when you would know license to kill. villages villages the houses the mud houses. sometimes the dirtiest and the new season like. the. children country for profit. smile. it's a case of picture perfect as locals from a small english town are outraged the streets appear in a smear campaign against the us democrats and the midterm elections. precious space agency says
4:01 pm
a faulty sense of cause the failed rocket launch last month. in which the two man crew made a miraculous escape. and emotions run high in the white house over the world anti-doping agency's decision to reinstate russia visuals and the things cried and called for transparency claiming water has damaged clean sports. it's eleven o'clock here in moscow and you're watching all to international live from a studio with me in a day or two to welcome to the program. a small seaside town of just five thousand people in the u.k. has turned itself in the limelight for the wrong reasons pictured as a rundown suburbia by the us republicans and the reach of science twice named britain's most deprived area has become headline news before the mid-term elections
4:02 pm
in america are u.k. correspondent explains why. what links this essex seaside town to the upcoming us elections and insensitive political one hundred that's what miracles here in j week sounds an essex have been left fuming ofter a pro trump republican candidate for the senate for the state of illinois used a photograph of j. wick sands on his social media feed as an anti advertisement so the caption next to the photograph read only you can stop this from becoming a reality but the problem is the picture wasn't quite reality the image of j. week sounds that he used was taken several years ago and since then the local authorities have made quite a few improvements to the local area so the miracles they're all rather cross country to try to pocket america are and then you come to a cover of a walking usually different plane. when it is in america we don't remember
4:03 pm
for there right now see iraq every day in america are we here is just what sorry we could referee kamin use an old fart of africa. so i look you're going to look like this is bad news. a match normally should be used are going to put a good picture we got a bit of hostility with the camera down there is it kind of is do you guys feel a bit kind of burned by the negative press attention that you guys have heard yes because of the t.v. show that happened way before yeah nobody want to come study with it so you become a switch in people's faces just you know. with you know people don't like it they don't like you or the offending advice has now been removed and dr nick stella's spokesperson has issued an apology or cough an apology our intent was never to smear to town and to photo not known to us as j. wick sands in essex we never used a name for us it was an example of
4:04 pm
a town overburdened by poor governance which is exactly what we in our district are seeking to provide at every level back in two thousand and ten and two thousand and fifteen the government named the area as the most deprived in england in fact i was here to report on it at the time the time was thought up as a holiday resort for city dwellers back in the one nine hundred twenty s. these are all meant to be summer houses but because rents were so cheap people started living here all year round some parts of the town like tarmac roads street lighting or even pavements lost to shops that were here have been boarded up unemployment is rife in the town in fact sixty two percent of the people that live head to pend on welfare payments. and the town isn't exactly a luxury seaside resort it is still a deprived area and even the local authorities have been keen to stress that they
4:05 pm
have invested in new roads and new drainage systems could use more money there is some hesitation when you talk to the locals as well they don't want to talk to the cameras they've been burned before by. bad press and the key to tan the image of the town around some concede that they feared definitely use more investment but it's not up to politicians in america to judge their hometown one interesting suggestion came from the director of a documentary about j. which she said that dr nick stella should come over here and she could sherm around the town and so he can see for himself all the improvements that have been made i get the sense that the locals care would have won which are things to say to him. russian space agency says a sense of damage during assembly was responsible for an aborted soyuz rocket launch three weeks ago
4:06 pm
a two man crew was forced to evacuate and both the american and russian on board both men vacuously escaped unscathed the agency released a video from an on board camera which shows the rocket failure just two minutes into the flight. the crew was supposed to fly to the international space station where if and has more on the aborted space flight. it was an absolutely shocking news back then the first failure of this kind in the last thirty five years shortly after the incident a special high rent in commission was formed to investigate what went wrong with the sea use launch last month and today we're heard there burdick
4:07 pm
a sensor that is supposed to detect there a separation of the rocket stages a metal detail that big is to blame for the incident pictures were also released today showing that this detail was visibly deformed and it may sound like a technical failure but the commission concluded that the different mation happened at the time when the rocket was assembled and as we know it is done always manually so as one of the members of the commission told me answering my question this tragedy has a name and a last name is us free from its law enforcement agencies are investigating the matter i would prefer not to discuss that here we are investigating the technical aspect of the malfunction but of course someone is always responsible for the different mission of the center caused the peroration issues and eventually the rockets stagers bumped into each other and it's crippled the rocket and this is when they merge into system reacted automatically by suppurating the crew capsule
4:09 pm
