mid-term elections approaching things are getting intense across the united states bombs are being sent through the mail shootings are happening and talk of division is everywhere now in this context you would expect that american media would try to calm people down bring them together well not this time just turn on c.n.n. this president has radicalized so many more people than isis ever did the commentator has sense apologized but trump wouldn't be trumped if he didn't fire back there was a woman who was just on c.n.n. a short while ago saying that you have radicalized more people than isis that was c.n.n. tonight well let this be some kind of a sick woman that's media and politicians but entertainment is where americans go to relax maybe have a few good laughs but now a lot of comedians have found a new soapbox to stand on even a show that's about nerds with poor social skills is starting to put up anti trust messages. if you knew

a divine wisdom belief or fascist hate filled fan mongering demagogic truth shuttering will socratic govt cheeta is what we need right now then you know they will be done but if there was inclined to more freedom more love more compassion i submissively that though encouraged to turn out in that general direction h.b.o. comedian john oliver did a piece about state attorney generals there on the ballot in thirty different states come november for some reason he decided to criticize exclusively republican candidates across the country if you live in wisconsin just google brad she will tend thousand dollar coins and you'll learn about how your money is to spend ten grand of taxpayer money on coins reading. which stands for his actual personal motto kicking ass everytime. and music is now all about politics r. and b. star farrah williams is threatening to sue donald trump because trump supporters

were lou. his hit song happy while they were waiting for the president to come on stage it seems that some musicians would like to band the make america great again crowd for listening to their music if only they could for a row has not and will not grant you permission to publicly perform or the worries broadcast or disseminate any of his music paid campaign advertising in the united states is very closely regulated by law however it seems that a lot of american t.v. not just in news but also comedy shows celebrity gossip is taking sides in throwing punches no matter where you go in the united states you can't escape the great american divide caleb mop and archie new york. blud say or it was a report of one particular story that donald trump had actually recruited more terrorists than isis ok that was then met with an apology and the apology was then covered and then we covered the coverage of the apology and then whether the

coverage of the coverage of the apology of the first day was excessive so the media now are couldn't so mean our nose you see we talk about living in the bubble we lead to media we believe that everyone sees things the way we do that they care about things that we do it's for them sounds you think america cares you think somebody is going to say you know what i was going to vote for whatever but doggone it i watched the big bang theory and i i watched this one flash and i change my mind come on it's vanity license plate. meanwhile it looks like the republican party has lost its most high profile celebrity supporter stateside in a twitter round the rapper kanye west say yes he's been used for previously being linked to a campaign to convince our fricken americans to ditch support for the rival

democratic party in one tweets west said his eyes were no wide open he's distancing himself from politics it comes just a few weeks after west had a much publicized meeting with donald trump in the oval office in which he preys on the president but no he claims he's been used to spread messages he says he doesn't believe in. three clintons also facing a backlash after joking an african americans all look alike many suggested if it had been donald trump uttering the same line the art rage would of being greater she was correcting an interviewer who mixed up two democrat politicians. do you think of cory booker's and isn't coming to him in your kill file i don't know anything about him saying kick him in the shins essentially start to get to that kind of a little i was eric holder erica. i know they all look alike no they tell of the

hour well that. i made the joke. was trying to. trump. president i want to go with david duke and probably say david duke hillary clinton made the joke so some people think all the chinese look the same i mean that is pretty offensive yet one has a mustache one doesn't can't be that. it's not it's pretty insensitive. especially when it looks like it all. i still terrorists have gained territory in syria close to the border with iraq killing over forty eight u.s. fighters during an offensive there washington had previously claimed the cell was almost completely decimated as igor said on off explains. from all of the boasting you may have gotten the idea that muslim mixtape in syria is so two thousand and sixteen the coalition to defeat isis has liberated very close to one hundred percent of the territory we've got

a good job with those as we have just absolutely decimated isis but the latest carnage is a clear signal that the terrorists are not ready to buckle just yet they've squeezed every drop of profit from the victory they've been craving for so long from obvious territorial gains to a massive p.r. push they filmed their operation and spoils of war from all thinkable angles it seems even with reinforcements america's proxy ground force the kurds couldn't hold off the surprise onslaught hard fighting casualties down there both sides but will continue to go after them in the weeks ahead i saw the latest propaganda video even includes a not so subtle threat a skyline view. the government controlled town but hold on just how much of a surprise was this latest isola tag really sure they've moved in under the cover of a sandstorm but it's not like the kurds which are in charge of eastern syria didn't

know i still was on their porch they have been fighting terrorists in the area for a whole year but despite their best efforts to little success and that could be due to the fact that their effort has been dwindling gradually apart from i saw the kurdish fighters have been focusing on skirmishes with the syrian army and repelling the turkish operation against them in the north this plays into the yard as sounds perfectly since assad's forces are not going anywhere and neither is turkey as president erdogan te's the next phase of what he calls an anti terror operation in syria but don't use them as a unit we have started active intervention operations against the terror organization and the last couple of days we will soon come down hard on the terror organization with more extensive and effective operation it's the united states who also has been convincing the world it's hell bent on cleansing syria of terrorists yet years on it's their area of responsibility where i still strikes well with its

