i think. i. was barcelona enters the 2nd week of protests in support of jail separatist politicians the catalan independence crisis looks like it will only intensify ahead of spain's general election next month also an 80 year old rabbi helping palestinian farmers in the west bank is brutally beaten by ouattara ledged been masked israeli settlers. full of people instilled in me with clubs and with stone. with clubs on my soul i tried to defend myself my head told them broke my youth and. stablished media in the us come up with

a new catchphrase to denigrate the unconventional views of presidential hopefuls. have a good afternoon you're watching r t international protests have been gripping the spanish region of catalonia with pro independence activists angry over the jailing of separatist leaders a week ago on sunday people rallied outside the spanish government residence in barcelona and. they were calling for the release of the 9 jail separatist leaders found guilty of sedition for their involvement in the referendum 2 years ago that was deemed to be illegal by trade meanwhile a national newspaper is also being dragged into the catalan controversy as medina court next spring.

one country one nation well not when it comes to spain the status once again divided over catalonia and its and dependence and still here says 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 alfre day some protesters take the idea of an dependence to the extreme.

but not everyone shares that view even in 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 yes the catalonia belongs to everyone is what it is because of the efforts of. people like my grandparents my parents and my cell. so why should they drive me away from cut

along when must to stop being spain ish the man who started all of 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 always deny it so they just send 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 severson this conflict dates back centuries it goes way back now the stakes are high and we need to show that we're ready for the day we can talk and have a referendum agreed by all let us vote in peace and tranquility since this relationship between spain and catalonia has been broken at old at 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 there 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 do the majority of catalans want it but rather coexistence madrid could still trigger article $155.00 of the constitution which would allow in just the found the ration of government and that's whom 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 might prove fatal to the central government sanchez has been accused of sticking his head in the. sound over the crisis sanchez says that

with moderation everything will end up going where it has to recommend a 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 have out of the sand and finally face the problem because until they do cats in one year could be burning it in a question of reporting there with the newspaper has since explained the inconsistency in its headline saying it was down to the different opening times of their divisions in the country we discuss the possible solutions to the catalan crisis with 2 political scientists. the solution is quite easy it's the same time

to. releasing all the political prisoners and then the police brutality in the streets that's if when the moment that we reach this thing anything for me to stop having to think about the growing profit warning not of the professors thus blackmail so your excuse and by all in stupid force of government to negotiate. when the government says it's to do one the government do you agree we sort of thing you have pre-approved so you don't want to negotiate you want me to pay your conditions. well we had to know that they got i'm one of. the moment to give you the idea because they broke the demographic groups and it was group in there with the do stick with regard to justice that's.

wonderful refine the fish story but i don't think that it's pretty far from the truth of the constitution that there is no right of it does not recognize this private so that their mission of it i think we have been asking for that for this right to be recognized but also interesting that the lawn is the house so that there are many front referendum on we can be talking if it is the. big bill through but those of in the urban and then the 48 percent or $55.00 about the only way that all the way to solve the situation it with is without referendum so that the minissha that we didn't get a warning out we didn't know spain or which is ever going to make rich country you gotta look it's all wrong and you can't you can't you have work since you've got so many british margreet so many politician that archibald you you've got on college you can just think you can go to madrid with them and become both with them and one of them in the genes the constitution elites don't stand we don't be able to fight

to destroy each because we're going to need to bring the light this conflict needs to be solved democratically the problem is not think that i've got a problem in this with a fine if you're one of them and they're on a spring. in other news must attack is beaten up and that would leave rabbi in the west bank while he was helping palestinian farmers to pick olives for other volunteers including foreign nationals were hurt the farm was located near an israeli settlement and the rabbi to suspect 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 between when away they returned to me 4 or 5 people and started to beat me with clubs and with stones. with clubs on my head so i just tried to defend myself with my head through the broken. i mean plaster know. and stones one of the stones. to my head it was blood internally the people probably form the settlement called me to how the. jewish school with. the students known for the violence and for aggression in this is actually the reason that we are we all of the to defend the palestinians from them well the israeli police have launched an investigation and

a settlement has issued a statement that says the farmers and volunteers pace a potential threat by coming too close to the outpost the west bank is home to a large palestinian population but it's also an occupied territory today with israelis establishing settlements there clashes between palestinian and jewish communities occurs frequently in the region rabbi again says he wants the fighting to stop. politically i think the palestinians deserve the right for self-determination is we jews all right for you can in israel i think the 2 states where the stadium is where you should we each do our 2 are the next to the other. the but unfortunately not happening. but our aim is that organization is not political our human is human and we do our best to food distribution. of us

democrat 2020 hopeful has hit back at hillary clinton's insinuations that she is getting help from russia she explained why she thinks these claims are being made against her. 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 hillary clinton did allege that a female democratic candidate was actually being groomed by moscow she added to that russia has launched an online campaign to support a bid for the white house remarks came after russia came up in the latest democratic debate with certain rights topics now being branded as kremlin talking points as a prank or explains. 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 point kremlin talking points of russia talking points kremlin talking points of kremlin's talking points of 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 let russia know look we get it we've tampered with the 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 talking 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 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 katie 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 at john mccain for being too but what durant kremlin talking point fears of a nuclear war. 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 eating a 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 he is when somebody said 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 a 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 full that red baiting nonsense. that i had to see the us is relay casing its troops from syria but they are heading home to some expected but haven't a clue where they are getting just off the bridge. it's

seemed wrong. to me. to shape out just to become educated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. what politicians do. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to be precise it's like them before 3 of them or can't be good. interested always in the waters about how. they should.