russian cosmonaut and an american astronaut the crew members of that flight came back safely to earth in that capsule and they are in good condition and their health was not a fact and as we hear from russia's space agency was also missed their flight is shaping for next spring so approximately next march they will fly to the international space station but even before that there will be another manned flight from baikonur that is shed yule for december third. three to eight boys have been killed in an israeli air raid on the border between israel and the gaza strip after another week of clashes the funerals of the victims were held on tuesday with relatives gathering in gaza city families of three hundred victims claimed they were only in the area to set nets to capture responding to these reports the israeli army claimed the boys behavior was suspicious. troops spotted
4:10 pm
a squad of three suspects approaching the border under the cover of darkness in a crouched in suspicious manner the three operates in a way that was identical to previous incidents in which terror operatives had placed explosive devices in the same location. it got reaction from both sides on this latest incident to. take three young boys who unfortunately were killed but they were clearly approaching an open fire zone that had been established by hamas six months ago families and close associates of those victims the children victims to media outlets that there were children were doing a routine work over a teen activity simply putting traps for bait for bears so if i was a parent i wouldn't let my child anywhere near that border fence and the only reason that they were near that hostile border fence is to either cut the fence or plant explosives or kill or kidnap israelis it's the only reason there is no other
4:11 pm
logical reason from the be there the israel is always acclaimed as. targets he really ns well in fact many see really and have been victims for is really are we actions as throughout the region the i.d.f. the israel defense forces is the only army in the middle east and i would argue one of the only our music is the only army in the world that has multiple layers of confirmation before it issues open fire orders on anybody the latest incident in which a three policy to children were killed in the border. was part of the of this repeated this story by the israeli army terms of the buffer zone israel has been lecturing the buffaloes on this comes actually against the well of the people who live in this these areas especially the farming community. for the past seven months palestinians have been holding weekly demonstrations as part of the so-called great march of return along the israeli border well until hundred palestinians died
4:12 pm
4:13 pm
a very clear and focal stand against the world watchdogs decision to reinstate russia earlier this year the number of athletes a t.v. pleas for the sport to be cleaned up while accusing russian competitors of stealing their medals alexy picks up the story not every day you would see tears shed inside the white house but that was the case with the emergency summit of several national anti-doping agencies which actually looked like a on the ground meeting of rogue revolutionaries in this case the u.s. anti-doping agency the u.k. anti-doping agency a bunch of very famous athletes convene at the white house to discuss what is recent decision to reinstate the russian anti-doping agency in its rights and to talk about the future of clean sport interested me enough but the world anti-doping agency claims it was not even invited to that meeting if water president athletes or others that were supportive of the decision had been invited they would have been able to bring perspective to the debate to explain why the decision to reinstate rosado was the right one for
4:14 pm
a clean sport the head of usada travis tygart denounced those accusations said that in fact the vice president of water was there but the overall language he was at that summit can give you a very clear idea of how toxic and political the fight against doping has become why does leadership along with the i.o.c. are increasingly isolated with athletes and public opinion they need to wake up and smell the coffee step out from their ivory tower because athletes are demanding change and change is coming. the president of water sir craig reedie was having a symposium all with someone in london and he was asked the question whether there was any rift among the anti-doping watchdogs worldwide and he gave a very indefinite answer to that one government voted against the recommendation one. and one of steamed. the people that we hear from most often on a pretty selective group not of government the pretty selective group of national
4:15 pm
anti doping organizations and as you see they heard him reach. now what does this select group have any leverage on the situation of course you would expect the head of the u.s. anti-doping agency to use trump's method some may say it's blackmail in this situation that's exactly what he did speaking about the budget u.s. contributes the biggest amount of money to what is annual budget more than two million dollars the u.k. about nine hundred thousand dollars and travis tygart hinted that this budget may be pulled so it's about three million dollars of thirty four annual money that water has in its possession now you may ask yourself what's the bone of contention here obviously the world anti-doping agency's decision to reinstate. its full rights as part of the world anti-doping family on september twentieth the headlines were vicious and there still are vicious some media are in total frenzy about that decision but the president of water craig really the recipient of biggest criticism following that decision spoke about that about his decision in london today. how
4:16 pm
