living in the small nation of bosnia and herzegovina 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 until you delve into the complexities of its institutional set up. there with me nothing's ever simple when it comes to bosnia and herzegovina the

country with three of these three predominant religion. i mean even the warning labels on their cigarette packets come in three languages. let's go back a couple of decades. year after this jude 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 not sure which stopped the newly formed country the visions lingered on gave rise to this heading the political system. split into two autonomous regions as the larger federation of bosniaks croats and then what's known as the serb republic each entity has its own government

parliament and police have been looking 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 rotate what is known as the really chairperson told you it was complex. that wraps things up for this news hour join me for the latest in half an hour. max keiser financial survival guide stacey let's learn a salad fill out let's say i'm not so i get any earthly trunk response thanks for the fight well street spot thank you for taking.
