identified his fingerprints and d.n.a. for one of the envelopes. he has been charged today with fired federal crimes including interstate transportation and explosive illegal mailing of explosives threats against former presidents and certain other persons threatening interstate communications and assaulting current and former federal officers or let's look at what we know about the suspect he's out of say ok he's apparently a trauma supporter for years he's been living in a van covered in pro trumpet bumper sticker is a say york already has a criminal record he was previously convicted of car theft if found guilty of the attempted possible bombings he could face up to fifty eight years in prison and among the targets of his thirteen packages were barack obama hillary clinton and c.n.n. meantime donald trump has condemned the incident. we will prosecute them
2:03 am
him her whoever it may be to the fullest extent of the law. and 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 the attempted bombings highlight how polarized the us has become particularly with midterm elections in just over a week now this is confirmed by a new survey which found that eighty percent of americans think their country is greatly divided it also found that almost forty percent of those polled believe the situation will worsen the poll also revealed that among the most contentious political issues donald trump's presidency economic inequality and race relations a lawyer and political activist christian man said and told us there needs to be a concerted effort to bring people together. both sides have to tone it
2:04 am
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 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 attacked congressman scott lee so i think that we have to be very careful because this is becoming a real problem out and while many in the us feel that divisions will only worsen some in the mainstream media initially pointed the finger at russia as being behind the possible bombs. i have this fear that it could be some russian operation two designed to do what's happening now. recent polls are showing that more people are adopting the mainstream media's coverage of russia as our correspondent caleb
2:05 am
maupin reports. a while back it might be weeks between any russia related stories in mainstream media but times have changed and now it seems that no matter what the topic mainstream media finds a way to bring russia into it russia harvested american rage to reshape u.s. politics how the russians are trying to turn the tragedy to their advantage to target almost every major american social movement there's russian bots still pushing divisive past tags apparently accounts on social media even now so with stories of big bad russia playing round the clock on their television screens you would think that people living in western countries would be in a state of anti russian hysteria except they aren't according to a poll conducted by the french institute for public opinion it turns out that nearly half of americans and europeans don't buy into the russian coverage in the mainstream press france takes the lead when it comes to being wary of mainstream
2:06 am
media russia reporting however across the pond people are slightly more trusting yet forty three percent of the u.s. public is wary of the russian coverage around the clock so why are people less trusting well lately the russian coverage has gotten a little bit weird russia is being blamed for the controversy around football players kneeling during the national anthem rush is being encouraged of having stars like emma watson used in memes in order to troll teenagers russia is even being blamed for criticism of the last jet a star wars movie and a great disturbance in the force says millions of voices suddenly cried. with such signs so we decided to show these headlines to new yorkers let's see if they can spot the fake one our russian selling weaves on instagram. maybe it could be that sound so it sounds it was here the other kremlin backed trolls use stars like emma watson to spread discord in the west. really that sounds
2:07 am
. more real that sound real the. russian bots promote guns after florida school shooting. yeah that sounds tree does sound real no hate for the last jet i was actually spread by russian trolls fake i don't think now is real i think the last is not a true headline trick question there all the headlines are all real and why do you make of. ok that's crazy you tricked me i could believe the real headlines that doesn't mean they're real out of control you think the media is a little hysterical want to talk about this stuff yes i think so clearly according to those headlines i think so the trying to get a reaction out of. the left they're just trying to you know stir up some sort of craze sure some americans buy it but a lot of others don't skepticism is everywhere it seems that rather than forming an anti russian mob a lot of americans have decided to question more cable mopp and r.t.
