germany's announced that it's made it to russian embassy employees persona non-grata in connection with the murder of a georgian national in august but ins attorney general says there's evidence moscow may have been behind the killing it's a claim that russia vehemently denies evangelos its picks up the story. 2 employees of the russian embassy are to be expelled and are declared a person non grata after this new general tourney of germany is taking over the investigation of the murder of the chechen in berlin a last august with seem to be an asylum seeker in the country germany has taken this action against the russian employees and or to russia because they believe that russia has not done enough to help the authorities in germany looking into this investigation and they also say that berlin is taking this stance because they say that there is some sort of russian state level and for women and this word or

the federal foreign office today declared to employees of the russian embassy in berlin to be persona non-grata with this step of the federal government reacts to the fact that the russian authorities despite repeated high ranking and in fact requests did not sufficiently participate in the investigation of the murder of tony k.k. in berlin zoo there are sufficient real indications that the killing is either on commission or done by state agencies of the russian federation or such of the autonomy's chechen republic as part of the russian federation germany's prosecutors say or they have enough evidence linking the murder to moscow in article recently posted by the investigative group in the pointing finger is on last call that there was a link between the kremlin and the murder of the chechen ethnic last august here in berlin but let's talk about a little bit of what this group the billing code what we know about them so far is that they are of course ties to western secret services and they have played

a major role in major cases that involve the moscow case and the owning of h 17 in the ukraine russia has a come out with their own statement of both the reaction from berlin saying that this is groundless this is absolutely groundless speculation this topic is being somehow whipped up by german media but it does not mean it this is how things are. the us also been a reaction by e. german politician from the free democratic party alexandre graff alam store who spoke to the news agency a.f.p. he's asking for more information and it's a be clear shown to people why it is doing this we all i would like to point out here that next week in france the president of russia vladimir putin and the german chancellor angela merkel will be meeting in the normandy summit earlier from london today the chancellor angela merkel said that this would not affect in any way the

talks between the countries since this house to do with ukraine what she did leave open that it's possible that the latter bilateral relations between the 2 countries might get effected somehow. mccarran joined you know no need to discuss the victims background. 40 year on phil in congress village he was killed in what was described as an execution style killing he was shot twice in the head and this is a murder case that quickly became highly politicized in the media with headlines pointing the finger at russia drawing comparisons to describe things in the u.k. calling it the script pal 2.0 in fact the media were less interested however in delving into the history of the victim which makes quite an interesting read his c.v. is quite so it's quite a checkered history let's say he's an ethnic chechen georgian citizen he was an islamist a former soldier he fought against russia in the 2nd chechen war he has connections to some very high profile terrorists many of the fighters he fought alongside went

on to move to syria and join islamist groups there and he sought asylum in germany in 2015 that was after a failed assassination attempt was that the 1st time someone tried to kill him. he was actually on a terror watch list a quite some time here he was described as a person who potentially posed a threat to the public safety he was taken off start terror list only last year in just this right in 28 he was removed from that list now needless to say is past however interesting have a check it may be does not justify his killing and the perpetrator must be brought to justice but perhaps to give a fuller picture it's worth highlighting that this guy was not joe bloggs you know he was not your average everyday guy who was a man with connections to some very questionable individuals with some very extreme ideological tendencies. like to hand over in germany now dr i guess

he's a political commentator and columnist by the virtue of our to our business news but welcome back to our t.v. . broke from what you've seen certainly as far as the reporters going some links have been found really run with it what do you make of the suggested there's substantial evidence that the russian or church you know for a has been involved in this killing. well the problem is that we cannot trust any of those explanations from german governments at all it was already with this creep out it was with iraq all these so-called big evidences turned out to be just nothing and in this case to make such a big thing like sending 2 people home is without any proven. facts it is just a disgrace i'm feeling very ashamed of the federal bureau of foreign affairs your assessment of how germany is handling this case the but the russian embassy in

