he said he'd killed over 30 people across scandinavia, including israeli special forces soldiers. it was completely impossible. >> not so incredible for the police, psychiatrists and judges, however. his confessions saw him given a life sentence for 15 counts of murder. a number of his statements conflicted with the crime scene evidence, but the serial killer's story was a welcome one for the authorities, with countless murders unsolved. jenny kuttim and two fellow-journalists were skeptical of the confessions, and conducted extensive research on the case files. eventually they were able to prove that quick could not have committed the murders, and that the prosecutors never tried to verify the statements of the psychiatric patient. they uncovered the largest miscarriage of justice in swedish history. >> we met him three times, and are still in contact with him. he told us the truth. when he took back all his confessions during our third meeting, he said, "i've given up." >> the authorities scrambled to process the revelations. quick, having since reverted to his birth name sture

special correspondent malcolm brabant reports on the north- south divide in scandinavia.ns in southern sweden. >> reporter: journey's end. syrians khaled al habash, in the blue shirt, and nouri shkais are relishing their new sanctuary. but habash is missing his children. he didn't dare entrust them to the mediterranean. he hopes sweden will reunite them safely. the reception center in a country that regards itself as the world's conscience. habash can't comprehend how some europeans are hostile towards refugees. >> we are not coming here for tourism. we are coming from war. and i think who do like that are hostile to refugees. they must go to syria and see what happens in syria. my children now, under the bombs. they don't have water for one >> reporter: nouri shkais fled latakia, the hometown of syria's president bashar al assad to avoid being conscripted into the army. the destination was an easy choice. >> in sweden, you can get a residence permit for a long time. and you can get citizenship after four years. not like danish. >> reporter: it wasn't just war that compel

in some societies, let's say scandinavia, you have a social contract with the people as a whole. if something adverse happens to you, it is the public responsibility to care for you. but attributing blame is secondary. you want to create a culpability outside the criminal system. in the u.s., we do not have a social system. in that sense, tort is a vehicle for people compensating themselves for injury as well as attributing blame. you do not have to have a blame theory. if you put a dangerous commodity, you know it is going to injure somebody, you have to build that into the price. those kinds of things, trying to take away this question of finding blame in each case. you want to reserve blame for cases in which there has been bad conduct. if you are building in an inefficient mechanism, there are two problems. that will come back in the price and it is random. if you think of people similarly injured, somebody thinks about going to a lawyer. a lot of people fear the courts. they do not want to waste their time. a tort system is random. the greatest advantage of the jury system,

in scandinavia. as for dr petersen.y first got the idea. >> the doctors are about 10 times lower. >> what do they ask you about the american health care system. the main question is why is the u.s. not doing more of this. >> we took the question to the point person for hospital acquired mrsa. >> some scandinavian countries have universal screen, seeing mrsa decrease hundreds of times. why not do it in the u.s.? >> there are a number of studies, and scientifically, the strongest methodology has not shown a benefit when we look at the experience of other countries. are they not doing various levels of screen, showing good results. they are seeing big drops in mercer. >> they are seeing big drops, and take a number of different approaches. it's difficult to detect what particular contribution to that reduction the active screening is making. there's a mare amount of scientific controversy over how well universal screening works. >> it's as simple as doing a test. i don't understand what of the people? >> we live in a world

from there they want to push onto germany and scandinavia. they are still coming, thousands a day into hungary. germany has received 100,000 just last month according to the german government. european officials are struggling to come up with a solution. generally they think the idea is to distribute the migrants, to come up with a quota system where each nation will accept a number of migrants and refugees. the vatican today said that it would take in two refugee families into the vatican city. the pope encouraged every christian parish in europe to accept one family as a sign of good faith. but just emptying out the war's war zones and redistributing them around europe doesn't seem to be a long-term solution. the entire middle east is in a state of collapse. people there believe there is no hope for the future, particularly in syria. this is not just a migration crisis. this is a policy crisis. there needs to be many european officials believe a much more comprehensive solution, not to just integrate and receive people, but to try and solve