bloodiest attack in months and i wonder could it be because american troops are in fact miles away from all the action we don't have a counter iran mission here we have the feed isis mission that competition between all these forces allows for is to play back and forth every surrounding the neighbor of syria including the syrian government that have had other enemies fighting other concerns isis is always time number two it's a difficult problem it's also a divided home number two it's a difficult problem it's also a divided syria because. you have a border region where you rocks on one side the syrian the democratic forces on the other backed by the united states and a syrian army backed by russia and iran are on the other there are many players in the syrian conflict and all of them are hungry for geopolitical bounty in syria and

writing off early means risking another wave of terrorist resurgence igor shit on the off with the report well elsewhere in syria tensions are wrapped it is are a protest at a local election in the golan heights said disputed territory between syria and israel dozens of locals denounced the vote as illegal and promised really. i.d.f. soldiers used tear gas to break up demonstrations when crowds tried to block the entrances to polling stations in several villages many people living in the israeli occupied area have refused to take up israeli citizenship and consider at themselves syrian it is the first local election since israel took control of the golan heights in one nine hundred sixty seven really government approved the poll

last year after an appeal from its really villagers. nato is holding its largest military exercise since the end of the cold war the drills kicked off last week stretch from the baltic sea to iceland military forces from thirty one countries are involved in the fortnight long maneuvers with over fifty thousand personnel two hundred fifty ft and sixty five ships taking part in the alliance has even made its own video guide to norway where a large part of the exercises are being held. this is some things you need to know about norway. that i love morning. the symbol of peace through a new year and we have. is a region where something more to eat on the beach and it's everything. well while

the drills focus on restoring the region's sovereignty after an attack by a quote fictitious aggressor the capital replenishment one of its core supply.

after over three years of a devastating war in yemen the united states has called on saudi arabia to stop its bombing campaign there the u.n. has described the situation in yemen as the worst humanitarian crisis in modern history washington say both sides must stop the strikes on saudi arabia should cease its fire on populated areas the u.s. defense secretary expects peace talks to start next month we believe well according to a just released study the saudi intervention in yemen has tamed fifty six thousand lives in the past two years say it is working hard to reduce civilian casualties.

however neither for concern for yemeni citizens nor the murder of a saudi journalist working for the washington post well are enough to stop the united states from building on its lucrative weapons contracts with saudi arabian political science professor calling cavil see if the u.s. has no interest in sanctioning the saudis or ending yemen's war. something has triggered this and the only thing possible is that it has to do with. this is more of a message to saudi arabia that what the u.s. is going to do is this law mohammad that's all other was the u.s.

they have to. sanction i would doubt that they're going to in this conflict because if they really wanted the interest they could just kind of sending weaponry to saudi arabia well. so i mean it's one of you. an independent movement on the arabian peninsula i think what they're trying to do is buy just lud. and then they will restart the war in a different way. with more u.s. . guidance. hundred self luxury cars up in flames and devastating floods it's been a tough twenty four hours for italy as are two reports after this break.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to be rich. but you going to be close it's like them before three of them or ten people. interested always in the water. seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to see palin just become educated and engaged me because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

and. welcome back to the program a fracking company in britain is calling for rules on gas exploration to be relaxed the spy the string of tremors resulting from its drilling activities operations resumed earlier this month after a seven year ban over safety concerns picking up the story for us this hour here. what happens when a company's just been given the right to start shale gas extraction but tiny earthquakes keep getting in the way that's the situation in lancashire in the north

of england where energy company quadrille are off to months of legal wrangling and protests. started commercial exploratory fracking two weeks ago since then there are already been two so-called microseismic events microseismic enough to hold drilling twice. the boss of course driller has the government should just relax the rules and allow

the company doing the fracking to frack on even after larger tremors because all the reports of seismic activity are scaring people it may well be that we have reached that time not only for the u.k. show gas industry but also to address the concerns of local people who are becoming increasingly worried by reporting of tiny movements in the earth which occur thousands of times across the u.k. every day as if they were harmful so here's how the traffic light monitoring system works right now think of it as the government's dangerous scale for shale gas extraction anything i have a nor point five on the richter scale is classed as a red light event and means an immediate suspension to drilling so drill no once the red light event to be anything starting from two. two point zero on the richter scale environmentalists aren't so sure where could reduce fracking at the moment it's a worrying situation and it seems to be going very

slowly and cautiously as they should. if you if you then put that over. ground or terrain that's already been historically weakened significantly by a historic coal extraction concious consequences could be very devastating. and that effectively covers the entire bottle and a half of the fracking licenses in this country and that's where the real problem is. the fracking fam has reasons to be hopeful though over the summer the u.k.'s energy minister said that the current monitoring system is cautious and could be adjusted on puts but the government came to prove that its policy of supporting shale gas extraction is bearing fruit a change in the safety threshold could mean christmas coming up for the fracking

recognizes that the tariff moved in the name of fair trade in the name of security is more from a change of america's strategic position then it is about trade this idea of a read examining a bilateral relationships and redetermine and of these sort of historical relationships and trump is basically blowing them apart and the world is creating a new order where the u.s. is not the central figure and i think you know these so small but powerful moves by they. and other international communities is a clear sign that it's moving shifting away from the u.s. as the primary axis of power. live from moscow every hour of the today you're watching or to international more great programs begin in moments and then to join me again if you can and thirty minutes for the mid week headlines .
