i. i i. i i. divisions in spain deep in is the catalonia crisis intensifies with separate is protest now into their 2nd week i guess debate the issue. the solution is quite easy it's the same company out putting them off over that mission so you don't want to negotiate you want to go up to your condition also this an 80 year old rabbi helping palestinian farmers in the west bank is briefly beaten by water alleged to have been masked israeli settlers. fall for people and started to beat

me with clubs and with stones. with clubs on my head so i tried to defend myself with my head until the both my youth and. media in the us come up with a new catchphrase to denigrate the unconventional views of presidential hopefuls. follow their welcome it's midday here in moscow you're watching r.t. international protests continue to rage in catalonia with pro independence supporters angered by the jailing of separatists leaders a week ago on sunday people rallied outside the spanish government's residence in barcelona bags of rubbish they were calling for the release of the 9 jail separatists linked is found guilty of sedition for their involvement in the referendum 2 years ago it was deemed to be illegal by mid. meanwhile the national

newspapers are also being dragged into the castle and control of a city medina called jennifer expect. one country one nation well not when it comes to spain the status once again divided over catalonia and it's an dependence it's 2 years since the referendum and it hasn't done much for them that and it seems there is not much clarity over the issue so are you spanish or are you catalonia well it's hard to decide even for the country's leading newspaper that came out on saturday with 2 differ in hand lines well this is a national edition and it says massive march of independence for the freedom of the damned and this one says violent groups spread chaos and the center of barcelona barcelona has become the at the center of the separation movement and is literally on fire every day some protesters take the idea of an dependence to the extreme.

but not everyone shares that view even and barcelona. this road to self-determination but whatever you do do it within the law if you want to have a referendum do it according to the rule we've seen a lot of violence and alarm on the streets we can't allow that to scare off the tourists our streets to be destroyed and the protesters do whatever they want the constitution must be respected and must be respected no matter what that list that alone your bones to everyone. colonia is what it is because of the efforts of.

people like my grandparents my parents and myself so why should they drive me away from cut along one must stop being spain ish the man who started all this is quietly sitting out the crisis in brussels but protesters in the streets are blaming madrid our politicians have been asking for dialogue since years and they are always the naive and the police and they think that with the recession we would change our thoughts that they could be uplifted because during this week every day and every night there is more and more protest in the street yonder establishing this conflict dates back centuries it goes way back now the stakes are high ok you need to show that we're ready for to tell you who can talk and have a referendum agreed by let us vote in peace and tranquility and since this relationship between spain and catalonia has been broken out old old so no no way no way out no no way back you know what i mean because at the moment i don't

believe in spain i don't believe in. anything in spain and i don't want to be part of this pain anymore while the catalan president says violence has never been their past radical groups have spread throughout the city hijacking the protests and what has been the response from petro sons has government the government to spain reiterates that the problem of catalonia is not independence which will not occur because it's not legal nor to the majority of catalans want it but rather coexistence matric could still trigger article $155.00 of the constitution which would allow in just the sound the ration of government and as soon direct rule but so far prime minister sanchez has fallen short of doing this is facing a general election in november and right now it's not looking good these protests and the lack of response. this might prove fatal to the central government sanchez

has been accused of sticking his head in the sand over the crisis sanchez says that with moderation everything will end up going where it has to the community dialogue with those who make. the government cannot remain paralyzed before this tsunami of violence mr sanchez article 155 we are late. it's not unusual for spain though the pack for getting adopted after franco died and his regime fell basically an ally of the new government to not deal with anyone a new thing franco related like move on nothing to see here but will this approach work nowadays or is it time to take has out of the sand and finally face the problem because until they do cats a one year could be burning at the end of their reporting with a newspaper has since said that the consistency in these headlines pose down to the different opening times of their divisions in the country we discuss possible

solutions to the catalonia crisis with 2 political scientists the solution is quite easy it's the same time to. producing all the political prisoners and then the police recovered in the streets that's if when the moment that we reach this thing anything is going to stop having to stop but that's a growing problem that we're not of the professors thus blackmail so you're going to send by all in stupid to government to negotiate. when the government says it's to do one the government to agree we saw you have approved so you don't want to negotiate you want me to accept your conditions. well we had to know that they got down on one of the all of. the moment and you know i mean it was they broke it. great groups and it was truth in there with the do stick with regard to justice