the next three years, one of china's richest men plans to put in additional bids for land across scandinavia in denmark and sweden. the company did not respond to inquiries about his interest in the area. norwegians say he has sparked alarm over chinese-arctic am bigses. melting ice is unlocking shipping routes and billions in oil and gas. many see the real estate interests as a back door for china to get into the high north. >> any kind of discussion about a potential way of getting your foot into the arctic is interesting for a lot of states. we see that here, especially. and especially in this discussion >>> reflecting local sentiment, a prominent norwegian newspaper published a column calling wong is straw man for the communist party. >> this is not the only place that is attracting interest. as tensions ramp up between russia and the west, an old soviet outpost is drawing moscow's attention. find out why, we jumped in a boat and headed there by way of the baron sea. there's no roads that connect the settlements. here in this russian coal settlement, the hallmarks of a bygone soviet era

the low will move towards the north and east and so all that moisture will be moving towards the scandinavia peninsula and so we'll see the chance for heavy rainfall as we progress through the week. as we go through monday we're looking at mainly rain for paris and also into rome. thunderstorms expected. drier and sunnier conditions for place like warsaw, vienna and also into athens. now wrapping things up with a look at north america, high pressure is the dominant force for the eastern side of the united states. that's going to bring sunny conditions and warm conditions. meanwhile further back towards the south and west we do have moisture that's going to be in play. that's going to bring the possibility of precipitation into an area that need some rain. los angeles you'll see a chance for rain on monday. high of 27 degrees. also looking at rain for vancouver and seattle. drier conditions for most of the united states and also into the southern portion of canada. toronto at 24. and mid-20s from new york all the way down into atlanta for monday. hope you have a good day wherever you are. her

by taking that route to reach their destination, which is, if you ask them, mainly germany and scandinavia. of course the concern is that they will end up in hungary, which they try to avoid by taking the route into croatia. the news has spread rapidly. a lot of refugees have mobile phones which they not only to navigate -- in other words, to find ways along the green border into croatia, but also to gather news, and the news that the hungarian army may be shooting with rubber bullets on refugees, which are mainly families here, our shock to many. if you ask not only the aid workers here for the refugees, there is a lot of frustration on how things are moving forward. in many ways, the current system is not working at all. croatia is not registering people, they are just sending them on. the whole system is out of step. sarah: thank you. with so many of these asylum-seekers trying to get a germany, local leaders there have been crumbling about the challenges of providing for them. with even members of chancellor merkel's on party criticizing her. they say they are paying for her recent fli

your ideal sense of power as the big supporter of the revolution and i slammed but it is also in scandinavia and social welfare state is as something you would support? >> there is a lot there but i am trusting you can whip through that. >> of course, you cannot teleport icelandic societies 320,000 you cannot transport that to a country with a population 100 times the size. the you can certainly grabbed some ideas. >> talk about taking action a lot of the work is on the financial industry and with journalism more broadly and to interact with us directly the majority here something very interesting. and then to come from india it is people searching people who are reaching beijing for many foreign service departments outside the united states what people inside the united states has bought one ambassador or another. we take the view that the stories are advertising which is a historical archive though library of how it works. >> but in all the cables you have read some of it the most important one, generally answer the most surprising thing is not a cable but what this book is about. it is th

scandinavia -- >> again, here we go. >> here we go, all right. >> stephen: denmark? >> denmark. in denmark, everybody has health care as a right, and their system is high quality and more cost effective than our system. in denmark, at a time in america where people can't afford to send their kids to college, people go and get a higher they have a very strong child care system for the middle class, wages are higher. so what you have is a society where government, as i believe it should in this country, radical idea, though it may be, should actually represent working people and the middle class rather than large campaign donors. ( cheers and applause ) >> stephen: well, if you can stick around, if you can stick around for one second, we've got to get some messages right now from giant corporations to pay our bills. and we'll come back and find out why they're the bad guys from bernie sanders. we'll be right back with more from senator bernie sanders. go buy these products!

