one. coming up on our t.v. bracing for the worst from tonight's residents are fleeing for higher ground and we have team coverage of evacuations along with the dangers facing the southeastern united states. and donald trump meets with russia's new ambassador to the united states what it all means for relations between washington and moscow. then outside of the virus new research says the virus could be used to fight deadly cancer.

it's friday september eighth five pm in washington d.c. i'm manila chan you're watching our team america we begin today with coverage of hurricane irma as it makes its way toward the u.s. mainland arma weekend on friday morning to a category four but fema warns the damage could still be catastrophic floridians are preparing for the impact of this potentially devastating storm our spanish correspondent nicholas sanchez o'donovan is in boynton beach where the community is taking shelter and prepares for the worst. floridians are preparing as hurricane is tightening her grip on florida there's hundreds of thousands of people the already left the state some of them. flying out of the different airports in florida towards cities up north but most of them hundreds of thousands of them are using the road they can only go north florida is a pennant salute you can't go south you can't go east or west you can only go north

and there's only three major highways that can support that traffic days i ninety five there seventy five and there's the turnpike so as i say hundreds of thousands of people are trying to leave florida going up north towards the carolinas and georgia using these three major highways therefore traffic has been very very heavy during the past hours now it's actually a bit better i drove up here. from miami it was approximately an hour drive and i have to say traffic was fluid that's because most of the people have already left they are already moving towards the carolinas or georgia some of them a stay in central florida and for those that are evacuating their homes but they stay in closer to home they're staying in their towns and their cities well obviously there's hundreds of shelters across florida we heard the mayor of miami

dade say that they could shelter up to one hundred thousand people in the city but we're talking about miami that is a big city even going to have stadiums that are going to be used as shelters but this there's loads of smaller towns the use in public buildings such as schools like the one i have behind me here in boston beach up to two thousand people per night can stay in shelters like this one we have spoken to some of the people that are going. spend the night here and this is what they had to say but this is the safest place probably in boynton for people to come to in just feel like you know stress reliever they don't have to worry about you know the storm again coming here they'll be totally safe here we had decided being in a shelter is going to be. more save than staying home i'm more worried about my life the home i couldn't i mean i could get that back so it's more people life and

you know i don't want nobody to damage to this storm or their life and that was their life through the storm now and so i don't worry about well yeah sixty nine years old i'm seventy years i've lived through it all mr tornadoes well it's a hurricane but i mean i thought you know i'm a doctor but i love what they're doing the way they do it so obviously the people are preparing the authorities are preparing everybody knows hurricane can do in florida we can't forget that they went through andrew that was a massive hurricane back in ninety ninety two they had vilma and then more recently matthew so people know the drill they're responsible some of them even over packin by in mall food that they can eat in a couple of weeks or more water than they can drink or even stacking up with more gas than they actually need that's a big concern and that's one side of it now everybody's looking at the models to

see when and where exactly is going to is going to touch and where is it going to go is it going to get these three basically three models one of them suggests that it's going to go north. on the west coast of florida that would affect areas like naples but it wouldn't affect that much big cities like miami another model is saying the hurricane would just basically cut through the state right in the middle that would be devastated basically for old areas in southern florida. and then the third model the most likely one is that it's going to go north on the east side of the coast that would be devastated areas like miami no detail densely populated areas so everybody's. looking at these models in expectation to see when exactly where exactly is going to hit we do know for sure that the states and most of the the southern point of florida are going to be hit hard by him and

so here there is calm before the storm there is a new sensation a lot of anticipation but these could be the last moments before finally hits miami. and for more on hurricane irma we're being joined now by team coverage right important is live in miami florida where the storm is expected to hit this weekend and alex mileage is there in toronto for us so marina let's start with you more than six hundred sixty thousand residents of miami dade county have been instructed to leave their homes it's the largest evacuation in the county's history residents who have nowhere to go are encouraged to go to an evacuation shelter can you tell us does that include undocumented immigrants. it absolutely does and that is a very important question to ask officials say undocumented immigrants in south florida should seek shelter without fear of deportation in