that's. wonderful from the fish story but i don't think that it's pretty far from the truth of it in the constitution that there is no right or for that it does not recognize this private so that their mission i think we have been asking for that for this right to be recognized but contentious and get along it is the public so that there minister a referendum on we can be talking if it is the. big bill through but that of in there and then the 48 percent or $55.00 about the only way or the way to solve this international it with is with a referendum so that their mission that we didn't get a warning out we didn't know spain or which is ever going to make rich country you've got rules to follow and you can't you can't you have goals for action you got so many british margreet so many politician that archibald g. you've got talent courage you can do thing you can go to madrid with them and you

can both with them and one of them in the genes do what you do share my beliefs don't stand we don't be able to fight to destroy each because we are going to wind up like this conflict needs to be solved democratically the only reason i think i don't have a problem is with a fine if you're one of them and they're on a spring the. masked attackers have beaten up an elderly rabbi in the west bank while he was helping palestinian farmers to pick olives for other volunteers including foreign nationals were hurt the farmers located near israeli settlement and the rabbi suspects that's where his attackers were from. we're picking all leaves. suddenly we heard shouts in hebrew. go away go away we don't heal. people started to run away because we are not violent of course we are against any violence whatsoever they came with clubs i

don't clubs and stones in the old people you know or run away but i'm. 80 years old it was it would be difficult for me after all couldn't run away they returned me 4 or 5 people and started to beat me with clubs and with stones. with clubs on my head so i tried to defend myself with my head through the broken. i mean plaster now. and stones one of the stones. to my head it was blood intolerably the people probably form the settlement called me to how the. jewish school with. the students known for the violence and for aggression in the us this is actually the reason that we are we all of the to defend the palestinians

from them the israeli police have launched an investigation and the settlement say was issued a statement it says that the farmers and volunteers posed a potential threat by coming too close to the young post the west bank is home to a large palestinian population but it is also an occupied territory with israelis establishing settlements there clashes between palestinian and jewish communities and frequently in the region the rabbi again says he wants the fighting to stop. politically i think they put this thing in. the right for self-determination as we jews have all right for the who didn't in israel i think the 2 states but it's been an israeli should leave each to our to our the next to the other. the but unfortunately not happening. but our aim is that organisation was

not political our aim is human is human and we do our best to. this mission. now the wiki leaks founder and journalist expected to appear in person later on monday at westminster magistrates' court in london the full extradition hearing is scheduled for february and at today's hearing the sides will present their respective initial arguments for and against the u.s. extradition request meanwhile meltzer a un special rapporteur on torture visited the sangean prison him a long with a medical experts and he says that sound has been subjected to sustained psychological torture that is cause the u.k. authorities to investigate has been turned then. i asked you. to the next update on the current. case of the violation to all of prosecute and punish all of officials.

for 4 months i didn't receive any results. she. responded in a very short greyish 2 paragraph letter rejected all allegations. to treatment for mr sutton that he was free. to quit or at any time and so clearly they did not. investigate it because it was request kingdom it's apparently to the united nations convention against torture which of winders all but it's hard to conduct a criminal and an original investigations assuming there is a reasonable ground you know kingdom has a clear road treaty obligation to investigate this case passion.

in the u.s. assigned huge charged with possession and distribution of classified information have found guilty he could receive up to 175 years in prison the journalist has been in washington's crosshairs for more than a decade that after wiki leaks published a video showing the u.s. military attacking journalists and civilians in iraq in july of 2007 sanchez currently serving a 15 week sentence in the u.k. for jumping bail back in 2012 meltzer again says his right to due process has also been systematically violated clearly shoulders have turned but it is typical for victims of such a logical torture because mr assad has been isolated it's barely controlled by him and for more than 6 years. we could identify the causes for these symptoms bits of a degree of certainty we could see is that there was this humility of stress levels that were added by the various systems the arbitrary judicial procedures that sound

