6:03 pm
responsible for sending these packages containing explosives this is donald trump congratulating the f.b.i. and the police forces 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. 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
6:04 pm
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 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. as mentioned just that a new survey has found that almost forty percent of americans believe divisions in their country will get worse the poll also revealed that among the most contentious political issues are donald trump's presidency economic inequality as well as race relations lawyer and political activist christian month said i told us there needs to be a concerted effort to reduce the current level of ill feeling and bring people together . 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
6:05 pm
sending these inflammatory comments on t.v. and social media because there are people who take it personally and then they you 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 have the democratic extreme left follower a few of a few months ago when he had congressman scully so i think that we have to be very careful because this is becoming a real problem out. to other news now relations between japan and china are at a historic turning point that's according at least to japan's prime minister who was speaking at a summit with china's president is the first visit to the country by a japanese leader for what actual talks in nearly seven years the current thought follows a long period of territorial disputes you know patrol takes a closer look what other led to the change. the japanese prime minister is in china and he's smiling. that was him with the chinese premier who was
6:06 pm
smiling too. so why 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 i hate that land dispute generated have a look at this. i
6:07 pm
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
6:08 pm
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 but 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 experts told us that trump has only go to him self to blame for china and japan getting closer together. us did not expect that. other countries would be able to set aside their differences and get to get to the
6:09 pm
table with each other has been relatively easily as they have been evil to do so but at the end of the beer it is the us which has to believe in every chance to which has to carry the blame for this board the countries are frankly fear seeing uni lateral and hostile trid 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. and that without speaking to each other the relationship their relationship with each other as well as the larger geopolitical environment in which they operate becomes a little more negative. it's been revealed that britain's energy minister held a private announced meeting with major fracking firms notes from the talks in may
6:10 pm
reveal that the u.k. has global ambitions to spread its fracking approach and use it when he's now under freedom of information rules has sparked an outcry. there is no model of fossil fuel extraction that we should be pursuing much less trying to sell globally not content with undermining the u.k.'s own climate change targets the government seem intent on wrecking the efforts of other countries by exporting the u.k. model of fracking around wild and news of the meeting has compounded the current woes of the fracking industry in the u.k. last week quadrille or one of the firms who met the minister was forced to suspend operations in lancashire in the north of the country as after earthquakes were detected not far from its fracking site artie's poly worker has more. well energy company calls it a might crew 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
6:11 pm
a statement explaining what took place the seismic incident so to say 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 nor 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 results in tiny movements. anything that would be filled surface much less cause any harm or damage without the sophisticated monitoring in place it could drill and they would not be detected so
6:12 pm
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.
6:13 pm
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 in the wool 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.
6:14 pm
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 defrocking campaigner louise rather a fall into 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 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 x. the t's it would take decades to get expertise we certainly don't have it now is
6:15 pm
the group energy today is still not with its accounts which it was asked oil 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. coming up shortly israeli troops have short beds for palestinian protesters along the perimeter fence in gaza what are the latest details for you after this short break . you know world big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past
6:16 pm
each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round of lives only the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. the real news is really.
6:17 pm
welcome back to our teams rational health officials in gaza say five palestinians were shot dead by israeli soldiers during the latest wave of until corporation protests on the perimeter fence on friday a further one hundred seventy demonstrators were reportedly injured israel has the friend its use of force saying it was defending itself from terrorists local journalist reports. here than. what goes on every friday continues to hop palestinian protesters come here to protest demanding the return to their lands they. entires to blur the scenes in fact of the israeli forces ambulances field the site the best site is always filled by palestinian protesters from all ages even injured people who have been injured in the same protests the previous weeks also
6:18 pm
come down to protest this is the journalist that has been shot in his leg. he has been shot in his time. but live bullets he has been taken by the paramedics to the ambulance. in order to perform. the first aid. and germany is considering building a liquid natural gas l.n.g. terminal capable of receiving fuel from the u.s. it's also the markle spokesperson added that the facility would make the countries and the market more competitive. for the agreement stipulates that germany should have the energy infrastructure that's why we also welcome the private sector initiatives in german gas transport infrastructure to implement this we believe that a diversified supply of natural gas was helping shore is secure energy supply throughout
6:19 pm
the european union for the near future and that competitive prices. american at n.g.c. has a competitor to russian gas currently sent via pipelines through germany one such route to north stream two would expand the liveries far the baltic sea is expected to become operational next year we discussed the issue with political analyst firestone felt he thinks the building of the energy facilities in germany is a compromise through don't trumps the months. i think it is on one hand concession to the demands of president trump which he raced during the nato summit this year during other occasions but on the other hand it is also you know. decision to. the energy infrastructure it is not only the project which was discussed yesterday the question is who is going to buy who is
6:20 pm
going to buy the more expensive us you know. question if it is subsidized by the government or not the volumes coming from from the united states or from los america to europe are very very small basically they have east asian markets which is much more you know interesting in the economic b.-y. a ball than the european market and it takes i think a lot of years until she is really competent tourer for four pipeline guys from from the russian federation. shoes were flung at speakers or banged on podiums make the occasional appearance in politics and now off the e.u. project italy's proposed new budget it was the town of an italian m.e.p. to put his foot or rather his shoe down.
6:21 pm
it's the first time of course the european commission has rejected any member states budget proposal the bloc gave rome three weeks to revise its spending plans artie's donald quarter 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. for the first time as a commission is obliged to a. country that it was off budget to be blunt. but we seen no alternative to it all and to do so it is really into the 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
6:22 pm
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 and not in brussels. you tell me an economy is healthy and this is an economic move that will give. needs we want change one comma in this document to. be you know to go to. the. on. the future. that 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
6:23 pm
second largest european economy received a carefully worded letter in response asking all very politely to reduce its debts . we thank you for sending we from twenty nine thousand 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 rate of did 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
6:24 pm
up with fascism stay alert democracy is a fragile treasure or 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. . it's come up so one thirty here in moscow that's all from myself and the team here at all t. ford so i call it mccown will be guiding you through the lights top global news headlines.
6:25 pm
after almost two years of office many still question whether donald trump has a coherent foreign policy the same cannot be said about the president's national security adviser john bolton when you think of bolton the words subtlety and diplomacy don't come to mind so is there no bolton doctor. this is says harlan kentucky. the places you go to street fanny's leave. a co money since he was almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the coal miners are said. that it was a love to see these people the survivors of disappearing before their eyes.
6:26 pm
i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's happened it's happened. sean has been coming up with a lot of statements saying the. the arab states of the go should take care of the middle east or other we're still committed to the middle east so there's there's a lot of incoherence there but i think saudi arabia is hugely important to the united states and i think trump understands that and this is this is exactly what was driving his kind of commentary on the. killing i think that's the end of the day it's not going to change the status quo of america's polls if you go. running to the closest to the best out of the tools at. the time
6:27 pm
6:28 pm
