a low. for the senate. for the court. for the country exceptionally qualified. and among the week's top stories the west heads out and russia's g.r.u. military intelligence service exposing alleged campaign of global cyber attacks. a very warm welcome you're watching the weekend here on r.t. international good to have you with us as our top story russia's undefeated m.m.a. fight to have beaten him a government of has defended his u.f.c. lightweight title beating islands called the macgregor but the event was mauled by a mass brawl at the end sports correspondent. reports from the russian champs hometown.

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 slight. i. 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 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 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 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. leila's.

you build a couple like chickens or do you think about these they. could . move so much like location location that i was in my. boat. to get the money that will pull the rug and she can do all that. for me for the fight for the title for the main event you know for me because.

no one slept tonight but you can expect that nobody will sleep here even today the party is on right now just on yes. the reporting from much in dagestan republic. now the government you have apologized afterwards saying he didn't show his best side by starting the brawl the incident is being investigated and could see despite disciplinary action with the possibility of the champion being stripped of his title mcgregor though didn't appear to hold a grudge cheapos did a tweet saying good knock looking forward to the rematch. but cavanagh has been sworn in as a u.s. supremes court justice by one of the narrowest of margins in the country's history as hundreds of people protested on capitol hill at his nomination after a sexual assault allegations against him senators who took the floor to state their

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

exceptionally qualified. 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 the powerful and the elite confirming went off to the supreme court before the road and undermined the court's legitimacy and continued to diminish the american people's trust in it. i've been i've got. police arrested more than one hundred fifty demonstrators on the steps of the rest house in washington on. some protesters continually both of those from my house and from the senate gallery and the sad u.s. vice president might have to ask for a dozen times. sergeant at arms will restore order in the gallery.

sharjah arms will restore order in the good. order and the good. from past announced time democrats conducted themselves by likening that actions to mull proof my colleague neil harvey discussed the issue with scotty no he has evening news host she thinks confidence confirmation highlights the deep splits in america ahead of november's midterm elections. with a pullback and said 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 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 going to push the confirmation for do you think we can equate support for. support for trouble 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 for 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 a 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 until they're they just have a common that has left the us basically divided some have been finding a way to make the best of it. supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh brett kavanaugh cavanagh church and dr christine logic board could use this cavanagh of sexually assaulting her when the two were both and. i drank beer apart from almost everyone do i like you. i still like.

early this week russia found itself confronted over the alleged activities of his military intelligence service the g.r.u. a number of western countries and international organizations called out most go for waging a campaign of some of the tricks aussies done in hawkins 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 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 u.s. with four of them also accused the involvement in the netherlands o.p.c. w. hat 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 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 attacks on the very organization the international organization in the netherlands set up to in. the chilcot types and why would you do that if you were the guilty party and as we've seen before there's no need to me tell you 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 there 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 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 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 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 to malign

activities by russians secret service is also goes trolls have apparently now turned their sights on hollywood and particularly the star wars franchise expect. 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 star wars 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 millions of voices suddenly cried out into something besides just 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 done so much so that my eldest 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. it wasn't disney not even the director it was the damn.

lemon results of voting in bosnia and herzegovina so that serbia nationalist candidate miller i doubt it has won about 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 the taliban cannot when their choices are to reconcile live in a relevance. you have the taliban willing to come to the negotiating table there's

no talking to the. when 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. 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 moscow conference we are waiting for addict and then 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. . scottish national party leader nicholas sturgeon has revealed she will announce her plans over a fresh independence vote as soon as two reason may finally figures out a break does it deal with the. that anybody likes it or not the future you key

militia in ship 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 what i mean just to be crystal clear about the end of this phase of negotiations. a september poll suggests if briggs it goes as planned more scots now back independence than to stay part of the u.k. it comes amid growing concerns over the braggs it turns out where that would leave scotland earlier may insisted that now is not the time to discuss another independence vote as the focus should be on working together on the brags that talks over one hundred thousand pro independence protesters hit the streets of the scottish capital on saturday demanding a fresh vote demonstrators hold on leaders to set a date for a new referendum after the previous post now leaves that just a 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. pose i mean very coarse and probably out

on the fifty fifty mark however clearly the momentum is with those who support independence and the huge demonstrations but one hundred fifty thousand people who took part shows what caned of activists be there exists to promote the cause of independence in the country if scotland votes to meet and save the e.u. . for example ends up with a new deal scenario then there must be a definite in them because that would likely send probably the deepest constitutional crisis in modern history and therefore there's a real i think on the tory government 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. supporters of brazil's right wing presidential candidate jaya both in our own have taken to the streets in to protest election fraud as all of the front runner failed to win the

presidency out right as he fell short of the required majority of the vote. that was. the overview oh. yes well yes. but i think that's it i feel pain and anguish because i know we didn't have a truly democratic elections. if there is a second round i'll feel frustrated and one hundred percent sure that there was fraud. fernando had done to the left when workers party candidate came in second place with twenty nine percent to paulson arias forty six percent but two will have to face off again at the end of october is viewed by many as a controversial figure has frequently raised eyebrows due to his controversial rhetoric. it was.

just really is a very good. start would you. be real growth paulson or is rough and tumble remarks have exposed in deep and divisions in brazilian society ahead of the election thousands protested his candidacy in cities across the country. now a car accident in new york state is being described by officials as the deadliest in the u.s. in nearly a decade the accident happened on saturday in the car park of a shopping center a two thousand and one ford excursion limousine drove through a stop sign at an intersection colliding with the parked has to be two pedestrians were killed as well as all eighteen people traveling in the limo it's unknown if any of the passengers were wearing safety belts one witness said the crash sounded like an explosion new york's governor has expressed his sympathy for the victims as

well as praising the actions of the emergency responders. well those are the headlines for this hour thank you for joining us on r.t. international here with all the latest my colleague rory sushi will be with you thirty minutes. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president one should. want to. have to going to be close with what will befall three of them or ten people that

i'm interested always in the waters in the house. or city hall. believe that. this is crude oil. so they need to actually physically hold it out of the ground he would have well well well well well. there's a lot of money with the oil and with that comes. a lot of a lot of people from all over the country. if you don't make a hundred thousand dollars a year. as a minimum there's an issue. here in the. they were told sixty dollars a day it's hard work for the workers not these work ok and so they want to really

have their stress and how do they relieve their stress these and then you move back out like he's the man that comfort these men that. people have been murdered up here people been raped they're massive drug issues up here you have a boom you have everything else that comes along with money.