berlin says it's being needlessly politicized. well i think i see i put it into a broader conference maybe if you look at what is happening in the world you will see that everybody tries to get better relationships to russia at the minute because this is the biggest and most important market of the future on the or asian continent and there are some powers who might not want this and it seems that such a thing is suitable to on the one hand to poison the relationships between germany and russia which is which is one of the targets of some forces and secondly we have it is mike it might just be just a coincidence but it seems that there is some cleaning up work going on with isis and everything around and this high profile terrorist who was killed in

berlin. could or might be related to all 'd these happenings in there with isis and syria and so on and so i think before sending home russian diplomats without any proven evidence used 1st should really especially in this situation check the data and i think there can be many more reasons why this was done and who it did this apart from russia and how wounding could this potentially be between germany and russia they've had their differences over the past few years or so but germany is still russia's biggest trading partner in the you could this incident in the way this investigation is being handled and the ramifications of expelling those people from the embassy what kind of damage could that inflict. well i think the russian government knows pretty well that

german government and german industry art 2 totally different things and that the german government has no backing at the population and of the german industry so of course it is hard for a foreign government like russia to deal with germany when the german government is violating all relationships of their own industry and standing behind but i think in russia they know quite well that the german population is trying to get better much better relationships with russia and this is seen in all the polls that you do in all the questionnaire is that you that they do and the german government is maybe not acting in behalf of the germans but against the majority of the german population we've been putting up some of the headlines in the german media they've been making the obviously to compare it to the poisoning of the scribbles in

salisbury in the last year how helpful is that in terms of reporting the matter. but they can definitely see that there are certain interests who want to poison the relationship between russia and germany and this isn't for more than a 100 years ongoing strategy at certain powers and i think that politicians in russia and in other parts of the world are smart enough to see that there are some evil forces who want to who need war he will want to have poisoned relationships and not good relationships on the euro europe and the eurasian continent and i think this might harm the relationship to the german government but not to the german industry because i think by now everybody knows that these are 2 totally different things. good to hear

a viewpoint from within germany dr i go hey thanks for joining us on r.t. international you're welcome. next leaders of nato member states have been meeting for a 2nd day in london to mark the 70th anniversary of the world's most powerful military alliance despite attempts to put on a show of unity divisions within the crisis stricken coalition have been laid bare over the past 48 hours he's our elise been following the gathering in london. this summit is going to be defined not by the unity shown on the surface not least by all the leaders but by all the very very clear and apparent cracks between many of those coming into this summit perhaps one thing old leaders regularly seem to be agreed on is that russia is always the bad guy however the nato generally general secretary himself saying that what was needed was a more confrontation but dialogue with the major eastern neighbor nato essentially rodolfo to shop because russia is our. closest neighbor our biggest neighbor

we need to strive for a better relationship with russia. on even if we are have not able to. get a better relationship with russia in the near term we need to manage a difficult relationship and elsewhere as well we've also been hearing from manuel macron who's been saying that russia too that does need to be dialogue on that fronts now while they advocate more dialogue with russia the reality is of course that war games continue to take place on russia's borders with those eastern member states and of course that expansion of nato to the east continues to be a cause of national security concern for russia while any of the nato members such as take you for example who do wish to engage with russia even buy weapons from them will find themselves soon be out cost by other members russian air defense system s. $400.00 would never be integrated into nato it will never be part of the nato

integrated air missile defense system it was already tetchy in contentious going into this summit and it would appear that things got even worse last night many of the leaders one of the leaders were invited to buckingham palace for a reception with the queen and some of them were caught on the microphone on the hot mike. listen let's face it. if you feel. this is where he's really politician with who. is a. sick. sick sick. sick. to face through residential guy i find him to be

a very nice guy but you know the truth as. i told him out of the fact is i'm paying 2 percent. and i guess you don't really have to pay that donald trump not happy he had canceled scheduled a press conference it was due to be held at the end of this and will be leaving the summit early in fact he's been meeting with other leaders folk all 8 plus one who he says are the 8 countries other than the u.s. who have met the 2 percent spending target for military targets and so mr trump picking a very clear that certain countries canada and particular are not welcome not impressed with what he heard so overall a very very divisive conference here in london. a leading british universities being branded shameful and appalling over its advice regard life for people based at its campus in 2 by here's some of the advice that some the fire from academics students and the l.g.b.

