true. conducted the 1st ever spaceport is died at the age of $85.00. could even thanks for joining us this is our team and. first this hour hundreds of people have been protesting in the central russian city of surat off that stuff the strangled body of a 9 year old girl was found they are demanding that the suspected murderer be put to death.

well the shock spread right across the city a local resident was arrested and then admitted to the crime by calling jacqueline virgos joined by outies has done off who's been following the story for us. over 1st and foremost what happened a lot of anger and paying that's what happened but 1st i would like to go back to the video that we just showed you just because it really it is really representative of the scale that's true in what happened as to how angry the people were like look at this here the rocking a police vehicle why because they believe that the murderer is inside and they're all for justice i mean they were so angry at this man and a lot of people still are very few areas with him that the police had to actually when they 1st were out in the open that they did so they put a mask on him so that nobody could identify me because for the time being and they

apparently had to cover him with riot shields and basically put their bodies between him and the mob of french and now what happened what's what is all this about on wednesday 9 year old lisa went to school and well never came back and her relatives and all kinds all the concerned people they were kept out of the loop for a very very long time so would come when it comes to her family well they were growing desperate to get out of here and the girls aren't we really need help we've been searching everywhere if you can help in any way trace contact us we've been looking for her since wednesday ranch time where we've realized that she's gone missing a lot of volunteers along with the with the police were looking for the girl but there was no news no not negative not positive for 24 some 24 hours so eventually on

a night from thursday to friday they went to this garage area it's literally like a sector where nothing but like garages people store their vehicles there they went there because they believed because there was a rumor. that the murderer of the suspected murderer was there a long while with the body of the girl when they came there they saw the police and i mean the the rocking of the police vehicle happened on that site and a lot of people they vented their anger at the law enforcement for well keeping everybody in the dark force. going yes. she was. going to see how much did. you know something's not right here didn't feel well eventually there was an official statement put out that the that they managed to detain the suspected murderer and whereas the in the station at this point at this

point the investigators they have questioned the suspect in this is back to murder he admitted he admitted his guilt in fact we have a moment of his confession on tape. maury. is very. very serious. so his version of events was again all of these are his words and all of those have to be verified and checked and investigated by the police but he's saying that he kind of squatted in one of the garages illegally and the little girl little lisa she was just passing by and she asked him a question as to whether or not he knew who the garage belonged to so he figured that it must have belonged to her parents so strangled her and what's the situation in the city right now well this is the city's a shaken up i mean it's it's not it's not the smallest cities some

800000 people live there but i mean still it's not it's not it's not it's not too big but people are scared and they want justice only volunteers gathered in front of the garage he was in a police car everyone was charlatan. give him to us and then he changed his clothes and the police drove him away got will judge him what else can i say these people should never be allowed out of prison but our government lets them out but this is just my personal opinion and now we're very afraid of live in our children alone in the streets but their concern and their dissatisfaction is rooted in the fact that many of them believe that the law simply is right now is not capable of delivering a punishment was severe enough punishment this man is deserving of so there are calls for instance to bring back the capital punishment for him but i mean there's still a long way from that and the investigation is still ongoing. but ima putin has

raised concerns that islamic state fighters might escape or brought you to turkey's offensive in northern syria artie's nikki erin reports. speaking earlier today president putin really highlighted a serious concern that islamic state fighters being held in north eastern syria are at risk of escaping due to the turkish military operation there and he made these comments during talks with his counterparts the presidents have turkmenistan they touched upon a range of international issues but putin really did underscore his concerns about this ongoing turkish military operation in north inferior called peace spring here's what he had to say. their resumes in northeast syria where i saw fighters are concentrated the zones were secured by kurdish fighters if the turkish army enters them and the kurds leave these camps the isis fighters may flee i'm not sure that turkey will be able to take control of them in time according to our

intelligence there are hundreds and thousands of ice or militants where will they go this is a real threat to all of us along with those serious concerns person also said you know he's really worried that the turkish military won't be able to bring the situation under control rapidly enough he also said that russia will not be getting involved in the situation whatsoever he also said he has grave concerns about the scenario just not just for the region but also as a risk to the rest of the world also now as i said a lot of international topics were touched upon during these talks with the president of turkmenistan one of those being the i.n.f. treaty that is of course the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty that was the treaty that bound the u.s. and russia together but the u.s. decided to abandon it and russia says that now it's not going to putin said that russia is not going to stand aside idly and watch the u.s. while it works on developing its own intermediate range missiles and russia will be

working on its own projects to. the pentagon has said it's going to place its newly tested missile in asia they are currently negotiating with japan and south korea it's a clue. the number one target is but we're not happy about that is it can reach russian territory we will work on creating such intermediate range missiles to now that the americans have them stated that we're not going to deploy such missiles globally in places where the americans don't have any but there's been no reply to that statement strangely only silence i think the us deliberately doesn't reply and their allies kemel say anything without them because in this sense their sovereignty is severely limited so maybe they do have an opinion on the matter but they just don't voice it was all of that concerns us is staying with the us person also shared his thoughts on nato drills of course the us recently announced the largest military drills in europe and that being held right on the border with

