That are dissatisfied you dont do it its you dont have even worse problems and its. Quite a scary situation for a hearing in so you can see that. Also coming up tonight a battle motivated by pure fear americas commander in chief goes to war with americas chronicler in chief. And. The things that some of the things trump did and does jeopardize the Real National security. And we begin the day in sweden and the election that didnt go right far right as planned swedish voters elected a new National Parliament yesterday it was an election that europe watched with a mixture of anticipation and dread the anti immigration Sweden Democrats were poised for an upset victory a rebuke of the countrys generous policies towards migrants but that did not happen instead the governing social democrats remain the Biggest Party the Sweden Democrats the party with neo nazi roots not just up four percent but still failed to meet its goal of becoming the countrys second biggest Political Force however its not business as usual forming a new government will be much harder because mainstream parties all lost some support to the far right and with that sweden has become the next step in europes dangerous dance with populous. This man jimmy orcus on has given his party rooted in White Supremacy a respectable face and sweet talk to disgruntled voters away from swedens political center. Do you know what friends of sweden they said on t. V. That its hard to declare a winner of this election i know whos won the Sweden Democrats. You know a small country thats accepted nearly half a million Asylum Seekers since two thousand and twelve orcus runs messages resonated with those skeptical of immigration and the political establishment incumbent prime ministers define loaf and center Left Coalition only barely defeated the Opposition Center right elians assigning the fence says its time to toss out the bloc system thats defined swedish politics for decades if using is no site has a clear majority its only natural that we will have to work across the political divide to make it possible to govern sweden regardless of the final Election Results this will be the death of block politics. Was but his invitation to the center right to engage in cross party talks has so far fallen on deaf ears the head of the opposition is calling on to resign that leaves two sides in a virtual dead heat after the vote without a majority neither bloc says it will work with a strong third place finisher that has neo nazi roots forming a new government could take weeks or months of talks in a country where a populist wave is eroding a long held tradition of tolerance. And for more on this im joined here at the big table by to be is sold he is a researcher on right wing populism in Northern Europe at the institute for international and Security Affairs here in berlin its good to have you on the show so lets talk about you know the far right stars if you will of this election the Sweden Democrats they made gains i think they gained what about four percent but thats not the breakthrough that they had been predicting or hoping for so isnt the election result actually a failure for them well theyre different to the predations now of course i mean some say its still its still a victory it still creates the almost five percent up they they almost no not. Since two thousand and ten when it first came to palm and they double the vote now which is impressive which is vicious and drive in a way but what is to say exactly i mean theyve been hoping for more and many others not supported by theyve actually fearing or expecting even more so some polls talked about twenty percent some even up to twenty five percent but that didnt happen was immigration migration the arrival of migrants was it the divisive issue that had been predicted i mean everyone in were guilty of that as well we had been reporting on it was it the one issue that divided people at the ballot box and was one for the if issues of migration integration as you say but also security in some extent and this region democrats to link these issues very much together and it was actually them who really put my creation and integration barry high on the on the agenda the other parties were more reluctant on that but they really pushed of also to talk about it and they also pushed them into more restrictive policies since two thousand and fifteen and can we say then that maybe the success of the democrats is that they have taken the entire. Your political hell since we enforced it to move slightly to the right well it did it away and the day they really do really pushed the other parties to rethink their moderate and liberal migration policies and really showed well the count of release that become take all these people anymore a welfare state otherwise might collapse and the other partys fault that the only way of getting rotors back again from them is to also kind of use similar four x. And what about just using the facts i mean if you look at swedens fabulous demographics it took in more in the last three years its taken in more migrants per capita than any e. U. Country until two thousand and fifteen exactly and yet when we look at you know crime that is associated with the arrival of migrants those types of metrics you havent seen a worsening of the situation so why dont we see the mainstream parties you know hammering that issue and saying the migrants have have theyre not a threat to us that indeed this strange thing and i mean it has really been an old problem and the current crime as we see it doesnt have to do much to save those migrants who arrived in devising a fifth into the country and that has a lot to do with people that live in the country since long time but have not really been integrated very well and that is a failure of the of the previous government to some extent you know they kind of have neglected the chelan sharia bridge which is involved ben but people are rife from different cultures arrive in the country and what happens now moving forward when weve got the democrats there not as strong as they wanted to be but theyre going to be more vocal they promise to do that so what happens then to politics in sweden moving vote well im interested in democrats that will try to continue about. Before really trying to push the politics i mean they said after the fact that if you dont want to govern the country but you want to change to transfer you want to change to the manner of politics so what they read now try is to to implement or let other pundits implements their their their policies and thats and thats a real shame and no it depends a lot how the other parties reacts to thats what about their call to take sweden out of the European Union i mean that sort of theyd like to do yeah thats a very