and that's all for this edition of politicking. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. you're out to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry suddenly i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one quite different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its maker.

all the world's dates and all the news companies merely players but what kind of part is already america play marty america offer much more artsy america all personal. in many ways a news landscape is just like the real movie big news good actors bad actors and in the end you could never you're all. so much part can be played all the world's a stage all the world stage all the world's

a stage and we are deaf. greetings and salutations september is finally upon us the kids are back and school university is starting up again the leibniz will soon be turning beautiful colors and here in the united states are lovely elected officials in congress head back to capitol hill to you know look busy talk a lot and ultimately not really do much of anything but one country that is talking a lot lately is north korea they they also appear to be doing quite a bit over the weekend it was confirmed that north korea executed its sixth and most powerful nuclear test to date according to the guardian the underground blast triggered a magnitude six point three earthquake it was more powerful than the bombs dropped

by the u.s. on a road and nagasaki during the second world war yes the ongoing game of threats and missile tests between the united states and north korea continues to escalate with neither side pulling back on the rhetoric or saber rattling but the question that is going to be asked is where where where does all this bravado go what is the endgame for either side what another united states sponsored military executed regime change which would would not come with without a certain amount of irony attached given the u.s. sponsored regime change is exactly what north korea's internal great leader style power structure has been built upon since the one nine hundred fifty s. in the korean war and first student wonder stands the real history of the united states you can't exactly blame them remember it was the united states in the soviet union who split the country into along the thirty eighth parallel remember it was the u.s.

who slaughtered an estimated one fifth of north korea's entire population through carpet bombing during that war which still technically hasn't ended. fear is what has kept kim jong un and his family in power fear is what the us military industrial complex relies on fear is why nuclear weapons even exist and fear will bring us all into world war three unless we start watching the hallmarks. of the. real that is what. lies at the bottom. of the like you know i got. to. deal. with it. well the larger logs liable to roll them to

and i am top of the wallet five world leaders are gathered in sharm and china for the ninth annual bric summit under normal circumstances the international relations conference would heavily focus on economic development but as our teams summoned our zaria reports the focus has shifted to ongoing military tensions in the region the hydrogen bomb test in north korea that rattled neighboring china and russia happened just hours before russian president vladimir putin touched down here in sherman china ahead of the ninth annual bric summit now the nuclear test has somewhat overshadowed the true purpose behind the brics gathering world leaders from brazil russia india china and south africa meet to discuss economic development and bolstering emerging economies still there was always side talks at these summits and putin chinese president xi jinping wasted no time addressing north korea's actions together with other brics leaders they released this statement in the declaration saying we express deep concern over the ongoing

tension and prolonged nuclear issue on the korean peninsula and emphasized that it should only. through peaceful means and direct dialogue of all the parties concerned this is in contrast to actions the u.s. and its allies have taken since the nuclear tests the us south korea and japan are looking to exercise military options while here and reached out to japanese president. urging a diplomatic solution and we spoke with russia's deputy foreign minister here who said that this military pressure has failed in the past very delicate moment. responsibility. part is having said that once again we deplore the illegal. missile technology. missile launches that nuclear device. by north korea as the brick summit wraps up here in.

russia where putin will be meeting with south korean president at the eastern economic forum that's wednesday and thursday north korea is also sending a delegation to the conference no word yet on whether the north and south of talks there as well reporting from china. north korea. over the over the holiday weekend here in the united states where do we go. question on everyone's mind is where. well that's i think it's not a game i think there is no in the game everybody thinks well who is going to fix north korea and who's going to fix this you can't do it through sanctions i think that's ludicrous and to pretend as if you know one country that you're saying to put sanctions on another country. it never does anything just if you if anybody can remember the part of that time when sanctions actually worked and made everything great and human rights improved in a place because they said well you can choose from france please let me know please

