thank.

you. the u.s. state department. correspondent. state department claims that this is not an anti russian move but simply a move towards parity and an attempt to avoid further escalation the u.s. hopes that having moved toward russia's desire for parity we can avoid further retaliatory actions and move forward to achieve the stated goal of improved relations between our two countries but how these closures are meant to help the situation really isn't clear the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has already

expressed his regret over the escalation that he says were not started by russia and escalate it has when russia recently announced that the u.s. would need to reduce the u.s. embassy worker numbers by seven hundred fifty five people they were given around a month to do so but these closures ordered by the u.s. are only being given two days to be taken into a fact all of this started last year when allegations began to surface that russia had interfered in the u.s. presidential election claims that were never proven or backed up by any concrete evidence directly after that in december we saw the u.s. expelled thirty five russians from the country in reaction to that it took it in stride not reacting in any manner and in fact the right kind of us missile to the kremlin for their new year's eve celebration and not to think we've seen round after round of sanctions imposed against russia by the u.s. including a fresh batch earlier this month that trump signed off on in contrast to that just days ago he was announcing and expressing again his confidence that the two

countries can finally find common ground and come together say it loud and clear i've been saying it for years and i think it's a good thing if we have great relationships or at least good relationships with russia that's very important and i believe some day that will happen thursday's decision point really comes just as the new russian ambassador to the us has arrived and gotten straight to work of course we did what we could to improve our relations with the u.s. unfortunately we still haven't reached a consensus on many use he's clearly a bumpy start for him on the job but after years in the game he has fairly tough. both countries have repeatedly expressed the hope of improving thai and yet with washington having this tit for tat approach it's not really clear if that's going to be possible. r.t. washington d.c. various analysts told us the decision to shut down the consulate was in mature and russia's new ambassador to the united states faces a tough job ahead. because the. time and by the americans to

embarrass them doesn't and doesn't and that he he in fact. is going to have find it very very difficult to perform his duties and to establish trust them both into. really. the worst possible day i didn't expected i had hoped that at some point this downward spiral in our relationships would and we could we could get back to normal this is simply one more change for tad it's rather childish i think if we had a little bit more mature leadership within the state department i think it would be helpful i do believe that trump probably has some desire to have good relations with russia but this manufactured scandal and it is manufactured of russia gate for lack of a better word has painted him into a corner and there are obviously parts of the u.s.

stablish meant that do not want reproach with russia. the u.s. led coalition attempts to retake remaining parts of syria's rock out from the un warns not enough is being done to specify in the end why. would we witnessing essentially right now iraq is a fight by coalition and all the forces against isis we're concerned that not enough is being done to at hue to the international law requirements for the protection of civilians and access to photographs taken by local journalists which have given a rare look inside the city of revealing the truth of destruction. which

. first of all let me say that what is happening now in rocca is destruction it's not liberation at all for eighty four days rocka has been under siege but this sees only harm civilians trapped inside since eisel captured the city and the siege is imposed by syrian democratic forces on the ground that is backed by the u.s. led coalition's airstrikes these airstrikes destroy schools hospitals the whole infrastructure we as journalists have documented that more than two thousand civilians have been killed as a result of the coalition's airstrikes they do not target the places where jihad is to gather although everyone knows where they are while u.s. jets attack from the air s.d.f. attacks from the ground and at night jihadists use suicide vehicles to regain territories controlled by the s.d.f. but there is no serious combat as all one can see that clearly from the videos posted by both the s.d.f.

and the coalition that look i still has about one thousand fighters in iraq and the s.d.f. claims to have thirty five thousand to forty thousand soldiers and they confront a mere one thousand terrorists if s.d.f. and the coalition wanted to liberate rocka they could accomplish it within ten days . according to the u.n. there are at least twenty thousand civilians still trapped inside rocka in august alone the coalition carried out over a thousand strikes in that area and u.n. adds the intensity of the strikes coupled with eyesores use of civilians as human shields is deeply concerning. based journalist most alcohol off again shed details of just how grave the conditions have become. there aren't even basic necessities such as bread and water medicine no electricity no fuel the national hospital and the al salaam hospital were completely destroyed and there is

not one left for civilians but there are two or three hospitals operating for eisold fighters the americans blew up bridges leading out of the city and in fact prevented civilians from leaving iraq although terrorists can easily exit the city even though the areas controlled by s.t.s. from the coalition so twenty five thousand civilians from besieged areas do not deserve safe passage. so the f.b.i. has denied a freedom of information act request to release files relating to hillary clinton's e-mails claims there's a quote lack of public interest for such a disclosure to be made. in the gulf process and jaco tries to shed some light new york attorney tie club injury has been waiting for more than a year for the f.b.i. to fulfill his freedom of information request and reveal the files on hillary clinton's e-mails only to get this response you've not sufficiently demonstrated

that the public's interest in disclosure outweighs personal privacy interests of the subject. well whatever the f.b.i. thinks the public certainly made its interest in the e-mails loud and clear these are the three questions that are coming out of that timeline that continue to drive the story i'm sorry when you use a private e-mail on a private server your privacy rights are out the window when you're the secretary of state of the united states of america you don't have privacy anymore she chose to do this because on her and i personally would like to know in a way reminds me of the nixon tapes shouldn't go away on the substance and voters do care about there are enough all that fuss was being made while clinton was still running for the presidency but perhaps now the emails won't be as damaging especially given that clinton insists there was nothing classified in the first let me say that i am confident that i never sent nor received any information that was classified at the time it was sent and received there was nothing marked classified

on my e-mails either sender really only problem for her is that's not true it seems she never sent or received any classified information over her private email was true our investigation found that there was classified information so it was not true just weeks before the of the ice said there is nothing in clinton's e-mails the public needs to know a federal judge ruled that the state department should do more to investigate its servers for clinton's messages related to the tragic been gazi attack which left several u.s. officials dead that decision was welcomed by judicial watch this major court ruling may finally result in more answers about the benghazi scandal and hillary clinton's involvement in it as we approach the attacks fifth anniversary yet still be a vi keep silent insisting there is insufficient proof of public interest to more conditions also mentioned by the agency earlier this year they said they are ready to release the records if mrs clinton agrees to

a lease of the information or passes away we go francis and jago r.t. . well the lawyer at the center of the story gave us his take he believes the f.b.i. is simply trying to uphold its own reputation rather than back hillary clinton. well when i when i first got the letter from the f.b.i. i laughed out loud the absurdity of trying to suggest that there was a matter of public interest i sent him back a letter with a copy of a washington post article on some google search terms to show just how many articles there were out there. it was funny at first but then i was lying about it within the last twelve hours that i can change my view on the significance of the story i originally thought the f.b.i. was trying to protect mrs clinton i now think the f.b.i. is trying to protect itself and i think that's because they not only did it strongly poor job in the investigation but they sabotage the investigation so at this point if the records start coming out i mean already today we had the release

of records showing that mr comey had already decided to exonerate her before she had finished the investigation so if that's the case then the f.b.i. does not want the records coming out because it will make them look even worse. around the world of celebrating one of the most important dates in the islamic calendar known as the festival. right here thousands of muslims have also. joining us live here on the program now we've seen thousands of people on the streets this morning. well indeed this is one of the hold the holiest day. the festival of sacrifice it is the culmination of one of the sacred traditions of. the annual pilgrimage to or it is celebrated only in russia by millions of

