interstate transportation an explosive illegal mailing of explosives threats against former presidents and certain other persons threatening interstate communications and assaulting current and former federal officers for these charges the defendant faces up to fifty eight years in prison let's speak because he's capable pain in new york tale of quite a lengthy press conference that a lot of developments just bring us up to speed what ward to be know after that. well we heard from the u.s. attorney general jeff sessions we also heard from the f.b.i. christopher ray the f.b.i. director and at this point we're getting kind of a picture of the individual the suspect who has been arrested and charged apparently for these bombings now the individual was a trump supporter he lived in a van and on that van he had pro trump bumper stickers now furthermore he did have

a criminal record a previous criminal record he apparently been arrested for grand theft auto done time in prison and on top of that if he is convicted for actually sending these bombs through the mail he would then face fifty eight years in prison now that's the information that we have now prior to the justice department we also heard from the u.s. president he was very congratulatory toward the law enforcement agencies congratulating them on very quickly apprehending the individual they believe is responsible for sending these packages containing explosives this is donald trump congratulating the f.b.i. and the police forces working we will prosecute them him her whoever it may be to the fullest extent of the law. we must never allow political violence to take root in america cannot let it happen

and i'm committed to doing everything in my power as president to stop it. now all across the political spectrum we've heard widespread denunciation of this act people are saying that political violence is simply unacceptable and that they sending of explosives and mail bombs to politicians to top democratic party leaders to c.n.n. that is simply unacceptable and has no place in american politics now other people are linking it to the fact that there seems to be an increased divide among americans poll results are showing that americans are more divided and polarized than they have been in many years there's intense divisions between americans how they view the current administration how they views various issues eight out of ten americans actually says that this point the united states is quote greatly divided however the president the united states many democratic leaders were very adamant that this kind of violence has no place in american politics and there have been

widespread calls for unity for americans to be more united in the face of this kind of political violence which is being described as terrorism. with the latest from new york thanks for that kind of. well to other news now relations between china and japan or the historic turning point not secluding to the country's prime minister who was speaking at a summit with the chinese leader is the first visit to the country by a japanese president full bottle to see ninety seven years become a full follows a long period of total real disputes in a printer now takes a look at what's led to that change. the japanese prime minister is in china and he's smiling. that was him with the chinese premier who was smiling too. so was of course these kind of guys put up a happy face for the cameras during the protocol handshake well sometimes things

between countries get so bad that even handshakes can save the day. but both leaders surely would have preferred not to stand there together like that just a few years ago the gloves were off between beijing and tokyo because of these tiny islands in the east china sea just to realize how much hate that land dispute generated have a look at this. i really wouldn't want to be a japanese car owner in china back in the days the two thousand and twelve conflict was spiraling out in all shapes and forms mr abi mr she didn't even talk on

the phone up until may this year today though we're pretty much back to seeing the new un friendship with the chinese state run media telling us this kind of stuff so what happened what kind of magical friendship did the several in the dragon get prescribed maybe it was the donald trump pill the world knew mr trump was on a mission to give beijing a real business beating the united states has just announced tariffs on another two hundred billion dollars in chinese made goods china's market distortions. and the way they deal. cannot be tolerated but who knew the president will then take aim at his biggest asia ally japan and his economic bowling well last month the media got a trade war to pay off and anyway the steel and element tariffs had already kicked in you know how it works now america first. we understand that president trump

wants to reduce the trade deficit but i think it's very important for president trump and his administration to find out the root cause of why there is a trade deficit in america i think there is a possibility that they do not yet understand why and so the world silver and bronze medalists and g.d.p. are shaking hands smiling and are possibly even ready to team up what will the golden boy have to say asia pacific. told us that trump presented himself to blame for china and japan becoming closer. u.s. did not expect that. other countries would be able to set aside their differences and get to get to the table with each other has been relatively easily as they have been able to do so but at the end of the day if there's the u.s. which has to britain have a chance to which has to carry the blame for this book the countries are frankly

for seeing you need lateral and hostile treated enforcement action from the trumpet ministration china primarily but i would also suggest that part of the reason for the coming together is because both countries realize that they are important players in the issue here and that without speaking to each other the relationship their relationship with each other as well as the larger geo political environment in which they operate becomes a little more negative. let's go back to our top story now the justice department has confirmed that fifty six year old says it is the man being held in custody in connection with the recent wave of mail bombs targeting a range of top u.s. political figures officials say they are going to fire the fingerprints from one of the envelopes he allegedly sent and let's get some more perspective now on this and speak to christian months are a lawyer and political activist sir thanks for joining us on the program today good

to have you on the suspect initial focus rather than a suspect was his staunch support for donald trump the attorney general other part of justice they've said he's got a criminal record does that change anything what reaction would likely to see now from the public in the media. well i think that this is something that we can actually remember what happened a few months ago actually last year to be more exact when a dead bernie sanders supporter went into a baseball field and started shooting republican congressman's and democrats also they were but they were playing baseball and at the time we had a strong reaction from different political sides and now we have to consider that even though this is a supporter or at least is the alleged claim we have to be very careful now to kind of like moving forward how we're going to reduce the tone how we're going to be