not the wiki leaks find and journalists doing the song is expected to appear in person later on monday at westminster matches court in london the full extradition hearing is show june 5th february although today's hearing the sides will present their respective initial arguments for and against the u.s. extradition request. a un special rapporteur tour on torture this is it a songe in prison back in may long with 2 medical experts and he says that his son she's going to subjected to staying psychological torture and that he's called for u.k. authorities to investigate has been tempered. by us the u.k. to investigate this part. to

a case of child the violation to law school of prosecute and punish the music all and all officials. for 4 months i didn't receive any results of well. you know. resulted in a very short outreach 2 paragraph letter but they rejected all issues. walthew treatment for mr assad and that he was free to pursue a quick war at any time and so clearly they did not investigate because it was request kingdom are the 2 oceans convention against torture which of winders all but it's hard to conduct original investigations assuming there is a reasonable ground you know the moment the clear treaty obligation to investigate

this case passion. while in the us a songe is charged with possession and distribution of classified information if found guilty and could receive up to 175 years in prison the journalist has been in washington's crosshairs for more than a decade that after we kill it's published a video showing the u.s. military attacking journalists and civilians in iraq in july of 2007 when junior sanj is currently serving a 15 week sentence in the u.k. for skipping bail back in 2012 now smelter again though says his right to due process has also been systematically violated. clearly shoulders have to remember this typical for victims of a logical courtroom because mr suit has been a solicitor really controlled by him and for more than 6 years. we could identify the causes for these symptoms with 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 busy with every state authority you're exposed to treats you with extreme arbitrary mists and bites you will become an action as and you will loose the trust in your a moment. some world news in brief flash starting with lebanon where people there venting their anger over the dire state of the economy the protests began over an hour scrapped the plan to tax what's app uses of the rest measures been voted on later today elsewhere in brazil thousands of catholics are celebrating their after the canonization of the 1st the 1st brazilian born female saint sister d'orsay is known as the mother of the poor and a tornado has ripped through dallas texas on sunday some 100000 people were left without electricity some homes were destroyed 2 although no serious injuries or

fatalities were reported. in. the u.s. is putting out more of its troops from northern syria however they are not on their way back home 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 r.c.s. 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 did apparently have other ideas because on twitter he did say he was bringing soldiers home and then that sweets was removed a couple of hours later then repasted with a reference to bringing troops home removed is a pledge though is often made before. we have won against isis we've

beaten them and we've beat number 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 going 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 recently 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 so reaching 30 kilometers into syria both sides have accused each other of violating the cease fire incursion into northern syria began early this month right after the u.s. said it was going to leave the region middle east analyst at a sound very bruno told us that america's exit has nothing to do a 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. and that's how the nice looking the south the need here in our thinking to have a company back again with the headlines and more stories at the top and. there are no official statistics in india concerning children who have been lost or separated from their parents something to estimate that every 30 minutes and.

country the child goes missing. i'm not. looking at. the national human rights commission stating that $44000.00 minors go missing every year while the police quoted. the united nations children's fund has described the situation as genocide and various sources suggest that in india there are several 1000000 missing women and children. you know world of big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than

ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. this is a sticker from a water bottle found in the stomach of a 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 are the litter bugs are throwing this away industry should be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic. that's. their place to. special projects funded.

on the new vest that is the end of it for the team but for now the mountains of waste only grow higher. the world is driven by shaped by one person. thinks. we dare to ask.

hello and welcome to cross talk we're all things are considered i'm peter lavelle do elections mean anything anymore well the ukrainians have a new president and a new parliament a change come slowly if at all in ukraine corruption and neo nazis along the way for. crosstalk ing some real news i'm joined by my guest robert bridge he's a r.t. website writer we also have nick like petro he is a professor of political science at the university of rhode island and of course we're joined by dmitri bob h. he's a political analyst and editor and interest me internet media project originally cross-talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it robert let me go to you 1st here i think a lot of people going to be surprised by the content of our program because when you crane is in the news flow they're thinking of joe biden paul man of fort 2016

election the d.n.c. we could go on and on oh and of course the famous phone call between the presidents of the united states and ukraine but we're going to talk about ukraine in a different way in a way that most people are not following we had an election where we have a new president it's own skin we have a new parliament overwhelmingly supported his agenda and him personally. but doesn't seem to have much traction. yes that's very true and it's unfortunate that you have this element this far right neo fascist element in ukraine that is really calling the shots and it's amazing to me that. zelinsky has 77 or maybe it's less now i think is about 66 percent support of the people that's a lot you know it's quite alive percent voted for him yes and i don't understand now how it's possible when you have this love of public support that the street can rise up like it has when when i'm starting to wonder when is it going to get to the point when the people say no we don't want another made because that's basically

what the neo i guess called the nazis yes we're going to that's basically what they're calling for there apparently there are there are reports that there's a threat and possible how did we get to this point because he you have to ask basic questions put to shame call came in as a centrist left i think is a much more nationalist right winger and we have zelinsky is very much a moderate i think his message resonated with the public so is he weak the institutions weak or both or is it just because there's a free fringe group out there that's trying to call the shots. the last. 24 teen demonstrated the weakness of basic institutions of government in ukraine and the absence of any understanding of the concept of rule of law and that has persisted from then on there is lip service to the terms but no.