look at: when you history over the last couple of years, scandinavia and australia facing housing bubblesnew zealand got out front of it. when you think about the use of that, is that working? does that given the capacity to cut rates much lower? iain: not really. house prices are still going up. they get are up 20% on a year just staggering. they have strengthened that even further. out ony really is still whether that is working, or not. jonathan: to australia, a different picture for the aussies. the unemployment rate dropped back slightly. have we seen the week in the -- peak in the number of jobless going forward? iain: there was some discussion that may be the jobless rate would go higher because of government changes. that did not happen. economist are saying maybe now we have seen the peak in the jobless rate. it will now hover around 6%, we have pretty healthy employment gains over the last month. more than three times what economists were expecting. part of the reason is because wage growth is so weak. that is helping employers keep staff. jonathan: thank you very much for joini

most are headed to germany and scandinavia.ck to you. >> outside right now it's a quiet start to your morning. air quality is code yellow. first thing, you want to reduce some of your outdoor activities as possible. later on with the snag nant air in place, we could be in a code original. right now, 59 in gaithersburg. 62 in rockville. there's your sky facast 4. 77 or your way out to dinner and a movie tonight. ten minutes from now amelia seagal will be talking about your school day forecast. >> it has to be good and then it had better be nice after. at the turnpike it's blocked. we have a little bit of a closure at this point because of the situation. in front of sibley hospital, loughboro and dal carl ya closed. rb to listen to our friends on wtop 103.5 f.m. when you hop into your car. >>> now to a developing story. a lack of action on capitol hill is preparing them for another possible shutdown. if a deal isn't met by the end of this month, many of you may be affected. nbc's tracie potts. good morning. >> hey, good morning.

modern world works including what you think is the modern pristine roles of social democracies in scandinavia. it's not there. it's just more sophisticated allusion. >> at all about inches one cable gives you a sense of the wealth of information that is housed on wikileaks site. i want to thank julian assange, the middle of the night there for joining us. i think everyone who was happy to see you. [applause] >> thanks. >> and if the julian paved the way like the "wizard of oz" on the screen, let's remember as we leave that chelsea manning is behind bars, edward snowden is in exile, julian is in this embassy and other whistleblowers have had their lives ruined, have been targeted after under tremendous russia right now. all of you have one of these books. make sure you tell your friends about it, talk about it on social media. buy another copy and give it to someone. and most of all be out there in public whenever the crosshairs are aimed at any whistleblowers or any journalists. thank you, guys. thank you, bauhaus. thank you.

many of their best and brightest left these countries for better jobs in uk and scandinavia and germanythey're entitled to do under the eu. they feel threatened by that. unlike germany where they don't have a 40-year history of assimilating muslim fellow citizens or fellow residents, people on their workforce, these are things that will take time. they're extremely confident that all the countries will adapt but it's a big change for europe and has to be looked at that way. >> there's a huge change. it's unprecedented. the eu is so divided on how to handle this practice. an e.u. quota plan to share the burden. if they are f they aren't willing to budge, what needs to happen? >> that's a good question. i was in latvia last weekend. it's one of the smallest of the. they've been asked to take 500 or 700 asylum seekers or whatever they turn out to be. they consider this an outrage, it's something being forced upon them. would a country that small depend on charity really save -- forgo all the benefits of the eu over the issue of 500 to 700 migrants? i don't think so. i think we should expec

and many people that germany and scandinavia are the only places to start new lives. >> richard engelyou very much. >>> to discuss the response from this crisis, i'm joined by the president and ceo of the international rescue charity david miliband. welcome to "meet the press." let me ask you a basic question in today's new york times, it is simply who failed the 3-year-old child that was found dead on the shores there? who failed him? >> i think there have been three levels of failure. obviously, he was barrel-bombed out of his own city. first of all, damascus and then kobani, so this starts with president to assad. secondly, there's a chronic failure of the international powers including the u.s., but strategically like russia, saudi arabia and iran to come to grips with the nature of the syrian civil war so that it is not just a syria civil war but it engulfs parts of iran as well. and over the last few years and significantly over the last few months this has led to the appalling scenes you have seen on tv screens and newspapers arounded the world. >> we have short-term issues, we