people and here in moscow on this beautiful sunny day several streets have been completely shut all around this beautiful beautiful mosque behind me just to allow as many devoted muslims. join in the morning. which kicks off the official celebration of aid a lot how now it is important to understand that some of that the press has already wrapped up and most people have left but we still through some pockets of people who are who have not left the mosque yet now in fact people have been gathering here since four in the morning now this holaday also has seen its fair share of controversy i should say because it is called a festival of sacrifice for a reason the tradition goes that the most affluent muslims are supposed to make an animal sacrifice on this day normally they go with

a round and some still do and it makes some people very unhappy and they say that it should not be part of the celebration anymore but at the same time a lot of muslims they no longer follow this tradition they just go for a prayer and they spend some time back home with their families and just greeting guests because that is essentially what this holiday is all about rory. thank you. for the program continues in just a moment here on r.t. international in the mix of your headlines our media freedom in sweden it's coming under the spotlight. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the senate is full on. the only show i go out of my way to. the really packed a punch to sleep yeah mr john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are

apparently better than. the sea people you've never heard of love redacted tonight president of the world bank take. me seriously send us an e-mail. seems wrong but. just don't call. me. to shape out just. to. engage me in the trail. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

here in moscow it is a conflict that's already lost in sixteen years now more u.s. troops will be heading to afghanistan the pentagon chief james mattis has now signed an order to dispatch additional forces one lows this is to enable the afghan forces to fight more effectively it is more revises it is more in the bill as far as support. the numbers involved have not been that were very old but when the state of the u.s. acknowledged of currently has eleven thousand military personnel in afghanistan that's about two and a half thousand more than previously stated the pentagon insists there's been no increase in troop numbers for the moment just in the way it tallies the total now the move to bolster u.s. forces comes after donald trump announced his new strategy for afghanistan last week which also set no deadline for an end to that war however the number of troops

to be stationed in the country is being kept under wraps in addition trump wants nato allies to throw more soldiers and more money into the fight robert naiman policy director at the just foreign policy think tank says the new strategy new strategy i should say will simply lead to more deaths lyndon johnson said of vietnam ok i know that we can win but i'm not going to be the first president to lose a war that kicking the can down the road keep it going don't you know don't pull out then make the next guy take responsibility for it that's a pattern that we've seen. over and over no more u.s. troops are in afghanistan no more afghan civilians will be kill you first of all because of you for a military operation secondly the thing that makes us commander most. redcliffe in the u.s. in the use of u.s.

firepower is protecting u.s. troops clear whatever rules of engagement in one well no u.s. commander will ever be punished for using any amount of firepower those two factors mean more u.s. troops equals surely more air. generally modified foods giant monsanto is calling for an investigation into an agency of the world health organization that's after the body published a report claiming some of the company's products like the weed killer glyphosate are linked to cancer monsanto says the w.h.o. ignored two major studies that found no connection to the disease when an organization such is the international agency for research on cancer is given authority with that comes a responsibility to be objective transparent thorough and fair at least in this

instance their process was corrupted apparently with individuals who have an agenda . the company says it carries out its own extensive examinations although critics are question the fact monsanto funded the very studies that claim the chemicals used were benign in nature well i mean while frons will vote on an extension to its current life or say based on the potential dangers it poses the organic consumers associations are likes a spade and mayor claims monsanto falsifies is falsifies its research for profit and ultimately barry's bad news monsanto has two point eight billion dollars in sales of their top selling roundup weed killer at stake here so surely monsanto is very nervous about what the e.u. could do at this point monsanto is notorious for paying for scientists to conduct research for it for falsifying data for completely ghostwriting fires and then

hiring fire to put their names on it so we know that monsanto pulls out all the stops when it comes to falsifying suppressing and unduly influence thing if i have on the subject. sweden is often held up as a beacon of media freedom worldwide however growing numbers of disturbing cases are coming out which appear to put that reputation is in doubt a us journalist researching the country's schools of so-called no go zones areas with serious public security concerns was ordered to leave by police and mainstream media even branded him a quote threat to democracy in another case a nurse complaining about the deteriorating situation of the country's health care system was accused of being under a quote hidden power of influence we spoke to the editor of conservative news website situation malmo he says the country's media are at the heart of the establishment. still in sweden little.

big. bruise or worse still. porters floor to majority of the people in the media in sweden has a doctor and when a journalist. pushing for a political agenda many journalists are doing that if you wanted to finish an arthritis release me days they are establishment and media and sweden is very powerful we have public broadcasters service s.t.t. television that is part of the government system so people do not want to have conflict with the popular media as a lot of people just live in their life and do they don't get the gauge the critic criticism reviews the government or against this stablish. meanwhile the top swedish newspaper expression has been exposing private citizens who criticize the government on the internet they sought out people writing negative comments online

to challenge them face to face however despite the deep controversy and ethical concern of a publicly shaming private citizens for expressing their opinions the dailies editors were even on note for their actions. start with you or not you really do or did ask. you know terry and mark homo something that you wrote and ask why did you do it and exposing the person who is shocked because this person is not a politician he explores in this first four tires with. me he. did be a very wrong reason and on the democratic behavior you don't get exposed people because they have a different doctor and i learned to program. it's the

italian drink that's been a sparkling success in the u.k. with sales of prosecco fizzing to new highs but a growing tide of negative coverage about the beverage threatens to turn things decidedly flat in the latest british dentists of want of a so-called. smile tooth decay caused by the drinks high sugar content but italian politicians have told the media to put a cork in it and say that temples are the only thing to keep britain smiling after president.

joining us here on r.t. international so far it's nearly half past nine friday september the first it's morning here in moscow and we are back in half and.

the two thousand and eight economic crisis turns some countries into pigs these are the countries with colonies that needed austerity policies if you are in a situation of flow bloat even the recession austerity is a very bad idea. it doesn't work it makes millions of people very unhappy those who are unemployed see there which is the. almost a decade how good are the results. of the increased. the climate is i mean if a legal. challenge must. think it's just something then.

why are the same issues still employees who want. to. this is the truth they consider is the consequences are actually quite acceptable to the decision. to sophie and co the beautiful game is to favor it entertainment and pastime a sport that requires intense and constant training technical ability and great physical shape but it's also a game imagination strategy determination what goes on in the world

of football behind the scenes well i guess today legendary barcelona and spain defender. share he's inside all the aspects of football i'm seeing by the cameras. a player who never left the club he loved rising through the ranks from the youth academy to captain the main. sticking with the club through the years. as a failure only to bring about a decade of impossible success nell off to an illustrious career what is karla's by old next move and while he's off the pitch for the first time in decades can a play like that with the leaf football behind for good. it's great to have you with us today hello if that was right if i'm your cup well just recently fabio capello said that barcelona are missing a captain like what kind of a captain where you and captains really played such an important role what.

i would like to find for his warm words however i think the team is fine as it is as it is important each player is in the right place if you know this certainly and the captain plays a very important role he has to speak for the team in front of the fans and the media as lots of times he has to handle the behavior of his teammates and help them out in difficult times interested people about when they're on the captain also helps newcomers and the other settle down in the new club but those are in short the captain is a key figure in football but innocent of the functions i described are performed not only by the captain in a moment that often unless it's other players particularly veterans as the.

