very wrong put become a lot of old people to use and that used to become greece is the milan is the group of. the leaders of turkey germany russia and france gather for a first of its kind summit in istanbul to thrash out a solution to the syria crisis with the conflict now into its final stage. i welcome it's just gone three pm here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now the u.s. justice department has named and charged the man suspected of sending a string of mail bombs to senior democrats fifty six year old sees a sale from florida was arrested after his fingerprints were found on one of the past sources since been revealed he had a number of previous convictions while the media has stressed his strong support for donald trump. 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 they are calling sign this is c.n.n. socks as well as a lot of other nonsense and there he is at 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 have a look then what we know about the suspect to see to say ok he already had a criminal record previously convicted eight times including for car theft and if found guilty of the attempted possible bombings he could face up to fifty eight years in jail among the targets of his thirteen packages were barack obama hillary clinton and also a c.n.n. donald trump has condemned the incident. 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. and i'm committed to doing everything in my power as president to stop it all the attempted bombings to highlight how polarized the u.s. has become head of midterm elections in just over a week's time this is confirmed by a new survey which found that eighty percent of americans do think that the country's greatly divided it is 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 also race relations and political activist christian must see it and told us there needs to be a concerted effort to 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 think that they have a way to respond and this is one example and 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 not. many in the u.s. to feel that divisions were any worse than some in the mainstream media and it should be 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 however recent polls are showing that more people are actually doubting the mainstream media's coverage of russia with more on this is kind of more pay. 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 russian bot 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 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 of millions of voices suddenly cried out to the sun this time so we decided to show these headlines to new yorkers let's see if they can spot the fake one are russian selling weaves on instagram. maybe it could be true it's also it's own street but let's hear the kremlin backed trolls use stars like emma watson to spread discord in the west. really it sounds. more real sound real the. russian bots promote guns after florida school shooting.

yes that sounds to sound real hate for the last jet i was actually spread by russian troll. fake i don't think now it's real i think this. is not a true headline trick question they're all headlines those are all real and what do you make of. that's crazy you tricked me i could believe the real headlines that doesn't mean they're real out of control. 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. there just trying to you know stir up some sort of. freeze for 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. new york. the european court of human rights has truth faming the prophet

mohammed forwards and side the limits all think set to speech the case a panel of judges reject an appeal from an austrian woman who'd been seeking to overturn a conviction for insulting islam. 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 protect and serve the legitimate aim of preserving religious peace in austria the woman only identified as held to 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 forty faming religious doctrines and a fine of nearly five hundred euro's to repeal on the grounds of free speech had earlier been rejected by the austrian courts we've got reaction to this story from the journalist and also from massoud she jarred a heat from the islamic human rights commission. this is about 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 as a muslim who will come to any sort of dialogue or discussion with any critic of islam as long as it is servile them to 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 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 become of a low people to use and abuse to become racist demonize a group of people 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 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 violence on the part of europeans to woods to what's muslims they are welcome in europe but they must remain end of private sphere look muslims will come in europe that is

there. a racist thing to say you know these are people who are part and parcel of what europeans say look what you mean no you're you're you're just saying we'll come off course or will come there they're all stricken people who are austrian and they've been austrian since two thousand of the year nineteen of that are six eight zero nine slim as an aria so they want to only say that they don't need you to work on them they belong to austria this is a language of exclusion this language of otherness 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 and another one for all that. despite the conflict in syria appearing to be in its final phase people in the water and country still have a long way to go before finding reconciliation that's why the leaders of france germany russia and turkey have gathered today in istanbul to discuss steps for

a peaceful resolution with more has it. what a lineup we've got here today on saturday truly impressive just after one pm local time here in stamboul we saw the plains of forest agel markel lot of our pows and finally emmanuel macron out to the is dabhol airport just like subway trains following each other at the station now we've never seen this kind of format before on the one hand we've got the countries that are trying to push for peace in syria through these so-called astern of process minus iran on the other hand germany france and turkey are some of the strongest nato players in europe and we cannot help pointing out that donald trump isn't going to be around in a stamboul on saturday well since this kind of event is something absolutely new

and of course we understand that there is always something special in the links between all these foreign leaders it is very hard to predict the format but we did hear something about it from the russian president's press secretary dmitri peskov fronts in germany had participated in discussing serious problems and are 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 to say right away what subjects will be touched upon it will be the first discussion of this kind. well if this wasn't clear enough i guess we can look at some of the things that the turkish media pointed out to according to them the things that will be brought up on saturday are the reconsolidation in syria as a whole albeit slowly besides this ways to preserve the do militarized zone in the in live province also another really tough task is to hold elections in syria plus

the return of the displaced people the refugees and there's another issue that's very important for the presence of kurds in northern syria just once again i want to point out that washington will not be here in this bowl but according to other media reports we heard that emmanuel macro on how to phone conversation with donald trump just a little bit earlier basically the result of this was some kind of common understanding that the united states and france share the same security humanitarian and political objectives in syria so the question is will manual macron become kind of donald trump them baster here and. very soon we will find that out now what you can see right behind me under the flags is the gates of the type aired on residence in stamboul this is the place where the leaders limos are coming in now as soon as i