can you just great deal to find right public pleas to the russian authorities i copied not lecture to all of my community cian given shot just. two conditions we will declare a result of complying and then we get a letter from russia. and the executive committee. commented on it and a member of fifteenth water will gather for a big executive meeting in and they are there by johnny capital of baku and that's where we're expecting the fists will be flying high with sports and politics coming very close down the finish line. r.t. reporting from moscow. to ellis cashmore a former sports media lecturer he says taping is a worldwide problem that russia is being made the fall guy it's politics. anybody who knows anything about doping in sport knows that doping goes on in every country in the world where there are professional sports well russia is the fall guy here
4:17 pm
russia has been a convenient scapegoat and all the evils of the doping have been conducted over the past few years americans who have lost out on medals over the years on are complaining about this that and the other with that naming any specific culprits but what they're saying is that wada has being too soft on russia basically awarded is an organization that was seen to be working in there not specifically their interests but in the world of sports interests but now seems to be a part of this intersection of politics and sport in other words what they have tried to retell the position of independence from all this but whether they like you or not they have been dragged into a political route i've been a big critic of war there are not a of the past couple of years so let's get that out of the way first of all but i'm
4:18 pm
now being a little bit more sympathetic than i usually am because it seems to me that what is damned if it does damned if it doesn't. a few months ago before it to reinstate resigned of the russian anti doping agency it was really getting hit in the neck because people were saying well hang on you know you have this report that you basing all your job or you were decisions and justifications that those decisions aren't that it's the mclaren report and it isn't transparently clear what evidence that kyron has gathered over the past several years so i thought i was amongst the critics who were attacking wide it for its lack of transparency now wider has done what i consider the right thing readmitted russia back into world sport. and so americans are starting to grab all that it's too soft particularly
4:19 pm
soft on russia. it's news on on it going after the peace talks between the taliban and the u.s. over the war in afghanistan five new representatives named by the militant group to tell the talks are all previous inmates of kuantan m obey two governors one minister a former commander and a deputy intelligence chief were previously held in the u.s. run potential camp they will all exchange for u.s. army sergeant bowe bergdahl a taliban prisoner in twenty fourteen they've been posted to the taliban's office in doha for negotiating an end to war with the u.s. and its allies which has lasted since two thousand and one a spokesperson for the group told r.t. that if the u.s. wants negotiations to be successful it has to change its strategy first. negotiations are at a low level an issue stage this is because the americans are opposite side are fighting against as if the other side will be honest in the negotiations and really
4:20 pm
change their strategy from fighting to negotiating then i'm sure we will reach a high level and there might be a good result despite seventeen years of war against the two. about insurgency its position in afghanistan has remained solid just overhaul of the afghan population lives in areas outside government control with about forty one percent of people under taliban rule that's according to a new study made by the foundation for defense of democracy but we're joined live now by afghan journalist sally latif a science for coming on to the program ali. what do you make of the taliban's. decision for the negotiators and how do you think the u.s. will view this move considering that possed. well i think the us will you know they'll have to accept them because the truth is if you're talking about who has been negotiating you know all of these figures have been controversial figures and they've had us they've had to have how do you support him
4:21 pm
being there and being allowed in doha and i think donald trump is very eager to figure out some way out of the on barbed wire so you know if they had any kind of a protest they would have expressed that by now and the other thing we have to remember is that within the current government there are former communists who are complicit in the soviet occupation there are warlords and in kabul you know we do have former taliban that are living in this city that have renounced the group but that still you know may or may not have ties to to the group who have been living in kabul so you know we've seen these kinds of things happening over the last forty years where these controversial figures are coming back in sorts of efforts to i guess reconcile them with the government i mean it's a particularly odd situation though isn't it because you know these five men look old the hardest of the hardcore taliban at one point and you know the fact that
4:22 pm
they were. prisoners and now they are in that position of negotiating with the very people who put them there it's a strange situation indeed isn't it. i think it's a strange situation that explains the last forty years very well as i said you know we have former communist sitting within our government these people that were again complicit in the in the soviet occupation are now working in a u.s. backed government right we have a war lords who are accused of any number of human rights abuses any number of alleged war crimes who are sitting within the government who have ran for president who have held the ministries who have. you know sat in the parliament so again it may seem odd on the surface in reality it's exactly what's been going on over the last forty years i mean the taleban spokesperson he said the u.s. should stop fighting before the negotiations. is this possible in your opinion
4:23 pm