well the spurs you do become a coach eventually like that do you see yourself managing any other team besides barcelona. at this point in time i don't plan to become a coach it is a very challenging profession. you are in charge of twenty five players you did it kate yourself to food twenty four hours a day it is extremely difficult i was fully committed to my profession as you know i was in football twenty four hours a day and the most important thing for me was to recover after every match and then get ready for training and the next game i mean i worked really hard and so now i need to relax a little bit and spend more time with my family my wife and kids but i have two daughters one is just five months old and the other is two and

a four months i just want to enjoy my fatherhood also i run a project together with vanderlip and yes and i'm also stress it's goal is to mentor young players educate them about the profession of the football player and teach them how to enjoy it so my focus is on that right now it is an inspiring project and i'm interested in taking it somewhere. you've trained under many a legendary coach what kind of a manager works best for a successful team a strict and demanding one or one who is first and foremost a friend to the players. i believe it includes all of it's really a coach must be demanding if it's necessary but should also give some degree of freedom to the players because we're all adults and we understand what responsibility is we must know what we have to do but at the same time we need a certain degree of freedom it's not like we live in the barracks taking orders

like in the army so you can basically do what you feel is right but you need to remember about your responsibility. but it. was. very tough coach thought that a training session or a match players were free to do virtually anything within reasonable limits to me this. lets you were kind of horrified when i see that every season when that transfer window opens and he's spending record is set i mean do you think it is ok to pay hundred million dollars for a football player there's a move. that's the world of football it is about big money and this better i do not decide the price of this or that player or food ball has always been associated with money however that's just how it is it's certainly such a high some might seem far fetched if you're thinking about areas of other than

football. yet doesn't that most of you know i don't mean that football players are not really talented or is it they don't deserve the prize on the contrary but what about the club sudan has millions to spend. you need to work out ok you need to work hard with i'm going to give the net i guess you can get the money if you really want it then you also need to remember that money cannot really win you the title if you can only buy the best players to get a star studded team. victories are not only secured by money as this year for example the premier league's wealthiest teams did not manage to win the titles they all lost to leicester city it's a team that doesn't have as big of a budget as others do this it is an excellent example of how you can build a strong team and work hard to achieve your goal there are good players are

important but the also need to be able to work or he serves as a team this is most critical for success teams with a smaller budget can always challenge the richer peers like i did to go to my lead a more modest club whose heart of the heels of barcelona and their money to get it means that atletico work with you hard and can become a role model for food ball clubs with a small budget. will prosper what wouldn't you know the football today is a super profitable business what about young players who are just eighteen nineteen how difficult is it to stay calm reasonable when you become rich at such an early age is it really possible to continue focusing on food well i mean you had to go through all of this right what's your recipe i mean how did you manage to stay in touch with reality and not lose your hat. so in that i mean they all depends again on the person and their environment enough i

mean for example i grew up in a working class family and i always remembered my background where i come from and i have always kept the values that i was brought up with my my surroundings have always been normal and i never needed any fancy cars but i never needed to buy things just to show off my wealth. to be honest i lead quite a simple life. but i mean what was my biggest basham on that i did not dream of fame or money which football can bring for. you touched upon an important issue there is indeed a danger that some young people will lose touch with reality when they get this kind of salary it's a major issue this will the higher you go the more painful it will be to fall. so this is why we created

a program where we try to help young players value what they have and understand that money should not be a priority. yes well it's an important part of life but you should always focus on the most important thing and that is football you know and it is not about earning quick money into or three years is about a long career or fifteen years which can bring you a fantastic money and secure a comfortable life for you your children and your family. so you act as an agent now ray and guide young players through transfers how crucial is to agents i remember a story when we go quick barcelona to join your us were enemy and. because his agent has signed a contract with them. i just wonder what's the power of agents over players. indeed those agents

do exist however they don't really have a good reputation they are after their own personal gain burning their fee from transfers i would like to move away from these stereotypes to focus more on the players themselves to help them and act like a mentor and it is very important to have someone who guides you when your career who takes care of you up helps you to handle your emotions. agent who thinks only about money can easily earn a lot if you as a great player you can just move the player around from one team to another every year however if the player won't have the stability that he needs to rebuild floor sure it might work out well but i think the players need stability and the reliable person brother's side to take care of him for the football players always

experience strong emotions and live a very charged life i mean if a player has been benched for instance he might sell his agent and he wants to leave the club the next day but the agent must stay calm and wait for a couple of days until the player calms down and wants to play again i was lucky to be playing since i was fifteen and i had to go through all of this i lived through those emotions so i want to use my experience to help the players i mentor. so you're more of a mentor rather than. financially agent so you start absolutely. are a priority for me. as i one of my players in the best team earn as much as possible but money should never prevail over sports. we're going to take a short break right now when we're back we'll continue speaking. lionheart capital the legendary capital of. world and european champions. and we'll talk more about

what's going on in the football world these days stay with us. in case you're new to the game this is how. the economy is built around. corporations from washington to washington. voters elected a businessman to run this country business because. you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. when lawmakers manufacture consent to stick to the public will. when the

ruling closest to protect them so. when the final merry go round if suddenly the woman. with no middle of the room signals. the more you leave the room. or you remember the beverly hillbillies the t.v. show. porn man named barely got the family to know some crude came from bubbling crude oil that is black gold texas tea well in the opening credits that t.v. show they show this year's beverly hills mansion and that mansion has just traded in the market and took a huge discount many many many millions of dollars in discount it's poetic justice that jed clampett the original oil baron in los angeles his mansion is getting

hammered in the market so boyle obviously is not working anymore. the knot winds up. somehow flew off down one of the definitions and i'm back in the . one seeking i need. to take him you know equal sitting. down to get the gun and then you're going to bring. out with a gun. right now i think oh boy i'm going to let you know one of the young man sets out. to do this just silly me one means i love just now you know but i learned from this one tokyo fund it is going to happen to good. he.

says look because. last time we chased. each one of the carrying twenty kilos of drugs.

in. there this is the. i don't know. i was. around one. back to you. and we're returning now to our chat with that. and i living symbol of the barcelona football club he's

a man who has won every title in the world of football from the domestic league and cup to the champions league. and the world cup with spain to find out what it takes to win it all at the highest level we asked the legendary catalysts. for the two thousand and eighteen feet both world cup and russia will underway one slip up for individual mistakes could mean heartbreak for an entire nation when the stakes are only the strongest teams will guide their countries to the finals so how do cultures pick the right players for the job what makes certain individuals match winners when leaders. deciding factor in winning global's boards most common surprise you. know what would your valuable carlists you how the world cup in your hands you also know what it means to lose.

