A hearing in which you can see them. 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. Are 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 twenty 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 alliance a sign le friend says its time to toss out the bloc system thats defined Swedish Politics for decades if using you see the no side has a clear majority its only natural that we will have to work across the political divide to make it possible to govern sweden so regardless of the final Election Results this will be the death of bloc politics. I 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 is its good to have you on the show so lets talk about you know the far right stars if you will of this election this week and democrats they made gains i think they gave what about four percent and 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 its still craig almost five percent up they they are almost no not
above but since Two Thousand And Ten when it first came into parliament and they doubled the vote now which is impressive images which is impressive in a way but register say exactly i mean they were hoping for more and many others not supported by the vastly 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 every no i didnt you know were guilty of that as well we had been reporting on it was it the one issue that divided people at the ballot box it was one for the was if issues integration as you say but also security is 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 are more reluctant on that but they
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 i 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 device and fifth into the country and that has a lot to do with the people that live in the country since a long time but has not really been integrated very vocal and that is a failure of the of the previous government to some extent you know they kind of have the collected 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 actually five if you dont want to govern the country but you want to change transfer you want to change to the manner of politics so what they redid now try is to to implement or let up the punters implements they are they have their policies and thats and thats a real shame and though 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 repeated in the complain again but there is not much ground for that i mean old they are the problem is rejecting that idea i mean they all say very clearly sweden profits from the us we needs the European Union and the public things to say about fifty seven
percent of some of the streets save the ones you need to stay in youve been union and only around seventeen percent want to want to leave and what about the the government to the new government of sweden that has yet to be formed i mean its going to be hard to come to grips these are these are going to be strange bedfellows right now absolutely and i mean its a really difficult situation or its a bit of a deadlock i mean all the whole of the parties they basically proclaimed they are the winners but thats basic because they havent lost that much as they were expecting to the Social Democrats and the and the moderates so deserve the democrats are still the Strongest Party but they are full of the camp that they have a majority 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 it will have to talk to each other there is a bit of thinking of all sorts block overarching coalitions but theres no really
a tradition for that and not in order to for example what we have in germany a Grand Coalition as a Green Coalition and i Something Like well were going to be in 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 because 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
honasan ethnic because it was born in china where large numbers of cars us have disappeared into camps along with members of our muslim ethnic minorities the official just a few Cation Combatting religious extremism its all brainwashing for them to accept you are chinese you have. National unity its size to make you feel you are part of the nation you dont need to keep your own ethnic identity its just really like Ethnic Cleansing practice because a or her attorneys have warned summer one of the long arm of chinese authorities but he wants his voice to be heard. Will they need to have the courage to tell the truth if we dont share our stories of Whats Going On and who will. And thats why im speaking out in court it doesnt look like. Someone honasan are marching the
city around Three Hundred kilometers from the chinese border a few former detainees have made it. We do not know exactly how many people are being detained at these Camps International organizations estimate that the number exceeds one million down no verdict and no sentences release is entirely at the whim of the camp administration. Many causes have links 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 how. Could that happen if you only destroy i dont even know if hes still alive in. The sun to my son is twelve because he asked me where his father is every day even his teacher
has started asking questions. News from across the border has become scars 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 FameBob Woodward 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 man 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 nineteenth 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 rove or 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 much particular and interesting that
you know john you know 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 him into this 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 not only with words well but the New York Times and i dont know steves it is that the president really doesnt Pay Attention very much he does have a long attention to c. N. N. This is very impulsive heavy in these are things that are beginning to pile up in the cancer thats going with his presidency is youve got some of these high level
people now cooperating with Robert Muller whos the Best Gating Collusion with the russians and also Obstruction Of Justice and thats kind of very problematic for the president because some of those people are even is all yours just as john trunk was nixons john bemis nixon. Yeah i mean thats it is an interesting point you made could be were i dont want to go with 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 Trump Presidency and you know i think it will be very important in terms of crimes like. You know people before an election keep them quiet to affect an election. One is already pled guilty to that and set the truck was involved in order that yet thats all proven Criminal Activity whether or not colin
knows about the russian collusion is a different story and as you know any davis has said one thing and have walked it back a little bit so thats less. Going to be very important to the overall structure of what was going on within trucks 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 i mean you know 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 dont need a stick around because theres no check im trying right now both houses of our Congress Republicans and theyre not doing anything about what theyre hearing about me and so there are people who say probably are very concerned if they come out and say what theyre going to say if you discard it nobody will be left in their place. The country so i think thats one of the main reasons you know awkward knows what its talking about when it comes to it and 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 the Richard Nixon and watergate and 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. Yes very much so and i think that this whole idea of being an anonymous source you know is actually an american tradition that goes all the way back to the federalist papers that i was eager hamilton and those are anonymous people say well its an american tradition to speak this way and in certain instances but theres very much
a parallel to a lot here in very much a parallel between these two men who weighed in acted both authoritarians both their impulsive nixon it behind the scenes on the tapes which ive listened to extensively does it out in the open in twitter in press conference 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 its acting the press you know also having an enemys less those are very much in the works area and here that operates in and before we run out of time do you see the trial 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 the way it works is the house sends up isnt the check. The senate has the senate is still republican and youre not going to happen each the thing that i see coming out of it is if the Special Prosecutor has evidence now i dont dance
present trump on collusion but his own Family Members especially donald jr abbe create an up worse and i know concern trumps are if you could very well resign to protect his own children all right we will be watching to see if that indeed takes place James 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. Abbi. Well the day is nearly done but as ever the conversation continues online youll find us on twitter either at u. W. News or you can write directly to me brett goff t. V.