community do not do anything that may be perceived as a public display of affection by the same sex or opposite sex even if it's intended to be innocent try to avoid dressing in a way which is not traditionally associated with your perceived gender if you are in public do not wear any clothes or accessories which could be considered to be a form of the l g q advocacy. the university of birmingham opened its campus in the united ambit last year offering a range of course is set to u.k. standards it's currently expanding in dubai with plans to accommodate more than $4000.00 students however there are concerns over the u.a.e. human rights record and treatment of the l.g.b. community that prompted a number of electors to refuse to take up positions in the kingdom which forbids same sex relationships the university though says the guidelines are there to protect students and staff last hour we discussed whether an educational institution should be offering such advice at all. there are thousands of.

people who work in the united arab emirates and do saw for many many years i have friends there who work there so i don't think is that much of an issue from the point of the of the university it's about protecting students and it's about having the right guidance and support in place to protect students as they study in the country of the university of birmingham has a very clear and very good equal opportunities policy a very strong policy around human rights diversity and inclusion and by going to dubai it is violating its very own rules and principles i mean i think quite clearly this is simply a money making exercise the university of birmingham has put profit before human rights i can't is to be with anything peter said about the regime in the u.a.e. or saudi arabia or some of the other despot regimes in the middle east where there is no human rights and there is no freedom but i think it's important for

individuals to know the expectation of you know now that the universities there how they should behave in terms of protecting themselves sorry let me rephrase that how they should conduct themselves how they should protect themselves their own safety and the safety of their peoples and i think that's what the university was trying to do for a balance in terms of security and in terms of safety can't have one law for people in britain and then a different law for people in dubai that smacks of arrogance its next of western privilege it smacks of disrespecting the human rights of the people of dubai and i want to say that this is not just about the human rights of the lecturers and staff of the university it's also about the human rights of the people in dubai itself who live under a very very oppressive regime reality is the university is there and they've got a juicy a moral duty to make sure that the safeguard and protection of their staff and

their peoples is done and they've done it in that way which i think is most responsible giving advice to people. impeachment proceedings in the united states are gathering steam after the house intelligence committee released what democrats are calling a damning report the document claims the president trump abused his office for personal gain by soliciting interference from ukraine for the 2020 election total trump's brand of the allegations a joke with the details his don't call to president donald trump is on the impeachment block again hearings are under way again and another impeachment reports been released accusing him of more than just a few misty perhaps that's why trump thinks it's a joke i saw it and it's a joke everybody saying it for the democrats though this is no laughing matter president trump and his senior officials may see nothing wrong with using the power of the office of the president to pressure a foreign country to help the president's reelection campaign however the founding

fathers prescribed a remedy for a chief executive who places his personal interests above those of the country impeachment remember the flunk that was russia gate robert muller's investigation into trump's alleged ties to russia 2 years in the making and yet to deliver the grand revelations it promised but that's yesterday's headline the democrats have no time to lose with the 2020 presidential election looming closer they've put their hopes in the new ukraine gate report which this time took only 2 months to put together the dems say impeachment wasn't an easy conclusion to come to but come on guys we've been hearing this stuff since trump took office our rise today mr speaker. to call for the impeachment of the president of the united states of america your son was that she was home alone if you want bully you don't want it and maybe things won't because we're going to go in there we're

going to be some other we shouldn't be impeached for a political reason and we should avoid punishment for political reasons it may be that we undertake an appeasement nonetheless the document is basically a summary of the impeachment hearing thus far it claims the testimonies were overwhelming evidence of trump's misconduct but some witnesses weren't as convincing as others there was no mention of withholding 8 on the call correct that's correct and there was no quid pro quo correct correct was there any reference to withholding aid you know there was not any reference to bribery no there was not any reference to quid pro quo no there was not you have any information regarding any criminal activity that the president of the united states has been involved with at all. now ukraine gate was handed to the dems by an anonymous whistleblower someone to put the final nail into the coffin of trump's political career someone protected from prosecution just what the anti trump brigade needed but you have to blow the right whistle to find protection under the

