officials believe the deadly easter sunday bomb attacks which left almost three hundred dead were carried out with the help of the international network. also this hour campaigning on a promise to stop a civil war in the east of the country and reopen dialogue with moscow t.v. star and political newcomer lot of mirrors and secures a landslide victory and ukraine's presidential election. and the king of bahrain it reinstates the citizenship of more than five hundred people after outcry from human rights defenders however at the problematic situation in the country receives little attention from the u.s.

long term ally of the country. you're watching arch international bringing you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. we start with breaking news on r t international the easter sunday bomb attacks that left two hundred ninety people dead and hundreds more injured in true long were carried out with the help of an international network that's according to government officials in the country we do not believe these attacks were carried out by a group of people who are confined to this country there was an international network without which these attacks could not have succeeded. and the reuters news agency is right now reporting another blast has just been heard a short distance from where police today were discovered eighty seven detonators at the capital's main bus station police are trying to determine if the devices have

anything to do with sunday's deadly attacks. we heard a loud bang and we faintly let's all remember. we heard a loud explosion and everything collapsed would manage to protect children but when i came here i found out that my son in law and my son. i wish to express my heartfelt salute darts to christian communities affected one that was a prayer with all the victims of such cruel foreigners. a

total political outsider famous for playing a president in a t.v. show will stop acting for the real thing after winning ukraine's presidential election with the most votes counted lot of years olinsky has secured a landslide win over the incumbent petrol for shango earlier my colleague enter farmer spoke talks on a boycott the host of archie's political talk show worlds apart about the vote for change and ukraine. well i think political technologists and political analysts will be trying to decipher this victoria for months if not years to come you said the people. voted for change yes i would agree with that but i think it's also difficult to understand what exactly led them to make such a decision i mean the one clear indication would be the polls prior to devote which

show that almost half of the ukraine in the electorate said that under no circumstances they would vote for the incumbent. that shows you that he had very very very strong negative speech i suppose he benefited from because while you listed some of his campaign promises he's usually criticized for being very very light on substance he didn't actually make many complain promises and he's in there with you to deliver and will is still very much on the up and why people voted the way they did push and. project an image of a strong watch on needed and standing up to russia's president vladimir putin given the from the last would you don't question how much of a factor that played in the election i think it's it's an interesting point to consider and i would just add that it's not only he complained that focused on that his entire policies for the last three or four years focused on standing up to do

russian aggression and given that these elections produced the highest margin of victory in the ukraine's. recent history i mean. you've got almost three times as many votes as per cent i think the ukrainian electorate is getting a little bit tired of that kind of message and that's not nothing surprising because people in every country first and foremost want bread and butter issues economy living standards education health care etc i mean at the end of the day every country has a different politics but people in all countries want the same things and i think one of the biggest mistakes was to stress so much his wartime strong wartime image at the expanse of the promises that he made five years ago. it's also going to be quite a bit of a challenge for the lansky as well because the ukrainian electorate has a very short political fuse they like president one day they totally dislike him

two years later i mean in thirty years that ukraine has been independent they only elected one president for the second term and that's i think one of the reasons why danske is already saying that he's only going to stay for one term because securing the second one would be increasingly difficult and i think maybe he will fill poroshenko spain if you years down the line. to set even more lines on the political change in ukraine look across to political analysts and journalists martin summers welcome to the program now lewinsky says his victory has united the country is this just initial euphoria or is he correct. sort of called convincing when house and city think he is very much power has lost this election and possibly because as your previous guests suggested two letters of. rhetoric was

a little bit of. lewinsky is untested as a politician a job that's not for the faint hearted anywhere why do you think ukrainians overwhelmingly believe he's still the best choice for them. well done that i think is the least worst option they all know him because he's salivation. dirty hands like. because it's not from the past he's got links to. a pretty big goal of the. people looking at it with the relationship. but of course the fundamental problems the geo political situation is still very tense the economy is still. it's a huge task he's going to head of in. puts people wanted a change and he presented a solution looks like a young person with new ideas and. he's going to get.