what is the most decisive factor when it comes to winning a major tournaments like that that didn't get those i'm thinking i mean obviously both teams must be really strong if they made it to the finals so that it all just amounts to luck. with. it isn't only look. it depends on many factors i believe the world cup takes place at the end of a very busy season and so you need to look at the posing team and keep in mind the shape they're in and how tired they are and you need to look at whether it was a long season for their players have made it to the finals of their home competitions whether they won or lost were wrong plays a huge role also it's important to have a good lineup a roster of players that are eager to play and who enjoy it you might have a star lineup but if they're not ready to play as

a team they will fail they need to be a real team. and you need to be on top for seven consecutive games if you make at least one mistake so moments when you need luck buddy also need to work hard professionalism and you need to have talent it's a little bit of everything. you can't claim that you won such a major and difficult event as the world cup only through luck that will be a huge injustice to the players because there are so many factors behind this kind of victory. and the most important factor that it all comes down to is hard work which. is the only sport without doping is it true that football players don't need doping you're going to. have never heard about any positive doping cases in football particularly in barcelona we were

once accused of doping when i was a lie and it's the ball that moves most in our sport not the players so the players need to know how to handle it i have not heard of any substance and i wouldn't have the performance of a football player in that regard yes you can feel stronger and more resilient but football is. handling the ball so you need to have the skills to control it. there is no doping in football there's only hard work and talent and their ability to control the ball in the. city for the world cup in brazil did a doping test on every player and spent massive amounts of money on it do you think it's a waste of time and money i don't know. indeed there were doping tests ahead of the world cup and brazil but i wasn't there because of a knee injury. well a lot of tests are done before major food bill events like the world cup with european tournaments or even

a club levels up short of that there are so many tests that i think it would be completely silly so abused banned substances at their most you know we have about fifteen to twenty here and they can be held at any moment and if you test positive i would be suspended for two years and your reputation with series to suffer i think is just stupid to play these kind of. planning to come to russia for two thousand and eighteen world cup an e.t.s. many what capacity. was always such a festival and a major event for the whole world of football and we as fans we always want to be a part of it to enjoy. a fantastic event not only for football players but also for millions of fans and football lovers and it's wonderful to have the opportunity to get a flavor of the atmosphere of the world cup to breathe air so yes i am planning to

come to russia. but in what capacity i don't you know hopefully i will come as an agent as part of my company and i hope that the upcoming world cup will feature many strong players. you made your way up through barcelona slower and you squats all the way into the top eleven of the main team to mean that there was a person who noticed you discovered your talent how can you really identify that this or that particular player has a gift when he's sitting on the bench for instance is it just interaction. well you just need to work hard to train as much as possible listen to your coaches to the people who help you. and then although i'm sorry i think you didn't make it clear enough i was asking how can people identify those talents suppose you see

a young player on a bench how do you know he's going to be a star is it intuition. it's really hard to do that when the player is on the bench but when he's out on the pitch you just watch him and pay attention to certain details as they can you make conclusions on the. agency who really has a good eye for it i've known him for a long time he's got one of the best eyes for young talent in football he used to play in espanol when i played for barcelona and he would often come over to me and ask me about some young player like fourteen year old neymar. always paid attention to young players who are not famous at the time but who have grown into stars today that he would always tell me keep an eye on that guy very good. very happy that he's part of our team is in love with his passionate and everything

related to it or to seek new talents if we want to discover them and guide them to a long and happy career. and we think this. thing about a limit on foreign players is just the right solution i mean there are big clubs like barcelona i.x. manchester united which have their own academies and there are clubs by many former players do you think that tough limits on foreigners can actually help bring up the mystic talents. or repeat the translation this is a delicate topic and i really want to make sure i understood it correctly. stari internet of course is great so have a club school or a club's academy about that on a loan it has always produced very strong players thanks to that but i mean it's one of the best places to train because of its philosophy and so me that's very important yes. if you don't find what you're looking for in one place you have to

try and find it elsewhere but about it for me though the core of the team needs to consist of local players in this case the team spirit is much stronger said i also agree with barcelona spain last you need to produce as many good players in your own academy as possible and only some position is still not filled then you start looking elsewhere but i wish there are clubs who don't have a youth team and simply my players from other clubs different clubs have different visions and we need to live with that but i personally like barcelona's concept more that you need to bring up your own players and the fact that we won every title possible with the help of our own homegrown young talents demonstrates our success and is a source of pride for all our fans in could be really you know where your butt but at the honest if you. have been known as a player who works hard and trains

a lot what's more important to have a talent or to work hard when for instance no matter how hard i try i can become a composer right is it more a gift or if you work really really hard you can actually make it. i think both of us started out i have always worked hard myself when i joined barcelona. might have had less talent than others but neither of them had such a passion to go to the top as i have to at the same time you still need to have the makings of a good player. but i can work as hard as i ever did but i would still not be able to play the piano or dance simply because i don't have an aptitude for this so you need to have that ability but you also need to translate that into practice every day by working hard and perfecting your skills this is how i did it when i was still playing throughout my career so highly talented players who did not show

perseverance and that's why they didn't make it i also saw players with less talent but who had a dream desire to succeed and they were able to go to the top league and have a long career. you need to have both a bright side and you are extremely hard working you can achieve the same as messi and cristiano ronaldo it can become that i can of a whole generation why didn't you ever try your luck elsewhere in other clubs or leaks were you ever tempted to win titles in other countries work where they speak other languages but i was lucky to play in barcelona and it's my club and my heart belongs to it i moved from one another until i joined the main team this was a dream come true for me at the beginning we struggled for five years with no trophies and it was very difficult for everybody but after frank reichardt. joined the club we were able to build

a strong squad able to become. in two thousand and eight. came to the club as a manager and that's one of the best time of my life started that's when we want every title possible indeed i got lots of offers from other. where i could have earned much more money although i probably wouldn't have earned as many titles as i did with barcelona. but i'm proud that i remained loyal to my club my heart prevailed over any kind of business sense it was important for me to stay at home with my friends and fans but i don't blame anyone for switching clubs gives you an opportunity to experience life see other cultures learn more about different perspectives on football i didn't have that experience but i was hopping the club which i can call the club of my life. thank you very much for this interview. thank you so much.

welcome to the wonderful world of blood donation i come here every three weeks to get my transfusion to be specific i receive immunoglobulin my body gets and some bodies that i cannot produce itself around the world giving blood is seen as a symbol of generosity and does this because it helps people it's one of the side effects is that it this applies more. to put money on your car immediately. half of all plasma based drugs today come from private companies and are produced from paid plans much smaller.

and. what are the risks of pay donation. then is proof that the frequency of pathologies is much higher in paid donations. if i was. over two years. he will go get the money from the for growth and who runs the blood business. down not once up. enough limbs off let down one by its nature the definition is enough i'm back and the. ones you king i need south. and. take in the equal city and the south yes it did me good oxycodone and then you're going to bring. it out with the guys. and young movie it might not be. out in the night beach we out on the

the. request to release. quote. on the program.

was a matter of public interest. thanks for joining us. the u.s. state department ordered the closure of the russian consulate in san francisco along with two within the next two days and then moved. to a whole new low with more details his correspondent. state department claims that this is not an anti russian move but simply a move towards parity and an attempt to avoid further escalation. the u.s. hopes that having moved toward russia's desire for parity we can avoid further retaliatory action soon move forward to achieve the stated goal of improved

relations between our two countries but how these closures are meant to help the situation really isn't clear the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has already expressed his regret over the escalation that he says were not started by russia and escalate it has when russia recently announced that the u.s. would need to reduce u.s. embassy worker numbers by seven hundred fifty five people they were given around a month to do so but these closures ordered by the u.s. are only being given two days to be taken into a fact all of this started last year when allegations began to surface that russia had interfered in the u.s. presidential election claims that were never proven or backed up by any concrete evidence directly after that in december we saw the u.s. expelled thirty five russians from the country in reaction to that the kremlin took it in stride not reacting in any official manner and in fact that. you have to look to the kremlin for their new year's eve celebration and not to think we've seen round after round of sanctions imposed against russia by the u.s.