law to take julian assad which he spent 7 years hiding from the law in london's ecuadorian embassy without any sympathy from washington i think a son should be assassinated actually. contracted maybe use a draw or something but this guy is a traitor a treasonous and he has broken every law the united states the guy ought to be and i'm not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the death penalty want to do it illegally shoot the son of a i think the man is a terrorist act tough and say if we catch you we're going to hang you one has to wonder how the founding fathers would have treated someone claiming to stand up against tyranny if they were with us today. but we also florida democratic party chairman mitch caesar and media analyst know how weighty they think the report is. what we have here is unprecedented and no one knows what it means because it means nothing why do we call it an impeachment inquiry because if it was an impeachment

hearing or an impeachment proceeding the president would have been allowed to invite and to subpoena witnesses but since they didn't do that and didn't want him to do that they called it an impeachment inquiry and they have not changed one i ota from what they said when they began the inquiry that and i will paraphrase it the president used to his position his authority under article 2 of the constitution for personal and or political benefits. and the last time i checked every president since george washington is done this this is not impeachable but i do believe that the democratic report was factual and obviously the republican response was perhaps a fairy tale that people do want to read perhaps to put some went to bed

specifically you have very different responses be on the lookout for this what we have to look at is different articles that are going to come out that will be pretty straightforward there's going to be an abuse of power because as you say in the quote he took his interests above the national interest there's also going to be obstruction some is obstruction of congress not letting people cooperate. but his envoy to the world chemical weapons watchdog says a new investigation is needed into last year's alleged chemical attack in the syrian city of duma it comes after a number of o p c w employees raised concerns about the official findings there was a report was compiled following the april 28th attack which is blamed on the syrian government alleges to prostitute prompted retaliatory asteroids by britain france and the united states and a number of targets in damascus in homs a year later whistleblowers began to cost out over the findings claiming the report was heavily redacted and scientifically flawed to suit its conclusions most the do

see reports on the instant interim report and the final report was scientifically impoverished procedurally irregular and possibly fraudulent well in addition to the o.p.c. w.'s impartiality having me called into question a number of academics have claimed that the media has failed to provide balanced coverage of the syrian conflict one of them max abrams explained what he sees as the some of the shortcomings. the mainstream nehru you've got to keep to the conflict in a very simplistic way especially by making it seem like i said assad was even more extreme than he actually did capture him firstly this pro regime change crowd made it seem as if the rebels fighting assad were more moderate than they actually were the more time goes on the more evidence for merchants the more it becomes difficult to claim that you know assad is all evil and the rebels who are

all good that we still have 3 different scientists who were involved in this but who are officially part of this group did not but we've got a report which has been broadcast in the video actually reflects the songs we should hear from those scientists exactly what the scientists was all about. a college campus fire has left one person dead and 26 others injured in the ukrainian port city of adesa the fire began on wednesday morning in one of the colleges historic buildings around 400 people were believed to be inside at the time for remain unaccounted for the authorities have launched an investigation into the course of the place. and that's the way it looks from moscow for their sad we're back in around 34 minutes from now at finn's next with a wednesday edition going underground after the break.

up until recently politics were about policy preferences and ways to implement them that is not the case today your political views are now what define you as a person and there is a moral dimension bias against those who are not politically correct is the last acceptable form of discrimination this is the end of politics. all the yen the euro the dollar they all refer to each other and they're all going deeper and deeper into debt so there's no basic there or there there's no so there's no way to measure the dead against something that is could be considered money remember j.p. morgan said only gold is money everything else is credit or debt ok so without that

there is no way to measure that debt and there's no at the moment you know my my view is that this is leading to a neo feudalism poor you have just a few private equity firms owing 98 percent of all the assets and everyone else is a living as serfs on that we're getting back to the dark ages. when there was only johnson. i just got out of prison for. 41 views. 72000000 so. i got arrested who took some money to. go on like this everything was taken out of. my working moms who think. i'm going to snowman and look i'm going to be my.

mama so i want to come. we're tough. to go. on the front trying to frighten. snow around.