and if it is possible she saw happen. i think i think for this to happen it has to happen both ways now as much as the talabani is could be correct in their statement in saying that. you know if the u.s. wants to i want to get real about negotiations they have to end the war the fighting but at the same time the taliban has to do the same thing we saw in the last in the first ever cease fire which came after. the last either kurbaan three day cease fire we saw that the taliban were able to lay down their arms were able to come into the cities were embraced by the people and i remember after a happened a friend of mine who works in the office of the chief executive he said you know what this proves is that the afghan war could end in fifteen minutes if both sides agreed to it we saw that there was some level of a change but again now the following. what they called the following ceasefire that
4:24 pm
the government asked for was rejected by the taliban so again this is an issue that has to go both ways so both the government and their u.s. backers have to you know limit the fighting or and the fighting and the taliban has to do the same thing i mean you've just described you know it has to be a two way process the taliban spokesperson they've said that negotiations are only at an early stage at the moment what do you think is needed in addition for things to move forward positively you said fifteen minutes or so it would take but actually physically practically what's going to need to happen. practically what's going to need to happen is that you know the taliban has governments backing them and supporting them you know thought so we have to figure out what to do with pakistan and their support we have to figure out whether you're on is doing with the taliban we have to figure out what russia's doing with the taliban and we have
4:25 pm
to figure out a way to ensure that these governments will allow the taliban to come to the negotiating table and at the same time the u.s. has to be willing to because at the end of the day since two thousand and nine since two thousand and ten all the taliban has been saying is we want to sit directly with the americans we want the u.s. government to sit with us and negotiate directly so the u.s. government has to be willing to negotiate directly and to really come to terms with what the taliban want and the told want have to be willing to come to terms with what the government and the u.s. wants and again as i said these three countries so a pox on iran russia something has to be done about their level of influence over the taliban ok we'll leave it there afghan journalist ali latif thanks very much for giving us an update on the situation there thanks. a series of crimes in the us linked by many to right wing politics are becoming the baseline topic in news
4:26 pm
coverage stateside and with just days to go until america's polarized public make their choice in the midterm elections the rhetoric is getting fiery one c.n.n. host is clear as to who he thinks poses the real terror threat you have to stop demonizing people realize the biggest terror threat in this country is. most of them radicalized to the right. don lemon's comments come after three recent hate crimes involving white suspects last saturday eleven jewish worshipers were massacred at a synagogue in pittsburgh in the same week two black people were killed in a shooting at a supermarket in kentucky and fifteen mail bombs were sent to high profile opponents of the u.s. president we had contrast and views from inside the u.s. from journalist julia rivera and political activist and singer rogers right. i think that mr levin was actually stating facts there are twice as many terrorist incidents from white right wing terrorists than those people who submit to al islam
4:27 pm
what they're saying right now saying that the majority of the country are terrorists pretty sure that if white men were the real problem in america we'd have a higher incident a higher rate of incidents with these types of terror attacks radicalized white people who are sending pipe bombs to people of the opposing party who just killed eleven jewish people who just killed two black people in kentucky because they couldn't get into a black church look at the resulting is deaths and look at the perpetrators d.n.a. and is doing everything they can to try to cast a negative light against anything trump in obviously the majority of the voting bloc in america is working class white men believe the incidents that are being painted are they are happy and are being painted as down from what is really not true people like don lemon are going to continue to perpetuate these false narratives in the hopes that maybe it can just prop people from what's actually
4:28 pm
going on in america which is a great thing right now economically number of people across all demographics including white latino and blacks in particular where black unemployment is a historic low bonds that were just sent did not kill anyone but they were still acts of terrorism and you can't deny that the person who was caught by the enemy ike was a donald trump supporter as a download from supporters and if we are being honest really but he is a registered out of there is there is still there is information he isn't he doesn't matter he's a goner i'd suck your dick right he's a god only if we didn't read his misallocations up a bunch of different ways you could sit there in julius sam and state that he specifically and donald trump supporter he was inspired to do that by donald trump we have to be honest about post reconstruction white terrorism against black people for not being honest about that we're not going. to get to the root of the problem white supremacy founded the united states of america white supremacy exists in the united states of america and white supremacy is rising across the world called don
4:29 pm
lemon said this is just a further and a continuance of the division that was created in america under the ministration of barack obama. now in the meantime don't forget you can have a look at all our stories and website i thought it up come back at the top of the next hour with more on the first here not international it's the kaiser reports. oh goodness look beautiful that's what i don't know really well.
4:30 pm
in twenty forty you know bloody revolution to tikrit the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just go ahead i mean your list put video of freedom in the new bill is a split needle the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen . of those who took part in this today over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic.