talking. to differ in the political sectors without accusing them without attacking them and concentrating basically on ideas which is basically what i think we should be focusing on and not attacking each other and in the case for example of the democratic party sending mobs to attack different republican politicians because in the end the only thing that this is going to generate is more violence more rhetoric that is not the place where we want to be we should be talking to republicans who are moderate democrats who are moderate but not these extremes that we have been seeing lately that have generated this type of violence so the only conclusion we can draw from this is that both sides have to tone it down both the president and the media and other political sectors have to come together and understand that we cannot continue sending these inflammatory comments on t.v. and in social media because there are people who take it personally and then they think that they have

a way to respond and this is one example now is the republican side that has this crazy follower and we also had this democratic extreme left follower a few a few months ago when he attack again was my skully so i think that we have to be very careful because this is becoming a real problem you raised such a one point that i want to follow up on that social media from one of. has to be this man's twitter account he made violent threats against people for quite some time given that he did have a criminal record as far as we know are you surprised that perhaps twitter never took any action against him given the recent tendency to to buy and to to get rid of you know extreme accounts and fake news etc. yes you're completely right it's really odd that you know we have we took off the air and from twitter and other social media outlets i'll expose for example from media wars he was taking off and we had this recent activity from this man this

history of aggressive tweets and threats i don't know and cannot understand why he was not taken down and why not he was denounced to the f.b.i. to find out what were his intentions and if he in fact was a radical person who would actually end up sending these bomb threats so in the end these things have to be taken look into we cannot continue with that you know to allow certain people to send these inflammatory tweets or aggressive messages and we just sit down and wait for things to happen i mean anybody could have been killed and and we cannot allow this to happen i mean the seriousness of this matter we have former president obama former president vice president joe biden hillary clinton and other members of different political sectors have been through and but i want to go back to one point point there are certain sectors of the media. on an

everyday basis attacked president drunk and one thing is that you're going to acknowledge that he's inflammatory himself yes but he is also someone that has good things to be spoken about and i think that the media does not focus on those and then you have these radical followers who see this every day and then they acknowledge and say well you know. they never talk about the good stuff and they only acknowledge the bad things and this is only. one little piece of the of the pie where we continue to throw him through and throw more fire and make it worse that's been such an emotive issue hasn't it and the states the last year go in office so i just want to touch upon that because recent polls in the us showed the public is greatly divided that united perhaps on this issue that there is no room for political violence in political discourse but this bomb he did any target democrats and c.n.n. fake new c.n.n. as the whole trump likes to call it in light of the midterm elections coming up how is this event going to really impact on those divisions and indeed potentially on

polling ahead of the election. well if you remember we had the brett kavanaugh hearings i think this was the turning point to generate a lot of inflammatory comments on the on the web and on t.v. and social media everywhere aggressive behavior from both sides and now this is sending a message that enough is enough that we have to tone it down and as you said i mean c.n.n. is one of these outlets but there are many more who concentrate their anchors that like literally go after the president personally and we have gone down to a point where we are more focused on what a porn star will say about a president and not about the things that are really happening behind the scenes which are you know the economic growth of the country and i think that the president any president in any country will make any mistake but we cannot just focus on either the personal matter or only the bad things he does because then it there's no objective media and i think that the media has to look inside to

evaluate how they're operating because we can just we poured one side of the story we need to be more objective in order to get the message across once we get to do that i guess is going to be very difficult for someone like the president for president trump to continue this aggressive rhetoric but if the media continues to i mean to. contribution to this aggressive behavior then there's no there's no end to it so i really hope that we can come together and understand i mean we saw the recent comments from secretary of state hillary clinton that she actually enticed and basically it's all followers you've got to go out there and you know start kicking the doors a star like you know making yourselves be heard but not not in this way of like creating a mob a mob is not the way to be heard i mean we have to be able to express our ideas to understand each other but not in this political discourse in which if you think differently then i hate you and then if i hate you and want to kill you want to

take you out in this cannot continue to be the way in which we want politics in this country and as i said to you before if the media tones the volume down and they're more objective specially some some channels and we're talking both on the right on the left then the president will also have to come to understand that he also has to tone it down and we cannot continue to make aggressive or this parroting comments on t.v. because people get offended people take it personally and then we have someone like this man who sent these bombs and you know someone could have been killed you're sure concessions to be made from all sides in order to avoid any sort of escalation in this violence or christian when sarah lawyer and political activist thanks for your take today on the top story. thank you. it's been revealed that britain's energy minister held a private unannounced meeting with major fracking firms notes from the talks back in may reveal the u.k.'s global ambitions to spread its fracking approach the news only released now under freedom of information rules has sparked an outcry there is

no model of fossil fuel extraction then we should be pursuing much less trying to sell globally not content would undermine you case own climate change talk at the government seem intent on wrecking the efforts of other countries by exporting the u.k. model of fracking around wild. the news of the meeting has compounded the current woes of the fracking industry in the u.k. last week quadrille one of the firms who met the minister was forced to suspend operations in lancashire in the north of the country of the earthquakes were detected not far from its fracking saw it paul who has more well energy company calls that a might cross seismic event others might call it a tremor or even a tiny earthquake it took place on friday morning around quadrillions fracking site and as a result of the exploratory drilling taking place the company's released a statement explaining what took place the seismic incident say to say it happened