but you're not going to allow us to continue with our journey going north and west to germany and scandinaviaich is where they really want to go, then they say another solution must be found, that they cannot simply be left in the dirt out in the elements forever. some european officials are proposing what they are considering a solution, a quota system with the uk taking in 20,000 over the next several years, france 24,000, and germany 40,000. but that is really just a drop in the bucket, because germany says it will take in those 40,000 but at the same time says it expects 800,000 to arrive in germany just this year. so what happens to the hundreds of thousands of people in germany that germany says it won't process, will they be forcibly rounded up, will they be forted? where will they be forted to? will they be sent back to their home countries? all of these are unanswered questions. the hungarian government says its solution is to finish building a border fence. the border fence is supposed to be 12 feet high, 100 miles long and the hungarian prime minister was down in this area recently

frankly in terms of legislatures only scandinavia countries on average have more women in the legislatures among democracies, stable democracies, the philippines is the only country within east asia, southeast asia that has a similar percentage of women in the legislature as compared to taiwan. another area that i like to go is to compare the 2016 election here with some initially superficial similarities to the 2000 election. some much these are obvious so bear with me. three candidates including james so pushing the election towards dpt. the knt didn't run their strongest candidate. arguably to avoid the is sacrificial lamb. here's where the comparison with 2000 should end. the pan blue split handed the election to the dpt whereas the election in 2016. less of a focus on cross strait relations since 2000 if anything it's an indebt influence in the 2016 election. i don't expect recent attention to the '92 consensus to change that election focus in the long term. another point that i think has been largely overlooked is james sung's motivations are different between 2000 and 2016. i would

how the modern world works, and with social democracy in scandinavia. it is not there, just more sophisticated illusion. >> all that in one cable gives you a sense of the wealth of information house on wiki leaks's sight. i want to thank julian assange, it is the middle of the night there, for joining us. everyone was really happy to see you. [applause] >> as julien fade away like the wizard of oz on that screen, remembered chelsea manning is behind bars, ed snowden is in exile, julian is in the embassy and other whistle-blowers had their lives ruined, have been targeted and are under tremendous pressure. all of you should have one of these books, tell your friends about it, talk about it on social media, by another copy and give it to someone and most of all be out there in public whenever the cross hairs are aimed at any whistleblowers or journalist. thank you.

what you see is what happened in scandinavia in particular where french neo-nationalist parties emergents the strongest partners. there is a real split. the countries are not interest did the delusions of angela merkel. ashley: hungary has come under a lot of criticism for how they've handled it. they say look, we are trying to protect europe's christian culture. stuart: when if you heard that expression? ashley: their foreign minister said it. >> would never do in the constitution a decade ago and said we want something in the preamble about christian heritage, it is preposterous. at the hungarians feel in hungarian history they still remember that. stuart: we are glad you are on. save for the hour. general motors settled the lawsuit. the full story in case you missed it. >> general motors to pay a $9 million fine, all part of a criminal investigation into it delayed recall of defective ignition switches and more than 2.5 million cars and those led to more than 120 deaths. there is a news conference in two hours. gm shares are up 1%. as long as donald trump stays in the spotlight, any i

the worst off workers in france and in germany and austria and scandinavia definitely have a better relative's edition than the worst off workers in the united states and part of the reason is the collective action through their unions and the political system to improve the circumstances of the least well off workers. they have a different system of collective bargaining than the united states has. they do not have worked with democracy. they have organization at a higher level in the labor market. the united states is unique focusing so much on individual work places as the place where representation incurs. guest: i would encourage people to work hard. thing toat is a good do because of course collective action does not always work. sometimes fails. wins,mes, the other party and the party that does not want unions to have collective bargaining power, the party that is opposed to minimum wages, some part -- sometimes that party wins and that is bad for workers. by all means, do the best you can for yourself. but remember collective action is a successful route to improve the circumstances of
