believed he used a forty five caliber handgun during the attack witnesses described the scene. i was on the dance floor dancing and extremists. and then all my friends were at the table right my door and then i turned your i heard the gunshot i turned around and my 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 right then we looked at assassins we cut calls the police started to come in around eleven fifteen pm local time terrified customers hidden the tables and in bathrooms during the shooting what was a college country music night for local university students hundreds of them were there at the time president of the trump has ordered the national flag lowered to half staff at the white house to commemorate victims of the match.

and that incident came just a day after crucial midterm elections had wrapped up in the u.s. the results leave congress split between america's two major parties the democrats have seized the house of representatives republicans have kept the senate press conference the fall of the vote president from once again clashed with the media trading blame with reporters for division in the country. it isn't good what the media is doing and then i do have the right to fight back on the campaign trail you called yourself a nationalist some people. white nationalist racist question i would never do that and i don't use racist remarks. in america it's people like this that cause division one of the statements that you made in the field of the campaign there we go. i think you should let me run the country you run c.n.n. and if you did it well.

that's enough. you are a rude terrible person. mr president. defends. himself. meanwhile the left wing movement targeted a fox news anchor activist from the group surrounded took a call home chanting insults. the t.v. host was not actually home at the time but his wife was she managed to lock herself in and called the police the couple also have four children activists rang the doorbell and broke the door. many. a referendum on presidency and it seems the might just have passed the test with

the republicans retaining the senate majority is spreading. 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 restoring the constitution's checks and balances to the john. fancy pelosi has got plenty of reason to be happy 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 to 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. i speak now to anthony bryan logan is a political and social commentator good to have you on to the donald trump he started off in his press conference following the elections trying it seemed to strike a conciliatory tone he talked about working with the democrats quickly descended though in a clash with the media in particular jim acosta of c.n.n. . does he took up that kind of confrontational posturing fought back would it help matters if trump just acted a little bit more presidential or do you just have to let trump be who he is. you get a low chance beachfront that's where he's going here as well as getting him here so far he's not been the conventional president and i think we need to say more games of political people just pretty much in near as pope it's that are not going to be able to get anything done and if they do get anything done and they're being

controlled by our house and what it is able to feed for them for them so rather do in being told what to do from now on use doing well right now people are just not used to it but i think there will be painful for one who's also in don't. i suppose one of the what some people might say dangerous sides of his personality in the way that he speaks in this conversational manner for example calling c.n.n. an enemy of the people some people might take that literally we had those an incidence recently reports of you know bombs been sent through in the post to c.n.n. headquarters coming dangerously close to inciting violence in the way that he speaks on or is that going too far an assessment. i think as a little bit too far an assessment you're going to have crazy people that are out there and you have a lot of people on the left that have diana really crazy things nobody wants to blame anybody for they say well these people do stings if he put it where it took

or crossing over they were emboldened by anyway it is happening to do things in our own so the same things should be said of the so-called mag obama or whatever jazz name was the same things could be said for him which of his doing is the right thing to do when you put in now false information misleading information the thing is it could be consider voter suppression they want talk about voter suppression in bits arm elections when you put out a study they intentionally misleading to confuse people to describe people from going out there voting that could be considered voter intimidation voters or persian so what do you say here about being an enemy of the people is pretty accurate as a description initially be misconstrued with inciting violence what's going on with the left because it gets criticized for what's considered to be a divisive aggressive stance but that the people who complain about him they take quite aggressive stance against him to. mention took a callous and his house being surrounded by anti far protesters who are calling him

a racist there's a lot of kind of being done up by all parties involved. well i think the barriers most are coming from one direction is usually coming from the low end in the right has to respond i mean you saw there in the actual press conference day donald trump was involved with all these people get you know yelling out of turn screaming at me. jim a cause to wrestle america from away from new girl i mean more like what are we really doing the left they are attacking everywhere he goes now on a low even those that are kind of his center i think it may come from fear that they're losing their power to lose a new group and they are afraid of what trump is going to do so it's not really you know two parties being it's not bipartisan values it usually comes from the other side has to defend. and to think good to speak to thanks for joining us on r.t. and to brian logan my guest political social commentator. thank you.

over five thousand victims of war been treated so far this year in hospitals run by a un backed humanitarian organization in afghanistan a third of those treated with children organization called emergencies been active in the country since nine hundred ninety nine he says that the violence there is relentless when referring to get warring parties together for negotiations playing host the afghan peace talks on friday and dozen countries have been invited the taliban is also sending a delegation 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 r.t. explains that 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 sooner enough . on just one day the twentieth of october jury elections three hundred and eighty eight civilians were heard. of attacks so no wonder that even nato is calling for peace the taller must understand that to continue to fight this pointless there must sit down on the negotiating table the potential for peace is created 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 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 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 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 sold that 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. possums war it seems is preferable to peace that comes with russian help. british government is facing a wave of criticism for its handling of the aftermath of the grunfeld taua fire seventy two people died a year ago in a blaze that engulfed a block of flats in london westminster has been accused of placing gagging orders on experts investigating the tragedy ortiz honest has the details. well love 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 state building safety and that company was reportedly told not to criticize theresa 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 pound 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 clotting experts was was not met with open arms this shows unforgivable cowardice if you respect the decision to. firms follow the truth wherever it lead. rather than gagging experts in per times you repeat ational 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 causes 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 complaining on specific issues acting as whistleblowers or reason concerns about policy while low the grenfell tower of course took place on june fourth. 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 ground fell happened no one should be deterred from speaking out and quote. ukrainian neo nazi militias are suspected of training white supremacist groups which have been arrested for inciting violent attacks during protests in the u.s. back in two thousand and seventeen that is according to an unsealed criminal complaint 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.

in the. uk. the. uk. 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 in 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. i i. i i i i i i i

i i i i i i 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. the annual g. seven meeting could eventually be a thing of the past european commission president john clune junkers thinks none of the member states will be a part of the group by mid century he says that the writing is on the wall for europe's economic minds. three are losing economic weight in the next coming decades for your role and more or less twenty to twenty three percent who do you

fear are just the same level as ours here in europe so maybe mr young says that just to just buy a united europe but in thirty years time he's right there will be maybe still germany but the others italy france etc will have gone from the g seven that would have been replaced by china or india russia needs to be backing that that's for sure of course because it's one of the giants in the world so we need we need to start making use in politics in the economy for you. russian athlete you tragically lost his arms in an accident decades ago has taken gold in his car to create the european triathlon championships in spain fifty five year old conquered the kilometers of running swimming and cycling with the help of his wife who's also his trainer had a chance to speak to both of them about their motivation. the point is a slippery slope was also can be lead to prison is not the norm. for the most
