8:07 pm
national and former u.s. marine was arrested in moscow in perhaps the fanciest hotel in the capital but who would have known when the news broke that as many as four countries would end up saying he's our guy about mr we won the embassy violating moscow has requested consular access to an irish citizen currently detained in russia we are extremely worried about pool whelan we have offered consular assistance consular officials are aware that a canadian citizen has been arrested in russia ambassador huntsman expressed his support for mr whelan and offered the embassy assistance however when it comes to the canadian passport the suspects brother couldn't even say whether he still has it or not i don't know i know that he was once a canadian citizen so he may still be and i know that he is an american citizen right now strange but that's how it is paul whelan is in detention in moscow having
8:08 pm
been charged with espionage although his family is sure the reason he went to russia was just a wedding party the american ambassador had been given permission to see the spy suspect and so he did mr whelan's lawyer is seeking bail for his client but don't forget several countries of lined up to help him out so while u.k. officials are waiting for the green light to get access to the alleged spy their top diplomat has spoken out but our position is very very clear which is a very straightforward point. that individuals should not be used as forms of diplomatic leverage and. you know we need to see what these charges are against him i understand whether there is a case or not but we're not ruling out any theories at school at this stage as to why this might have happened there are very few details on the case that we know of for now there hasn't been much reaction from senior officials either but journalists around the world are old over this story and speculation is rife he
8:09 pm
faces up to twenty years in a russian jail deal of cash plenty of time to be swapped to dispose of. what's most likely as we'll as a pawn in russia just play to get back one of its spies after maria patino here in the united states the rehabilitation do you believe the arrest of your brother was retaliation was revenge in some way by the russians as you've just heard many are linking this case with the case of maria bhutto she was arrested in america in july and eventually pleaded guilty to conspiring against the u.s. with the russian government official and at least one other person without notifying the attorney general however the fact is the charges brought against henri aboot enough and paul whelan are completely different. and the rounds of budget talks between congressional democrats and the white house seem to have
8:10 pm
that nowhere with the u.s. government shutdown entering its third week the sticking point is funding for donald trump's border wall and with democrats again calling for impeachment the u.s. president is threatening to take radical action. if you considered using emergency powers to grant yourself authorities to build this wall without congressional approval and second i don't have to go you have yes i have and i can do it if i want so you don't need congressional approval to build know we can use i'm absolutely we can call a national emergency because of the security of our country i absolutely know we can do it i haven't done it i may do it i may do it from did indicate after the meeting when he spoke that he would actually consider calling a national emergency in order to construct his wall so that he could do so without the approval of congress trump also summarize the meeting he felt the meeting was productive but the representative seemed to have the other idea we had a very very productive meeting lengthy and sometimes contentious it's very hard
8:11 pm
to see how progress will be made unless they open up the government we recognize on the democratic side that we really cannot resolve this until we open our government he said he'd keep the government closed for a very long period of time months or even years from also said that in the meeting nancy pelosi the speaker of the house of representatives that she told donald trump that she had no interest in impeachment they were not looking for impeachment that's the quote there has been a call to get the ball rolling and kind of jump start impeachment proceedings against trump from some democrats one democrat in the house of representatives actually use some rather colorful language to make this call police don't want and maybe don't because we're going to go in there we're going to be some other. trump said that he was told by nancy pelosi that quote we're not looking for impeachment in the meeting that just happened nancy pelosi has elsewhere said that she would be
8:12 pm
open to the impeachment of us president trump we shouldn't be impeached for a political reason and we should avoid punishment political reasons we've reached this point where if you have control of congress. or half of congress and. the president is from the other party you attacked the president by refusing to provide the votes to pass the president's agenda he'd run into problems right away because there is no national emergency is causing this this impasse over something that most americans don't really want or care about i think that the upper hand goes to the democrats and they're just going to wait him out until his own party tells him he has to fund the government because it's costing the there are supporters too much and it's costing the country too much to hold a quarter of the government unfunded for
8:13 pm
8:14 pm
