this. is a fund is up and these cards and the fund. mayhem following this week's elections president trump. the media blaming it for division in the u.s. coming up on the program this hour. he also in the german city of humber. has met with a heated counter protest just a recent. surge in opposition to multiculturalism and growing support for terry and lou amongst germans. didn't agree with it at all and i hope that the majority doesn't get to me because we can. see the people.

of a story we're following this hour russia's investigative committee launches a probe after pictures of a convicted gang member living a lobbyist life in prison or leaked. five am in montevideo five pm in seoul on eleven in the morning here in moscow this thursday november the two are to international our top story. once again the media blaming it for division within the united states the u.s. congress is split between america's two major parties with the democrats seizing the house of representatives and republicans keeping the senate. it 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 but since you're a racist question i would never do that and i don't use race and as you marks. in america it's people like this that cause division one of the statements that you made in the telling of the campaign do 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 would be as much as i'd ask one of the other folks that said. that's enough was president the other folks that said. you are a rude terrible person. mr president in the head of peter gunn in jim's defense i traveled with him and watched him he's a diligent reporter i'm not a big fan of yours either so i understand to be out of the quite extraordinary stuff that many have dubbed the midterms of course that's what the media conference was all about a referendum trumps presidency and it seems he has passed the test with the republicans maintaining their senate majority explaining what that actually means

here's. so which party won the epic midterm battle for control of the us 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 their restoring the constitution's checks and balances to the champ and i fancy palosi 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 and learn the same type of propaganda day you would have seen in germany in one thousand and thirty

eight these comparisons like. the trump will be matched 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 they're 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 under 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 be 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. sometimes leaking information that should not be leaked sometimes. twisting the story a different way than it shouldn't be too it's good you know because sometimes just falsely claiming something that's not correct enough substantiated so i think we've got. we've got media and also elements within the government that are actually creating within the u.s. government that are actually creating more of a device the. atmosphere within the population. of this whole comes on the government. top lawyer resigned from his position on the request of the president now former u.s. attorney general jeff sessions has earlier recused himself from the probe into

alleged russian interference in the twenty sixth us presidential election jeff sessions will be replaced by his former chief of staff matthew with occur who has pushed for a limited inquiry democrats have already lashed out at trump accusing him of trying to derail the investigation into the alleged collusion with all scientists calling couple gave us his thoughts on how the change will impact on the pro. quo the miller investigation which is based on democratic goes. into vineyard with a twenty sixteen brothers a little. few democrats during the midterm. and i think it is very much did in the water right now i'm a little. too was able to really find me but so far they have been real removal of the word finding

nothing. directly implicates rush into theory in the twenty sixth in a limited. ok over five thousand ficta means of war have been treated so far this year in a un back humanitarian organizations hospital in afghanistan a third where children know the organization called emergency has been active in the country since nineteen ninety nine and say the violence there is relentless. well that news coming into us as moscow is preparing to get warring parties together for negotiations playing host to afghan peace talks tomorrow friday a dozen countries are invited on the taliban is also sending a delegation not marks 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

a start of reports 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 rules 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 sooner enough . on just one day the twentieth of october journeying elections three hundred and eighty eight civilians were in the plethora of attacks so no wonder that even nato

is calling for peace the taller from must understand the continuing to fight this point us there must sit down on the negotiating table the potential for peace is creating our own test being in many years unless of course peace is made in moscow in which case the us 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 it and to the war and. we've been clear that no governments including russia can be a substitute for the afghan government interact negotiations with the taliban wage

never stop 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 u.s. 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 wars in general are 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 generations thread and misery and violence drunken hatred and the heroine finally the taliban agrees to open talks it's a huge deal ed the u.s. possum's war it seems is preferable to peace that comes with russian help. there riot police being deployed in the german city of hamburg where hundreds of protesters have rallied for under against i know a merkel's migrant policies. it was rights groups called around the to deny open door policy which is seen over a million people who are into the country since the highs of the migrant crisis in