russia this is something that putin did kind of make light of he said it's something he's not going to be losing sleep over and he also kind of hinted that russia had been a lot more considerate in holding its own drills because they had been done in the center of the countries there was not to bother anybody else outside of russia some of that typical of president putin humor there so those are some of the highlights from those talks today in the capital of that minister we spoke to political analyst chris bambery who says the current situation in syria poses a wider international threat. the key driving force in that world the kurdish forces they have those prisoners anything which threatens the release of those is a threat as he said to lead not just a regional threat of tension great threat all worlds once again we're talking about a region where the kurdish region which over why not just with turkey and syria but with iran the involvement of other regional powers in that conflict again as we've

seen for well over a decade now what's happening in syria has got consequences elsewhere in that region and exploited region involves your sodium arabia in particular but also israel so any escalation there again threatens peace and what's the billeted the rigs in that region and the whole kodesh issue is potentially explosive as we know in the region because it has got implications in iraq which i feel to mention as well iraq iran syria and turkey i mean you know this is a big potential issue and the explosive issue. ukrainian pay has published documents he says reveal corruption involving kids the u.s. democratic presidential hopeful joe biden 2014 biden was the u.s. france president and the go to man for ukraine well as son hunter was on the board of a ukrainian gas company skew taylor has more. with its big personalities and explosive revelations politics is like a good t.v.

show take the bidens ukraine plot for example which is currently stealing all the time former vice president joe biden his son hunter trump of course i mean crane in president all have recurring roles but a new character has appeared on the scene ukrainian m.p. andrei catch now to catch us and took center stage and accuse biden of making a pretty penny from his dealings in ukraine and with one company in particular mission it was considering so this was the transferred. the barisan groups funds for lobbying activities as investigators believe personally to joe biden through law being company funds the amount of $900000.00 were transferred to the u.s. based company seneca partners which according to open sources in but secured the new york times is if. payment reference was payment for consultative services just a quick intro to the reason a group is one of the largest natural gas companies coincidentally or not hunted by

2 was on its board of directors for almost 5 years a job he was entirely qualified for having no background in the energy sector or indeed many experience of ukraine but his father was the obama administration's point man for ukraine so why not any way to capture the published documents which show that over many years the brits macgruber almost $1000000.00 to a company called rosemont seneca partners before anyone cries foul and says photoshop been up to its old tricks the money transfers can be seen black or white in a federal court fall from an unrelated new york law suit there's nothing concrete to suggest that biden sr has been sconce in a big leather chair at rosemont seneca but let's just rewind a few years. the year is 2009 joe biden's riding high he's vice president but poor old hunt is not doing so well his

cryptocurrency fund is going through a rough patch off to one of its key people and stanford is court red handed and charged with forward to the tune of a tidy sum the indictment alleges that stanford in his co-defendants engaged in a scheme to defraud investors who purchased approximately $7000000000.00 mr tickets of deposit c.d.'s administered by the stanford international bank ltd so hard to decide to see green a posture has and sets up a new company rosemont seneca partners he got sutton christopher hines on board who conveniently happens to be the stepson of future secretary of state john kerry it's a small world of people who couldn't cash in on their family name rosemont seneca advertised itself as a consultancy that just wanted to help small and middle sized companies expand not just across the u.s. but into foreign markets to. the year is now 2010 and

response out of has partnered with a little for the stilton group and continuing his good company hunt to chooses as his partner james bulger the nephew of new tourists us thanks to whitey bulger who modified the gruesome and in prison just last year so sensational was his life he even got a movie based on a. come. remember. when you see these movies. so here we have this happy trio the v.p. saw on the future of state stepson and the nephew of a mob boss flying around the wall trying to get money from investors. but he is now 20 thought teen and joe biden's on an official visit to china 2.

and in photos from the trip hunters by his side just a regular full of the song trip except 2 weeks later and his buddies signed off a $1000000000.00 investment contract from china is the wall just full of coincidences. the year is now 2018 and hunters again in a bit of a pickle as co-founder of rosemont seneca owen fellow director of the barisan a group is charged with security fraud it's funny how many bad apples hunter's been surround by like i said every t.v. show has got big personalities and big revelations and it would seem a very tangled web of characters. 5 people have been killed in more than a week of unrest over government austerity measures in ecuador's capital among the demonstrators with thousands of indigenous people leaders condemned president learn

the merinos decision to cut fuel subsidies as part of a loan deal with the international monetary fund. i. feel lighter capital quito our correspondent nicholas donovan is there follow you venture what's the latest. ok i'm not sure we're going to hear me there just to. ok no we have some trouble with the connection with our correspondents in quito we have been following events