like torture for someone spontaneously but after a couple of years when you're with every state authority you're exposed to treats you with extreme arbitrariness and bias you will become an action as and you will lose trust in your a moment. still to come here in r.t. the u.s. is relocating its troops from syria but they aren't heading home the summit hoped would look at where they're going just after the break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race is on offer and spearing dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. say now us democrat 2020 hopeful has hit back at hillary clinton's insinuations

that she's getting help from russia she explained why she thinks these claims are being made against. but if they can falsely portray me as a traitor then they can do it to anyone and in fact that's exactly the message that they want to get across to you that if you stand up against hillary and the party powerbrokers if you stand up to the rich and powerful elite in the war machine they will destroy you and discredit your message earlier hillary clinton alleged a female democratic candidate is being groomed by moscow she added to that russia has launched an online campaign to support a bid for the white house her most came after russia came up in the latest democratic debate with certain race topics now being branded is kremlin talking points into print reporters. what you're about to see probably means it's time for someone to go and we get pedia and come up with the page for one new yet already

well established concept talking points that really came out of the kremlin from the talking points kremlin talking points of russia talking points kremlin talking points of kremlin's talking points kremlin talking points is what i was talking about so why waste time on pronouncing the full 3 words if the kremlin talking points are really everywhere couldn't we just say katie p's that would probably save white house candidates a few seconds of their debating time anyway speaking of the democrat debates even saying something like this we have to that russia know look we get it we've tempered with other elections you've tempered with our elections and now it has to stop and if it does not stop we will take this is an act of hostility against the american people will get you katie p. busted i now retract any vaguely nice thing i have a set a bad yank knowing technology things because he answered the question on putin with moral equivalency and the kremlin tool can point it will take

a few seconds of let's say googling to realize that andrew yang is making a valid point american journalists people working for the government have written about how the us pulled political strings abroad in the past but nowadays damn it cram one talking point alert comes the reaction here's something else from another dumb candidate donald trump has the blood of the kurds on his hand but so do many of the politicians in our country from both parties wait for it literally crawling talking point that whatever look apart from told seem pretty much everyone who's capable of doing a bit of research pointed that out all kinds of media ran the story on how different generations of d.c. politicians turn their back. it's on the kurds so katy p.s.r. haunting americans just about everywhere someone takes a hit at the democratic leadership for not being progressive kremlin talking point

someone has a go a john mccain for being too belligerent kremlin talking point fears of a nuclear war another quote talking point i'll tell you what though why would a few absolutely sane people from way outside the kremlin walls would just call these comments or concerns legit points do you know any more examples for the k.t. p. we keep pedia page anyway at least it's a bit of free publicity for moscow's most famous landmark there are a number of ways that we can refute a particular case that we're talking about in the in this instance number one is a call something a conspiracy theory conspiracy there is when somebody says something which is usually drew that you don't like now we have a new version of this when you say this repeatedly kremlin talking point kremlin talking point people will start to believe it then when you say it when it's

received yes excellent you must be well read you've said kremlin talking point at least 6 times in that sentence welcome aboard remember the election is in 13 months instead of them worrying about what kind of world they're going to be promising democrats or people who vote for them they're talking about the kremlin and dusting off roofs so fall big red baiting nonsense. now the us is putting out more of its troops from northern syria however they are not on their way back home as some expected. the current game plan is for those forces to reposition in western iraq the ones coming out that's original 1000 and then 2 missions one is to defend iraq and 2 is to perform a count isis mission the pentagon has not ruled out the possibility of the troops being sent back to syria at a later date to conduct anti terror operations president donald trump apparently

has of the right is because on twitter he did say he was bringing soldiers home but then that tweet was removed a couple of hours later and then reposed with a reference to bringing troops home removed it's a pledge though he's often made before. we have won against isis we've beaten them and we've beat now badly now we've won it's time to come back we just took over you know you kept hearing it was 90 percent 92 percent the caliphate in syria now it's 100 percent we just took over we're not get the hell out of isis will become another syria like very soon it's time to bring our soldiers back home that's the way it is on thursday washington did negotiate a 5 day ceasefire between turkey and the kurds in syria and this is to allow kurdish forces to pull back turkey wants to establish a so-called safe zone reaching 32 kilometers into syria both sides have accused each other though of violating the cease fire incursion into northern syria began

