agency the hackers planted a false news report friendly to you iran and critical of president donald trump that is now being used by saudi arabia and other u.s. allies to as a reason to carry out an economic and political black blockade of qana but sadly if c.n.n. had expressed just an ounce of journalistic restraint instead of once again falling for the old unnamed u.s. intelligence sources blame all things on russia you know that line they might have avoided that awkward feeling of perpetrating bake news after it was revealed that this week by qatar's attorney general in actuality evidence shows cyber attack on state run news agency is linked to states that cut ties with qatar. or wolf blitzer egg it's so hard to wash out of that beard it's all up on the face that way and speaking of ag on your face it appears that every war hawk intelligence harken cable news desk jockey who bashed chelsea manning by trotting out the military
9:30 pm
industrial complex approved line that her leaks put us in for some foreign policy at risks and both at risk in both iraq and afghanistan well they were either wrong or flat out lying to us obtained by buzz feed a one secret june two thousand and eleven defense department report concludes that the disclosures were largely in significant and did not cause any real harm to u.s. interests. so it looks like fact once again beats fiction especially when you're watching the hawks. forty. three it looks like. it's really. difficult to see. what it's like you know i got. three.
9:31 pm
world the world watching. the ball as. well. to go around this it appears all across the board mainstream media as you know when you go to war or explode start with qatar a big big story out of qatar you know every ball we heard was russia and they hacked qatar planted fake news and that is the reason one of the main reasons that saudi arabia and all these others like suddenly blockaded apparently all b.s. at the end of the day the saddest thing i would say the saddest part across the board is the subject you don't really see c.n.n. and others are attracting the story they're just trying to base it on the rug and not publicize the fact that ok we were we misspoke which is the noble thing to do say ok we were misinformed it happens on your face but if you just want to say like
9:32 pm
oh let's just go past this and you know still make people believe russia is responsible for hacking well that's the problem we have bigger things to talk about like the fact that apparently just today jake tapper clear research claims it all figured out that there was a war in the u.s. weapons given to saudi arabia was being used the u.s. was going to shock and open in yemen they're in we had them they were the murder using them to murder of people i'm not sure how that's like and that's not conjecture that's not propaganda that's fact u.s. weapons have been used to kill people in the very near maybe next i mean the whole point is that you're talking about saudi arabia's war against yemen obviously the show we talked about the fact there's a you know allegedly it's a play it was a proxy war between saudi arabia iran frankly it's more of a power grab by saudi arabia than anything showing its muscle and here we are now with qatar is now in the sights of saudi arabia and its allies within the u.a.e. bahrain and egypt because why is qatar as close to iran so. we see an escalation in
9:33 pm
qatar as we saw in yemen. both those is does stories like this this kind of rush to you know secret source in the u.s. government told us x. rule rush just put it out does being the mouthpiece for u.s. intelligence and u.s. government you know anonymous sources that c.n.n. is kind of taken the mantle of over the last few months or years maybe. does that affect cnn's credibility than when this things like this happen but then you know nothing about as we keep pushing this narrative every time that you should never question the official story that why would you question the official story and one of them is that they have reported that the f.b.i. quote the f.b.i. recently sent a team of investigators to doha to help the qatari government investigate the alleged hacking incident intelligence gathered by u.s. security agents indicates that russian hackers were behind the intrusion first reported by the qatari government now as you said there is a completely different story now telling telling you know the media the attorney general saying we have evidence to show that i phones originating from the country
9:34 pm
is laying siege to us have been used in this hacking so here is the problem you jumped up and took a source that you had no backing for that information and now it's shown to be wrong so are you going to trust that source do you question that source and where's the story going hey we were wrong just like they were wrong about you know crowd strike in the ukraine hacking and this no i mean isn't this let's look at trust let's jump ahead to chelsea manning you had every like is that every war hawk every you know kind of apologist for the you know intelligence state in the military state here in the u.s. all saying her leaks did damage you know our credibility our foreign policy put lives in danger does this report the buzz feed jason leopold of now gone through foyer that says that she didn't does that vindicate her actions well it's frankly the fact that she was ultimately released from prison early already in a sense gives credence to what she did and the fact is this report does vindicate her actions because it says that. about. seven thousand secret files that she
9:35 pm
leaked to wiki leaks they had no shortage of significance on the u.s. war efforts and twenty federal agencies all agree on this so you know those pretty desperate but. all eyes last night were on three suburban counties in georgia where according to mainstream media at least voters had a chance to redo the twenty sixteen election stop from care and score a big win in the twenty eight hundred midterms a year ahead of schedule but sixty million dollars and two hundred sixty thousand votes later the brand in chief is still president and the republicans got a confidence push as well as a collective sigh of relief so what went wrong well for one thing voters in georgia looking at the headlines of the past few months wouldn't be seen much about health care or jobs or really anything other than the symbolic significance of the election by all accounts on the ground this media blitz did not help voters can only process so many t.v. ads and so many unwanted phone calls before tuning it all out not only that but
