one of the envelopes. meantime the media has been. strong support for. this is the face police have tied to the anonymous explosive devices mailed this week to prominent democrats and apparently mad bomber has been targeting president trump's favorite targets for his invective cesar say holding a sign that says c.n.n. sucks as well as a lot of other nonsense in there he said a trump rally and the fifty six year old florida resident today was arrested and charged with sending a series of explosive devices well let's look at what we know about the suspect a series out of say oak you're already has a criminal record he was previously convicted eight times including for a cough eft if found guilty of the attempted possible things he could face up to fifty eight years in prison among the targets so if his thirteen packages were barack obama hillary clinton on c.n.n. meantime donald trump has condemned the incident we will prosecute them
5:03 am
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. the attempted bombings highlight how polarized the us has become just ahead of midterm elections and well just over a week now this is confirmed by a new survey which found that eighty percent of americans think the country is greatly divided it was also found that almost forty percent of those believe the situation will worsen the poll also revealed that among the most contentious political issues are donald trump's presidency economic inequality and of race relations a lawyer and political activist a christian and sarah told us there needs to be a concerted effort to bring people together. both sides have to tone it down
5:04 am
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 you a few months ago when he attacked a 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 u.s. feel that divisions will only worsen some in the mainstream media initially pointed the finger at russia as being behind the possible. i have this fear that it could be some russian operation too in designed to do what's happening now. recent polls are showing that more people are doubting the mainstream media's coverage of russia
5:05 am
auntie's caleb maupin has details. 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
5:06 am
mainstream press france takes the lead when it comes to being wary of mainstream 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 jetta star wars movie was a great disturbance in the force says millions of voices suddenly cried out into the sun the sun 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 great but let's hear the other kremlin
5:07 am
backed trolls use stars like emma watson to spread discord in the west. really that sounds. more real sound real the. russian bots promote guns after florida school shooting. yeah true that sounds really does sound real 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 what you make of it. that's crazy you tricked me i could believe the real headlines that doesn't mean they're real out of control i 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 trying to get a reaction out of. me just trying to you know stir up some sort of praise sure some americans buy it but a lot of others don't skepticism is everywhere it seems that rather than forming an
5:08 am
anti russian mob a lot of americans have decided to question more cable mopp and r.t. new york. the european court of human rights has ruled that defaming the prophet mohammed folds outside the limits of acceptable speech ok sor a panel of judges reject an appeal from an austrian woman who had been seeking to overturn a conviction for insulting islam. but the domestic courts comprehensively assess the wider context of the african statements and carefully balanced her right to freedom of expression with the right of others to have their religious feelings protect and serve the legitimate aim of preserving religious peace in austria. the woman identified only as held at 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 undefined of nearly five hundred euros her appeal on the grounds of free speech had earlier also been
5:09 am
rejected by the austrian courts so we got reaction on the story from journalist and must say from the islamic human rights commission. this is about faith of course muslims don't like that their prophet muhammad is being criticized but it should be in this instance you know we should have free speech i'm sorry as a muslim who will come to any sort of dialogue or discussion with any critic of islam as long as it is of all of the 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 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
5:10 am
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 then make him into others and there's not really 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 even 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 i don't want fascism to come back in the streets of europe there is no
5:11 am
violence on the part of europeans to avoid stewart's muslims they are welcome in europe but they must remain end of private sphere look muslims will come in europe that is the. 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 will come of 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 is in oria so they won't go on to say that they don't need you to work on them they belong to austria this is a 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 the. one of the u.k.'s top universities has found itself at the center of
5:12 am
a controversy after the head of a student union called for the removal of a hundred year old memorial honoring soldiers who fought in the first world war artes and i see a truck in a fix 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 new movie scrapped the reason it features only white men but mark my words we had taken downs a mural of white man in the unit senator room even if i have to paint or eat 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 is idiotic is that this means that real issues then don't get discussed. i hope she will reflect
5:13 am
on what she has said and realize it has been conducted in poor taste those who know the history of our island are fully aware of and appreciate the involvement of black and asian soldiers against tyranny. 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 or what i. i 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
5:14 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 who are very enraged because it's like you're touching because you're something out there it's as you're writing if you want and you are writing is three 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's 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 not you can only write for. many different people for just one of many so. if you feel like. it's a place of white man it is for. the point of writing i do hope that more people.
5:15 am
all. away. well it is racist because because of the situation that you do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on the left or you're always 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.
