5:02 pm
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 jay weeks sans 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 our walking and you see the different plane. is in america we don't leave room or for the right now i was iraq and everything america are here is just what we can come in use and of africa. so look your town is going to look like this is the bad news. and much noise you should know used or will use are going to
5:03 pm
put a good picture we got a bit of hostility with the camera down there is it kind of is it is do you guys feel a bit kind of burned by the negative press attention that you guys have heard yes because it's a t.v. show that happened way before yeah i know you want to come study with so you become a sticks in people's faces just you know. with you know people don't like you they don't like you or the offending advice has now been removed. and dr nick stella's spokesperson has issued an apology or call for an apology our intent was never to smear to town and to photo not known to us as j. week sands in essex we never used a name for us it was an example of 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
5:04 pm
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 search 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 we 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. on 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 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 they're keen to
5:05 pm
turn the image of the town around some concede that they could 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 show him around the town and so he can see for himself all the improvements that have been made i get the sense that the locals have. there would have one or two things to say to him. precious space agency says a damaged sense responsible for an aborted sized rocket launch three weeks ago the two man crew was forced to eject and both the american and russian on board were unharmed the agency released a video from an on board camera which is a rocket failure just two minutes into the flight.
5:06 pm
the crew was supposed to fly to the international space station area for national 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 rank and commission was formed to investigate what went wrong with the sea use launch last month and today we're heard their verdict a sensor that is supposed to detect there in a support ration 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
5:07 pm
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 free from its law enforcement agencies are investigating the matter i would prefer not to discuss that here we are investigating the technical aspects of the mouth function 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 this is a shuttle to be doing is showing what exactly happened.
5:08 pm
a 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 going to fact and as we hear from british space agency was also missed their flight is shaping for next spring so approximately the next morning they will
5:09 pm
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 teenage boys have been killed in an israeli air raid on the gaza border after another week of clashes their funerals of the victims were held on choose day with relatives gathering in gaza city families of three thousand victims claimed they were in the area set nets for catching birds responding to these reports the israeli army claimed the boy's behavior was suspicious troops spotted 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 we got reaction from both sides on this latest incident in gaza. take three young boys who unfortunately were killed
5:10 pm
but they were clearly of pro ching in open fire zone that had been established by hamas six months ago families and close associates of those victims the children victims of two 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 logical reason from the be there the israel is always to claim the. 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
5:11 pm
confirmation before it issues open fire orders on anybody the latest incident in which a three policy that children were killed in the i. was part of the of this repeated this story by the israeli army terms of the buffer result israel has been electing the buffaloes on this comes actually against the well of the people who lead in this these areas especially the farming community. for the past seven months palestinians have been holding weekly demonstrations as a part of the so-called great march of return along the israeli border more than two hundred palestinians have died during the protests but thousands injured here's a reminder of how it's been unfolding.
5:12 pm
antidoping chiefs and athletes have been meeting at the white house in a very clear and focal stand against the world watchdogs decision to reinstate russia and this year a number of athletes t.v. pleas for the sport to be cleaned up while accusing russian competitors of stealing their metals 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
5:13 pm
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 as recent decision to reinstate the russian anti-doping agency in its rights and to talk about the future of clean sport interesting 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 a clean sport the head of usada try to start denounce those accusations said that in fact the vice president of one. i 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 wilders leadership along with the i.o.c. are increasingly isolated with athletes and public opinion they need to wake up and
5:14 pm
smell the coffee step out from their ivory tower because athletes are demanding change and change is coming. the president of water circle a greedy 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 abstained. the people we hear from most often on a pretty short length of group not of government are pretty selective group of national and you drop an organisation and there's usually they're going to meet you . now what does this 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
5:15 pm
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 has decision to reinstate. in 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 so craig reedie the recipient of biggest criticism following that decision spoke about that about his decision in london today. how can you describe. do you find writing 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 compliant and then we get a lecture from russia. and the executive committee.