interesting thing i mean they have said that before and they repeat it in the complain again but there is not much ground for that i mean old the other parties are rejecting that idea i mean they all say very clearly sweden profits from the u. S. Weve needs the European Union and the public things to say about fifty seven percent of the streets they want to need to stay and you can union and only around seventeen percent of them to want to leave and what about the the government to the new government of sweden that has yet to be formed meaning its going to be hard to come to grips these are these are going to be strange bedfellows right you know absolutely and i mean its a really difficult situation or its a bit of a deadlock i mean all the whole of the problem is they basically proclaimed they are the winners but thats basic because they havent lost that much as they were expected to do the social democrats and the and the moderates so the social democrats are still the Strongest Party but they are full of the camp that though does have a much already but the but but but the conservative camp doesnt have died or so its really difficult to predict what is up thats going to happen now that they will have to talk to each other there is a bit of thinking of. Overarching coalitions but theres no really a tradition for that then not at all interested for example what we have in germany a grand coalition as a right as a Green Coalition or Something Like that well going to be a New Territory for sure absolutely to be as its old a researcher on right wing populism in Northern Europe the institute for international and Security Affairs here in berlin means we appreciate you coming on the show and sharing your insights thank you. The United Nations human rights chief is calling on china to allow in monitors after allegations of large scale arbitrary detention of muslim minorities now michel but shalit calls the allegations quote deeply disturbing they appear in a report that was published today by Human Rights Watch it says more than a million muslims have been detained in a socalled reeducation camps in chinas northwestern shin jiang region and details of the internment system are emerging slowly because the Chinese Government tightly controls access to the region but correspondent mathias berlingo traveled to neighboring cuz extend to speak with witnesses. Han is a former inmate of a chinese reeducation camp he got out of the internment facility in march and is now in kazakhstan it is an important day for him hes meeting a team from Amnesty International to speak out about his experiences. We had to sing for hours. Songs like without the communist party there would be no new china. Most of them were songs praising mao tse tung. And were forced to repeat slogans about the greatness of president xi jinping and what a great place china is to live in. To give us what some are han is an ethnic cousin who was born in china where large numbers of cars us have disappeared into camps along with we go and members of our muslim ethnic minorities the official just a few cation combating religious extremism its all brainwashing for them to accept that you are chinese so you have that National Unity is size to make you feel you are part of the nation you dont need to keep your own ethnic identity is just really like ethnic cleansing practice because a whore for a ts have worn some or han of the long arm of chinese authorities but he wants this boys to be heard. Will they need to have the courage to tell the truth if we dont share our stories of whats going on then who will thats why im speaking out for the dishonest by. Someone hundreds in march in the city around three hundred kilometers from the chinese border if you from a detainees have made it. We do not know exactly how many people are being detained at these Camps International organizations estimate that the number you. Seize one million there are no verdicts and no sentences release is entirely at the whim of the camp administration. Many causes a means to china and many have relatives in the camps just saying the wrong word can lead to detention. For many inmates the only hooper release comes from amnestys efforts on their behalf. This man was arrested on a business trip. To have enough people. I dont even know if hes still alive in. The sun to my son is twelve because he asks me where his father is every day even his teacher has started asking questions. That. News from across the border has become scarves for muslims in china any contact with their relatives is simply too dangerous. In the United States much of the country is consumed with fear im referring of course to the latest tell all book about the Trump Presidency entitled fear it goes on sale tomorrow the author is the two time pulitzer winner and journalist of watergate fame bob woodward and woodward has written some four hundred pages of what has to be some of the most scathing and brutally honest account ever compiled on a sitting u. S. President President Trump has already slammed fear as well as mr woodward earlier today the u. S. President was apparently a nerd by an interview on the today show with woodward trump tweeted bob woodward is a liar who is like a democratic operative prior to the midterm elections he was caught cold even by n. B. C. Woodward is defending his book saying that all Anonymous Sources quoted are from interviews conducted not on the record but instead on deep background which is a standard and perfectly Legal Practice in journalism woodward has also been very open about his reaction to the accounts shared with him by top level trump insiders i want you to take a listen as he describes the danger of trumps lack of knowledge concerning matters of u. S. National security well ive never seen instance when the president is so detached from the reality of whats going on in one n. S. C. Meeting a year after trump was in office the secretary of defense has to tell him because the president s complaining about all this money were spending and u. S. Forces abroad james mattis says to him were doing this to prevent World War Three now the idea that his secretary of defense has to tell the president that all of these actions are designed to prevent the ultimate catastrophe and then made its goes on and says you know if we dont keep these programs which are very sensitive. The only deterrent option we have will be the new killer option you know the Nuclear Option oh my next guess is a us president ial historian and author he has written numerous books including january one thousand seventy three watergate roe versus wade vietnam and the month that changed America Forever he and john dean Richard Nixons former white House Counsel travel across the u. S. Speaking about the watergate