found out at least something about the interactions between the four leaders i will let you know. there will be across that summit throughout the afternoon for you we're going to take a quick break we'll be back more nice and to me. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. they get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to be president. or something want to be preached. at you go right to be cross as a white woman for three of them or can't be good. interested falls in the waters of . their city. welcome back now one of the u.k.'s top universities has found itself at the center of a control of the sea after the head of its student union called for the removal of a hundred year old memorial honoring soldiers who fought in the first world war but more on the story his i'm seeing. 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 reason it features only white men mark my words we had taken downs a mural white man in the eunice 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 as idiotic as that this means that real issues then don't get discussed. i hope she will reflect 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 ruffin stein mural and 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 you would 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 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 i narrated you're writing. 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's not the right way that's denying i history i can accept that it's happened and maybe it wasn't right ever but it's not you can only rewrite for. many different people for just what many. times over your history if. the supposed white man who is for. the point of rhyme well i do hope that more people. on campus we'll be discussing it in greater depth. now with how do we. finds itself with to

job after a televised discussion about what is and what is not an acceptable. level what is racist because because this is truly what you do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on the halloween 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. 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 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 know of the girls what not a lot of black fulfillments to. me 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 them to open sky and see what they hear war on. there you are full of on another planet for the whole like 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. and that is the news for now this saturday afternoon we're back again at the top of the .

imax keyser with more of my guide to financial survival this is fun it's a device used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right these has flaws are simply not accountable and we're just adding more and more to them. totally destabilize that local economy you need to protect yourself and get informed what's guys are. trying has been coming up with a lot of statements saying that 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 incoming incoherences 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 post through so if you

go. see this is hotter than kentucky. over both of these moves the places you go three families or you. need. a co money city it was going to snow coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the coal miners have said. that it was love to see these people the survivors of disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was young. that is 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.

this is boom for us broadcasting all around the world and covering the world of business and finance the impact on all of us i'm part children washington thank you for joining us we're glad you're with us coming up today former united nations investor bill richardson joins us to talk about saudi arabia and unilateralism of pulling out of environmental and trade agreements and more plus rocky horner of simpler trading is back to talk commodities and oil and we also have my interview with raul guy i am the chief technology officer of guy a motor works in india they make the coolest electronics vehicles around you don't want to see this and we'll have our weekly global markup round up all that ahead let's go and i swear bush in this has told authorities of

a card tell related to the fixing of beer prices in india two years ago when a b. in bob bought s a b. miller p.l.c. for one hundred billion dollars a part of the purchase was for indian operations well officials noticed the cartel like activity and reported it to authorities last year the others reportedly complicit in the cartel are allegedly denmark's carlsberg and india's united breweries which is partially owned by heineken earlier this month indian authorities at the competition commission raided the office of the three breweries that have reportedly found evil evidence of the complicity amongst the cartel members the three brewers comprise roughly ninety percent of all beer sales in india which is about seven billion dollars annually it remains to be seen what will become of the investigation at this point much less any sanction or fines placed upon those found guilty of violations of indian competition law.

and we are now joined by former ambassador united nations bill richardson former governor and sort of world policy expert on men. we think mr ambassador thank you for joining us thank you nice to be with you ok so my former colleague a late and great edge schultz in may of last year when president trump made his first foreign for a two thousand year rabia you it's sort of said at that time you thought it was a basic zero sum tradeoff between national security and human rights and it was sort of a false choice but given your record and your expertise mr ambassador i have to ask you a question i'm sure everybody wants to know what do you make of the killing of jamal because shogi at the saudi consulate in bull and what does it mean for our future relations with saudi arabia. well i don't want to sound like a politician but but i will the saudi american relationship is very important

militarily energy wise diplomatically investment wise but the saudis committed a horrendous act with impunity in all the facts are not in but it's pretty clear there was complicity at the top so what do we do one we have to preserve the relationship you don't break the relationship but we have to take certain steps one i think these sanctions are fine but they're basically a slap on the wrist secondly i think we need to tell the saudis that you know this war in yemen is not going to well maybe put some brakes on that and then the last thing we do is i think this arms deal put it on hold get all the facts we can't just like slap sanctions on a few saudi dissidents that were i guess involved in this is sesame nation so i think this is a time for america's moral leadership you know we can recover these arms sales with others the saudis are not going to go to russia or china you know all the equipment

and their training is with us so i think this is a time to take a stand and mr ambassador when we look at what the u.s. has done what mr trump is. one president's done over the course of the time he's been there i mean it really is sort of a move to unilateralism whether or not it's pulling out of paris climate treaty or backing away from the transpacific partnership or pulling out of nafta and nafta two or whatever it is and and saying is you know nato is obsolete i mean just what do you make generally sir of this sort of blowback and unilateral ism well i you know i guess i'm a internationalist globalist like most democrats and republicans especially presidents of been so i'm very concerned about this also the poll out of the treaty with russia the arms control treaty although the russians were cheating what i would have done is stay in that treaty and make a better reformat but not pull out so i think america can't go it alone you know

this talk about a word national a sovereign country just where the whole world looks to the u.s. for leadership just doesn't make sense to me. i don't like what we're doing also in the trade front let's get china to act more properly when it comes to trade but what do you break the relationship when we need their help with north korea you know with russia we need to work together on energy on syria on ukraine on on so many other issues arms control going it alone is not going to work last question mr ambassador what do you make you mention the arms control agreement with russia you've noted there north korea and you what do you make of sort of all the bluster the tweets about fire and fury it you know it seems like a his former u.n. ambassador had to sort of be the quintessential guy behind.
