5:01 pm
it's wednesday june twenty first five pm in washington d.c. natasha weeks and you're watching r.t. america well we begin this hour with a major display of discontent across the u.k. following a devastating grunfeld tower tragedy well today hundreds of protesters took to the streets blaming the government for its own response to the deadly fire one week ago today the twenty four story high rise caught fire killing dozens of people trapped inside many are still missing and for those lucky to survive now searching for new homes british prime minister trista may apologize for the tragedy and many of the government failed in its duty to help those affected the support on the ground the families in the initial hours was not good enough people were left without belongings without heads without even basic information about what had happened what they should do that was a failure of the state local and national to help people when they needed it most
5:02 pm
as prime minister i apologize for that. and as prime minister i've taken responsibility for doing what we can to put things right. the massive fire broke out last wednesday and was only put out more than twenty four hours later the death toll currently stands at at least seventy nine people theresa may and her government have been widely criticized for not doing enough huge crowds gather in central london today demanding her resignation laura smith is on the streets of london where she's been speaking with protesters we have a right in westminster ten kilometers from shepherd's bush those people are understandably quite tired but they have found the energy to keep on shouting and they are currently blocking off the main road that leads off to westminster bridge the westminster bridge off to the right as you're seeing on your screen and of course the house of parliament just behind me yeah i'd say they've reached back a destination because of course the aim the stated aim of the organizers of this

5:04 pm
death toll could be a lot more and in fact i've just been handed this piece of paper by a very quiet man who said he's not here to protest he just wants to find his friend she lived in grunfeld. it's got a face across that his name started number he said he just wants to find him or to know whether he's dead or notes of course this protest has been motivated by the fact that it's the queen's speech today the queen made opening of parliament earlier today which is approved a convenient date for these protests is to come forward they told me earlier that the opening of parliament suggested that she released in may it's business as usual but they said business as usual is scots racism and divisiveness and they don't want to carry on any more very briefly turn slightly north outside downing street a bit of a scuffle as people try to get to the gates but still a very peaceful and well policed protest but we don't know if that will continue we

5:10 pm
be looking at their afghan allies with just that little bit more suspicion. green on blue attacks when afghan forces either infiltrators or defectors purposefully fire on coalition troops it's been a taliban tactic for years this is an achievement for the mujahideen who have managed to create mistrust among the enemy forces such attacks peaked during a bomb as troops it got super bad that the rewrote the book on security. oh. no not at. first american soldiers training afghans were assigned bodyguards then all coalition troops were ordered to have their weapons looted at all times afghan recruits were made to go through an

5:13 pm
the end of the day how do you win a war when you can't even tell which of your allies is going to shoot you in the back where i guess d.f. . from kabul afghanistan meanwhile a government watchdog agency is accusing the pentagon of wasting twenty eight million dollars of taxpayers' money on what they're calling inappropriate uniforms for the afghan army the special special inspector general for afghanistan reconstruction issued a seventeen page. on tuesday detailing the so-called inappropriate force camouflage uniform despite the fact that forests make up only two point one percent of afghanistan's terrain know as national climatic data center characterizes the country as mountainous experiencing both cold and snowy winters and hot and dry summers afghanistan is described as being within the desert climate classification according to the reports
5:14 pm
a former defense minister quotes liked what he saw online the uniforms were then chosen by the afghan defense ministry and coming up on r.t.e. a russian defense minister or has his plane bugged by nato jets that report coming up the brain. dead they can. not leave the. goal after the liberation it's just all your life but over there. it's not for me it's like medicine it's like the antidote for the stress that the new zealander redacted tonight is where you can go to cry from laughing about the stuff that's going on in the world as opposed to just regular crying we're going to
5:15 pm
find out what the corporate mainstream media is not telling you about how we're going to filter it through some satirical comedic lenses to make it more digestible that's what we do every week hard hitting radical comedy news like redacted so ninety's where it's i. think a sure new to the game this is how it works now. on a me it's built around. for a show from washington to washington media. the media. voters elected to run this country business because. it's not business is business like it's never been done.