read on our facebook page watching the hawks but i don't think about how ben so this is another one where. it's great to get out there and get out swinging or sit around but i don't know that it's actually doing any. you know what's interesting is is. brics conference russian president vladimir putin had told reporters that you know ramping up military has stereo is a worse move to to you know sort of sanctions on one hand or you got you know the hysteria you know hysterics over military and interesting point while he said that and amelle a friendship quote all the the and i all the american press and all c.n.n. and m.s.n. b.c. and fox could talk about all the press was that you know a comment he made about whether or not trump is not a pariah in or husband that was literally all they could they could or that's about when there's actual real world consequences and war could begin and people will die people are already starving and you. like what is also important thing he said well

you know i ride the president. quote it could lead to a global planetary catastrophe and a huge loss of human life there's no other way to solve the north korean nuclear issue save that peaceful dialogue yes this is all you can do is a peaceful dialogue that's really because you know all reports that we get from the inside of north korea is that as i said earlier their whole kind of system of government in this kind of you know great leader style system of government is built on the fear of united states and the you know that's it and you have generations who have grown up in the us where they don't know anything about the outside world that they they know what they've been told that's why we can sit and laugh and it's so fun to just like make a joke out of north korean people only can have very different haircuts hahaha i know these people have been living under this some of them don't you have people who don't even know really what the rest of the world as you're saying like there

is people who you look at a picture of pyramids they have no idea what you're talking but they don't exist as you're talking about a cult of. you know it's very cult like it was in white were horrible horrible things happened we were carpet bombing them and under that can you can understand why a certain amount of seclusion starts to take place and it gets bigger and bigger and bigger when asked about why north koreans are so adamant about holding on to their their weapons that there was an author south korean native suki kim who had taught children in north korean sort of elites so she had this inside view of a place like that and she said there's quote there's literally nothing else they can rely on the fact they're a nuclear power is the only reason anyone will begin. with them at this point it's their survival regime change is what they fear that's what the whole country is built on dehumanizing the people making them pawns of another game and using

all of those people and that fear came to the only person using most people in the united states is now in the game of using the north koreans us pawns in political game and that's a part where you have to just stop you do you do. this weekend a sight no one had heard hide nor hair of china and claimed that they were they were hit by a major denial of service attack within hours of an endorsement by former candidate for president hillary rodham clinton who tweeted quote i'm excited to sign up for a verite media platform for the sixty five point eight million will you join up and something to what what is very well according to them there it collects and contractual as is noteworthy fact stats and quotes for politically engage seditions each there it is the verified item of information marked with a seven digit identification code who exactly are these sixty five point eight million that would be the people who voted for hillary in a general election and

a reference to her winning the popular vote and making sure the rest of voters who didn't get in line and back hillary know exactly how much they mean. queen region of the d.n.c. you only need to see the kinds of facts verite is going to be preaching to their own choir within a day of launch a big can textual eyes the facts of the election for us saying quote so under islam the mainstream media helped put trump in the white house this isn't a news site or an independent fact checker this isn't marketing for hillary clinton and her book it's more excuses and pats on the back for a democratic party that failed its members its donors and every voter in the united states by refusing to accept it's own complete lack of self-awareness you know it's fascinating one of the big accusations of the you know probably is you don't really disagree with but one of the big accusations that's a kind of leveled at like trump in the republican ideology of the republican side

of the country is that they only you know live and breathe their own news cycle you know there's that was all probably north korea only not so much news and you only live in your little town and you only listen to certain thing right and so this is going to only the only thing that you get now i see the democrat side always the liberal side of things going the exact same thing we're going to create our own site with our own or our own statistics and we're going to verify them so now you know it's true for our way of thinking right i mean that's basically just. selling yourself. that's creating and selling yourself your own right and this is what happens i think what you see it is a lot of people that have been within the clinton dynasty and it's called for so long one of the bigger problems i see is that you have people who have failed to get something done failed to do their job very well who suddenly come out of the clinton dynasty like well i'm really great she lost twice and i'll tell you what's

funny about this is peter dowd the c.e.o. of verite actually served as the internet director for hillary clinton during her two thousand and eight campaign. a campaign by the same one which obama's internet was miles ahead of her and credited pretty much for one m. election and adding twenty or thirty million dollars thirty million people to the voter rolls it is in fame that this guy is out there trying to make a buck off this really really. what's crazy is when you break down like the policies of the site when you really didn't know that her claims that they're fact checking and can touch lising whatever that means but there are a couple of major problems with that. number one is that there is nothing radical or innovative about their system they post you know they post basically quote an image formats that you can. put on your page and there was verification number and you know and it's from sources that they trust their sources that they choose to

