seems to be an extreme polarization in the country between those who support donald trump and those who oppose him and it seems that this division is being asked a late it was some taking it well beyond arguments and to physical confrontations. film attack says that republican official john griffin believes there's a growing law of mentality fueled by a significant partisan divide. this is a mob rule mentality and this is what has been encouraged by democrat leaders and it's certainly not consistent with the democratic process the democrats have ceased being able to defend their own ideas in fact many of them don't know what those ideas are they change from minute to minute from second to second depending on
4:04 pm
whatever whim or sense of emotional outrage they feel and this is stoked and fanned by people who know better in washington and it's very dangerous there are people like me and others who are engaging in community the form of community pushback with forums and with models of civil dialogue and that is a trend i would like to see encouraged modeling what civil discourse looks like again for the younger generations i don't keer how controversy old a subjective term someone's views may be very u.s. senator they should be given at least their space. c.c.t.v. footage has a message showing the journalist who vanished after entering the site of the consulate and the pictures shows jamal khashoggi assad he said so and a critic of the country's royal family walking into riyadh consulate in istanbul
4:05 pm
a week ago has not been seen since turkish authorities pointed the finger at the site of government suggesting a fifteen month a hit squad may have been sent from the kingdom to the to the reporter riyadh denies allegations. on tuesday sidey authorities granted permission for turkey to search the consulate and cry has launched an investigation into his disappearance fifty nine year old cars shocking a left side of a pit for the u.s. last year. he wrote for the washington post and had his own column critical of the saudi regime to show he was visiting the consulate to obtain wedding documents donald trump says he will question the ad on the. prison. but i will be. at some point when i know nothing really to know what everybody else knows now the issue though is wearing growing numbers of politicians on capitol hill a number of u.s. senators have already blamed saudi arabia for the incident and denounced america's
4:06 pm
relations with riyadh this is outrageous that he's been somehow disappeared the administration needs to demand his release and subsequently inacceptable and a further sign that this crackdown on free speech is getting more serious we should probably be rethinking the political and military blank check we bring giving this saudis us presidents have a lot of weight they can get answers if they want is seems to me very strange because the u.s. never kids so what human rights in saudi arabia they would they would get about the saudis doing it for example but there is much more than meets the eye here it is something. we should watch from the saudis and. russia. but. the state department spokesperson had an hour it was grilled by reporters over the delay in an official response to the disturbing incident. it was
4:07 pm
nearly a week between his first reports of his disappearance and that statement from secretary pompei oh why was there such a delay between between those two so are you assuming that taking time to put out a statement means that the state department has not been doing anything is that your assumption of what was the state department doing for the state department was engaged to at the highest levels and also at the working level and having conversations with saudi government officials and i'll leave it at that and so what was the reason behind that delay in statement i mean i wouldn't i wouldn't call it a delay the u.k. the foreign secretary has said that that if the reports are correct well we will we will treat the incident seriously no one doubts why can't sex or why has not secretary pump aoe said that if the reports are true and the saudis our allies turn out to be cold blooded killers that there will be repercussions i think that would be entirely
4:08 pm
a hypothetical question and so if the brits decide they want to comment that way they're more than welcome to do so but we're going to wait until the facts come out and we call again for a thorough and transparent investigation or be repercussions i'm not going to get ahead or assume that anything happened we're calling for a thorough and transparent investigation. the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley is stepping down or has washington correspondents where a call with the details. well nikki haley thanked trump for the honor of a lifetime serving as ambassador trump accepted her resignation and said that he'd announce her successor in a matter of two to three weeks and he also hopes that she'll come back to serve the administration in a different capacity let's check out what they both had to say she told me probably six months ago she said you know maybe at the end of the year the end of a two year period at the end of the year i want to take a little time off or i would take a little break no i'm not running for twenty twenty and i can promise you what i'll be doing is campaigning for this one so i look forward to supporting the president
4:09 pm
in the next election so thank you nikki haley has been embassador to the u.n. since january of two thousand and seventeen and she leaves at a very inopportune time just as disagreements are brewing between trump and other world leaders and this was made obvious at this year's u.n. general assembly when world leaders laughed at trump during his speech and even then haley tried to defend him in less than two years my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country. america hears so true i. didn't expect that reaction but that's. when he said that they love how honest he is and it's not defined magic and they find it funny i mean when he goes and he is very truthful they kind of are taken back by it now for
4:10 pm
something to think about on monday a government watchdog called for an investigation into whether or not nikki haley violated federal ethics regulations by accepting free private flights this was acknowledged by nikki haley in her twenty seventeen public financial disclosures as saying that she was friends with the c.e.o.'s of those private jet companies that's what everyone's talking about so it looks like she'll be serving as you want to. ask her until the end of this year so what does have to see who replaces her in this highly coveted position. the syrian president has made an amnesty offer to desert as in the country amid fears of a prison term for dodging military service the syrian reconciliation ministry says it expects tens of thousands to accept the amnesty moscow's foreign minister called it a positive thing. this is a step towards national reconciliation creating acceptable conditions for refugees
4:11 pm
who want to come back to syria and internally displaced citizens we actively encourage this commitment by the syrian leadership. the syrian war is in its eight year the only remaining rebel stronghold is around ninety thousand rebels along with twenty thousand al nusra fighters live among three million civilians in the province while going to discuss this further now with mark director of. a think tank focusing on syria and the middle east welcome to the program and are now firstly let's start with your opinion of that offer of an amnesty by the syrian president. you know well this has been on the cards for a while now. the circles of the refugees for example in neighboring countries say devon and jordan and so on have been actually asking and demanding with the president would have all of the syrian state would offer full amnesty it came out today has deserved this from the army so sort of partial history but still it's
4:12 pm
