you. there. are big stories this. mayhem following this week's election president trumped. up the media blaming it for division in the us also ahead. chaos in the german city of hamburg. with a heated protest. opposition to multiculturalism and growing support for a war or a terry in rule amongst germans. don't agree with it at all and i hope that the

majority doesn't. see the people. investigative committee. after pictures of a convicted gang member living life in prison are online. ten am here in moscow this thursday november the fifth welcome to our to international my name o'neill our top story. once again the media blaming it for division within the united states of course as the u.s. congress is split between america's two major parties the democrats seizing the representatives the republicans keeping. hold on the senate. isn't good

what the media is doing and that i do have the right to fight back on the campaign trail you called yourself a nationalist some people saw that as emboldening white nationalist that such a racist question i would never do that and i don't use race and remarks. like in america it's people like this that cause division one of the statements that you made in the telling of the campaign there we go honestly i think you should let me run the country you run c.n.n. and if you did it well your ratings are. going to ask one of the other folks that said. this person that's enough was president the other folks that said. you are a rude terrible person. those are present in go ahead of me to go in jim's defense i traveled with him and watched him he's a diligent reporter i'm not a great fan of yours either so i understand to be honest about it what many have dubbed the midterms a referendum of trump's presidency and it seems he's passed the test with the

republicans maintaining their senate majority will explain what out of all means let's tick a check in in america hears kill a puppet. so which party won the epic midterm battle for control of the u.s. congress well if you listen to both sides they both won and last night the republican party defied history to expand our senate majority to found the story of the constitution's checks and balances do the job. nancy pelosi has got plenty of reason to be happy she just got her job back as speaker of the house the first time the democrats have had a majority in the house of representatives in eight years they can now launch an investigation spree into donald trump and block all kinds of legislation but you would think they would have won a bigger blowout after all they are running against the new hitler who happens to also be a russian spy you can go for nationalism you can go for anger opposite of hitler

the same type of propaganda that you would have seen in germany in one thousand and thirty eight these comparisons to trump it's like it bums me out but trump will be outmatched by putin and i have never seen an american president simply surrender to the leader of russia we call it soccer now the donald is far from a media darling lots of media criticism and pressure and his losses weren't so bad when compared to his recent predecessors he not only maintained control of the senate but the republicans actually picked up a few seats so do lots of americans just like hitler and russian spies well perhaps they were just watching a different channel twenty seventeen was a very successful first year for president trump unlike obama business confidence is now soaring on the president trump in fact the news is so good so the vote was described as a referendum on the donald so what's the verdict well the voters seem to have

stayed within one of two echo chambers there is one echo chamber that loves the donald and the other that hates him the country is divided and now. congress along with it definitely the us media and the political parties have definitely created more divisiveness and more friction between. between the parties as well as within the we can move society itself and i think the media is largely to blame there are . sometimes leaking information that should not be leaked sometimes. twisting the story a different way than that shouldn't be too it's good though because sometimes just falsely claiming something that's not correct enough substantiated so i think we've got. we've got a media and also elements within the government better actually creating within the u.s. government that are actually creating more of a device the. atmosphere within the population meanwhile the government's top

lawyer resigned from his position on the request of the president former u.s. attorney general jeff sessions had earlier recused himself from the probe into alleged russian interference in the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election jeff sessions will be replaced by his former chief of staff matthew with who has pushed for a limited inquiry democrats have already lost out a trump accusing him of trying to derail the investigation into the alleged collusion political scientists call an s. cavil give us his faults and how the change will impact on the probe. well the miller investigation which is based upon democratic assertions. into vineyard with the twenty sixteen presidential election few democrats brought up during the midterm gameplay and i think it is very much did in the water right now and list mueller comes out in the next week or two with some

sort of regulatory findings but so far they have been no real revelent or your findings nothing. directly implicates russia interfering in the twenty sixteen elections. sitting on two more world news this hour moscow is trying to get warring parties to negotiations playing host to afghan peace talks on friday a dozen countries are invited and the taliban is also sending a delegation it's the first time the militant group will take part in this kind of high level meeting after almost two decades of war in afghanistan but i guess the of dellums into not everyone has welcomed the talks. by any measure the afghan war has dragged on for too long too many people the dead too little achieved

too much hatred bred why don't try something new this is a very good opportunity and we would like to participate and raise our genuine issues we would urge these world powers to help resolve the afghan issue as per international laws and principles the afghan high peace council will send four delegates the taliban five reportedly representatives of a dozen nations have also been invited and it couldn't have happened soon enough. on just one day the twentieth of october a jury elections three hundred and eighty eight civilians one in a plethora of attacks so no wonder that even nato is calling for peace the taller from must understand that to continue the fight is pointless they must sit down on the negotiating table the potential for peace is great in our interest

being in many years unless of course peace is made in moscow in which case the u.s. won't support it america is skipping the moscow peace summit saying washington only supports afghan led efforts but it will send an observer the united states believes that all countries should support direct dialogue between the government of afghanistan and the taliban to reach an end to the war and. we've been clear that no government clued in russia can be a substitute for the afghan government interact negotiations with the taliban wave which never stopped the u.s. special envoy from meeting taliban officials in cata last month for direct negotiations i think the more countries that approach the afghan government and the

taleban and all the warring parties and say let's talk let's have peace rather than war that's a very logical thing for most people and for most countries i just don't think in the united states the united states at this particular time wants to see it also the military industrial complex in the united states is a very very big part of the us economy the guns and the planes and the ships and the bombs that they use and sell all around the world support a lot of jobs in the united states i don't think that the war is in general or going to end if they can do some maneuver to make a better situation for the united states in afghanistan they are probably talking about that and would like to see that seventeen years of war and terror is nato soldat countless thousands dead on each every side generation's fed and

