whether donald trump has a computer inform policy the same cannot be said about the president's national security adviser john bolton when you think of the word subtlety and diplomacy don't come to mind so is there no a body to die. the u.s. justice department names fifty six year old says on sale because the man in custody suspected of sending out mail bombs targeting a range of top u.s. political figures. was donald trump's trade was showing no signs of abating up old photos japan and china are making the best of a bad situation signing a new economic deal together. revelations that britain's energy minister held

private to other nouns talks with controversial fracking firms sparks outrage. and italy refuses to back down over his budget plans despite them being rejected by brussels one italian i mean he even used his shoe to demonstrate to us what he thinks of the e.u.'s response. a very warm welcome you watching r.t. and to national with me and karen great to have you with us this hour now our top story the justice department task confirms that fifty six year old says all say oh he's 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 identified the fingerprints from one of the envelopes he allegedly sent. he has been charged today with five federal

crimes including interstate transportation and explosive due legal 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 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 prior to the justice department we also heard from the u.s.

president he was very can graduate tory 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 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 or 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 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 caleb mentions that a new survey has found that almost forty percent of americans believe divisions in their country will worsen the poll also revealed that among the most contentious political issues than donald trump's presidency economic inequality and race relations lawyer and political activist christine mancera told is 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 sending these inflammatory comments on t.v. and on 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 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 and historic turning point as according to japan's prime minister he was speaking at a summit with china's president is the first visit to the country by a japanese leader for bilateral talks in nearly seven years the current thought follows a long period of territorial disputes if you're trying to announce takes

a look at what's led to this change the japanese prime minister is in china and he's smiling. that was him with the chinese premier who was smiling too. so what 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. today. 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. it was. it

was 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 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 the 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 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. as a pacific expert said rob told us that trump has only got himself to blame for

china and japan getting close to seek other. us did not expect that that other countries would be able to set aside their differences and get to get to the table with each other as relatively easily as they have been able to do so but at the end of the beer is the us which has to britain chose to which has to carry the blame for the us both the countries are frankly facing unilateral and hostile trid in force military 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 their relationship their relationship with each other as well as the larger geopolitical environment in which they operate it becomes a little more negative. it's been revealed that britain's energy minister held

a private unannounced meeting with major fracking firms notes from the talks in may reveal that the u.k. has a global ambitions to spread its fracking approach the news only released now under freedom of information rules has sparked that 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 the world. news of the meeting has compounded the current woes of the fracking industry in the u.k. last week quadrille low one of the firms which met the minister was forced to suspend operations in lancashire in the north of the country after earthquakes were detected not far from his fracking sides artie's polly boyko 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 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 but 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 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 would 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 trend 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 firms earlier this month which she failed to record on the transparency register where she apparently told fracking for 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 we asked the department for business business that edgy and industrial strategy for comment it's hard is that the meeting was a presentation to industry unions and community groups at an event and therefore not disclosed as a ministerial meeting it also stressed that the u.k.'s energy minister has always been absolutely clear about the need to maintain high regulatory standards but it's anti fracking campaigner tina louise rather ri is deeply concerned by the government's approach to fracking. what perry will have been discussing i would

imagine with industry was how smooth she could make it for them if she is planning restrictions and. have worked with the regulators to make it a lot simpler i mean she was talking about you know we're 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 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 the cheese it would take decades to get expertise we certainly don't have it now as has been proved so the energy today is still not with its accounts which it was asked i think it just reduced 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 included. health

officials in gaza say five palestinians were shot dead by israeli soldiers during the latest wave of anti occupation protests along the perimeter fence on friday a further one hundred seventy people were reportedly injured and the i.d.f. which has repeatedly defended its use of deadly force against the great march of return demonstrators said there's several individuals attempted to breach the fence local journalistic sires reports from the scene. what goes on every friday continues to happen palestinian protesters come here to protest demanding the return to their lands they bring tires to blur the scenes in front 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 come down to protest this is the journalist that has been. shot in his leg. he has been shot in his time. with that live bullets he has been taken by the paramedics to the ambulance. in order to perform. the first aid. yeah. germany is considering building a liquid natural gas or l.n.g. terminal capable of receiving feel from the u.s. chancellor merkel spokesperson added that the facility would make the country's energy market more competitive. on the quality for trucks each year for the agreement stipulates that germany should have infrastructure that's why we also

welcome the private sector initiatives as german gas transport infrastructure to implement this we believe that a diversified supply of natural gas will happen shortly secure energy supply throughout the european union for the near future and at competitive prices. american l.n.g. is seen as a competitor to russian gas currently sent via pipelines to germany one such route to north stream two will expand the liveries via the baltic sea baltic sea as expected to become operational next year we discussed the issue with political analyst mathias dorn felt he thinks the building of the l.n.g. facilities in germany is a compromise to donald trump's demands. seeing this 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 there is also you know. decision to. the

infrastructure it is not only the project which was discussed yesterday the question is who is going to buy who is going to buy the more expensive elegy gas you know. question if it is subsidized by the government or not the volumes are coming from the from the united states or from north america to europe a very very small basically they have east asian market which is much more you know interesting in the economic b.y.o.b. the european market. it takes. a lot of years until she is really. competitor for four pipeline gas from from the russian federation. shoes whether flung at speakers or banged on podiums make the occasional apparent same politics and now after the e.u. rejected italy's proposed new budget it was the turn of an italian m.e.p.