a very good step in the right direction to want to have peace but give confidence to those refugees who are looking for a way to go back to syria without having to deal with all sorts of legal issues or you know with the fear of somebody throwing the book at them and taking them forty songs off or so it must be a welcome step amongst their ranks there are also the militants indeed live who might be thinking well then we have life for months to decide whether we want to lay down our weapons and do some something about reconciliation or we want to hold back and see how the political process goes so they are now put. you know in front of a choice. that they had this were in that way so it changed the dynamics of just be so for yeah i mean this was the worry was no that they would be facing
4:13 pm
a prison sentence now those who turned themselves in they were they they've been promised they won't have to do that but they might still have to fulfill the mandatory two years' service. you know is that not enough to deter some of those. well there is a whole sort of a whole lot of discussion about who some people don't have an issue with doing military service a lot of the syrian refugees who were probably three four years ago were expecting this state to crumble and didn't want to participate in anything. is they fled the country and so on now everybody is sort of knows that this has been really. you know leading to nowhere and they would like to bridge back gaps between them and the state and the rest of the community in syria so you have two kinds of people those who are like they've never done military service before. young people
4:14 pm
might say ok i can do it what could happen the hostilities have receded a lot there aren't many battles as it used to be the case like a year and a half ago and i'm backwards so i could actually do it and then you have the reservists who have actually or at some point in their lives did their military service and they've been called into reserves and these usually have like families and they would be worried where to or how to feed their families whilst going back to military service or at least part of the people would be reluctant or if they were reluctant and their reluctance was east today. but this tells you also that the syrian state is using the tools at its disposal to make headway. in terms of the reconsideration effort progress and we conciliation regardless of what is happening in geneva or you know the u. n. brew could sort of. or mediated sort of process it is making progress with its own
4:15 pm
citizens. and this is putting pressure on certain also. opposition forces to come up with some plan or some you know bridging. gaps or some leeway in a sense otherwise they'll just miss the whole bandwagon there we're going to see how effective that is tens of thousands of people potentially going back director of got us a print button think tank that focuses on the crisis in syria and the middle east thanks for coming on to the program. thank you very much. controversial web site telling cat claims it has identified the second suspect linked by britain to the poisoning of a former russian spy and his daughter however the presented facts raise a number of questions r.t. correspondent allison and i have been following the palin cat news conference in
4:16 pm
london. not only has this whole story been creating diplomatic rows of course as we've seen unraveling throughout the last couple of months but certainly now among journalists here on the ground following this conference where these latest revelations that have had to present had a ravelled where journalists were confronting each other about opinions and certainly quite a media frenzy about these latest announcements and in terms of what specifically dell inc out how to present the said that they have identified through social media . who the man who has been described as the second suspect in this case he was initially presented as alexander patrol belling cat say his real name is alexander miskin the see he is a medical doctor who was recruited by the g.r.u. before two thousand and three and was taken to moscow by the year twenty ten they say he was involved in visiting ukraine and in terms of identifying who they were there were quite a few loopholes and certainly lots of questions here from journalists follow ups to
4:17 pm
what they had to say one of the things that were curious is they said. their first so-called you recall moment as they describe it was when the name alexander came into the spotlight and then they tried to find a man who was born on the same day and the same name but of course you know that is a very very very common name so they had to connect those dogs by trying to find after finding one person with the same details trying to find a possible or photo or some kind of i.d. they said that basically when they did find something according to bell and caps they couldn't really see exactly where they hit lock but we did get a copy of the document they said that this man had been honored with hero of russia by the president putin himself however when it was asked for some kind of proof of this they talked about some kind of granny who lived in the village where this character was supposedly. and one person they had found via social media had
4:18 pm
thought told them that this granny had showed the entire village where she lives a photo of this man being granted that honor by the russian president and when asked whether or not they were actually at least able to directly contact her they said she had vanished when they announced their events so certainly quite a few of of these questions despite all of the headlines that these allegations have been making the russian embassy here in the u.k. have said that they have essentially been told by the foreign office that this is all part of freedom of public debate and that the u.k. government does not comment and we've also heard from official moscow say that they are essentially at this point tired of any leaks and speculations being made on all sides of the media and what they would like is official channels to cooperate on this matter let's take a look. christiane at some of the nature. of
4:19 pm
the terms you know confinement render strangers and violence they face unless they truly an absolutely believe this is who they are some people preach do not believe and do not agree with that and some people say this gender. that the men no women are lesbians so homosexuals in the street people it's really important and it's not a big deal it's not a huge concession to give trans people the dignity and respect to refer to them in their correct agenda now you can you may disagree with that but i think you should show the basic sort of courtesy is just about being a civil kind compassionate person. for the news now i'll be back at the top of the hour with the first. time for a documentary between walls inside the trees. i've
4:20 pm
been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamped each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent from august last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember in one one business show you can
4:21 pm
afford to miss the one and only. this is crude oil. so they need to actually physically hold it out of the ground you would have well well well well well. there's a lot of money with your 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 neal. they were all sixteen hours a day hard work for oil workers not used to work and so they want to relieve their stress of how do they relieve their stress these men moved back out like he's
4:22 pm
a man of that comfort these many. people have been murdered up here people been raped there are massive drug issues up here you have a boom you have everything else that comes along with money. you know world's big partners move a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made history media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath 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 watching closely watching the hawks. when a loved one is murdered it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would
4:23 pm
prefer it be newlin the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying and those just new leaders hasn't been that we want even many of the dems families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in saying. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way.