what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express. something want to. get it right. it's like the. real people are. interested in the lives. they said. welcome back to r.t. britain has spent almost two hundred thousand pounds protecting the welfare of the hate preacher abu qatada officer he was deported to jordan to face terror charges
8:15 pm
the sum revealed by the times newspaper has sparked anger among m.p.'s and also the public. these payments are ridiculous the money we have spent is an insult to the british taxpayer. one point seven million pounds in legal fees for a hate preacher abu qatada total cost for deportation including welfare payments so far one point nine million pounds christ sakes two hundred thousand pounds spent on protecting hate preachers human rights you couldn't make it up no wonder people want to come here they get two hundred thousands even if they leave the u.k. granted him asylum in one thousand nine hundred ninety four after he claimed he was tortured in jordan the u.k. then arrested him after nine eleven on terror related charges qatar's it was sent back to jordan twelve years later after he was assured he would not be tortured there but his deportation overseen by the then home secretary theresa may came at
8:16 pm
a price a bell of at least one point nine million pounds was racked up including payments for legal fees and date and as mentions nearly two hundred thousand pounds was spent off they had been removed from the country to check on his condition and ensure he wasn't being tortured the british government's committed to monitoring because harder for up to three years and the last payment was made in twenty sixteen well we put the issues raised by migrant deportations and this particular case up for debate. and the first place. should never have been granted asylum here by can one thousand for your recipes one for and the key use should never of claimed asylum in or actually we are at the hottie to the convention like most civilized countries which means that if somebody claims asylum and they can show a genuine fear of persecution we are obliged to grant them asylum you're suggesting it's appropriate that the you care taxpayer should pick up the bill for
8:17 pm
a terrorist mastermind who was going to get through the rule of involving u.k. i'm still only going to do i don't know which is different because let me finish now and i on a second i gotta finish you're suggesting that the you care taxpayer should pick up the bill for a terrorist mastermind to come to the u.k. live off benefits and then when he does get deported back to jordan we further pick up an extra two hundred thousand now if that's not well nihilistic perhaps is a better word that anarchist take but either way it's pretty imbecilic the fundamental fact is that this guy was by any definition an al-qaeda terrorist mastermind i'm glad that he was deported i mean i am disappointed that we've had to spend two hundred thousand pardons to look after his well for in jordan when that money could have been spent much better for example keith here in the u.k. looking after british victims of our qaeda violence wouldn't you agree with me with me or not point where would you like to see the line expand on another universe or
8:18 pm
is victims who chose i'm only slightly disturbed david that seems to be that your opinion as to whether somebody is wrapped up in criminality or not is sufficient to convict them and the fact is that jordan already having him in these absence then had to acquit him when he was retried for exactly the same thing because it was discovered that the evidence was tainted it's not my opinion that he was a tie. as mastermind it's a matter of numerous reports by various heads of intelligence services if an intelligence service alleges somebody is a world terrorist or something like that but if those countries they are not provide the evidence to support those contentions then i'm afraid i'm not prepared to listen with deep credence to any intelligence service is that alleges something against somebody simply because it suits them politically
8:19 pm
to do so in essence what keith saying must be must be music from heaven to the years of any prospective terrorist wanting to get into the u.k. and yes going to your initial point we should toughen operable laws much much more robust from to make sure that such wicked terrorists do not enter this country they can go to jordan or forever else they want but not in the united kingdom. in a historic splats a newly formed orthodox church of ukraine has been granted independence from the russian church but despite happiness in political circles many questions are not content with me it isn't a question of or has more. a long awaited present has finally been delivered to ukraine patriarch of constantinople has granted its ukrainian are to dogs to urge and autonomy on the eve of our two dogs christmas special decree with officially
8:20 pm
recognizing an independent ukrainian art adox church and of course ukrainian president's petro poroshenko was there shedding tears of question shoot. thank god it would be impossible without god's blessing. i want to thank the millions of ukrainians across the east has become possible thanks to your. well sems like for once happy but what's all the fuss about church's independence from hope. per se interest ukranian are to dogs church has been under control of moscow patrick kate and everyone has been ok with it until the fall of the soviet union and ukrainian independence and nineteen ninety one gradually tensions between the churches. through the years was more and more voices inside ukraine demanding churches and dependence sounds like some in the religious dispute so what's so
8:21 pm