and colluding a fresh batch earlier this month that trump signed off on in contrast to that just days ago he was announcing and expressing again his confidence that the two countries can finally find common ground and come together say it loud and clear i've been saying it for years and i think it's a good thing if we have great relationships or at least good relationships with russia that's very important and i believe some day that will happen thursday's decision point really comes just as the new russian ambassador to the us has arrived and gotten straight to work of course we did what we could to improve our relations with the u.s. unfortunately we still haven't reached a consensus on many use use. clearly a bumpy start for him on the job but after years in the game he has fairly tough

skin obviously it's tightened by the americans to embarrass him. and the t. he in fact. he's going to have a very very difficult to perform his duties and to establish trust. really. in the worst possible day both countries have repeatedly expressed the hope of improving thai and yet with washington having this tit for tat approach it's not really clear if that's going to be possible. r.t. washington d.c. and various analysts told us the decision to shut down the consulate was a mature and russia's new ambassador to the united states faces a tough job ahead. so you can by russia most recently to reduce the number of staff was to create parity between the two countries where russia would have as many people working at its embassies here in the u.s. as the u.s.

would have been in russia so we were at a parity situation is now that suddenly comes out of the blue and it's again destabilize the situation and at the same time we have trump talking about relations with russia so you have to wonder who is calling the shots here i didn't expected i had hoped that at some point this downward spiral in our relationships would and we could we could get back to normal this is simply one more change for tat it's rather childish i think if we had a little bit more mature leadership within the state department i think it would be helpful i do believe that trump probably has some desire to have good relations with russia but this manufactured scandal and it is manufactured of russia gate for lack of a better word has painted him into a corner and there are obviously parts of the u.s.

stablish mint that do not want reproach with russia. as the u.s. led coalition attempts to retake remaining parts of syria's rocket from i so the u.n. warns not enough is being done to specify million lives would we witnessing essentially right now iraq is a fight coalition and all the forces against isis were concerned that militant enough is being done to adhere to the international law requirements for the protection of civilians. and access to photographs taken by a local journalist with child given a red look inside the city revealing the truth scale of its destruction. but.

first of all let me say that what is happening now in rocca is destruction it's not liberation at all for eighty four days rocka has been under siege but this sees only harm civilians trapped inside since eisel captured the city and the siege is imposed by syrian democratic forces on the ground that is backed by the u.s. led coalition's airstrikes these airstrikes destroy schools hospitals the whole infrastructure we as journalists have documented that more than two thousand civilians have been killed as a result of the coalition's airstrikes they do not target the places where jihad is to gather although everyone knows where they are while u.s. jets attack from the air s.d.f. attacks from the ground and at night jihadists use suicide vehicles to regain territories controlled by the s.d.f. but there is no serious combat at all. one can see that clearly from the videos posted by both the s.d.f. and the coalition. look eisel has about one thousand fighters in iraq and the

s.d.f. claims to have thirty five thousand to forty thousand soldiers and they confront a mere one thousand terrorists if s.d.f. and the coalition wanted to liberate rocka they could accomplish it within ten days . according to the un there are at least twenty thousand civilians still trapped inside rucka in august alone the coalition carried out over a thousand air strikes in that area the u.n. adds the intensity of the strikes coupled with by souls use of civilians as human shields is deeply concerning iraq a base jonathan again show details of just how grave the conditions have become. i mean. there aren't even basic necessities such as bread and water medicine no electricity no fuel the national hospital and the al salaam hospital were completely destroyed and there is not one left for civilians but there are two or

three hospitals operating for eisold fighters the americans blew up bridges leading out of the city and in fact prevented civilians from leaving iraq although terrorists can easily exit the city even though the areas controlled by s.t.s. from the coalition so twenty five thousand civilians from besieged areas do not deserve safe passage. and past the hour here in moscow the f.b.i. has denied a freedom of information request to release files relating to hillary clinton's e-mails in fact the f.b.i. claims there's a quote lack of public interest for such a disclosure to be made. tries to shed some light. new york attorney tie clevenger has been waiting for more than a year for the f.b.i. to fulfill his freedom of information requests and reveal the files on hillary clinton's e-mails only to get this response you've not sufficiently demonstrated

that the public's interest in disclosure outweighs personal privacy interests of the subject while whatever the f.b.i. thinks the public certainly made its interest in the e-mails loud and clear these are the three questions that are coming out of that timeline that continue to drive the story i'm sorry when you use a private e-mail on a private server your privacy rights are out the window when you're the secretary of state of the united states of america you don't have privacy anymore she chose to do this because on her and i personally would like to know in a way reminds me of the nixon tapes shouldn't go away on the substance and voters do care about their enough all that fuss was being made while clinton was still running for the presidency but perhaps now the emails won't be as damaging especially given that clinton insists there was nothing classified in the first let me say that i am confident that i never sent nor received any information that was classified at the time it was sent and received there was nothing marked classified

on my e-mails either sender really only problem for her is that's not true it seems she never sent or received in the classified information over her private e-mail was true. our investigation found that there was classified information so it was not true just weeks before the of the ice said there is nothing in clinton's e-mails the public needs to know a federal judge ruled that the state department should do more to investigate its servers for clinton's messages related to the tragic been gazi attack which left several u.s. officials dead that decision was welcomed by judicial watch this major court ruling may finally result in more answers about the benghazi scandal and hillary clinton's involvement in it as we approach the attacks fifth anniversary yet still be a vi keep silent insisting there is insufficient proof of public interest to more conditions also mentioned by the agency earlier this year they said they are ready to release the records if mrs clinton agrees to

a lease of the information or that as a way to go francis and jago r.t. the lawyer at the center of the story gave us his take he believes the f.b.i. is simply trying to uphold its own reputation of rather than support hillary clinton. well when i when i first got the letter from the f.b.i. i laughed out loud did the absurdity of trying to suggest that that it was a matter of public interest i sent him back a letter with a copy of a washington post article and some google search terms to show just how many articles there were out there so it's it was funny at first but then i was a little angry about it within the last twelve hours that actually changed my view on the significance of this story i originally thought the f.b.i. was trying to protect mrs clinton i now think the f.b.i. is trying to protect itself and i think that's because they not only did it strongly poor job in the investigation but they sabotaged the investigation so at this point if the records start coming out i mean already today we had the release

of records showing that mr comey had already decided to exonerate her before she had finished the investigation so if that's the case then the f.b.i. does not want the records coming out because it will make them look even worse. muslims around the world celebrating one of the most important dates in the islamic calendar known as the festival of sacrifice and moscow thousands of muslims have also got the pray as. you would on the reports. this is the one of the whole list if not the holiest day of islam or the festival of sacrifice it is the culmination of one of the most sacred traditions of islam and that is the annual pilgrimage to mecca or now it is celebrated only in russia by millions of people and here in moscow on this beautiful sunny day several streets have been completely shut off around this beautiful beautiful mosque behind me just to allow as many devoted

muslims as possible to join in on the morning prayer which kicks off the official celebration of eight allowed in fact people have been gathering here since four in the morning now this holaday also has seen its fair share of controversy i should say because it is called a facet of sacrifice for a reason the tradition goes that the most affluent muslims are supposed to make an animal sacrifice on this day normally they go with a round and some still do and it makes some people very unhappy and they should they say that it should not be part of the celebration anymore but at the same time a lot of muslims they no longer follow this tradition they just go for a prayer and they then spend some time back home with their families and just greeting guests it is all international thanks for joining us so far feel friday

program and genetically modified food giant monsanto is trying to fire back at the world health organization details just a mum. lead . player. little league. lead. lebanon war hawks selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the

chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles they don't believe the new socks product tell you that will be gossip and probably buy a file for the most important day. of advertising telling me you are not cool enough and let's not fight their product least. all the hawks that we along with our love watching led. good to have you with us today for the program it is a conflict that has lasted sixteen years but now more u.s. troops will be heading to afghanistan pentagon chief james mattis has now signed an order to dispatch additional forces were low as this is to enable the afghan forces to fight more effectively it is more revises it is more in the bill as far as the puts on wednesday the u.s. acknowledged it currently has eleven thousand military personnel in afghanistan

that's about two and a half thousand more than previously stated at the pentagon insists there's been no increase in troop numbers for the moment just a change in the way it tallies the total now the move to bolster u.s. forces comes after donald trump announced his brand new strategy for afghanistan that was just last week however also provided no deadline for an end to the war also the number of additional troops to be sent to the country is now being kept under wraps in addition the president wants nato allies to throw more soldiers and more more money into the fight afghan strategy shakeup is raising fears of even more civilian casualties in the country on thursday eleven civilians were confirmed dead in an airstrike by nato forces according to local officials the forces said they were targeting taliban militants but locals claim there were no extremists in the area there's been no confirmation of the strike so far from nato or the u.s.