9:36 pm
republican super pacs made a strong support from celebrities running millions of dollars of ads attacking the centrist democrat as beholden to hollywood and not one of us so a star studded entourage unseen amounts of campaign money a mainstream media echo chamber and the result that leaves voters disenchanted and exhausted is this the new normal for democratic campaigns as a strong question and you know what's interesting about that is it is the entire election in georgia to me with in all that it just reeked that we didn't learn anything from the hillary clinton debacle that we didn't like you know the more money you spent in the more celebrity guests you tried out and all of that and the more you know robo calls over there at the end of the day like like you're saying terrible it was all about you know what the boatmen rather than the issues that affected the people there right that's what it's about from this is what outsiders looking in that sort of look like a demagogue. for the most pressure you're talking about the south i mean people are
9:37 pm
proud obviously within you know within their state and they don't like being told by people from hollywood that a you need to vote this way because it's a protest against the president it's a protest against well they're seeing all this money coming in from california from people who don't live in georgia to tell them well we want to shoot movies in atlanta but otherwise we don't live there so we're who are you to tell us how to vote that money i think is interesting because between both campaigns and super pac spending is both sides are not dissolve the republicans to floating money and everything without money out of the final price tag of this race lends somewhere between a row sixty million dollars that's a monstrous number. two hundred thirty dollars per boat wow her bow was this raised by both sides you talk about waste of money imagine what sixty million could have done for georgia so if you're going to be the number one thing that could win you only with the money and there was the numbers political it out it
9:38 pm
back at the end of march means people are saying all of this money is coming from california and they'll let you look at the numbers in total amounts no it was you know. people from georgia technically gave slightly more at least at the end of march than george out fifteen hundred seventy people donated small amounts but to dollars to get six hundred thousand kept people from california the donate is also campaign five thousand eight hundred twenty two people and their political accurately estimated that almost twenty five over twenty five hundred are from the bay area alone when you live in a state like georgia and you have you know people tweeting about how they're giving money and people from san francisco and that. what does a person in san francisco understand about what's going on in the state it's a lot of the national you know there's a it's simply a protest vote against trump right and it just won't work in most states maybe in a couple states that might work but the fact is that you say sixty million dollars to house this congress yes. it was two years. that i realized how scary it is for
9:39 pm
two years of office to spend sixty million dollars it's amazing and the war and that's where the problem with the house represent every two years they go to run again and that means they're going to spend most of their time campaigning and then you've got to raise probably equal to that again just to get a real look at right now is the most expensive race i want to get on the celebrity thing i want you guys both having been sort of so we're looking at this thing with celebs and they said you know we're looking at sarah silverman called on the american military to overthrow the president joker not have rosie o'donnell as others have attacked the president's son saying he was at one point a future serial killer and an animal mutilator. and stephen colbert kind of got a free pass on a pretty homophobic remark it's just i don't care if you think about that and that don't make gay jokes it's not funny period i don't really care resist like that that's one thing but do you think the sort of no holds barred resistance by what are looked at by most the country is these are west coast. relieved do you think
9:40 pm
that i know it had an effect on us on some from people i've talked to do you think it has this effect of them hurting people who are going out of celebrities who are actually doing the work and not oh i think i think very quickly i'll just say this i think i think every celebrity has a right to voice their opinion that by politics i don't think anyone should ever observe their citizen of the end of the day i would say that if they want to use their celebrity to make light of something or do. something that's wonderful i don't i don't totally agree that however campaigns were lying on celebrity endorsements that's an entirely different thing because i think yes to a certain point it feels like oh pepsi is just sold me a product rather. you know someone who's going to look after me that's why i think t.v. perry is taking advantage of the situation with a political pop album and yeah exactly all right as we go to break watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered over facebook and twitter see our poll shows that are dot com coming up sean stowe interviewed the number maybe. speaker of the national somebody to help shine
9:41 pm
a light on one of history's largely forgotten genocides you definitely want to check this out to watch a little. bit . in case you're new to the game this is how it works the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington washington media. the media over voters elected the businessman to run this country business equals power who must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. i'm john harshman i'll give you what the mainstream media can't tell the big picture we'll go deeper investigate and debate all so you can get the big picture.
