head until the broke while you and. and pro establishment media in the us come up with a new catchphrase to denigrate the unconventional views of presidential hopefuls. you're watching our to international coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turned 4 pm welcome to the program. spain's prime minister petro sanchez is in the catlin capital for talks with security chiefs and to visit injured police officers that's after a week of major protests in the region with angry pro independence activists demanding the release of jailed separatist leaders on sunday people rallied outside the spanish government's residence in barcelona and dumped bags of trash they were calling for the release of the 9 jailed separatist leader is found guilty of sedition for him. meant in an independence referendum 2 years ago deemed illegal by

madrid the spanish government has also rejected proposed talks with authorities claiming they have not condemned enough the violence of the protests in the region meanwhile a national newspaper has also been dragged into the controversy as monday the question of a explains one country one nation well not when it comes to spain the status once again divided over catalonia and its and 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 catalonian 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 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 yes the catalonia belongs to everyone 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 when must to 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 always deny it so they just send the police and they think that with this pressure on we would change our thoughts that they could be uplifted because during this week every day and every night there is more and more protests on the street yonder establishing 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 all at old so no no way no way out no no way back you know what i mean because 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 do the majority of catalans want it but rather coexistence matric could still trigger article $155.00 of the constitution which would allow him to suspend 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 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 that 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 pact of forgetting 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. newspaper has since explained the inconsistency and its headline saying it was down to the different opening times of their divisions we discussed possible solutions to the kalam crisis with 2 political scientists the solution is quite easy it's the same thing to negotiate. them off so that their mission producing all the political prisoners and then is regarded in the streets that's if when the moment that we reach this thing anything anything to stop having to stop but that's a growing problem that we're going north of the professors thus blackmail so or your decision to buy in stupid forced the government to negotiate. when the government says it's to do one the government you agree we saw 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 to. own decisions are all of the moment. the

idea because they broke the demographic groups and it was group in there with the do stick with regard to justice that's the. one they're for fun that's your story but i don't think that it's pretty far from the throw of the constitution that there is no right of it does not recognize this their private so that their mission i think we've been asking for that for this right to be recognized but contentious and got on your heart so that their initial referendum on we can be talking if it is like. so but those of in there and then the 48 percent or $55.00 about the only way that all the way to solve this international it with is without referendum so that their nation that we are learning out the spain or which ever gone democratic country you got rules to follow and you can't you can't you have what you got so many work partition margreet so many that are supporting you got talent

. you can just think you can go to madrid with them and you can both with them in the genes do what you do sure but please don't stand we don't be able to fight to destroy each because we are going through in the light this conflict needs to be solved democratically the problem is not think i don't have a problem in this with the fundies i want on their own aspirin. mast attackers have brutally beaten an elderly rabbi in the west bank while he was helping palestinian farmers pick all of 4 other volunteers including foreign nationals were injured as well the farm in question is located near an israeli settlement and the rabbi suspects that's where the attackers were from. with old leaves. suddenly we heard the shouts in hebrew. go away go away don't mean he'll settle etc people started to run. 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 were run away but i'm. 80 years old it was it would be difficult for me after all you can run away they returned me 4 or 5 people and started to beat me with clubs and we've stones i don't agree with the clubs on my head so i just try to defend myself with my hand through the broken. i mean plus to know. and storms one of the stones. to my head and it was blood being totally the people probably form the settlement code gets how the. jewish school. and the students known for the violence and aggression in their youth this is actually the reason that we'll we'll do

to defend the palestinians from them israeli police have launched an investigation all the settlers claim the farmers and volunteers post a potential threat by coming too close to the outpost ever more settlements are built every year in the west bank this is seen as an illegal occupation by both the palestinians and the international community some 200 localities have sprung up in the last 50 years with televisa authorising most of these are home to over half a 1000000 israeli citizens and clashes between palestinian and jewish communities flare up frequently in the region rabbi yehuda a again says he wants the fighting to stop. politically i think that the palestinians deserve the right for self-determination as we jews have all right for said you didn't in israel i think that 2 states by the state in israel you should believe each 2 are 2 other next to the other. the but unfortunately you

know type in many. but our aim is that organization has no political aim is human is human and we do our best to to the submission. us democrat 2020 hopeful tulsi gabbard has hit back at claims she's getting help from russia allegation was made by hillary clinton who blames moscow for or her own loss in 2016 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. clinton's remarks came after russia was brought up in the latest party debate where certain race topics now branded as kremlin talking points are trying to explain. what you're about to see probably

means it's time for someone to go and we get pedia and come up with a page for one new yet already well established concept talking points that really came out of the kremlin from one 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 a kremlin talking point it will take a few seconds of let's see 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 dammit 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 literally a 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 backs 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 a john mccain for being too belligerent kremlin talking point fears of a nuclear war. and 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 katie 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 this instance number one is a call something a conspiracy theory conspiracy theory 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 full 'd that red baiting nonsense. still to come the u.s. is relocating its troops from syria but they aren't headed home as some expect and look at where they're going in the 2nd half of the program.

born in the country last week the vatican elevated sister until say to a sainthood she was known as the mother of the 4. and a tornado ripped through dallas texas on sunday some 100000 people were left without electricity all some homes were destroyed it no fatalities or serious injuries were reported. the united states is pulling out more troops from northern syria however they are not on their way back home as some expect it. the current game plan is for those forces to reposition in western iraq the ones coming out that's original $1000.00 and then 2 missions one is to defend iraq and 2 is to perform accounts or his mission the pentagon is not ruling out the possibility of the troops being sent back to syria for anti terror operations the doll trump apparently has other ideas he said on twitter that he was bringing soldiers home but that tweet was removed just hours later and reposed with the reference to bring

troops home removed but it's a pledge he's made up more often. we have one good study says we've beaten them and we've beaten him badly now we've won it's time to come back we just took over you know you care period 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. now in the. say washington negotiated a 5 day cease fire between turkey and the kurds this is meant to allow kurdish forces to pull back wants to establish a so-called safe zone reaching 32 kilometers into syria both sides have accused each other of violating the cease fire turkey's incursion into northern syria began earlier this month right after the u.s. said it was leaving the region middle east analyst told us america's exit has

nothing to do with strategy. i think trump is trying to find a way to sign and 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 for digitally 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. that's a global news update for this hour but don't forget you can always head to our web site r.t. dot com for the details on all those stories and many more. facebook

hello and welcome to crossfire for all things are considered i'm peter lavelle do elections mean anything anymore well ask the ukrainians they have a new president and a new parliament but change comes slowly if at all in ukraine corruption and neo nazis blocked the way forward. ross talking 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 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 for 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 zones and 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 are it's quite alive percent voted for him and i don't understand now how it's possible.