the fundamental problems that the country faces. you're talking about the fundamental problem is do you think that we'll see any improvements in the hugely strained relations with russia or to his presidency. well i think his rhetoric is much less is much less strident than poroshenko is but i think the fundamental difficulties here all to do with the geopolitical struggle between the u.s. and russia was. basically pulled so it's not very easy to resolve it because the crisis in ukraine was created in the first place boy. services. to make trouble for russia and it's not just the cost isn't just generated from within ukraine itself and therefore it can't be resolved just within the problem itself because there's a bigger issues that so keep complicating picture. and when it comes to the west

how do you think they'll accept. the president. because as such convincing victory he'll obviously already had for. calls from trump and understand i mean that they will basically be treated as supporters and of course they will wanted to do various things that they wanted to do you know knocking on his door saying what we want you to do it's ones because of this of the country is deeply debts and the economy is still basically dysfunctional because a lot of it was really integrated into into the russian economy and it's and also anymore. and of course these fundamental problems going to be very difficult to resolve for anybody you know whoever whoever talented they may or may not be. but i think it's a saw in that the population are not really keen on nationalist rhetoric as

a result as a as a way to solve their problems are. given the whole idea of trying to. and don't. just one of the want to bet a lot if that's what's that's quite reasonable i would hope that that could lead to you know a more reasonable attitude all right but we should have to see. journalist martin summers thank you for your time and your comments. journalist organizations have condemned the french police after two reporters were detained on saturday during the twenty third consecutive weekend of the yellow bus protest live now to paris and our correspondent charlotte devinsky saw it more more can you tell us about these detentions. well the two independent journalists were among the more than two hundred individuals who were detained by police arrested act twenty three their names gaspipe glance and also alexis learned we know that the paris

prosecutor has said that they were arrested for participation in a group to commit violence or degradation now we know that the lone says detention was actually filmed and has been spread through. social media he was clearly marked up as a journalist with his head casque saying words t.v. on it and we know that from that video it appears that he was actually seeking out the commandeer all of the officers who wrote that protest before he was actually arrested we understand that's because he says he had been injured by a tear gas grenade that had been launched by the officers doing the protest now he's not the only journalist who says that they were injured on saturday in paris and to lose several journalists reported injuries mainly it appears coming from those grenades from the tear gas that by the officers at these protests now the interior ministry has been talking about the arrests of these journalists it said

that the police c.r.s. these officers are out every week they're out to try and make sure that there is safety for the demonstrators and the journalists carry out these protests and also to cover these protests that have been happening since november every week since november here in france but that statement from the interior ministry then goes on to say that if journalists are deemed to have committed an offense then they are likely to also be detained and arrested by the officers on the ground now the national union of journalists in france sees that as being a threat and it has gone even further saying it believes that some journalists are being specifically targeted. there is a question the merging is their determination to intimidate journalists we have an impression some of them are being targeted. since the yellow vast movement appeared the number of incidents targeting journalists when they're filming or photographing

hampers the work the press and nimitz the coverage of events which represent crucial public interest. it's now five months since this protest movement began twenty three consecutive weeks of protests and every week thousands of officers arrived on the streets to try and control those protests last saturday's act twenty three there were some sixty thousand offices deployed across france to try and control those protests and we've also seen the protesters turning on the police in recent weeks pacifically on saturday where they were protest is filmed screaming at the police go kill yourselves let's take a look at the violence that marred yet another protest. was.