5:16 pm
a. search of defense minister has had two encounters with nato jacks in just one day offline over the neutral waters of the baltic sea the first happened while sergei shore who was flying through the russian city of collin in grad and this video was filmed from his plane by journalists but you can see a nato f. sixteen jet flying just meters from the wind to a russian aircraft in squeeze between them to ward off the fighter artie's medina has the details as you have just seen from the video
5:17 pm
a nadir sixteen fighter jet has tried to approach of the russian defense ministers plane flying above the neutral waters of the baltic sea now russian as you twenty seven which was a scoring thing in ministers' aircraft got in its way and tried to let its wings apparently showing that it is all armed right after the ads of the sixteen flew away now the minister was on route to the russian city of kaliningrad the baltic sea for a scheduled working meeting and this incident was the first. reported by touring all those who were on board of the aircraft sid and such like apparently become more frequently just this a monday a u.s. spy a plane flying toward the russian border made a provocative turn toward a baltic fleet as you twenty seven which had been scrambling for an interest option mission and encounters of such sort also took place right at the beginning of this
5:18 pm
june the russians will be back well those words came from former homeland security secretary jeh johnson today as he testified before the house intelligence committee as part of the russia probe even though evidence of the so-called russian hack have yet to be produced at one point during the hearing johnson could not assure the committee of any proof the russians hacked or altered the twenty six thousand presidential election take a listen to that exchange at the time you separated from service in january. twenty seventh c. you have seen no evidence that the russians were successful at changing. voter tallies or voter totals correct at the time you separated from service in january twentieth seventeen had you seen any evidence that donald trump or any member of his campaign colluded conspired to coordinated with the russians or anyone else to infiltrate or impact our infrastructure.
5:19 pm
not beyond. what has been out there open source and not beyond anything that i'm sure this committee has already seen and heard before directly from the intelligence community so anything i'd have on that is derivative of what the intelligence community has and the law enforcement community. johnson also told the committee that u.s. voting systems are still vulnerable to future cyber attacks and is urging for quick solutions well russia's foreign minister says he's still waiting for an explanation from washington after a syrian military jet was shot down near the city of raka sergey lavrov stressed the pentagon continues to treat various terror groups differently for. the facts we show that the u.s. is really tows it's an i suppose it's what we don't recall america bombing so actively. so whatever it's called it's constantly changing its name but it doesn't
5:20 pm
change its nature as the. and russia has a sense halted cooperation with the u.s. in syria and its pulled out of the agreement to prevent collisions in syrian air space all these events come in the backdrop of president trump promised many times during the campaign to back off the u.s. is interventionist policy artie's jacqueline takes a look at trump's promises trump made it clear that defeating terrorism and putting an end to the trend of u.s. interventions in the middle east were top priorities so he opted for granting more power to the military what i do is i authorized by military we have the greatest military in the world ok but if it helps eradicate eisel what's the problem well first we have the us training and giving arms to a bunch of anti-government forces one of them the new syrian army would really like to topple assad.
5:21 pm
the national weather service in mount holly new jersey has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for northern ocean county in southern new jersey northeastern burlington county in southern new jersey southern monmouth county in central new jersey in till six pm at five eighteen pm severe thunderstorms were located along a line extending from cream ridge to rights town moving east at forty five miles per hour. sixty miles per hour wind gusts source radar indicated impact expects damage to trees and power lines locations impacted include toms river lakewood jackson beach with my point pleasant beach seaside heights lakehurst
5:22 pm
town men looking allenwood six flags theme park georgetown castille vista center brick township pine ridge at crestwood columbus leisure village with us plainly park and leisure village for your protection move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a building repeating a severe thunderstorm warning has been issued until six pm for the following counties in new jersey burlington monmouth and ocean. the u.s. and russia is further damaging their relations well to discuss this topic i was joined earlier by daniel valid he's a professor of international human rights at the university of pittsburgh school of law and author of the plot to scapegoat russia how the cia and the deep state have conspired to vilify putin well i think you're going to see that the holes so-called russia gate scandal is going to disappear because i think there is.
5:23 pm
scant evidence as you say that anything of substance actually happened. in terms of alleged russian hacking or meddling with the election so i think what you're going to see is a move instead towards investigation into whether trump obstructed justice by trying to somehow interfere with the investigation of the russia gate scandal if you can follow me on that you know so. and we certainly we know that hillary clinton who as you know lothian lection she stated strongly that she thought restive played a part in the election and trey gowdy this morning actually had a very interesting point he said if clinton was a victim to a so called crime then why not turn over the server the d.n.c. never turned over the server to law enforcement so do you think she really sees rest of the reason as to why she lost the election or is she merely using russia as her scapegoats. well i do believe that she's using it as her scapegoat we actually know this from
5:24 pm
a book called shattered which came out by some folks written by some folks who worked on the clinton campaign in new and talked about the fact that she and her campaign concocted this whole russia gate idea after she lost the election in order to essentially you know deflect. attention from her own shortcomings as a candidate and in fact the interesting thing is right after the election right after it before she thought of this russia scheme she in a moment of candor said what really destroyed her campaign in the eleventh hour was the james komi letter three weeks before the election in which comey said he was still investigating her for her unsecured personal e-mail server if you recall that sound like two and full there i mean the whole political game but we know back
5:25 pm
in april after back taylor said the u.s. and russia all time low in the past two decades it seems as though relations between the two countries were on their way to a better place but again this so-called investigation washington has rather villainize russia even though again no evidence has been found so what's your take on the recent hostility over in syria between the u.s. and russia. well i'm very concerned as you say. it looked like there was some chance. in trump's administration for a repro show with russia something that i think is just makes common sense frankly . and now i do believe because of this rush to get the pushing of this russia gate scandal both by the democrats and by the media that it seems that the trumpet ministration now feels it's got to prove that it didn't collude with russia by now being in tag is stick towards it so now you see that the plane was shot down the
5:26 pm
syrian plane was shot down by u.s. forces over syria which really upset the russians you see today. u.s. fighter plane intercepted a plane which was flying the defense minister of russia somewhere over kaliningrad so you see the tensions are mounting and this is exactly what a lot of us fear that's why i've been speaking out against is why i wrote this book the plot to scapegoat russia because i fear that no matter what happens with the russia gate scandal again even if it disappears which i think it will this hostility that's been built up against russia will remain and i think it is pushing us closer to a confrontation that i don't think any of us want and to add to that i mean the u.s. has now brought it sanctions against russia now one hundred sixty individuals and more than four hundred companies are on it. russian foreign minister sergei lavrov reacted saying quote i can only express my regret at the probe sesson of our u.s.