there throughout the last few days has been a lot of unrest we will come back live to if indeed we can restore the connection. in the meantime let's talk about the legendary soviet cosmonaut alexei leon of who has passed away sadly today at the age of 85 in 1965 he conducted the 1st ever space walk that marked a major milestone in the history of space exploration there and had an illustrious career he commanded the soviet half of the historic apollo mission in 1975 the 1st joint space mission between 2 superpowers the capsule docked with the american apollo capsule for 2 days in space with astronauts and cosmonauts traveling between the space ships. or nasa has expressed condolences on the loss of alexei low enough they interrupted

the live broadcast from space to commemorate the cosmonauts. enough was also a writer and artist and created more than 200 paintings that depicted his adventures in space is name was given to mean creators as well as streets and schools in russia and there are monuments to the cosmonauts in the russian capital r.t. sophie shevardnadze interviewed alexei leon of several years ago he described what it felt like stepping into outer space for the 1st time. what does the earth from the outside 8 go what got a blur. when i got out of the spaceship and stood on the shuttle edge i said suddenly indeed the earth is round we left the spaceship at a height of almost 500 kilometers from the nidia point to the horizon i could see a circle with a radius of almost 2750 kilometers i could see 5500 kilometers which is half of the earth it looked like a globe or

a very good map and some parts were covered with clouds and it was so quiet it was so quiet i could hear my heartbeat i could hear my breathing it was all because of the earth all of a sudden i heard attention attention someone has gone into space and is floating weightless lee. at the back of the barack. and i was even more surprising to hear the legs a please come back soon that we're waiting for you on earth it was in a britain of speaking. it was a mixture of joy grief and sadness something absolutely extraordinary all this took some 10 to 12 minutes that's dimming all this how long did the flight take with what says just sort of 26 hours. its length was not the main objective it was impossible to surprise anyone at that time the question was whether it was

possible to live and work in outer space. i was to solve this problem. and you can watch artie's documentary taking a space walk by heading to our website and the special project on space exploration r t $360.00 that's available on our you tube channel. ok let's get back to the ecuadorian capital quito that scene of violent unrest from protesters over the last few days our correspondent nicholas o'donovan is there an effort. to restore the connection so good to see you again nick. just take us through this today what's the saying. let's say we if we're lucky with the signal this time locked up 9 days the rest in riots. is for another day of silence and hundreds and hundreds of indigenous and stolen guns in the capital the angel in thousands that camp in just a cough a mile away where i'm from and they straight just went straight to the to the

national assembly and riot stopped and it made me immediately but the early hours of the day and right now and it's pasta news and. rioted and they're still clashing with police officer more than 750 arrests and indigenous people say in 6 protestors at being killed in these riots and what we have behind me is that because of the couture it's a public building and the attachment they use they set their headquarters and they actually kidnapped they retained 8 police officers here yesterday they had them or take hours off to release them and and they had some journalists in there to some information site that had 27 journalists in there one of them in that building and just a few feet away of where i'm at now was was attacked by some of the protesters here

quickly the rest of the protesters the indigenous people said that it wasn't them it was an isolated incident incident but i have to say that today i've no taste a lot of tension with media as well they don't know i christine him one and they want to report but they don't really like us showing anything around there they blame us for a lot of things here that are going on in the country car takes place in winter national media but there's a lot of tension with the media that's why we took a step back and but over there there's now little thousands of people. still clashing with police armed in what i can only describe as a small army because they came in march in and they were they were had they were where in. helmets and they were they were using homemade weapons sticks and and rocks and bottles that they were headed straight forward to the national assembly but i've heard some people telling me that their intention is to storm the

presidential palace monday so i'm pretty sure the intelligence community knows that and that's why they brace in and that's why they protect in that presidential palace with the military falls what we see in here if we can have a town over there is plenty of police not the military the military is not leaving the perimeter. presidential palace that they still question only with late if they try to storm the palace selfish will say the military won't stand that they won't step down so if that happens on monday that's going to be a bloody day and all of that while while we talk in it's already 6 people have lost their lives that's according to digital sneakers and is being dozens and dozens of people engine among them dozens of police the injured today we know that we've seen the footage and seen the images they were very close to the national assembly and

they have been badly hurt by molotov cocktails thrown at them by protesting. what they want icici they still want moreno out of the government to be conscious. that that austerity measures that scrapped subsidies for fuel have basically diesel and gasoline if you can't do that they want him out and they want the minister of defense out for sure regardless of what happens because they say he's not been handling the situation correctly and has been using excessive force actually lots of ensign. national agencies have already set full speed mused here in quito the phoenix what we see now is violent clashes specially in the city center and tension tension often non days at political unrest and riots here and. now the unrest and the violence so i can tell you something is right up today there

from the ecuadorian capital quito that's nicholas. ok wrap things up for this news hour appreciate you company here on r.t. join me for updates in half an hour. why a paradise with some around turned into a round the experimentation field but agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritant there's no question otherwise why would the chemical company workers themselves be geared up and suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments but often in day you have many of

these people one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental research going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with those because the people have less political power.