5:16 pm
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. and everything to end is castoff on the sports and media electra says they're playing is a worldwide problem that russia has been at the fall guy as politics begins to creep him 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 russia has been a convenient scapegoat and all the evils of the of 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 without naming any specific culprits
5:17 pm
but what they're saying is that water has being too soft on russia basically but water is an organization that was seen to be working in there it was 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 retain 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 on r.t. of the past couple of years so let's get that out of the way first of all but i'm now being a little bit more sympathetic than i usually am because it seems to me that while it is damned if it does damned if it doesn't. a few months ago before it agreed to reinstate reside at the russian antidoping agency it was really getting it in the neck because people were saying well hang on you know you have this report that you
5:18 pm
basing all your job or you were decisions and justifications for those decisions out there is the mclaren report and it isn't transparently clear what evidence the current 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 americans are started to grab all that it's too soft particularly soft on russia. there's news on ongoing efforts at 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 that all previous inmates of contango mowbray two governors one minister a former commander and a deputy intelligence chief were previously held in u.s.
5:19 pm
run to tonsil camp they were all exchanged for u.s. army sergeant bowe bergdahl a taliban prisoner in twenty fourteen they've now 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 quick told r.t. that if the us wants negotiations to be successful it has to change its strategy first negotiations are at a low level initial stage this is because the americans are opposite side are fighting against us if the other side will be honest in the negotiations and really 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 taliban in afghanistan the militant group is still going strong just over half of the afghan population lives in areas outside government control with about forty one percent of people
5:20 pm
under taliban rule that's according to a new study made by the foundation for defense of democracy afghan journalist alley latif feet believes that all sides need to make concessions. deal was we'll 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 they've had to have how do you are supported in being there and being allowed into ha and i think donald trump is very eager to figure out some way out of the on so you know if they had any kind of a protest they would have expressed that by now as much as the talabani is could be correct in their statement in saying that if the u.s. wants to i want to get real about negotiations they have to end the war fighting but at the same time the taliban has to do the same thing we saw in the first ever cease fire three day cease fire we saw that the tall one were able to lay down
5:21 pm
their arms were able to come into the cities were embraced by the people and i remember after what happened a friend of mine who works in the office of the chief executive he said you know what this proves is that there are boring war could end in fifteen minutes if both sides agreed to it. a series of crimes in the us linked by many to right wing politics becoming the baseline topic in news coverage stateside and that's just days to go until america's plagiarised public make their choice in the midterm elections the rhetoric is getting fiery one say then host is clear as to who he thinks poses the real terror threat. have to stop demonizing people realize the biggest terror threat in this country is why most of them radicalized to the right. don lemon's comments come off the three recent hate crimes involving white suspects last saturday and levon jewish worship has been massacred at a synagogue in pittsburgh and the same week black people account in a shooting at
5:22 pm
a supermarket in kentucky and fifteen mail bombs i sent to high profile opponents of the u.s. president we had contrast to some inside the u.s. from genest and jeanne have a very and political activist unstained bunch is right. i think that mr levin was actually stating facts there are twice as many terrorist incidents from white right wing terrorists and those people who submit to al islam what they're saying right now is saying that the majority of the country are terrorists i'm 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 result things deaths and look at the perpetrators d.n.a. and is doing everything they can to try to cast
5:23 pm
a negative light against anything trump in obviously the majority of the voting bloc in america is working class white men please incidents that are being painted they're having now 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 brok people from what's actually going on in america which is a great thing right now economically numbers for people across all demographics including white latino and blacks in particular where black unemployment is a historic low bombs 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 i was a donald trump's up. or is a down which from supporters and if we are being honest really but here's a regimental note about it all there is there is there is information that he doesn't matter because i don't like your work right either god only if we can read
5:24 pm
his minutes alyosha's up a bunch of different ways you can sit there in julie's them 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 lemon said this is just a further and a continuance of the division that was created in america under the eight year old ministration of barack obama's. and the meantime don't forget you can have a look at all our stories on our web site that's not a i'll come back at the top of the hour with more but first tail on r.t. international time for a documentary called game of thrones. oh
5:25 pm