5:16 am
to not know historical significance of that she said something stupid she said 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 you 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 know of to be a murderer and go what mad lot of black fullfillment still. think when they say is true in the words of the old me 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 air war on up
5:17 am
there were for live on all the planet for the whole r.t.t. . 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 or got punished for exact that's the way n.b.c. and most american media does business liberalism first common sense way later i saw the leaders of france germany and russia they're all gathering now in istanbul to
5:18 am
discuss the future of syria we'll give you details on that just a moment. the thing about saudi arabia is they is the oil as a weapon you know 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 america a position to solve as energy independence 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 these the litany of horrors coming out of saudi arabia is making people if you. would hope to. be put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected.
5:19 am
so when you want to be president and you. want to listen. to going to be press which is what will before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of our. question. i could have you with us today for the program with the conflict in syria now into what appears to be its final phase people in the war weary country still have a loaf a long way to go before finding reconciliation that's why leaders from turkey france germany and russia gathering today in istanbul to outline steps for a peaceful resolution and if the trend of reports. we've got the countries that are trying to push for peace in syria through the so-called astronaut process minus
5:20 am
iran let's also not forget that turkey right now is on a self-imposed mission to squeeze out the last remaining nusra terrorists and other affiliated terrorists out of. on the other hand germany france and turkey are some of the most powerful nato players in europe and yes you can't help pointing out that donald trump won't be around and is stamboul on saturday well since this kind of event is so new it's rather difficult to predict how the four of that is going to shape out while have a listen to what the. spokesperson dmitri pascoe said about that on friday fronts in germany had participated in discussing serious problems and do it different from the issue of the days to reconcile different formats in order to synchronize which is negotiate and to attempt to identify common topics it is hard
5:21 am
to say right away what subjects will be touched upon it will be the first discussion of this kind well if this wasn't specific enough we can look at the things the turkish media are reporting on and according to them the things we're going to hear about today are the reconciliation in syria as a whole lot of attempts to preserve the zone and besides this efforts to hold elections in syria that's of course a difficult task. the return of displaced people and something else very important for the presence of kurds in northern syria once again on saturday washington is missing out but according to other reports in the media the french president emmanuel macron had a phone conversation with donald trump a little earlier and they're saying that the things that were said are the united states and france share the same security humanitarian and political objectives in

5:26 am
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on offer and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical of the i am timed to sit down and talk. prosecution will need to become almost. a full. court where you
5:27 am
push us off the thread you'll find somebody known to us you do i'm young i mean political pressure on the bill do i need him and conclude to know through security jennifer knows when to pull your hand on the business models used by american corporations. of lossing completely is sold on good mental disease as you use the controls key i know was not on the scene. the solution. lies up in association with. newton he saw some of those it is just simply his or deleting. an investigative documentary. ghost war on oxy.
5:28 am
hello america has or this is the castle report that's right you got the place right now time to get educated. says max we're going to talk about dead meat walking this is sears you and i have talked about this for many years because eddie lampert a hedge fund manager bought sears many years ago we need turned it into a hedge fund basically a private equity fund in which he extracted equity from sears for many years sears used to be one of the biggest manufacturer retail outlets in america perhaps the biggest for a while and now it is going to be no more dead meat walking why sirius will be liquidated bankruptcy can only restructure debts it cannot revive mutilated brands and bring back malt customers this follows the script of the brick and mortar meltdown of retailers that were bought by wall street and subsequently subjected to asset stripping and cost cutting which ruined what little was left of their brands mired down in survival mode those retailers failed to build
5:29 am
a vibrant online presence and fulfillment infrastructure as sales withered and losses ravaged the company debts became unmanageable but the bankruptcy of sears holdings as just so much richer and the restructuring in bankruptcy has a zero chance of succeeding for you have a response to that i want to show you this chart this is the store count which is on track to zero from two thousand and eleven down down down when eddie lampert there it is all sears kmart merger he was worth three to four billion dollars. jeff bezos at the time was worth approximately a billion dollars and i think he made the comment that they couldn't possibly compete for us down days is worth one hundred fifty two hundred sixty billion dollars and a lot of births net worth has dropped below a billion dollars. he was loud in the financial press as the new warren buffett and i remember that i made the comment at the time that this was not going to be
5:30 am
the case because warren buffett's empire is based on berkshire hathaway an insurance company which is the nuts way to make a lot of money if. just stay honest which is almost impossible new insurance or banking industry ninety nine percent are dishonest but warren buffett is just managed to stick to the knitting over there berkshire hathaway just crank out lots of money and then he uses those that cash to buy huge stakes in companies like coca-cola and apple computer etc and that's how he built is up already lampard tried to base is empire on a junk retailer and kmart retailer so fright from the get go i predicted this was would fail and i was correct more than that sears did have a huge brand name i remember getting the sears catalog growing up and this was so exciting and i would spend hours as a child going through the sears catalog and it was so mad.