led coalition but a spokesperson for the nato led mission in kabul says the reports are still being investigated are open naman policy director at the just foreign policy think tank says the new strategy will simply lead to more civilian deaths and lyndon johnson said of vietnam ok i know that we care when but i am not going to be the first president to lose a war that kicking the can down the. go. don't you know don't pull out then make the next guy take responsibility for that it's a battle no he's. over and over no more u.s. troops are in afghanistan no more afghan civilians will be kill you first of all because of the foreign military operation secondly the thing that makes us commander the most. reckless in the us in the use

of u.s. firepower is protecting u.s. troops clear whatever rules of engagement in one well no u.s. commander will ever be punished for using any amount of firepower those two factors mean more u.s. troops equals surely more afghan. the genetically modified foods giant monsanto was calling for an investigation into an agency of the world health organization that's after the body had published a report claiming that some of the company's products like the weed killer glyphosate are linked to cancer on santos says the w.h.o. ignored two major studies that found no connection to the disease when an organization such is the international agency for research on cancer is given authority with that comes a responsibility to be objective transparent fair and share at least in this instance their process was corrupted apparently with individuals who have an agenda

. the company says it carries out its own extensive examinations although critics of question the fact monsanto funded the very studies that claim the chemicals used in nature in the meantime france will vote on an extension to its current a ban on glyphosate based on the potential dangers it poses the organic consumers association. claims monsanto falsifies its research for profit and berries bad news. monsanto has two point eight billion dollars in sales of their top selling roundup weed killer at stake here so surely monsanto's very nervous about what the e.u. could do at this point monsanto is notorious for paying for scientists to conduct research for it for falsifying data for completely ghostwriting firearms and then hiring fire to put their names on it so we know that monsanto pulls out all the

stops when it comes to falsifying suppressing and until the end flip thing if i am on the subject. sweden is often held up as a beacon of media freedom worldwide i have a growing numbers of disturbing cases are coming out which appear to put that reputation in doubt a u.s. journalist researching the country's scores of so-called no go zones areas with serious public security concerns was ordered to leave by police the mainstream media even branded him a quote threat to democracy in another case a nurse complaining about the terror ting situation of the country's health care system was accused of being under a quote hidden power of influence and we spoke to the editor of conservative news website situation malmo he says the country's media are at the heart of the establishment. still in sweden local media is very.

big newspapers are still very important for the majority of people that immediately sweden has a dark room where new german news are. pushing for a political agenda or maybe germans are doing if you want it to finish her work to swedish media use they are establishment and media and we did it is very powerful we have public broadcast to serve if there is. part of the government systems to people who do not want to or currently with their powerful media as a lot of people just grown living their lives. encrypted criticism reviews to government or used this davus. meanwhile top swedish newspaper express and has been exposing private citizens who criticize the government on the internet they sought help people writing negative comments online to then challenge them face to face however despite their deep controversy and

ethical concern of a publicly shaming private citizens for simply expressing their opinions the daily editors were even on node for their actions start with you or not you really do or did ask. terry and mark something that you wrote and ask why did you and exposing the person who is a shock disperses not a politician explores the spurs that are sure to do terrorists with. the horrible shock that swedish media. did be a very wrong reason. democrats really you don't get exposed people because they have reduced. and earned the program. it's the italian drink that's been a sparkling success in the u.k.

with sales of prosecco freezing to new highs but a growing tide of negative coverage about the beverage threatens to turn things to side at least flat in the latest british dentists warn of a so-called prosecco smile tooth decay caused by the drinks high sugar content italian politicians have told the media to put a cork in it and say their temples the only thing to keep britain smiling after breakfast.

friday worldwide news headlines continue here with.

here's what people have been saying about rejecting. the only show i go out of my way to. really go back to. is the john oliver of r t america's. parents better than. i see anybody would ever heard of. jack the. president of the world bank a. seriously send us an e-mail.

hello and welcome to cross talk we're all things considered i'm peter lavelle in a revealing video c.n.n. has shown as many critics have claimed the network is more interested in the bottom line and a political agenda rather than reporting on real news on this edition of the program we ask of cnn's evidence free war against donald trump is really at the expense of real journalism. cross-talk in the present and future of c.n.n. i'm joined by my guest steve malzberg in new york he is the host of the steve malzberg show on newsmax t.v.

also in new york we have the media personality lionel he is a legal analyst and news decoder at lionel media dot com and in washington we cross to richard goodstein he is a democratic political strategist and former advisor to the president clinton and hillary clinton's presidential campaigns all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want i always appreciate it steve let me go to you first here. c n n's motto is. the most trusted name in news over the last few months last couple of weeks particularly the last few days when you hear that the mantra of what they call themselves how do you reflect upon that go ahead well you know it may very well be true because if you look at the polls nobody trusts news so what zero percent or toward the top percentage of two or three percent the point is there is no journalism in the leftist media there is no journalism in the mainstream media which is the same

thing it's the left this media this from the beginning this russian nonsense has been just that nonsense and c.n.n. and m.s.n. b.c. source spike in their ratings immediately so they're keeping it going when the producer at c.n.n. it myths that on a hidden camera and c.n.n. doesn't dispute any of that video and says we stand by our producer he's not really involved in that kind of coverage and then van jones is on camera. same organization a project veritas things van jones in the street who is on camera two days before this saying this is awful this is terrible and then he says to the guy on camera unbeknown to that he's on camera this is a nothing burger i mean what credibility how do you trust that name ok richard can you reflect upon that because you know c.n.n. hasn't disputed any of these things here and we asked directly a producer at c.n.n. if this is a real story the russia story the russia gate story and and he said it's b.s.

it's simple as that i mean it's it's very transparent ok and if you c.n.n. wants to explain that is diversity when i you know then they needed communications director to communicate their message here richard please go ahead and i'm sure you disagree that's why you're here go you're. you know what's not in dispute peter what's not in dispute according to the seventeen intelligence agencies the united states is that russia interfered with the us elections every single agency every single witness before congress was associated with the intelligence community says there is zero doubt that starting with the latter were putin on down that there was meddling interference dick cheney called it an act of war so that's what there's no doubt about so you know people can talk about it in these terms of oh it's this big nothing it's not a big nothing and you know why he said what stupid thing he said you know you'll

have to ask him again. to basically if you're on your air it's just stupid ok that's the explanation let me go to you line i want to correct the record here we had james clapper say in front of a congressional committee it wasn't seventeen agencies it was three and those three agencies that came out of their assessment meeting their guesstimate cherry pick the people that wrote that report here so let's clear the air ok i suggested everyone go to robert perry. and consorting news dot com and he has a very good explanation of it here finally lionel you've been very patient jump in . the project very ty's video is the zapruder film for c.n.n. . and is dad dad zucker dad predict you will see the ultimate freezing out this is the denouement

the epilogue that carved up and stopped repaving this month stop saying that. there is no evidence of russian tampering no evidence of any russian infiltration there hasn't been yet and fact you had such a beautiful job that bloodied nirpal could go on t.v. right now and actually. had no legs and nobody would believe it ok because you have but your way does this not ok. guys no evidence hang on hang on let me go to steve here you know steve one of the things that i'm most concerned with here i don't care about trump one way or another honestly i don't one thing i do really care a lot about is journalism and i have seen month after month after month we have a harvard study looking at the major networks and their coverage of the president if i can remember correctly c.n.n.

