chaos at an anti migrant rally and heated counter protest in germany just as a recent study finds a surge in opposition to multiculturalism and growing support for authoritarian rule among germans. don't agree with that and i hope that the majority doesn't just me to me because. i see the people. good evening thanks for joining us this is r.t. international. police say they have identified the shooter who killed twelve people in a crowded bar in california the incident took place in the small city of thousand oaks not far from los angeles more than a dozen people were also injured suspect has been named as twenty eight year old local resident in david long he previously served in the u.s. marine corps and was known to the authorities for my. offenses such as traffic

violations and a prolonged was cleared by mental health experts after officers responded to a report of him acting irrationally his motive for the shooting remains unknown it's believed he used the forty five caliber handgun during the attack is how witnesses describe the scene it was on the dance floor dancing and. you and then all my friends were at the table right the door and then they turn your i heard the gunshot i turned around and i start him shoot a couple more times and in a split second everyone yelled get down so i ran to the left of the dance floor where the back door is and everyone pretty much dog probably on top of each other they were very very loud gunshot they were very clear what they were the shots kept going and going and going we just heard people say all right and we looked at as fast as we cut because the police started to come in and around eleven fifteen pm local time terrified customers hit into tables and in bathrooms during the shooting what was

a college count country music night for local university students hundreds were there at the time. was that donald trump has ordered the national flag lowered to half staff at the white house to commemorate the victims of the match shooting. incident came just a day after crucial midterm elections had wrapped up in the u.s. the result leaves congress split between america's two major parties with the democrats seizing the house of representatives and republicans keeping the senate at a press conference to follow the vote president trying once again clash with the media trading blame with reporters for division in the country. 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 racist remarks. like in america it's people like this that cause division one of the statements that you made in the ceiling 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 let me. 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. mr president in peter good in jim's defense i traveled with him and watched him he's a diligent reporter big fan of yours either so i understand to be honest about it and while the left wing movement has targeted a fox news anchor davis from the group surrounded took home chanting insults. with t.v. host wasn't home at the time but his wife was there when she wanted to look a self in and called the police the couple have four children rang the doorbell and broke the door. many have dubbed the midterms

a referendum on presidency and it seems that he has passed the test with the republicans retaining the senate majority explaining what that means he's cut them open. 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 to our senate majority to their restoring the constitution's checks and balances to the champ hands. and simple low. she 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 visit often and learn

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 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 are . sometimes leaking information that should not be leaked sometimes. too. doing a story a different way than it should be to it's good. sometimes just falsely claiming something that's not correct i'm up substantially to what i think we've got. we've got our media and also elements within the government better actually creating within the u.s. government that are actually creating more of a debate the. atmosphere within the population. over five

thousand victims of war been treated so far this year in hospitals run by a u.n. back to humanitarian organization in afghanistan a third of the children to organization called emergency has been active in the country since nine hundred ninety nine and says that the violence that relentless. mosque is providing to get morning parties together for 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 as i guess the of reports not everybody 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 journeying elections three hundred and eighty eight civilians were. plethora of attacks so no wonder that even nato is calling for peace the tal a bomb must understand the continuing to fight this pointless there must sit down on the negotiating table the potential for peace is creating our own interest 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 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 and they are probably talking about that and would like to see that seventeen years of war and terror is nato sold that countless thousands dead on each every side generations thread and misery and violence drunken hatred and the heroin finally the taliban agrees to open talks it's a huge deal ed the u.s.

possums war it seems is preferable to peace that comes with russian help the. british government is facing a wave of criticism for its handling of the aftermath of the grunfeld fire seventy people died a year ago in a blaze that engulfed a block of flats in. westminster's been accused of placing gagging orders well experts who investigate the tragedy auntie's and in a story. well our critics of the british government have dubbed it shameful in light of information that has emerged about a company that was hired just days following the grand fell fire tragedy to analyze and investigate u.k. government a state building sifi and that company was reportedly told not to criticize to recent may and her government this was revealed as part of a comprehensive investigation carried out by the times newspaper which disclosed that among hundreds of other contracts the specific one hundred thousand pounds

contract with an engineering company called w s p had instructed that particular company not to quote create. adverse publicity for the cabinet or other crown bodies when looking at the situation involving other buildings around the country following the grunfeld fire and of course reactions to such a gag order on clouding experts was was not met with open arms this shows. that is if you respect to do so. would. follow the truth wherever it led. rather than gagging experts and purred ties in reputed damage this conservative government should be doing everything in its power to ensure they never happens again coming just a few weeks after the prime minister promised to get tough on gagging closes these

shocking revelations show the government to be deeply hyper critical as well as paranoid and this is how the government had to respond to all of this standard contracts in the public and the private sector contain provisions to protect the commercial interests of government and its suppliers in a reasonable way these contracts do not prevent individuals from campaigning on specific issues acting as whistleblowers or even concerns about policy while over the grenfell tower of course took place on june fourteenth last year it was a fire that killed seventy two people it lasted many many hours and really brought lots and lots of criticism in terms of the initial reaction of theresa may and her government and as well as the days that followed.