a briefing in miami dade mayor said identification will not be checked at evacuation centers and anyone who needs shelter in miami should seek it this comes of course after undocumented immigrants in texas reportedly stayed away from public shelters in the aftermath of hurricane harvey for fear they'd be deported a total of forty three shelters in miami dade will be open by tonight with an awful collective space to accommodate one hundred thousand people by this afternoon many shell. ters were at full capacity and turning people away at certain locations hundreds of people were standing on line at evacuation centers even before they opened more than eight thousand fema staff have been deployed to prepare for the agency's chief said no one in florida has experienced a storm with the intensity of erma urging all those in evacuation zones to get out now obviously there's

a lot of evacuation activity taking place in florida over the last twenty four to forty eight hours heat all the warnings the goal is to get out of a storm surge of honorable area that is wind driven coastal storm surge flooding waters coming on shore that's the most devastating hazard associated with hurricanes get out of that storm surge area and get into a facility that can withstand the winds that doesn't mean you have to travel hundreds of miles to do so but get out of the storm surge area into a facility that can withstand the winds. now the trumpet ministration has waived a key statute that will allow for more as many ships as possible to bring fuel into florida that is part of an massive effort to deal with the gas still shortage throughout the state as so many people are trying to fuel up their cars and drive as far north as possible and bring to depending on where irma actually makes landfall in florida officials are warning roughly nine million people could lose

electricity during and perhaps even after the storm meanwhile two nuclear power plants located along the state and land coastline are also a big concern for the residents there how are those facilities being prepared to deal with a cap or maybe even cap five hurricane well the energy department says the nuclear regulatory commission expects turkey point power plant to close on friday evening this evening and st lucie to is shut about twelve hours later depending on the storm's path those are the two power plants you are asking me about both plants are roughly twenty feet above sea level the company's nuclear plants are protected by concrete and reinforced steel but like many plants around the world they were bolstered further after the two thousand and eleven. nuclear disaster in japan but none of florida's nuclear power plants have gone up against a hurricane packing one hundred seventy mile per hour winds florida power and light

the company that operates the plants is confident that all the safety precautions have been taken to secure that no horrific accidents catastrophic accidents will happen as approaches but of course those are those power plants those nuclear power plants remain tremendous concern in this state and after they're shut down f.t.l. says that will not have any effect on the. electricity that they are supply two of floridians but as you mentioned an estimated nine million are expected to lose power during or after month and let's switch over now to alex mohai live issues who's in toronto alex hurricane irma has already left a path of death and destruction since hitting the caribbean what do we know about that damage so far. now look we got a category five hurricane one hundred eighty five mile per hour winds that hit the

first point was barbuda is a small island of one thousand five hundred people a three deaths reported there about one hundred million dollars worth of damage ninety percent of that island destroyed so you can imagine what that looks like it absolute war zone moving away from there up to the same or ten also we have two deaths reported there a lot of damage in that area and then the island of the medical where haiti and the dominican republic are fortunately the most of that island was missed it basically we didn't have a hurricane type of a scenario there where you had the eye of the hurricane hit the island but there is some flooding reported in haiti and we know the conditions in haiti have been dire for years already so every little disaster or every little i should say situation which can lead to some type of changes let's say in the situation to from minor storms to major storms is always hurtful when it comes to haiti moving on up

to cuba cuba right now they are in action moving people evacuating people from the northern part of that island if they assume that or they're expecting to be hit possibly the eye of the hurricane so of course of the situation there right now the unknown but that it might be happening within the next few hours and then this hurricane will move on to the florida keys and you know alex i'm sure a lot of the viewers right now are wondering what canada have to deal with with hurricane arm up but many canadians they vacation or live in the caribbean some of them live in florida how are they fare and what can a doing to help them we have you know tons of torso that are down in that area this time of year and right now they're the airline so the major airlines west jet air canada and other company called trans out they've sent in dozens more planes to the caribbean and into florida basically to get. canadians out that are vacationing there and also canadians that live there so more planes as well as bigger planes so