deem like ok this is a legitimate source or anything about following mainstream news media is that it's next to impossible to find like you know three newspapers or three internet sites that all tell the same story and they don't think. that it's crazy and they don't date their post still date like they're you know like the tweet was that they're referencing the references but they don't bait the room post of listener putting it's absolutely ridiculous it's crazy and the this is the thing with this that i find there's two little things i just want to say is one of the verge actually called i think put it in perspective really well you said the site is the blue maga hat of web site and it's no different than you know any of the bright parts or whatever one of the things i thought was interesting is that peter dow has been going on this tweet started ever since it happened just calling about the haters spectators they're coming for us this was all about hillary supporters they were just being marginalized they were marginalized yeah ok they don't ever see oh yeah

it was the thing the one thing is that it hasn't been reading frenzy over very it's . launches proof why it needs to exist but remember this is all in caps so we should be yelling it there is no thanks to what we in the beauty of but. there is no science for the media for hillary voters none at all. no one loves hillary in the media all right go to break or courtrooms don't forget to let us know what you think of the properties of the copper has been covered on facebook and twitter still full shows at r t dot com and we are excited to announce that you can now watch watching the hawks and all of your favorite r t america shows on direct t.v. channel three two one coming up we present the second half of our interview with writer and poet adele then artie's through the chavez brings us a tale of two hurricanes so stay tuned to watch.

all the features we don't know. every the world should experience. and you'll get it on the old with. the old according to just. what the modern world come along for the ride. so. without a doubt poverty and a collector social ills that cross cultural borders and hit know how it hard no

matter what your race or creed and yet diverse pockets of society face starkly different realities when it comes to dealing with hardship could want to fidel is an author a poet a community activist who knows firsthand the tough reality of life in inner city baltimore earlier he joined our show to discuss the nuances of class and race in his community as well as how his work seeks to inspire young adults by showing them the beauty in the struggle. like my friend the list because he was a ph it was a majority white school and. his white is white he was basically getting upset because we was always talking about you know the conversation was based around like blackness and he was like you know like my family grew up poor too you know and my family poor right now you know and we time them right you know we get that you get i'm sorry and we send everybody this is a drug and i'm not trying to negate and then valencia said that you know white porn

is is not sexy enough for the world it's not sexy enough for the media so that's why you don't get you know right shadow issues. you're going to see and i care about anybody that's suffering from oppression any group of people which is complex and there is. no reason why your story isn't getting the coverage like how black people stories because she just said it is not sexy enough you know for the media for the world to look at you again i'm saying. earlier you know white people can complain all i was playing all they want but there's still a level of respect but you're going to get in at least the united states that a person of color is not going to get if they're coming out of a similar situation or even if they're coming from a rich background and still not go get that level of understand earlier you know as an educator you see first hand how police violence racism you know the election system politics the media all of this is negatively impacted. young people

across this country you know living in poverty what should we be doing to mitigate the trauma on emotional a the we're seeing caused by this system that we live under while still fighting to dismantle it how do we balance those two things. like i always say it's not one. but i believe. skills that you have like you know what i've got to hear where you are right today ya know we got so ya know they can get someone else they're right so we need to take our skills and pass them on to the youth i don't just say you know if somebody come to you like. i have it in him in days i'm starving you say you know just wait on god you know he got you like this just keep printing. where

you've got a whole pantry full of food that's criminal you get i'm saying give them food right if somebody said that they want to get you they want to get in the media you're going to try to find if you can do it then direct them to someone like me and you know we do our thing through literacy we get kids excited about it's teachers that come out time to say you our kids have to read anything all year they just didn't want to but we you know show them your work and they love it you know they still copies of the book from school and i do this shows that my book need to be a requirement because they are still in the crucible you know going to mean it is based on the past the limit. and we have friends that want to be best friends his name is tom he's a personal trainer he get paid. several days a week he does free work out for the people and maybe who can afford it you going to. you know he's one of the people who he collected cameras that he give to you for get organised and get those cameras and give them to you you get a sense of us. that they don't have to spin or entrepreneur you know ship journey