to put his foot or rather his shoe down. it's the first time in the european commission they work is the first time the european commission has rejected any member states budget proposal the three weeks to revise its spending plans are to start on course it breaks down the disputes. brussels a 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. but we seen nor. 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 solving these 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 time in budget the e.u. doesn't like no surprise this is the first italian budget written in rome and 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 to. the. on. the future. 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 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 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 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 shoe in with the new donald quarter r.t. the european court of human rights has ruled that defaming the prophet mohammad falls outside the limits of acceptable speech and is a criminal offense the case thought a panel of judges unanimously rejected a pill from an author austrian woman who had been seeking to overturn

a conviction for insulting islam. the domestic courts comprehensively assessed the wider context of the applicant statements and carefully balanced your right to freedom of expression with the right of others to have their religious feelings protected and served legitimate of preserving religious peace you know austria. the woman identified only as the lead to seminars back in two thousand and nine entitled basic information on islam she allegedly used the classes to characterize the profits of paedophiles that led to a conviction in two thousand and eleven for defaming religious doctrines and a fine of four hundred eighty euros and a pale she had made on the grounds of free speech had also been rejected in the austrian courts we were joined for reaction earlier by a journalist a lucrative a and massoud showed jari from the islamic human rights commission. we

have history of course we have a historical context but the problem is that with islam there is no historical context it has the text full stop and you cannot say anything we should have free speech i'm sorry as a muslim will work on any sort of discussion any sort of dialogue or discussion with any critic of islam as long as it is civil of you sit down and be taught but if somebody actually turns around the abuse and becomes abusive then that's a different kettle of fish it's a cultural discussions it happens in our societies so islamised be ready also to be tackled to be questioned about certain things that are not acceptable that are also legislations now against islamophobia why one people should be free to be islamophobia as some people are anti christian for anti-christian for example so it should be free we should have free speech and it goes as far as saying in some

instances that perfect mohammad was very wrong you know we cannot allow people to use the concept of freedom of speech which i actually i think is a very important. thing to have but we cannot allow people to use and abuse that to become racist demonize a group of people and and then make him into others and there's no cure in this value and then we promote fascism come on come on anti semitism is racism clearly but islamophobia is against a religion and i can moderate it sorry not sort of in it that is no no you didn't look you are you're you're really you're really hiding behind the fact of the mother is why do you speak about fascism nobody's there a lady was around there which is that hundred euro in austria and this was upheld by a court of human rights are you are you and martin. really are you seriously are you

really asleep open your eyes don't you see the rise of fascism in the streets of europe don't you see it if you don't see it you're actually sleep walking right into it we need to make sure that as much as it is as much as and it me a little i just finished a farm of fascists that is the problem so there is no violence on the part of europeans to what's towards muslims they are welcome in europe but they must remain and the private sphere look muslims will come in europe that is a racist thing to say you know these are people who are part and parcel of what the europeans say look what you mean no you're you're you're just saying we'll come off course or we'll come there or they're all stricken people who are austrian and they've been austrian since two thousand and nineteen of us excited down the nozzle in an aria so what they want to say that they don't need you to work on them they belong to austria this is the language of exclusion this language of otherness is

exactly what i'm talking about but i will not will come people to abuse my believe and to abuse me and to actually make me second class citizens the reality is that we can sort of have sort of one set of rules and laws for one community and another one for an older. you say your thoughts on all of our stories by following us on social media without the headlines the top of the hour see that. it will.

not go ok well that's less than a mile down the line how much too much for. seized this chill out one hundred times for the night come to younger americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents yes the maze stream media is actually covering the death of a journalist at the hands of one of our allies as most of you know jamal khashoggi was brutally murdered murder by saudi arabia while in turkey a few weeks ago and the mainstream corporate media has been all over it twenty four seven when i saw the major media doing the right thing called during this murder i was excited i was thrilled i was like what exactly is going on here. seeing our corporate media cover important news is like catching a shark reading a book you know i think i'm missing something. so why are they doing it is it because because jodi was

a journalist so our pinheaded media hacks were finally able to see past their endless defense of saudi arabia and reveal the truth no doubt no doubt stop and stuff stop stop it. if that were the case they would have extensively covered the info is the intentional murder of palestinian journalists a few months ago in gaza where they were wearing press across their chest and were still shot by snipers but let's not jump to conclusions maybe the snipers thought that meant their shirts had been pressed at the dry cleaner and they didn't like a left the sticker on there and the snipers shot them because they were like they claim the gazans are struggling but clearly they are dry clean ag dry feedback. and if our mainstream media cared about journalists they would have extensively covered the police shooting of reporter erin schroeder in standing rock where while on camera she.