5:27 pm
colleagues so what's your take do you think this is all merely political sense trump has received much backlash when he pressed relations with russia since his campaign days. i think there's two things at least two things going on one is political one is the russia gate scandal which i think is pushing the white house into feeling a need to be more confrontational with russia there may be a more nefarious explanation as well which i fear and that is that there are some. there are some people in the government in the u.s. government who have wanted. a confrontational stance towards russia one to justify our gross continued military buildup. i think there may be even some who wants a military confrontation with russia. i mean the economic system is in
5:28 pm
crisis and i fear there are some people who may think a war will get us out of it obviously i oppose such reasoning but i think you cannot count out the fact that there are people pushing in that direction and the tensions are mounting with any nato in general just have to wait and see what happens. there and professor at international human rights at the university of pittsburgh school of law thank you so much for your time thank you so much. yemen is now experiencing what the un has described as the worst cholera outbreak on the planet more than one hundred seventy thousand people have been infected in two months and at least eleven hundred have died well that adds to the already dire situation in the country caused by the saudi led war on who the rebels which is entirely manmade and also makes treating the epidemic much more difficult are. reports there is no good news coming out of yemen these days the country has
5:29 pm
plummeted by the saudi onslaught against the who with the rebels which has left at least ten thousand people killed almost seven million yemenis many of them children are on the brink of starvation not only they have no access to food but clean water as well another ten million cannot even afford to buy food thanks to air sea and land bloke aid instrumented. and now from bad to worse it's also as the outbreak of cholera described by the world health organization as unprecedented and the worst humanitarian crisis on earth numbers are also terrifying there are at least one hundred seventy two thousand infected eleven hundred forty two people dead since april and a person is dying every hour from the disease. of h w h o a spokesman said that if you look at the numbers we're talking close to two thousand suspected cases a day color isn't demick in yemen it's currently the largest color outbreak that we have in the world you can do it by saying it is difficult in a situation where
5:30 pm
a country has a health system that is collapsing there is simply no money in the budget and health facilities are not having money to run their daily operations there's also the issue of waste collection that obviously affects the quality of water and access to clean water and of quote and water is definitely the biggest stumbling block here koehler is the kind of disease which could be easily treated by replacing lost fluids straight away and it's not patients can die within hours but it's not only the infected cannot get access to clean water. part of the treatment color itself is being transmitted through contaminated water the w.h.o. said in a statement that to date it has helped to set up one hundred forty four diarrhoea treatment centers two hundred six rehydration points along with more than one thousand eight hundred beds for the color of patients but admits it's not enough and that it's sixty six million dollars short of providing adequate help to the population the u.n. officials say that if the situation remains an attended the number of infected might climb over three hundred thousand mark by the end of the summer and it's
5:31 pm
really hard to see where the help would come from since the two year long saudi led war against the kuwaitis not only destroyed much of the health care system but also made sure the w.h.o. and humanitarian workers cannot get inside the country to provide help but despite numerous vocal cries by human rights activists official u.n. bodies and a handful of pundits and commentators refuses to back down and let the rest of the world help preventing the seemingly inevitable collapse of the twenty seven million population. with warning from washington d.c. . coming up on our new footage of the shooting and killing of steel has sparked outrage to take a deeper look in our race in america segment coming up and i. think
5:32 pm
the average viewer just have to want you to. understand that we're telling stories in our critics can't you don't whine because their advertisers won't let. you know in order to create change you have to be honest you have to tell the truth are g.'s able to do that every story is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out there to the american what's happening when it's local ration makes a form. mr chills people when a company in the environmental business ends up polluting a river that causes cancer and other illnesses they put all that health risk all the dangers out to the american public those are stories that we tell every week and you know what they're working. until march and i'll give you what the mainstream media can't the big picture.