misery and violence drunken hatred and the heroin finally the taliban agrees to open talks it's a huge deal ed the us possum's war it seems is preferable to peace that comes with russian help. ok we turn our attention this hour to germany or riot police helping a point in the northern port city of hamburg where hundreds of protesters have been rallying for on against uncle merkel's micro policies. i was so right wing groups called a rally to denounce merkel's open door policy which has seen over a million people into the country since the height of the migrant crisis in twenty fifty they were met with country demonstrators who attempted to block their arrival

at a railway station here leading to a heated standoff with police. many germans have voiced support for markel stepping darren from her role as chancellor as early as next year but she says she wants to see it through to the end of her term that would be twenty twenty one so a forseeable a difference there america won't be seeking reelection after that after really a series of disastrous results for her party in regional elections and our growing number of germans say they prefer a more or third tarion leader artie's europe correspondent peter all over reports new polling into the political leanings of germans has raised more than a few eyebrows eighty percent of those polled said they favored dictatorship is the ruling form for the country with eleven percent saying they would side with strong leadership now i spoke to people on the streets of berlin they were shocked that anyone here would hold those type of ideas. it's terrible we've been through that

in history what do i think about those this is our past this is our past it cannot be allowed to become our future i don't agree with that at all and i hope that the majority doesn't this is the this is auschwitz i pin aegis in one thousand nine hundred sixty two. this has been present in germans for a long time this is just a consequence of that it doesn't surprise me because because. i see the people. well i think this is everyone's personal choice may be the refugee crosses slightly . that may have impacted some people's opinions the government has to make something so that the country is led into a better better place in order to worse place than it is already. all right switching gears now are a russian fleet without any arms has taken gold in this category and the european

let's start back with another headline stories this hour authorities in russia have launched a probe after pictures of a convicted gang member using luxury food in prison were linked online the gangster dubbed the lowest of the low was jailed for participating in a brutal murder in southern russia eighteen years ago. there can be few things more wretched than mass murdering people including children in cold blood this man was part of a gang that did it all on an avenger night eight years ago and then feasting on crowd and caviar and throwing barbecue parties while in prison bitches love to pervert is one of the most new tourists russian criminals and he's serving a twenty year sentence.

because certainly they're going to be committing dozens of felonies and extremely serious crimes inclusion of school is more than ten years. to believe. nobody in the. bullshit fugitives of the system knew. the photos of his not very prison lee lifestyle that recently emerged are causing shock the mobster's law it claims it's all photoshop so no reason for anger but officials confirm the pictures are real across the board outrage forced russia's federal prison service to comment on the photos though its reaction has been far more reserved than the sweeping public indignation. can you see it might be hard to avoid corruption in remote areas especially for

a criminal who teams up with officials is insanely rich in the wake of the investigation several prison employees have been disciplined it's not exactly clear why and how the pictures became public but one of the versions is that the mobsters ex-wife had something to deal with it the convicted murderer is apparently in a land dispute with her yes while still in prison technically it cost up to fifty thousand dollars a year. to support my ex husband's life in prison i transferred him the money then he had an intermediary who helped him buy food and find a dentist and he paid well for that he also asked for money for me god and then he set up in prison the national investigative committee has launched a probe overt so looking into how on a mass murderer has been able to go which is way through his prison term not least because he is not the only bandit with money and power in russian prisons.

ok a lot of lines being written on our next story a lot of focus on social media to egypt say it may ban the burka in public quoted any time under any circumstances under a new draft law lawmakers say both male and female terrorists are using the full body fail to avoid detection we are currently in an ongoing war against terrorism we should do our best to and did the veil or is used by many people as a cover for the crimes that they are committing it's not part of personal freedom as some say well if you put this in a european context seven e.u. states have already barred the covering in public sparking heated discussion the un human rights committee has even ruled that france's bun constitutes a violation of human rights earlier my colleague farmer gauge the pinion on the issue with historian adel darwish political and social commentator morons are. when

it comes to the clock at the idea that we would limit a woman's right to replace fail if she so chooses part a spiritual journey she'd been taught to do that is a freedom it isn't actually for democracy it isn't observing human rights they have been they have been actually instances in egypt and elsewhere where actually men pretending to be women and so it's for security and i think face veils and the burka are no more as a small piece of material i threaten national security as underpants are we had an underwear bomber who tried to detonate a bomb in his pants we had a shoe bomber who tried to detonate a bomb or he's sure you describe actually hypocritical and double standard to actually suggest that it's actually i don't think anybody i think anybody saying that we just. thought they were surely finding secular freedoms i think it is a very slippery slope when you are starting to legislate what muslim women

anonymously member presumably i mean if a jewish woman wants to cut a head or somebody wants whereas a fancy dress or these are part of a secular rights and freedoms example that draft of our proposed law is not actually banned as neutrons so if you are going to a security zone i eat a government institution. or a military base or airport security or any of these places you are required to move the bit seven european countries that ban the in public places the feel is that there's a growing except answer a growing push or a growing movement to do this and would you anticipate to see more countries follow suit i think we've seen a growing faction lies ation and a hard thing and opposed to isolation of the base and i think what we will see is any creasing effort by the populous party the far right movements in europe in europe i would today that said the paradox in england and europe in general and the west will resist. because you have to open society of freedom

individual but when you have a nanny state that egypt arise that can be understated you need this kind of law to really protect women from sikes forcing them to would of the land or this is about freedom is a short skirt it's not libertarianism i had it's not conservatism we need to open our minds and become a been well of late about these issues. right it's time now to get a check on the latest summon show who's in the hot seat with the former first minister of scotland today find out in moments. there's now a building groundbreaking here in rwanda and the wisest terrorist. bad memories. twenty four years ago this country song