9:42 pm
you're watching and our team america got special reports when they allowed him this bugs you insult me as one of the fun basically everything that you think you know about civil society have broken down. there's always going to be somebody else one step ahead of the game. we should not be dismissed of the normalising violence. we don't need people that think like this on our planet. this is an incredibly tense situation. the mission of newsworthy it is to go to the people tell their side of the story our stories are well sourced we don't hide anything from the public and i don't think the mainstream media in this country can say that i think an average viewer knows that r.t. america has a different perspective so that we're not hearing one echo chamber that mainstream
9:43 pm
media is constantly spewing. we're not beholden to any corporate sponsor no one tells us what to cover how long the coverage or how to say it that's the beauty of our t.v. america. we give both sides we hear from both sides and we question more that journalists are not getting anything get in your way to bring it home to the american people. i think the average viewer just after watching a couple of segments on. stands there were telling stories there are critics can't tell and you know why because their advertisers won't let them. in order to create change you have to be honest you have to tell the truth parties able to do that
9:44 pm
every story is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out there to the american public what's happening when a corporation makes a pharmaceutical chills people when a company in the environmental business ends up polluting a river that causes cancer and other illnesses they put all the 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. for to ask you what was the first genocide of the twentieth century some might say the jewish holocaust others might think of the armenian genocide but was actually in the german colony of namibia where the second rights suppressed a revolt by the herero a number of people before attempting a systematic extermination of them perhaps a hundred thousand or unama were killed in the process and those that weren't found
9:45 pm
themselves this possessed and in concentration camps germany apologize for the genocide in two thousand and four but as they were paid reparations which are now being sought by descendants of the pharaoh a number of victims in new york courts under the alien tort statute to learn more about the case i interviewed and even speaker the national center. asking him why this lawsuit is finally being brought now one hundred years after the genocide. in this case why it is taking place events discussions between then governmental and media and the government many have moved on. and they're getting men between the two governments to deal with these issues. and this is after the german north actually accepted that what ok it in nineteen or four hundred. eight could be ten am i suggesting it so there
9:46 pm
is an acceptance in winning as on the part of the german government too busy county come to terms with this that's where we are now certainly so the german government knowledge is that there was a genocide this was under the second rife obviously there was still a century and german empire existed but the germans would have argued that they've been paying in a sense a form of operation by giving aid to namibia since independence in one nine hundred ninety so why is that not a valid point to say that they've been giving millions and hundreds hundreds millions of dollars of aid and that should count as reparation. well i think i think we indeed we acknowledge that the media and german in doing the very core deal of the relationship. and about the creation the genocide it can never be equated with. development eight. it
9:47 pm
is an issue that is fundamental need to be addressed. separately and right now the two governments the two countries today have a plan don't dedicate its special envoys who are overseeing this important process in the case and i mean we are deeply saddened by dr. prominent personality with a vast experience in the history of our country and we are absolutely confident that the government of germany is aware of the effect that they cannot really hide behind. the development aid given to namibia the issue of genocide is too important to be reduced to to the level of being created with development eight. it's fascinating and these are interesting because you don't get
9:48 pm
that history and we don't learn and not about the continent of africa and what went on there especially the colonization. and that's the whole point is that we sort of lump all of coal colonial era politics as sort of being what let's call it that's and it was bad and we know it killed millions of africans who knows how many between slavery and between the overall you know the other wars and the genocide that took place in congo and places like this and call it concentration camps the british and south africa actually before they may be so it's really it sort of gets lumped into one and then you know what merkel is basically been saying is well we apologize but we think that we're getting going to just keep giving you development aid and consider that done whereas the these people are saying no we actually want you to give reparations as he did to the jews and the other point that i think he made was a look these are two separate things you can give us aid as a country just to help. john i'm curious.
9:49 pm
about what you know i think what actually occurred in this genocide. exactly so the next clip will get into obviously the actual genocide itself as you mentioned why we all learned about in the west i wanted to get his opinion on it and also to understand a bit of how this genocide predicts what the germans did to the jews obviously there after the nazi regime so stick around this is the next clip. displays. losing homes. where we hang the concentration camps basically what happened in. jenin experimenting in the media doing that but you couldn't. imagine. the media. to germany for expending meant for x. experiment of bed this is all that form. of the x.