is at ninety three percent interesting leno fox comes in around fifty percent fifty fifty ok when i saw all those those veritas tapes what really bothered me most is the condition of journalism. trump has come and he will go eventually ok but i'm worried about how journalism has been so degre gaited and i think it's doing a huge disservice to the public go ahead steve. well this this is not a new phenomenon though this is driving it home beyond any reasonable doubt be on any the ability of anybody who is serious and an observer just a just a layman observer to say wait a minute this isn't fair this isn't right but this has been going on for years they need years they need years the media bias and i could spend hours with you on a document thing cases after case and you know what the most serious kind of fake news is fake news is is by omission in other words donald trump talks ill of a judge that's not right that's horrible donald trump said this but they don't tell

you that a rock obama at the state of the union lambasted the supreme court to their face bill clinton one said the judge should get another job f.d.r. threatened to change the makeup of the supreme court by not putting things in context that's the worst kind of fake news but the latest on donald trump now is he had the nerve the nerve the gall to call the woman over in the oval office with a gathering of reporters and say you've got a great smile all my god you should i heard the commentators on c.n.n. discuss that does he do that to a man would you kiss a man i asked one of them actually said what he meant i couldn't believe what i was hearing ok generally that's one of the reasons why i like living in russia because there is no political correctness here i can say to a girl anytime anywhere you have a nice smile and i'm going to in trouble richard you've been very patient here do you think that donald trump is held to a different standard than let's say barack obama as president in the media go ahead richard. donald trump is held to

a different standard because he's a different person and by that i mean look at the list in the new york times of the lies let's luxury coat it the lies from day one of the trump administration we have things coming out of the mouth of the president i had states that nobody in their right mind ever ever dreamed he could look straight in somebodies eyes he could look into the camera and say things that are flatly untrue and richard the problem is different what could go differentiate listen peter one thing what differentiates the united states from russia and others is a free press and a court system that is independent and the fact of the matter is donald trump is doing everything in his power i don't even know if he knows it because i think i question his electoral capacity but he's doing everything in his power to degrade a free press and independent system of the judiciary well you know it's horrible but you know going to make me know. exactly what you know what i when i look at all

of this going on for the last eight or nine months it's really intel gate it's really obama gate it's what the deep state what his justice department did it's kind of collusion i mean for me it's all completely upside down because there's actually evidence we have people under oath saying you know he said this she said this we had unmasking of flynn that is an illegal act that's the only thing in the whole mess that actually is going to go ahead really unmasking listen he when you say on masking peter it would have been malfeasance for the head of national security for barack obama not to know who it was that was having that kind of discovered it was what they're calling surely i was really it was he really wanted to relate obv that's illegal go ahead lionel he was doing her job but it was leaked to the media that's illegal that's a felony go ahead lionel go ahead let me let me try to break everybody. back to

back to square one no trump won the election this is the only thing that nobody seems to understand he won the election number one number two your candidate your beloved evil queen hillary clinton lost the election she lost number three the reason why this russian trope this mean was created was to give credence to the fact that again she didn't blow this election with a billion dollar war chest this is a trough this is amy now what also have a does when you have media right now who have ratings that rival that of a baby monitor and all of a sudden there is a spike whether it's rachel maddow whether it's c.n.n. whether you name it whether it's the late night who ever benefits from this they saw it like a moth to a flame they went in that direction but what happens is you've got these pathetic apologists who the only think you can come up with right now after the election is donald trump isn't smart he's a liar look the bottom line is simply this donald trump has no friend he is i mean

he walked and he declared war against an idea is that because i'm going to wait and i'm going to go over you hang out here and hang on michael let me let me go to spread and let me go to see if steve you know it seems to me the media is looking they want him to have a goal they want him impeached and removed so they're looking they're searching for it they're doing it everything upside down ok that's not defending donald trump it's defending the presidency and the constitution and the democratic process that apparently russia is is eroding i mean it's complete fantasy it's they're doing it to themselves go ahead steve. they're absolutely doing it to themselves and the fact of the matter is that you did was anybody know in this country or in this world based on the reporting from c.n.n. and the others that bernie sanders and his wife are under f.b.i. are under investigation criminal investigation there's anybody care about any other story also c.n.n. is twenty four hours donald trump now look this as i said has started their goal

their goal and i predicted this on the air many many times if the democrats take the house donald trump will be impeached and he won't be convicted in the senate it will go the way clinton i had to jump in here guys and that is the ball you have to go to a hard break gentlemen and after a short break we'll continue our discussion on c.n.n. stay with our. welcome to the wonderful world of blood donation i come here every three weeks to get my transfusion to be specific i receive immunoglobulin that my body gets and support is that it cannot produce itself around the world giving blood is seen as a symbol of generosity and does this because it helps people it just says one of the side effects is that it comes this surprise move. to put the money on

your car immediately after you get done half of all plasma based drugs today come from private companies and are produced from paid plans much smaller companies you know a motor car computer what are the risks of a donation. then is proof that the frequency of pathology is much higher in paid donations. sado if i was blind when i. was over two years old he was. in the my. it's a drill and who runs the blood business. the two thousand and eight economic crisis turns some countries into paid. these are the countries with weaker economies that needed austerity policies if you are in a situation of flow bloat even the recession austerity is

welcome back across the uk where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle discussing c.n.n. and the state of the media. richard let's go let's go back to the. secret videoing of the c.n.n. producer. i found it very disturbing that just the bottom line it just to make money i mean we're talking about very important political issues well and political stability in the country the country is greatly divided i think that the media is pushing that edge and making the country even more divided they have a little nisha audience and they placate it and it's very very lucrative but where is the journalism in this and where is the honesty in this because you know we

people in the media are not very popular and i would say it's because of people like c.n.n. go ahead richard. you know peter you steve and lionel can. this notion of whatever it is that everybody in the intelligence community is convinced and says under oath happened which is that the russians through with the leaks through all these bots and millions and millions don't change anything to revere it did it change any so he did it so you know what peter there is a good question so you tell me you are a master of communications if you had a volume of people that were subject to to thousands and thousands of messages hillary clinton's done thing she's mentally ill you think maybe over time that actually is going to move the needle not really say that not relations expert no i don't think so i don't think so we all right now know what i would say rachel you