given. by. so what can put out the fire of these protests that have been going on for so long in france president michael in hopes of the speech he's due to make on thursday to outline his response to the big debate this is the debate that they started to ask people what their issues were in france that will actually call the protests will it well i'm not so sure because so far nothing has been able to stop these protests . charla drew pinsky reporting live from paris thank you more stories right after

the break to stay with us here on our to international. the housing crisis was the result of securitizing mortgages that were resold to dozens of times and then like goldman sachs was betting as their own clients and they were engaged in massive fraud again bailed out by timothy geithner and his friends and now they go of that controlled demolition of the housing market is that all the housing is concentrated in a few hands like blackstone as a gift from their friends of the central banks and the result is medieval. trump said many times that you know we got. advantages you know with moving the embassy to jerusalem the mission of jerusalem is our capital. he said that there

would be some painful things that israel will not like either so this is why i think the other students should come with open. minds to the to the negotiations. welcome back we return to our breaking news on our team for national easter sunday bomb attacks that left two hundred and ninety people dead and hundreds more injured in sri lanka were carried out with the help of an international network that's according to government officials and the country now for a live analysis macross to karen bond up political analyst and editor of the diplomatic society for south africa welcome to the program now do you think it's the scale of yesterday's attacks which led sri lankan officials to believe an

international group was behind them. thank you for having me on through. convey my condolences to the people of south africa of sri lanka. pray for strength and. strength at this difficult time it's obvious that. the scale of the attack suggests that it was carried out for mexican maximum impact. taken that it was. one of the holiest days on the christian calendar so yes i think it was carried out in order to create a maximum impact. now the government is set to declare a nationwide emergency from midnight does that suggest that they still think that there's a real threat. yes i think the government does think there's a real threat the threat remodels remember that. has experienced thirty years of

some of kind of conflict within the country and i think that the government certainly has information and intelligence that the threat is still very real well and i think it's also important to note that there are reports that police found eighty seven detonators at the capital's bus station and acadian that they're still actively searching for potential threats do you think that there could be any more coming from that. yes i would think so i mean we're all shocked events that took place. on sunday and i'm sure the government has this has got intelligence in this regard and making sure of the safety of sri lankans. well when it comes to safety sri lankan officials received a letter warning of impending attacks two weeks ago and people suggested that the attacks or at least their extent could've been prevented do you think that's fair at all i don't think that we have to remember that since the end of

conflict in sri lanka the beast of burden has really paid to come due in sri lanka with economic development and in trade tourism and investment . base. perhaps you know. one has to once again look at the situation in sri lanka and really question why would such a dust at least take place. if the stern cares and bomb a political analyst and editor of the diplomatic society for south africa thank you for joining us on the program thank goodness. the king of bahrain has reinstated the citizenship of more than five hundred people it falls a wave of condemnation from international human rights groups almost one thousand nationals have had their citizenship revoked since an uprising in the country back in two thousand and eleven many opposition figures were imprisoned at the time or

fled abroad artist works on the situation and the country. peace really is evolution look here if someone's being the nuisance like activists or the opposition a normal dictator would get rid of them but it's messy and everyone complains in bahrain they've come up with a novel way of getting around that it's simple and genius to citizenship who voice the u.n. high commissioner for human rights is deeply concerned that one hundred thirty nine people in bahrain were convicted of terrorism after a mass trial which reportedly did not meet with international fair trial standards one hundred thirty eight of these people so all but one had their nationalities revoked standards. it works since two thousand and twelve according to the

americans for democracy and human rights in bahrain authorities have revoked the citizenships of nine hundred ninety nationals the third of them just last year among them though the undesirables the human rights defenders the political activists journalists and so on everyone who cause to shut up. this verdict demonstrates oath weaponized to our bedroom a case of citizenship to punish normal average bahrainis where we were and guess what happens if you complain about it yeah he loses us citizenship or get jailed or exiled this is win win for the king anyway so much for everyone outs. they need the glamour of the formula one there is a farmer sinister side to bahrain revealing the country is a deeply repressive state where anyone critical of the government can be jailed

merely for posting a tweet yes but the king is also merciful he takes with one hand but gives with the other his highness's issued orders to reinstate the citizenships of more than five hundred people citizenships so if you were sentenced to life in jail you still and die in prison but as a citizen how much more mercy do you want understand also this is been a stressful time for the king he and his family really didn't like the arab spring all that commotion and protesting and cools for democracy in common is they really didn't like it go violent clampdown.