important about it. altos of should effectively give ukrainian orthodox church full autonomy in terms of parish financing and lands but in fact how much of it does keith actually get while the documents signed states that ukrainian church actually falls under control of constantinople ukrainian are dogs church can control only territory with then ukraine and there's perhaps that it creates a need perishes abroad and all disputes are going to be sas wells by constantino people so basically is just replacing moscow mike. unscented noble but well president par schenkel is struggling in the pulls ahead of march presidential election and experts say while making this a centerpiece policy of his campaign he hopes to win over support and more than
8:22 pm
that other are to dogs churches are not thrilled at all by the move the tentacles of globalization to trying to penetrate the church to destroy its politicians interference in church affairs is a clear sign of this show even is led by corrupt politicians and illegally assisted by the constantinople patriarchy have deepened and worsen the already existing split and put the unity of orthodox christianity as a whole in danger and inside ukrainian church itself there is not want unanimity when the plan of autonomy has been announced back in autumn one of the branches a few crane in church has slammed the plan we consider these actions to be empty canonical they sanction will not bring anything to ukraine except trouble separation and sin but it is at least anyone supporting the move apart from ukraine itself well you must have guessed the answer the united states reiterated
8:23 pm
strong support for religious freedom and the freedom of members of religious groups including ukraine's orthodox community to govern their religion according to their beliefs free of outside interference oh well not everything one calls freedom is actually making you free. an american orthodox priest tyson has been signed from the patriarch of constantinople as a result of its actions in ukraine he is now going to the russian orthodox ted's father tyson any a told us more about why he came to the station. i want to be in communion with christ and the church and i feel that the actions that have occurred over any crane have definitely placed people outside the church if you will the head of the the new church that's been created in ukraine metropolitan to be funny is not a parish he was ordained by the so-called patriarch phil already after he had been
8:24 pm
reduced to the status of a layman how do we commemorate someone who doesn't even have a ballad of a nation i don't want to see metropolitan unfree his bishops his priests his people persecuted i don't want to see them thrown out of their churches and monasteries and i don't want to see the most wrested interrogated there is a potential for that to happen and i'm not being hysterical if that definitely occur. i drove by my my former parish yesterday on the way to visit someone who was ill after seventeen years of serving there now i am on able you know to do it so any more there's a separation between myself and people that i love very deeply and it's directly related the feat of patriarch bartholomew maybe he wasn't thinking about the so-called little people when he made these decisions which of course can be seen on a very brand of geopolitical scale but the fact of the matter is people who are wonderful dear orthodox believers have lost their of their priests not just me but father nick charles trevino in manassas virginia and also the priest in florence
8:25 pm
italy and who knows how many others they lost the stability of their parish life that's how it's affected us here in america. it is that very dangerous because if let's just say a number of the autocephalous churches do not accept the ukrainian new church then we will have a schism a break. and then there may be a serious break in communion and we have disunity in the church this is the most serious question we've faced and close to a thousand years. there are many levels to this decision some of them could be because of the traditional and historical rivalry between cos that's a couple of moscow some of them could be because of western political influences there's no doubt that seems as though what political players from both the european union and the united states are involved. for real time updates then forget follow us on twitter and facebook as well a paragraph is continued hair on our team's national in just a few minutes. country's
8:26 pm
gone into a nihilistic fever that's why i think they got it hit the road think it out the traveling across america to find what makes america take the charlatans the geniuses this is the quintessential american hero this is it we found the point around which element is done since we always are on the current system this whole gun culture listening party the america. we're starting last with is going to headed east into the swamp we're going into the belly that the i think i want to leave now doesn't get any more of them it may be completely different and in this. nobody could see

coming that false confessions would be that profile in the spot the wish to fall for converts if you look at any interrogation out there what you'll see is threat promise threat promise threat lie a lie a lie the process of interrogation is designed to put people in just that frame of mind make the most comfortable make them want to get out and don't take no for an answer don't accept their denials she said their forwards who are already set on the statement that i will be home by the next day there's a culture on accountability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with all their crime. with the let me just manufacture consent instant to the public will. when the