2:08 am
new york. meantime the european court of human rights has ruled that defaming of the prophet mohammed folds outside the limits of acceptable speech but the case or a panel of judges reject an appeal from an austrian woman who'd been seeking to overturn a conviction for insulting islam. but the domestic courts comprehensively assess the wider context of the applicant's statements and carefully balanced her right to freedom of expression with the right of others to have their religious feelings protected by consent of the legitimate aim of preserving religious peace in austria . the woman identified only as he held two seminars back in two thousand and nine in titled basic information on islam she allegedly used the classes to characterize the prophet as a paedophile that led to a conviction in twenty eleven for defaming religious doctrines and a fine of nearly five hundred euros or appeal on the grounds of free speech had earlier also been rejected by the austrian courts so we got reaction to the story
2:09 am
from journalist a look we have a and a must from the islamic human rights commission. this is about a faith of course muslims don't like that their prophet mohammed is being criticized but it should be in this instance you know we should have free speech i'm sorry i as a muslim will work on any sort of dialogue or discussion with any critic of islam as long as it is of all of you sit down and we talk 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 islam must 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
2:10 am
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 actually i think is a very important. thing to have but we cannot allow people to use and abuse to become races the minimize the group of people and then make him into others and there's no cure in this value and then we promote fascism. come on anti semitism is racism clearly but islamophobia is against a religion and iran can moderate it sorry not sort of in that's no no you didn't look you are you're you're really you're really hiding behind the fact of the mother is i don't want fascism to come back in the streets of europe there is no file on some part of europeans to what's towards muslims they are welcome in europe
2:11 am
but they must remain and a 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 will come they're all stricken people who are all syrian and they've been austrian since two thousand of the year nineteen of that are six sided so none of them are in already 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 other than this is exactly what i'm talking about the reality is that we can sort of have sort of one set of rules and laws for one community another one for all of it. one of the u.k.'s top universities has found itself at the center of a controversy the head of it student union called for the removal of
2:12 am
a hundred year old memorial honoring soldiers who fought in the first world war aunties and i see a church and i picked up the story. here at the university of southampton a student union president has caused a lot of outrage after she demanded a world war one memorial knew of the scrapped reason it features only white men mark my words we had taken downs a mural white man in c. unit senator room even if i have to paint or it myself the problem is it's not just a random white man on the mural the image was painted in one thousand sixteen and is known to students who fought and died in the first. world war without being able to complete their degrees so this remark to get rid of that mural drew a lot of criticism including from a descendant of the artist the sentiment behind the painting is wonderful it's awful to see women like this browsing off on twitter about something as idiotic as that this means that real issues then don't get discussed. i hope she will reflect
2:13 am
on what she has said and realize it has been conducted in poor taste those who know the history of our island fully aware and appreciate the involvement of black and asian soldier so against time running. the university told us this the comments made by the students union president regarding the rothstein muro are not shared by the university of southampton we have very proud to display the miro which serves as a memorial to all members of british universities who served in the great war this is far from the first time you can universities have been rocked with similar scandals oh you would please i i. despite an apology from the woman at the center of the controversy a petition to remove her from the post of student union president has been quickly
2:14 am
gathering supporters let's find out exactly what students at the university make of it all and we disagree with. all of our opinions there are people in rage because it's like you're touching because you're something you are writing if you want and you are writing is sorry you're literally blaming these people died for your country and they couldn't get the degree you have the pleasure to be together they couldn't something real real and that's real i think history is something we kind of have to accept it rewriting it is not the right way that's denying i history i can accept that it's happened and maybe it was a right whatever but it's you know you can only write for. many different people for just what many. times over your history if. suppose a white man who is for. the point of rhyme well well i do hope that more people
2:15 am
on campus will be discussing it in greater depth. it is all too international with halloween just days away one n.b.c. host has found himself without a job after a televised discussion about what is and what is not an acceptable cost or. what is racist because because this is truly what you do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on the left the halloweens or a black person who puts out a white face yeah we like that a black rat is a kid that was ok as long as you were dressing up like a character and. i defended the idea saying as long as it was as it was respectful and part of the hollowing costume it seemed ok well i was wrong and i am sorry. to not know historical significance of that she said something stupid she said
2:16 am
something indefensible she owes a bigger apology to the folks of color around the country people don't get to decide what's racist if i punch you i don't decide if it hurts or not there has never been a time in that in her forty seven years that blackface has been acceptable. where is a man oh man i really. don't want to be a millionaire and go what not a lot of black fulfillments you. see when they say is true in the words of the old spiritual i have gone black. and i can't go back. some time and i told the whole look over the sky and see what the hell go on up
2:17 am
there you are full of on all the planets form and whole. eighty. well if you already are a pro-forma liberal with left wing views there's no reason to fire you they didn't have something that they wanted to get rid of for say jimmy fallon or jimmy kimmel the late night comedy talk show host who both in the last ten years have been seen on television dressed as black people famous black people including black makeup on their faces nobody in the american entertainment is has been dented by their occasional forays into blackface except making kelly who was not liberal enough and got punished for that that's the way n.b.c. and most american media does business liberalism first common sense way later on still to come on the program here we're not saying environmental activists in the u.k.