early this month right after the u.s. said it was leaving the region middle east analyst sandra bruno told us that america's exit has nothing to do with strategy. i think trump is trying to find a way to silence his critics so. they've created this idea that they can shift the 1000 troops gradually from the base in northern syria to iraq this makes it seem like they're just redeploying the troops to where they're more needed strategically as if there is some kind of plan so i think it's a tactic for political gains at home rather than actual strategic gains in iraq some news in brief starting lebanon where people they're venting their anger over the dice a to be economy the protests began over now scrapped plans to tax ports and. other

rescue measures voted on later today. and in brazil thousands of catholics are celebrating after the canonization of the 1st brazilian born female saint system will say is known as the mother of the poor. and the tornado ripped through dallas texas on this sunday some 100000 people were left without electricity some homes destroyed seawall though no serious injuries or fatalities were reported. you know it's a good to have you company don't forget you can also keep yourself updated on our social media pages and you to check.

out what politicians do. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to. have to write to be press it's like before 3 in the morning can people that. i'm interested in the waters of our. question. is this is a sticker from the water bottle phone in the stomach of the fish the brand is part of the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers there are the bad ones there the litter bugs are throwing this away industry should be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic. on to. do cookouts those excuses all demand that seems cool sets for their classes kristie stay close to

a lie and only stay on your own hands at a special projects funded we tell the difference and also agree on i knew that that is the end of it for the city of fun now the mountains of waste only grow higher. they were going on the road 24 hours ahead of a court appearance by the brother religion manchester arena bomber be extradited from a libya destroyed by nato warplanes coming up in a show on the anniversary of wiki leaks iraq revelations exposing british military

incompetence we speak to the u.k. television services whistleblower catherine played by keira knightley in the new film official secrets about tony blair's involvement in corrupting the united nations security council devoting for war and the spanish state sponsored violence in catalonia is defacto backed by the european union we'll ask what it would take for the pro independence s.n.p. to support to break that plus we speak to the lawyer of one of the democratically elected politicians being hunted down by e.u. backed spanish authorities told us more coming up in today's going underground but 1st we speak to one of britain's greatest whistle blows katherine gun played by keira knightley in the new film official secrets souring refines and matt smith about british corruption of the united nations security council to aerially bombard and occupy the middle east gather and welcome back to going underground so what's it like being played by keira knightley portraying the misery and pain as tony blair's allegedly. trying to destroy you for revealing that britain was part of

a sinister plan to corrupt the un security council i never have to choose who pays me. and now it's amazing great actress and she portrayed it really well i think and now she actually caused me to sympathize with her when i watched that usually sympathize with you. surely i mean you believe the plan was just spy on the un security can. and so members and then potentially blackmail them into voting for the war on iraq that these 2 guys put it yes that was and that is what happened i mean they did actually send out you know send out people to africa to african nations to south america to you know talk about withdrawing aid or giving aid and various things in the run up to the war there was a big campaign to get people on board to vote for this u.n.

security council resolution over this is this really blackmail and that's what the memo yes the erect their g.c. h.q. said because david oberland the former head of g.c.a. has been normal this show actually proudly about g.c. h.q. he said. he said everything was by the book at him did not ask him directly about what you did g c h q though there was some solidarity with the fact you blew the whistle on this memo that appeared in your outlook in books wow a few of my friends yeah they're still my friends and they do you know they've left them saudis and so it's all right for them to be seen with me and you know be in correspondence with me someone in this building has betrayed their government and their country other people who are still working there i don't know how they feel whether they support me or not i don't know but they certainly wouldn't give that impression to g.h.q. your defense as portrayed in the film even well maybe you were on the red carpet

with ralph with joe mcdonald shadow chancellor was saying tony blair is no war criminal. that shouldn't be arrested and your defense was this war was illegal therefore you are right i find that extraordinary you know i mean there are a lot of questions so that having been on set about why they dropped the case against me why they charge me in the 1st place you know if they were just going to turn. around and drop it and they use they said it was 1st of all it was because. they couldn't. they were convinced of a conviction. so they didn't want to waste taxpayers' money subsequently they've said it was because i couldn't have a fair trial and you know it it begs the question why couldn't i have a fair trial what was what was their position did they actually think that what i what i did was the right thing to do.