usually the planes that fly there are not the huge planes obviously we're looking from toronto down to miami it's only a three and a half hour flight now we're looking at bigger planes just so they can get more people now i actually talked to a friend of mine who lives down there amongst many other canadians we know that five hundred thousand properties in florida itself are owned by canadians of almost four million tourists a year which he lives in orlando you say she just a couple of days ago she was trying to get a plane ticket out of there went on line at three thirty in the afternoon four hundred fifty dollars round trip to toronto you know that's usual the usual price not too far off now or i should say three hours later seven thirty the same night that that same ticket went up to twenty seven hundred dollars so you could imagine it just a shot there and afterwards it just disappeared after refreshing a couple of times so that's what's one aspect of it she's doing what many other canadians are doing exactly what americans are doing trying to board up her house and in orlando but they're running out of boards believe it or not the highway is

littered trying to leave the state all hotels in savannah and other parts of georgia are booked up even more to hotels in orlando itself are booked up right now because people are trying to get out of their homes it's a bigger building stronger buildings and we know that there's a lot of hotels obviously in orlando that could withstand a storm like that so canadians obviously there's a lot of them that are down there and they're going to be weathering the storm it's like their american friends are as well well they're going to have to hunker down for a little bit longer because once r.m.i. gets out of the way she's not the only one right behind or there's another one jose is brewing what can you tell us about that yeah jose's over the atlantic right now we're looking at a category four storm which is extremely dangerous about one hundred fifty mile per hour winds and guess what barbuda is in its path and looks like it might be very similar to what irma has done moving through there so barbuda and antigua. the island of barbuda there told me to be one hundred percent evacuated they told want

to go through this again the people that are there the frightening thing is we don't know from where from there where the storm is going to go we are going to follow the same path as if you go to go in a different direction any way you turn it it's another major hurricane that's not something that people in the area want to be hearing all right guys we've got to leave it right there thanks for keeping an eye on what's going on for us in miami stay safe alex my live in toronto thank you both thank you thank you. the latest models predict hurricane will hit georgia early next week r.t. asked residents in savannah georgia how they're preparing to weather the storm we're going to cover some windows make sure that there's nothing in the yards that can be blown around and that's pretty much it based on what we know now not going anywhere. where i live the flood zone is really not all that bad and we have to get hit with a pretty hard hurricane for it to actually flood so stay right where i'm at just

write it out the one that gave you good bye to. be dropped from that to be a week or two away no good a tropical storm if we don't with the worse it in it. too much. more about the multitude as are no holes in the mother coming up to play hard to better understand the origins of hurricanes we're being joined now by the lefty he's the meteorologist with and oh a national weather service southern region headquarters there well thanks for being with us today so can you give us non-science the folks a breakdown of this how are hurricanes of such intensity formed. well this time of the year most of our troubles storms and hurricanes originate in an area called the ever tropical convergence zone which is near the equator this is where in the ocean temperatures warm up the greatest this time of year by the end of summer so this is kind of a normal thing for the earth to do it releases heat energy and helps push that heat

energy up to the poles to help cool the earth now the starting process for all of this is these tropical waves that come up the sun where cern origin of the african continent well south of here or most are here and desert and then this is an area of africa where these waves basically emanate and then move westward into the atlantic ocean where they start picking up additional moisture now they key ingredient for tropical storms and hurricanes in which to develop hitting of water temperatures right around the eighty degree mark and once that is met then you have abundant life true that can arise and then snick solves those clouds then turn into showers and thunderstorms and before you know it you have poles families of showers and storms that arm together to start a depression and then as the storm continues to intensify and grow more showers and thunderstorms then it turns into a hurricane and in some cases they can transform into these large monsters so we

call major hurricanes those are category three or better and can you tell us what the sahara desert has to do with hurricanes what does it have to do with these at all. well bees do not ridgen a near the city here are desert this is the so western portion of the african coast so again it's away from the sahara desert this is an area that typically has. waves of low pressure that work they worry again from east to west from the south western portion of the of the of the african coast and they worked way westward over the warm waters of the intertropical convergence zone which where water temperatures are well above eighty degrees that produces the fertile ground for these storm systems to develop role intensify and release great amount of energy in the form of wind rain lightning and flooding rainfall. now