2:18 am
accuse the government of putting up with nature and people in danger i will tell you more after a short break and. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long for the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building
2:19 am
a two point one billion dollar a i industrial part. but don't put the numbers over the world. the only number you need to remember it was one you know for the mid one and only. good of you to join us for the saturday program here on out c straight to the u.k. now that the government throwing its weight behind the fracking industry has caused outrage among environmental activists they claim the gas extraction method poses a great deal of danger to both nature and people living near the drilling sites this comes against a backdrop of multiple fracking induced earth tremors as political investigates
2:20 am
energy company calls it a might cruise seismic event but others might just call it a tremor or even a tiny quake and it took place on friday morning around quadrillions fracking site in lancashire as a result of the drilling taking place the companies released a statement explaining what happened they said it took place at around eleven thirty in the morning it was measured to be no point seven six on the richter scale and came up as a red light incident on the sort of dangerous scale of fracking that anyone fracking in the u.k. has to adhere to and anything over north point five constitutes a red light incident and as a result i had to pause operations but only for eighteen hours the statement that they released said that they expect to start fracking again on saturday morning and it also goes on to kind of play down the incident microsoft's big event such as
2:21 am
these results in tony movements that anything that would be filled at surface much less. cause any harm or damage without the sophisticated monitoring in place that could drill and they would not be detected so no big deal according to the company doing their fracking although that's not what environmental campaigners or locals in lancashire and that fracking site would have to say there has been a lot of opposition to the commencement of drilling in the u.k. it's been incredibly contentious that in fact three anti fracking protesters were imprisoned earlier this year and they're thought to be the first environmental protesters to be imprisoned in the u.k. since nineteen thirty two although they have since been released after a judgement by the court of appeal here in britain but the seismic incident this morning is by no means the first time there's been a tremor as a result of explorer tree drilling for shale gas there are twelve line tremors this week alone and bear in mind there's only been
2:22 am
a week of drilling so far so not the best start to the government's shale gas revolution here in the u.k. but ministers are determined to crack on with it so much so it's been revealed by the guardian that the government's energy minister claire perry held a private meeting with energy firms earlier this month which she failed to record on the government's transparency register and thanks to a freedom of information request the guardian found out that at that meeting she said that the government hopes to create a u.k. model for shale gas extraction which can be exported around the world but given this latest seismic incident in lancashire one might argue that that model needs a bit of improving we asked the u.k. government for comment on the minister's meeting you told us that it was a presentation to industry groups are to an event therefore not disclosed as a ministerial meeting and goes on to stress that the u.k.'s energy minister has
2:23 am
always been clear about the need to maintain high regulatory standards but until. in campaign louise rather re told us she's not convinced by the government so sure and says what clear perry will have been discussing i would imagine with industry was how smooth she could make it for them if she eases planning restrictions were to cut off 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. thirty s. it would take decades to get expertise we certainly don't have it now it is the improved you know these industry this industry is not what it sells itself as the government is i've been hoodwinked or is somehow in collusion. video house or most of a truck driver in australia hurling racist abuse at
2:24 am
a cutout of a sikh political candidate it depicts sonny who was running for the city council in port augusta in southern australia because it. was the down. turn if. all of this. and i was. only saying it's a thirty two year old businessman who has lived in australia for ten years and owns a taxi company or through officials have slammed the attack calling seeing a quote well known liked and respected member of the community who also welcomed his bid for office and we spoke to who described his disappointment about the trucker's actions. i was quite shocked when i saw this video and really bad. and then i settled down a little bit because it wasn't personally on me but it was attack on all the
2:25 am
migraines i really want to educate that stakes and. what is the difference and. what sort of blokes we do for the community and i will i will tell him if he come into problems like come in front of camera and apologize to my cities then i live to port augusta people because we have upset them and and tell people to make these sort of videos in the future sikhs are a growing minority in australia though they have been in the region since the eighteenth thirty's most came to the country from the punjab region on the indian subcontinent when over one hundred thousand and six sikhs are right now thought to be living in australia and mr sunny singh also told us that facebook with a video for the most should be but have monitored it by police for racist content. but in my case the local politicians have done a good job and they have book come straight away and they have contacted me
2:26 am
straight away but i'm not sure what so what's happening on the high level but i would love to see. the facebook pages get get shut down oh i can get dragged properly by police told by someone who can't approve their videos will post before they put out. the program for this hour here on oxy international many thanks for joining us here for this program we are back soon with. the thing about saudi arabia is they use the oil as a weapon and if they get too close to investigating what's going on over there they push the price of oil up now on the last ten years because of fracking in america
2:27 am
america position to stop us energy independent and no longer subject to the political pressures that can be borne upon them from opec and the saudis so we're going to see a real test of this because. all of the litany of horrors coming out of saudi arabia is making people feel. the brunt of them with the global market is the best out of the jewels with. the concepts of those players to perform i passed myself to die i. don't know said he'd well i'm sorry you know that i'm sorry trust me. as most of. you. in the home will go some time. her.
2:28 am
scanty clothes. she had the goods so dense and. so we'll see if you take. what traditionally if it was that he could go west it was just that yes good to be sure so i took it to education going to a couple so i met twenty b.s. good. job. was that god god god god ok let us listen to my never mind too much too much for to seize this chill out walk under attack for the night could come to younger americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents yes the maze free media is actually covering the death of
2:29 am
a journalist at the hands of one of our allies as most of you know jamal khashoggi was brutally murdered murdered 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 mainstream 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 in the intentional murder of palestinian journalists
2:30 am
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 and been pressed at the dry cleaner and they didn't like the 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 to drive the doctor. 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 was intentionally shot with rubber bullets they would have covered the arrests of journalists at the g. twenty protests or at occupy wall street they would be standing up for journalist giuliana sometimes and they would have covered the time can janson.