so take your skills and just pass them on sort of you get how you know one aspect you know in other ways. because it's one thing you can give someone a loaf of bread you could give someone you know for work or better better for you can give someone a fish if you're starving but it's actually more helpful to teach them how to fish for them. i have become a very large you can share and give all you want but it is better also themself to everybody here so you can get your old you know about it it's really important. what is the beauty and the struggle that keeps. you focused on. because you can write there is there is something about it when you don't grow up with things handed to you when things are perfect i find that those of us who have gone through whatever we've gone through that that struggle whatever it is brings us together what's the beauty of this trouble free. it's the people it's the

people you know absent i know people who friends get murder you know on a scene people saddam others overdose at a scene. all of these things you get. into all of this you know people still found time to smile and laugh and have fun. best the type of energy that i need to be around you get i'm saying people would have been through they've been suffering since they'd been five years old. and they still find a smile and still find time to lead again i'm saying when somebody else probably would have been blew their brains out by now so it's the people going to sam even being around my family members that they crazy. but it's all a genuine love you know you don't have to worry about them going behind your back or them having a secret motive because they love little conny not. going to say i don't care about

the newspaper features that you know excited about it but don't care about none of it like my father told me yes and he was like. you going to ask. you know if you aspire in a nation of people or not you're going to. genuine and that's what i want to be around i don't want to go to l.a. and i got it you know look over my shoulder every foreign minister see who really for me not you not want to be. you know one day i hope that. we can make baltimore like one of those big cities you know because there's a lot of local celebrities and bottom line people get excited when they see students get excited when they see me as a rapper name young moves around him scola they get excited when they see the when they see them and you get them saying what if we can just stay here and not just go . anywhere else across the country we could stay here and we can be celebrities here and we can give back here and we can just travel and do work places but keep all of the love and energy here beautiful beautiful thank you so much for coming on the radar having me always of course over. the devastation

wrought by hurricane harvey on houston is still all too real for many texans families and already another hurricane may be headed for the united states this time it's hurricane arma gaining power over the western atlantic as a barrels full speed ahead at southern florida and cuba according to hurricane watchers or may be the most devastating storm to hit florida since the infamous hurricane andrew of one thousand nine hundred ninety two residents on the ground are preparing even as their fellow victims in texas are coming back home to find them a destructuring me shocking reality when it comes to insurance coverage for more of these stories artie's. reports. is being called a catastrophic hurricane it has now intensified into a category five hurricane with maximum winds to one hundred eighty miles per hour it's already the strongest hurricane ever to be recorded outside of the caribbean

will impact the continental u.s. states of emergencies have already been declared in puerto rico the u.s. virgin islands and all of florida but while hurricane harvey have moved on from texas the aftermath will still be felt for months to come officials confirmed at least sixty three deaths now more than a hundred thousand homes have been destroyed many have lost absolutely everything somehow her turn to their home to find all of their belongings destroyed by the storm and since most of the homes affected by harvey do not have flood insurance residents are absolutely devastated total devastation. it was it was like. it was like a nightmare here. today is the first time i've really broken. and i feel like i need this i need to talk to. i need to get it out. because we're strong we're going to make it we're going to pull up our big girl panties and move

on. we have no insurance. none. flood insurance was just too expensive homeowners is not going to cover anything but maybe sewage back up which we had according to a few mother are approximately four hundred thirty thousand claims for fema aid and nearly fifty four thousand people are. currently staying in government funded hotel rooms the president has also asked for an additional seven point nine billion dollars to add to the fema fund to help victims recover reporting in new york trinity chavez r.t. . and now some good news out of something that was dark this week a virus that scourge of central america the left expecting mothers in terror and struck hard at the tourism industry life but of the region seekers defining feature was its ability to jump from the bloodstream into the brain attacking brain stem cells like almost no other microbe can usually that has meant babies arriving into