9:50 pm
what happened here so now maybe adding that i was a testing ground during that period idiot and and i see you said i had to leave this was there says about genocide that ok in that one in history. it has taken all these years but we can only say that silently at least the germans have these ponded we are now basically talking about the same issue they're pushing genocide and the question of what to do important since on the fest an apology i'd have to be i give it up on n.b.c. did loud and clear in that meet in parliament secondly to agree on the size and scale of of compensation or impartation that i get i'm not going to say much other than to say that that form part of the negotiations so. obviously
9:51 pm
i think the as you know. will we have never been treated in this in way they do each victims of genocide where we're treated but it's at least we're saying. here us this issue will never go out with. present generation to generation we'll continue to raise the issue and it is far better for us to do with each other head on and it's come to some sort of conclusion. that's less us less heavy heavy with the less important part about studying history in the sea important part of why history needs to be upfront why we need to look back and reflect and make reparations are going because when he said you know what what was done there you know what was tested done on these people and the horror of the horrors that was not upon them and then led directly into the holocaust that took place in the persian for it was a dry run there as we know it works here let's see this again and i think the thinking that is if one the problem of germany has
9:52 pm
a site you can't say one one time that we committed genocide is ok and you know it wasn't the nazi regime but it was still part of the german regime you have to take responsibility for that because the ancestors after it's a part of their history they can't they can't just get over it yeah yeah. you can tell he's being diplomatic obviously i mean going into there the real feeling of you know i was trying to get this ok as an african well you know what do you feel about the fact that we don't accept your history we don't read about it we don't acknowledge your history you know you're not important enough to put into our textbooks i mean that's really the feeling i think you get when as a student of african history it's just like it's it's really brought it out so you know the final question that i put in was to really what the status of reparations suit because obviously they're being governments talk interim government but will this supersede and this is what i had to say. well the case that has taken place in new york is brought about by the the sec dead communities. the two communities. and
9:53 pm
overhead all communities have brought that case out got that case as basically just as and i tend to lean false the negotiations here because. the government and i mean the and the government in jenin i basically sitting at the table discussing this that issue is not brought about by the government on an enemy but rather by their sect and community. ten to draw the attention of the international community do they apply for these people and meet those who have that he's doing. did it. and you know eight so that is it no matter that we do not have. power over. the united states may do but i think what is important is the fact
9:54 pm
that the german authorities have this date. and we have. because they see a winning days and be ted. and that is i think what we should be concentrating on we are not this is a city dismissing their quality in the united states we simply let that play complimentary low in terms of how the issues of genocide. are you talked to him do you feel you know get from him do you feel like very very will eventually get their reparations a bill get that apology and those reparations from the city apologies but he acknowledged but it hasn't been sort of dopp that is like a formal government policy apology where has he said he wants done in in the parliament essentially i mean there's different ways of doing it obviously is one thing to acknowledge and say we're sorry and i think to actually formally do it and
9:55 pm
stop it is a state policy and so what's confusing about the situation is that the new york ok so that they could obviously sue as you know as indigenous peoples in united states where we have states had nothing to do with this particular genocide but still. these people are able to sue here and against the german government so it's really up to the courts within the u.s. to see how that goes but meanwhile the the me being government as a whole is actually now jumping the bandwagon saying hey i want thirty billion dollars from the german government for reparations and so actually some of the some of the defense in there saying well wait a minute you're jumping and are bandwagon because it's like where the indigenous peoples that are suing in the u.s. government are trying to say you want to help a bit to get a bailout essentially you know to get support so it's a very quirky situation that's why on. one hand you have the individual suit then you have the government steward talk to you trying to figure out how to move this forward and merkel basically saying look we'll continue with our aid that we're giving to your country but then the aid is not asleep going to the people and their descendants display that's something really important and we've seen that happen at
9:56 pm
georgetown when there was an understanding that there was acts of slavery and that slaves helped build it and they made a point of facing that and i think that's one thing you have to do is you have to face the horrors of the past and as a country or as a people try to make up for those with the people that work hard i mean that's how we heal all these ones we heal slavery we feel genocide by talking about it and facing the category of the you cannot ignore your part in the whole you know the always this argument is made you know it's like oh well that was the past is ancient history why are they still bad if you realize that the consequence of the economic policies that you and gendered created the conditions of the present and so you can't ignore these consequences of what war is that what slavery policies and claudio policies and all these things have created the conditions of the modern world and they crush economics maybe that's why having this morning is because for you know half a century or more people can see more of this it will grow to learn more about the genocide and then to the quest for reparations the full interview with president
9:57 pm
karzai will be available on. cybersecurity is the future now not just because some scary countries reading your e-mails but because online harassment especially for women has become quite frankly unbearable and with social media companies just clueless to deal with the problem girls are taking matters into their own hands girl scouts that is the girl scouts of america will be offering eight teen new cyber security thing just beginning this fall the idea came from the scouts themselves says girl scouts c.e.o. sylvia activate oh who stated young girls wanted to know how to make sure they didn't get bullied online older girls wanted to know how you can prevent cyber attacks. with the with the dark industry estimated to be over eighty per cent male the programs will help to encourage and prepare young women to take on the future the girl scouts now selling cookies and coding them. that's

9:59 pm
i do not know if the russian state hacked into john podesta emails and gave them to wiki leaks but i do know barack obama's director of national intelligence has not provided credible to support his claims. i also know he perjured himself in a senate hearing planned three months before the revelations provided by edward snowden he denied the beat n.s.a. was carrying out wholesale surveillance of the us. the hyperventilating corporate media has once again proved to be an ethical. for the government claims that cannot be verified you would have thought they would have learned something after serving as george w. bush's useful idiots in the lead up to the invasion of iraq. it is vitally important that the press remains rooted in
10:00 pm