twenty fifty they were meant to can see here with kuntar demonstrators who attempted to block their arrival at a real way station leading to a heated standoff with police. and many germans have been calling for merkel to step down from her role as chancellor as early as next year in advance in response really to her saying that she would continue to the end of her term in twenty twenty one merkel won't be seeking reelection after a series of disastrous results for her party in regional elections and now a growing number of germans say they'd prefer a more or thorough tarion leader picking the bones of that sorties europe correspondent peter over. 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 there 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 you know 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 our schmidt's i painted this 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 because. i see the people. well i think this everyone's personal choice may be due to the refugee cross a 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 and not into a worse place than it is already. right switching gears now russian up

top of this. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar ai industrial park but don't let the numbers

overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only. hello again authorities in russia launched a probe after pictures of a convicted gang member eating a luxury food in prison were leaked online the gangster dubbed the lowest of the low was jailed for participating in a brutal mass murder in southern russia eight years ago here's the details. 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 adventure 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 it's more than ten years. to build your future nobody in the. bullshit bullshit gives us the news. 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 that though it's 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 civil 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 over it so looking into how on earth 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 presence. egypt sees it may bomb the burka in public court at any time and under any circumstances under a new draft law lawmakers say both male and female terrorists are using the full body feel 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 or seven e.u. states have already barred the government in public sparking heated discussion the

un human rights committee has even ruled out front has been constitutes a violation of human rights earlier my colleague under former gaged opinion on the issue with historian adel darwish a political and social commentator and the ones are. when it comes to the clerk at the idea that we would limit a woman's right to every place fail if she so chooses part of spiritual journey she's been taught to do that is a freedom it isn't actually for democracy it doesn'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 you know i don't think anybody i think anybody saying that we. are a lot of actually finding secular freedoms i think it is a very slippery slope when you are starting to legislate what muslim women in a non muslim 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 if you happen to have that draft of our proposed law it's not actually banned as neutrons so if you are going to a security zone. a government institution. or a military base or airport security or any of these places you are required to remove their bid seven european countries have banned 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 on a pogo isolation of the base and i think what we will see is any creasing effort by

the populous parties the far right movements in europe in europe i would turn to yes i have a paradox in england in europe in general and the west will resist. banning. he goes through an open society. but when you have a nanny state egypt that can be on this did you need this kind of model to really predict women from slogs forcing them or this is about freedom is a short skirt it's not libertarianism a headscarf it's not conservatism we need to open our minds and become a bill and date about these issues. all right let's get a recap of our developing story this hour reports are coming in off a mosque shooting at a restaurant in follows and opes in the u.s. state of california city just stand northwest of los angeles this is believed to be the police helicopter in the region there are reports of multiple injuries

including to a police officer as of now the gunman is still active he fled that restaurant bar what you're seeing now is the search for him acting alone it is believed this was the scene nighttime in california police have sealed off the area on or you can just see on the right of your screen a number of police and heavy. weaponry with them just to run the building they've been there since i last spoke about this so for at least twenty minutes or so that somebody else coming out of the building it seems like that we will of course be bringing you more on this story again just to reiterate one police officer injured after a shooting at a bar stroke restaurant in thoughts and oaks california stay with r.t. for the latest updates.

what started the revolution recently against mubarak was the price of wheat when the price of food went up to forty to fifty percent of the monthly budget of the average injection and therefore we've all that if you want to create a revolt if you want people in the streets rioting if you want a global insurrection against banker occupation keep keep rising without raising the price of fish keep raising the price of food and you'll get your out you get your insurrection you'll get your torches in your face for it still get your hundreds of millions of starving people on your front lawn demanding to be fed yes you can get it. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution to correct the demonstrations going to be relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know lawyer here i mean you know i lived with video through me in the new bill

is that i knew split needle the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty four g. and. those who took. it invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. and . i think it's important to do something that you're passionate about. even though you know you may not think you can do that and i didn't think there was any chance of me becoming an astronaut but i really that's what i was passionate about and i wanted to at least try for at least a few trying whatever it is you're interested in in general for people if you have that passion if you have something you think is really interesting but you think it might not be possible that doesn't matter just just give it a try and you never know where you might end up.