well the grandfather united campaign group reacted to these latest revelations with a statement saying quote the focus at every level of government must be to get to the truth about how and why grand fell happened no one should be deterred from speaking out and quote. with more news after this short break.

ukrainian neo nazi militia suspected of training white supremacist groups which have been arrested for inciting violence attacks during protests in the u.s. back in twenty seventeen that's according to an unsealed criminal complaint made by the f.b.i. . the azoff battalion is a paramilitary units of the ukrainian national guards which is known for his association with neo nazi ideology and use of nazi symbolism and which is beliefs of participated in training and radicalizing united states based white supremacist organizations this was a quote from a criminal complaint and the man who wrote it was behind investigating terrorist groups in america for the f.b.i. and right here you will be able to see the photos posted by the defendants he was trying to bring to justice they are members of the white supremacy rise above

movement just recently a number of charges have been brought against them and clued in conspiracy to start riots the men were involved in the deadly twenty seventeen charlottesville riots it was. it was. it was. it. was it was it was. so the f.b.i. agent found that the rise above movement members toward europe and went to countries like germany italy and ukraine and there they met with the members of the

local extremist neo nazi groups besides this according to the f.b.i. operative the defendants were seen on a photo with one of the leaders of a ukrainian far right party which was founded out of a regiment of the military but tally and that is the battalion that was mentioned and the quote that i showed you are. earlier now as of was seen on the frontlines of the conflict in east ukraine which broke out when a number of the regions there refused to accept the results of a bloody coup in kiev which led to the government being over thrown in there now you don't have to be an f.b.i. agent to prove that absolve is actively using neo nazi symbols you can just look at their insignia their emblems and neo nazi salutes or even just slogans are a common thing now i just want to show you what rather frequent marches of members

of such organizations and their supporters look like in the ukraine. so this criminal complaint could be important because it appears to be the first instance of f.b.i. actually looking into claims that ukrainian neo nazis could have been involved in the training of extremists across the atlantic. riot police have been deployed in

the german city of hamburg where hundreds of protesters have rallied for and against michael's micro policies. groups called a rally to denounce michael's open door policy which is seen over the million people pour into the countryside. the height of my crisis. they were with counter-demonstrators who attempts to block the arrival of the railway station leading to a heated standoff with police. and the germans have been calling on merkel to step down from their role as chancellor as early as next year that's a response saying that she will continue to the end of a twenty twenty one like won't be seeking reelection following a series of disastrous results for her party in regional elections and now a growing number of germans say they prefer moral authority erin leader europe correspondent peter oliver explains. 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 this is our schmidt's i painted 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 particularly well i think this is everyone's personal choice maybe due to the refugee crisis lately 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 i'm not into a worse place than it is already very chairman of the alternative for germany party petabytes believes that angela merkel will have a hard time saving her leadership and recent polls in germany are behind the times . angle america is a land duck and it was pretty obvious already after the election as she lost the election and got the tremendous problem even to get together a coalition and she's now trying to stay at least the chancellor but the chances are low you've got the information then the socialist allotment area and so are already looking for new jobs outside of the parliament because they think that this government will not remain any longer the german people don't want that out to return ian there is sheen bought and this is very important they already have one because of what happens in the country now under angola america this is

a small area it's orator and the government. is separate loosing stake in us like in camden it's the government is this missing. a collapse just because they are opposing the government like with books on mohsen the germans are very open minded people and they're still coming. people from abroad. i'll be back with updates for you in half an hour see. what started the revolution recently i guess mobarak was up the price of wheat went up to 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 our global insurrection against banker occupation keep keep rising real 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'll 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 just the lawyer who could do it but i mean your list book to do with me in the new bill is that i'm new school in need of the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took coach i've invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure

a secure and prosperous and democratic. i think it's the born to do something no you're passionate about. even though you know you may not think you can do that and i didn't say. at least if you're trying whatever it is you're interested in people if you if you have something you think is really interesting but you think it. doesn't matter you're going to try and you never know where.