bahrain was different from the other arab countries oh sure they bashed protests the heads in like everyone else the difference is no one really cool for the king to step down france and friends didn't bomb it like they did libya the u.s. didn't fund rebels in the islamists like they did in syria europeans didn't call for regime change like they did in egypt you know why because bahrain is a friend home to the largest u.s. and u.k. naval bases in the region holding the pre stages title of major non nato ally. these gulf partnerships are critical to achieving shared regional objectives defeating isis countering radical islamic terrorism protecting global energy

supplies and rolling back iranian aggression with friends like these who needs human rights bahrain can get away with murder and the west will turn a blind eye and i mean a blind eye they know full well what the king is up to what his henchmen commit what suffering they heap on the people human rights issues included allegations of torture arbitrary detention political prisoners arbitrary or removal interference with privacy restrictions on freedom of expression the press and the internet substantial interference with the rights of peaceful assembly and freedom of association remarkable well bomb syria over mere ruelas tweets sanction iran just out the habit at this point threatening then he's aware or interfere meddle in its politics trample its sovereignty because well

because but bahrain with its torture abuses classical courts and a king drunk on power. that is where they draw the line. at just going too far in our strategic approach it is important to acknowledge with a degree of humility that there are some things that are beyond our power to change . the authorities in bahrain claim the country's security has face an intense threat and all actions have been aimed at achieving stability and terror minister blames terrorists coordinated with iran iraq and the hezbollah group in lebanon for undermining peace in the region we spoke to former m.p. john farrow's who came under government pressure himself he believes bahraini and won't receive a great amount of international help to restore their human rights i was part of the first group where their citizenship being revoked and seventh of november two

thousand and twelve and they stuck with our group and that was. an order from minnesota and curio no evidence ordinal claims is being given to us political and economical rights you will lose it and you don't have any access to the health care nor do they do cation i describe it like as a social dis unfortunately there are those thunders and the foreign policy or many western countries mainly u.k. united states it is so much of it practical policy when they did well that allies when the international community his mission he was internationally did a good thing in all the reports that i was i was the type of the you more as well is used in bahrain particularly but meanwhile is being backed though telly by these international allies the united kingdom and i think the states and not only that

even they are supporting them internationally and they mention in many that a speech is that bombing is going on right track while they are proud to have such as eyes so we see there is no logic behind it. that circle openness wrap up for now but i'll be back at the top of the hour with the latest thanks for turning it. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the multiple different clubs on one hand it is logical to sort of go home fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective from time used to surprising us all why not if you think.

i'm going to talk about football not the or else you think i was going to go. by the way what is it that sliding here. facebook and google started with a great idea and great ideals unfortunately it was also a very dark side. they are constructing a profile of you and that profile is real it's detailed and it never goes away turns out that google is manipulating your opinions from the very first character that you type into the search bar it will always favor one dog food over another one comparative shopping service over another and one candidate over another they can suppress certain types of results diced on what they think you should be see if they have this kind of power then democracy is an illusion the free and fair

election doesn't exist the more growth we give them the sooner we are all. i don't think the numbers mean so they've matter to us as over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime happens each day. eighty five percent of global will you long to be old rich eight point six percent of the world market goes through the senate some with one hundred to five hundred three per second per second and that one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overrule. the only number you need to remember one one business you know bored to miss the one and only boom but.

what is a bit coy and big one is magic coming up a new type of digital currency decentralized digital scarcity chancellor i'm bringing a second bailout for bank that's called that got us a lot for a reason we're calling it still will be a source of optimism because i can control my own financial destiny it's just a new way of coming to consensus it's a game changer in the human history of this columbus discovering a new world this paradigm shifting technology that transforms economics and finance it hard to the apollo eleven landing on the moon to the room with max and stacy.