at eleven thirty am it measured north point seven six on the richter scale and the company was alerted to it because it was immediately flagged up as a so-called red light tremor on the sort of dangerous scale of fracking anything over north point five constitutes a red light event so this was quite far into red light territory and as a result has pools to operations bonds only for eighteen hours in order to monitor seismicity levels in the area the statement says they expect fracking to restart in the morning and then goes on to play down the incident take a listen. microsoft is big events such as these result in tiny movements. anything that would be filled to its surface much less cause any harm or damage without the sophisticated monitoring in place it could drill and they would not be detected so no big deal according to the company doing the fracking but that's not what environmental campaigners and local activists have to say about it the commencement

of drilling in the u.k. has been incredibly contentious and dogged by problems and legal challenges in fact three anti fracking protesters were jailed for public nuisance when they protested the start of drilling at that site in lancashire earlier this summer in fact they thought to be the first environmental protesters to be imprisoned since nineteen thirty two although they were released by the court of appeal earlier this month the seismic incident this morning is by no means the first time a tremor has been recorded as a result of fracking in the u.k. there have been twelve line incidents or twelve minor tremors this week alone at that site in lancashire and if you chart the history of fracking in the u.k. back in the spring of two thousand and eleven quadrillion was given permission to start exploratory drilling at another site in lancashire and there were fifty

tremors then and one was so strong that it was felt by locals in the area i covered that story then i went to man's house he showed me a crack on the rule that had occurred he said as a result of that mine quake caused by the drilling so operations were suspended then and not really the best start to the fracking operation up in lancashire for the u.k. government now this was supposed to be the beginning of the u.k.'s shale revolution and ministers are nevertheless determined to crack on with it so much so that it's been revealed in the guardian that the energy minister here in the u.k. can. perry she had a meeting with fracking earlier this month which she failed to record on the transparency register where she apparently told fracking firms that the government hopes to create a u.k. model for shale gas extraction which can be exported all around the world but

given this latest seismic incident it looks like that model could use a bit of improving. to fracking campaigner to louise rather e finds the government's corporation with the fracking industry deeply concerning what claire perry will have been discussing i would imagine with industry was how smooth she could make it for them if she eases planning restrictions and. have worked with the regulators to make it a lot simpler i mean she was talking about you know we were to kind of point with the size of this point by and she was talking about raising that level so that they could cause a lot more seismicity for having to shut down you know we are deeply concerned this is an industry that's got off to a very bad start seven years ago and has yet to redeem itself and when they talk about exporting our expertise what next the teased it would take decades to get expertise we certainly don't have it now is the group energy today is still not with its accounts which was our school i think it just produced its accounts and he

showed it in a diabolical state you know these industry this industry is not what it sells itself as a government as i've been hoodwinked or is somehow in collusion. issues where the front speakers or buying don't podiums make the occasional appearance in politics are now after the e.u. rejected italy's proposed new budget it was the turn of an italian i mean peter put his foot or rather his shoe firm many don't. it's the first time the european commission has rejected any member states budget proposal but three weeks to revise its spending plans. breaks down the dispute. brussels is sharpening its knife in preparation for

a new battle with rome for the first time the e.u. has flat out rejected a member states budget demanding a resubmission to do for the first time as a commission is obliged to a. country that it was off budget. but we seen no alternative to it all and to do so it is in. the interest of whole. the e.u. claims that italy's debt situation is out of control and that salvias government needs to tighten its purse strings and fulfill its obligations the euro skeptics say it doesn't have anything to do with money since there are other states with bloated budgets that have never felt such a heavy hand from brussels this is the first italian budget the e.u. doesn't like no surprise this is the first italian budget written in rome not in brussels. the italian economy is healthy and this is an economic move that will

give italy distributing needs we won't change one comma in this document to. be you know to go into the we are not. that. on. the future. it spain belgium portugal and slovenia have all been in violation of the e.u. agreements in the past and for years france has broken the three percent deficit threshold imposed on it by the e.u. as for debt it's been in the red since two thousand and two and only this year the second largest european economy received a carefully worded letter in response asking all very politely to reduce its debts . we thank you for sending the front twenty nineteen draft budget that we received on october fifteenth we would like to ask you for more details the commission's preliminary assessment also indicates that the growth rate for france does not

respect the reference rates of ditch reduction in twenty nineteen so italy refused to be taken to heel by this double standard. except the e.u. commissioner in charge of budgets didn't seem to find the stunt very funny even connecting the italian shushan and against to a potential quick path to fascism the episode of the made in italy shoe is grotesque at first you smile and we trivialize it because it's ridiculous but then we start getting used to this kind of muted symbolic violence and one day we wake up with fascism stay alert democracy is a fragile treasure well the draft budget would have seen over five hundred million dollars worth of cuts to defense spending while putting more money towards social welfare and tax cuts not exactly a sound way to revive fascism and certainly not a good way to be a shoo in with the new donald quarter r.t.