5:33 pm
tell you a little and when push to find what you're looking for this letter. will go deeper investigate and debate all so you can get the big picture. would you have for breakfast yesterday why would you put those sure. like to put your biggest fear in the right lane so let's. go to show you. the. one topic doesn't. know i've lived to do due to bush in.

5:37 pm
as in technology improves the film business yes it's a house. thank you all of those sounds like a contradiction but you have to understand though hawking as an advocate of searching for habitat on another planet he did however admit that there are some rest so the kind of space exploration that he is calling for and we don't know what or who we will find when we get there reporting in new york trinity chavez are taking. in arizona despite excessive heat this week hundreds of inmates are being housed in phoenix's infamous tent city jail the local sheriff's office released a statement yesterday saying they'll take the precautions necessary to mitigate the impact of any severe weather all this comes as temperatures in phoenix soared to one hundred ninety degrees yesterday eclipsing the previous record of one hundred sixty degrees for this date in april this year of stated he would dismantle the

5:42 pm
ridge at crestwood the storm has a history of producing wind damage for your protection move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a building repeating a severe thunderstorm warning has been issued until six fifteen pm for the following counties in new jersey to blame tick burlington camden and ocean. region this injustice is where police commit cold blooded murder one on camera and then they are quoted that they are slapped on the wrist and nothing happens to them so. that is built on on terrorizing and intimidating and controlling people of color and poor people that is that have spawned this type of policing. and not a recap of history and how the police were formed in the fact that you're saying that they're here to police the minority isn't essential
5:43 pm
a terrorize in some ways was this news of officer acquittal i shocked. no it hasn't shocked me at all i mean the police have gone on countless occasions just recently the families of slain of children and loved ones slain by the police. mit. in the midwest for the first time and they didn't even realize that there were so many of them and that they all had the same experience with moon forcemeat regardless of what state they came from and the only thing that the state will do to keep things quiet is to throw money at the families and settle the cases and give them money and hope that it will go away and everyone will get what's happening so. no i'm not surprised that this discworld happened and it will continue to happen in two communities control. the police in their communities and to there's accountability to the people in the community to
5:44 pm
police held accountable. you mention a good point when it comes to these cases we see this happen time and time again obviously the acquittal of this officer in the land ok skills case is not the first time we've seen an acquittal but usually families they will file the civil lawsuits and they'll get millions of dollars but the community and the family are saying this money it's not enough to keep us quiet or for us to forget exactly what happened to our family member now i want to talk about the jury selection which consisted of seven men and five women and only two of the jurors were black the rest of the jury members were white now do you believe this had a major impact on the outcome. oh of course a person social being determines did thinking the problem with white supremacy is that white folks are in denial that it exists the problem with white skin privilege
5:45 pm
is that white people europeans take for granted the privileges and freedoms they exercise on a daily basis that could very well take the life of a person of color. so. we need to understand the dialectics the dynamics in the history of white supremacy in america in order to correct it but we can't do that when when when when when white people the majority of white america is into nial of racism and white supremacy that they try to formulate it as if it's individual. thing as if it's a person hating another person as an individual it's not dead it's the systematic it's institutional and in many ways it's been passed on in the d.n.a. of both the oppressed than the oppressors in america and that's been proven that that trauma this passed on from one generation to the next begins to affect the the social pattern in the social behavior of the children's of that environment so we
5:46 pm
need to really understand what's happening here america has been weaned on white supremacy in white male privilege and it's hard for them to accept culpability in the murder of innocent black people or even to deal with the humanity of african people at all so so the fact that this police officer initially described. the victim as to as as a as suspicious as a person that was wanted for armed robbery because of his african features because he had a wide no. and so you know that makes that makes every african black male in america suspect if you have a wide nose that means you're under suspicion. being suspicious you know so so we need to understand what more enforcement means in this country we need to understand that we are living now in the state in the in a country to suppress war around the world that has divided the world into military

details so brigitta how many earthquakes have hit on this week. and tosh of the u.s. geological survey has tallied up over five hundred earthquakes in that area in the past week now this warm began on june twelfth and it is currently ongoing swarms are incredibly common in this area in fact they account for about fifty percent of all of the seismic activity in yellowstone and these are quakes that are ranging from four point five in magnitude to two below zero so i'm not sure whether there is much cause for concern right now i do want to mention that this is a super volcano with a thick continental crust that causes large build ups of magma and it's capable of producing a magnitude eight you rupture in on the volcanic explosive eighty index that means the explosion could be twenty five hundred times larger than the mount st helens eruption in one nine hundred eighty which is regarded as the largest and most deadly eruption in u.s. history now i spoke with somebody