think they didn't let me finish let me finish because it's really important you know looking and talking to a lot of people that were studying the election at the time and your gave coming to the conclusion that people made up their mind in august that all of this week stuff all of the details were all i mean you know i mean i'm so i don't i'm not saying it is true i'm saying that people are telling me this here it makes a lot more sense to me because like people because it's out and i'll come out i'm not trying to play and i'm not i'm not carrying water for donald trump let's be clear about the it's a pretty let me let me finish let go of the data and the layout of this is. probably the biggest mistake that the hillary clinton campaign made is that forgot about the the flyover states and that's what made the difference in the election here and i think what we see here this invention of russia gate here i mean it is a scandal without evidence there's we have no smoking gun i would submit if i go to line right now if there was something after all these months it would have been

leaked by now because everything else has been leaked go ahead lionel. there is nothing let let let let let me rephrase something the reason why c.n.n. there's a problem let's go back step number one it was when anthony's scare or mood she was involved in a story and c.n.n. went through great pains to to bring this down to strike this and to expurgated from its rolls fearing a suit why because of an eighty five billion dollar merger between time warner and eighty and t. were it not for that nothing would change on c.n.n. nothing this is not about journalism this is not about integrity this is about a deal and who is going to be reviewing this who's administration and justice department is going to review this merger let's see what's his name oh yes trump

that's what is the but journalism. in this country and the mainstream media and i'm going to media it's foreign it's citizen journalism steve in new york jump in. yeah let me give you got another example here you know we had for reed's a car a mainstay on c.n.n. and c.n.n. international called donald trump a b.s. artist but he said the word and he said the word over and over again not just one occasion but on several occasions we have simone sanders who was bernie sanders spokesperson no relation who recently said and she's black we don't need white people running the democratic party and these people are paid by c.n.n. i mean that speaks to what that network. ok we're sure was courtly went out ok so is corey lewandowsky excuse me ok fine fine why did he do that let me stick with you know why what did he do let me stick with richard here i mean the impression is

that you know a lot of people say it off the cuff the clinton news network you know c n n and you know watching the campaign it certainly looked that way i mean this is what's happened with the liberal media they've become the p.r. arm of the democratic party and a lot of people don't like that and they do turn off of course so what i see is we see this growing segregation in the united states and i think the media's driving that to vibe every single night wall to wall coverage on this and a lot of people just getting really turned off by it even people at c.n.n. apparently go ahead richard. so you know this notion about the clinton use network if you added up the dollar value of the time that c.n.n. gave of wall to wall coverage wall to wall coverage of the trump rallies it was astronomical there was nothing there was nothing that they did about hillary that could come close to that value that they kind of affirmed on the campaign

by giving him an expert gaited kind of hour or more with not i would just with this crowd but with the with the american public watching c.n.n. so the notion that somehow or other they're trying to break the or they were trying to bring trump down in favor hillary honestly that's kind of a joke and a lot of how much time do they have but if you take the same thing richard you just said but for our very very different reason line a limit hang on here hang on here what what c n n n m a n b c did is that they put him on hoping well look at this clown look at this which where is that gaffe going to come now and you know c.n.n. and everyone else like him totally it completely boomeranged on them just like the more you do this russia gate stuff the more you can find dirt on the democrats in this election go ahead lionel. what they were doing is they were watching the meter they were doing whatever they had to say and believe me to

a certain extent it's not all of on c.n.n. they told them way to go they watched the mater they didn't watch the truth they didn't watch the duty they owed to people whatever made the meter move and then all of a sudden they went too far and then it became out of control and then finally but let me say that most importantly they killed whatever was left of this russian story because people like chuck schumer and others have said memos out to the d.n.c. say enough of that and by the way these subsidiary other anti trump all left sock puppet media like rachel maddow with others who have devoted their entire share of grabbing to this russian myth their whole careers are now done because of what c.n.n. that so they were in the party for everybody and they got nothing right now nothing we're sitting shivah for c.n.n. this is that that's why this is the day you know ok let me go to close my work so what is the interesting thing since and i may be i have the best perspective

because i'm further away from it than everyone else here is that it seems to me that c.n.n. and other liberal media outlooks. outlets they actually elected donald trump i truly believe that because if you're called a deplorable irredeemable and i looked at a lot of those. i didn't see the ku klux klan i didn't see all the stuff that they always being told what you know what these commentators coming in over over and over again what i saw was kind of middle america and then you know being insulted like that you're you're in redeemable i think that is what was the foam on the scale i think that made the biggest difference all this other stuff we can't leaks russia e-mails it's i think it's fluff i don't think it changed anyone's mind or very few people go ahead steve. well i agree with you and i think i think the media would focus on one rowdy person or what donald trump would say

get him out you know hit him whatever and they say oh my god but hillary did a good job of getting donald trump elected by the basketful that deplorable and ignoring the states the fly over states as you alluded to look at the georgia special election a couple of weeks ago they had a count down of course c.n.n. has a count down for everything and they they couldn't wait couldn't wait couldn't wait and when that election was over there was a screen shot that went around they looked like somebody just passed away not only that the next day there was no action there was no coverage. it never had a long nothing to see move along nothing to see richard where right richard where does the democratic party go it's kind of move away from c.n.n. that just awful programming over there richard but what you know and you what you do you do well and i have a lot of respect for you and i'm always happy when you come on this program what do the democrats have to do what kind of message because i probably will disagree with

me but this russia gate thing isn't getting traction we're listening heard over and over again from congressmen and senators say the people back home they don't want they're not interested in this they want something more that isn't to say you know why don't people though no that isn't just saying richard that isn't to say that every government has a right to protect the integrity of its political system and i think investigation should go on to make sure we do know what happened ok but making it the headline news wall the wall twenty six minutes every single broadcast i think you're alienating alienating the public you're go ahead richard well as far as where the democratic party goes look. the it be reminded that hillary clinton three million more votes than donald trump so so somehow or other despite everything that she did so badly and trumping such a genius candidate he got his he got whipped right he lost by over two percent so times where they go for it and this georgia special and in this georgia in. this georgia special for example tom price the current head of health and human services

had had won that seat six months ago by twenty four points another win by four if we get any kind of movement like that actually in the twenty little be a tad bit of what it's really amazing it's really amazing it's amazing how about a fifty million dollars campaign in hollywood stars and everything you know they poured a lot into it but. yeah it was crazy but you know they shrunk the deficit from twenty four to four. but here's the answer what the democrats need to do is basically keep doing what they've been doing all along would just take your issue you know on taxes stand up for the little guy not the wealthy guy on the environment make sure the people are safe from pollution not. go down let's on education make sure they know that health care richard cation creature you are absolutely right the whole thing you're absolutely right richard you that's exactly what democrats should be doing so maybe you know c.n.n. and your liberal friends in the media they are the ones that are hurting the democratic party right now because they're not getting the new democratic party's message out steve ten seconds before we end the program go ahead yes ok hillary

clinton won the popular vote because donald trump didn't come campaign in california or new york if the popular vote meant anything or did she would have and he would have won and has fought and donald trump won that georgia district by one point the congressional candidate just won she won by five or four so that's perspective ok gentlemen we've run out of time fascinating discussion many thanks to my guests in washington and in new york and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at the see you next time and remember crosstalk. hey.

people gathered in greece to watch the world get people to see what you are doing a choice. to be in full view she was i mean if a legal. challenge was to this she did not think it she something. while the same mission is still in place to one of the consequences to weaken blue bird flu dismantle the i will first one this is the truth the consider this is the consequences are actually quite acceptable to the decision makers. with just manufacture consent to stick to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the financial

merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. room i mean real news for the world. down at once up. on a flimsy off let down one by its nature the finish doesn't go away and the. ones you can only. take in the equal city just. dogs to get the damage and then you're going to bring. a second.