scandal they have also led a seminar for lawyers focusing on comparisons between Richard Nixon and donald trump. Well im happy to welcome tonight to the day mr james who joins us tonight from Cleveland Ohio mr robey not welcome to the day i want to ask you you know youve been hearing what Bob Woodwards been saying just like we have i mean considering what mr woodward has written regarding trumps lack of knowledge about policies in the wall would you recommend that mr trump even attend the simmon are that youre giving which compares him to Richard Nixon. I think you would do well i know with. John b. Hes a very honest guy youre here really is very methodical and interesting enough john and i started doing our program in two thousand and eleven will trump was on the scene in nixons impulsive nature and some of the things that got images very troubled. Right now so yeah he would do well to come listen joycean are in some of the papers. You write that there is a cancer growing on the Trump Presidency i mean what is the cancer. Well you know the thing is that right now were hearing is breathtaking from people inside and i dont have words but the New York Times and i dont misuse it is that the president really doesnt Pay Attention very much he does have a long attention and c. N. N. Is very impulsive heavy in these are things that are beginning to pile up in a cancer thats going with his presidency is you guys so nervous i dont people now are cooperating with Robert Mueller whos the best gating collusion with the russians and also obstruction of justice and thats kind of. Problematic for the president because some of those people are even is all yours just as john trunk was nixon john bemis nixon. Yeah i mean thats it its an interesting point you make could be were i dont want to go into too much detail here with this but do you think that the president s former personal Attorney Michael Cohen and his lawyer lanny davis do you think they will prove key to finding the truth about the truck presidency and you know i think they will be very important in terms of crimes like. You know people before an election keep them quiet to affect an election Michael Cohen has already pled guilty to that and set the truck was involved in order. Yet thats all proven criminal activity whether or not one knows about the russian collusion is a different story and as you know many davis has said one thing and have walked it back a little bit so that. Theyre going to be very important to the overall structure of what was going on with the drunks you know. I want you to take a listen to what woodward said when asked about the president s accusation that woodwards quotes from top officials are simply fabrications take a listen they are not telling the truth. But look whats going on here and. My old boss at the Washington Post ben bradlee the great editor used to say the truth emerges sometimes it takes time these people these are political statements to protect their jobs totally understandable but this is this carefully done as you can do an excavation of the reality of what goes on in capable and miserable let me ask you is it understandable that these top officials talk to woodward and then deny what they said i mean if they truly believe that the president is so incompetent and dangerous why in the world do you think they stick around. I do stick around because there is no check on trump right now both houses of our Congress Republicans are not doing anything about what theyre hearing about. And so there are people who say probably are very concerned that if they come out and say what theyre going to say theyll be discarded and nobody will be left in their place in. The country so i think thats one of many reasons you know hopwood knows what its talking about when it comes to that i believe he back in watergate days had a source that he known as deep throat turns out that i was the number two guy at the cia i marked out and he clearly did i for thirty years that he was deep throat until he finally admitted that in fact he was so so its not its not surprising that they were denied and you know let me get your expertise here since you do comparisons between Richard Nixon and watergate and donald trump and his presidency the the anonymous author of the letter that was published last week in the New York Times do you see a parallel there with the deep throat character from the watergate scandal. Yeah very much so and i think that this whole idea of being an anonymous source yes actually an american tradition goes all the way back to the federalist papers without using it or hamilton and those are anonymous people say well its an american tradition to see this way in certain instances but theres very much a parallel to a lot here in very much a parallel between these two men who great actor both were champions both their impulsive nixon it behind the scenes under tapes which i listened to extensively does it out in the open in twitter in press conference i mean when youre holding the seminar then for lawyers in the u. S. When youre talking about the of the comparisons here you know what do you tell them are lets say you know the two strongest similarities between nixon and drop. Yeah i think that the strongest similarity is the impulsiveness nixon present bill invaded cambodia actor in vietnam war over over a one day decision that he made he didnt consult anybody very impulsive it true the country upside down with kent state shootings student said university here in the United States so that impulsive activity is one of the things that we show through the case but we also show nixon saying repeatedly the press is the enemy crosses the end of its act in the press you know also harry and enemies list those are very much in the works area and here that operates in and before we run out of time do you see the Trump Presidency headed towards some type of ending similar to what Richard Nixon experience and you know we have the midterms coming up and if the democrats if they do succeed in taking the house do you think that impeachment is inevitable. And i. Will be calling that we work says the house sends up isnt the chick. In the senate has to the senate is still republican and youre not going to happen each the thing that i see coming out of it is the special prosecutor has evidence now i dont dance present trial on collusion but his own family members especially donald jr and me create an up worse and i know concern trumps are if you could very well resign to protect his own show. All right we will be watching to see if that indeed takes place james at robonaut historian and author check out his latest book by the way ballots and bullets thats a good read as well mr romanov we appreciate you joining us tonight on the day thank you.