a little bit of history behind this. i understand it many thousands of years ago the sahara desert was was once wet and green lush land and over the course of several thousands of years the landscape of northern africa kind of moved over from a diverse wet ecosystem to the conditions that where we're seeing today if. such conditions still remained the same as they were would we be seeing the hurricanes that we're seeing now. well that's kind of a difficult question to say but answer but the point here i think we should all take away is that hurricanes and tropical storms are a normal part of the earth's atmosphere trying to find equilibrium it's normal to have hurricanes this time of the year in fact we are reaching our climatic peak time of the year right around september tenth and the busiest time for tropical storms and hurricanes to release this heat energy dense built up throughout the

summertime months from the intertropical convergence zone of the land of the ocean is during the months of september and october so this is normal we've been having hurricanes in this part of the world for hundreds if not thousands of years thousands of years so this is a normal part of the earth trying to now that's a little historical part can you look into your crystal ball for us what can we expect in the future is there anything mankind can do to prevent or stop these types of hurricanes. we may not be able to stop it any kind of a hurricane but what we can do is be smart and prepare and garner and arm ourselves with the knowledge that science provides it's at this time and that our agency the national weather service provides its citizens in the ability to get information well before the storms actually impact in the area preparing for than fifty or their families and they shouldn't put themselves out of harm's way we've been able to provide the american public multiple days of advance notification about this

impending. natural disaster that could occur here in coming days by sort of providing satellite information forecast tracks a reconnaissance information through our hurricane hunter aircraft and sharing this with the rest of the world not only here with our americans but with our caribbean friends throughout the area so it's it's a it's a it's a it's. a testament to man's ability to do sign and your help provide the public information that they can use to safeguard themselves against these natural events ok that from what i'm understanding no stopping them but you can definitely prevent yourself and keep yourself safe thank you so much walt the lackey meteorologist with the n.o.a.a. national weather service southern region headquarter thank you so much while. coming up later on our team could russia's new ambassador to the u.s.

help boost relations between the two nations we'll be right back after the short break stay with us. all the world's a stage and all the news companies merely players but what kind of parties are in t. america playing party america offer much more r t america personally. many ways to use landscape just like you see a real movie big city actors bad actors and in the end you could never hear all. the parking all the world's all the world's all the world's a stage we are definitely a player. people

have got to know whether or not fair presenter supply american people deserve to know the real difference at this point does it make must guard against the military industrial. we shall never know gold. or should know that. we do but. i'm john harshman and i'll give you what the mainstream media can't so big picture . a little and when you question more find what you're looking for this little. dog.

will go deeper investigate and debate all so you can get the big picture. hurricane harvey relief package was overwhelmingly approved by the house today sending a fifteen billion dollar aid bill to the president's death which he just signed moments ago the vote of three hundred sixteen to ninety one replenish depleted emergency accounts here to talk more about how hurricane harvey has shifted politics on capitol hill host of the news with actual help our ed. had these storms politically kind of move the country certainly have been ill or they really really have in this is not going to be a sandy this is not going to be a katrina these americans are evacuating florida and the devastation is in recovery

in texas and these folks are going to know that they're going to get federal help that's a positive thing this is one of the first things we've seen out of washington that the government can work and i don't think there's any doubt the fact that trump gets three hundred seventeen votes in the house and only seventeen senators opposed him in the senate shows that he made the right populist call he was willing to bring the democrats in in do something and combine the effort to make sure that the american citizens were covered look the debt ceiling is going to go up it's going to continue to go up middle class tax cuts are not going to solve our economic problems in this country it's almost ludicrous that we're we've got all these budget deficit problems and they're talking about tax cuts it's ridiculous but in this particular case it was the right move it was the right thing to do and any time a president can get those kinds of numbers in the house in the senate it's just underscores

he did the right thing like you said trump gets three hundred seventeen and house senate he only had seventeen who opposed him what does this mean for both parties moving. who gets the credit here will answer as a trump well the president's going to get the credit a senate minority leader will never get more credit than the president because the president's got the bully pulpit and he's also got the attention the fact is is that it was trump that went to the democrats the democrats didn't come to trump and so trump is going to i think that his ratings is approval ratings are going to go up i think of and he's made comments about how well they're prepared for the storm and the aftermath of it if that's the case then i think we're going to see a lot of people in the country give a little bit more respect to the president that what the mainstream media has been given him no respect since he will went into office so this is functioning the way it's supposed to function you know you can't pick your parents and you sure can't

control the weather you know as a lot of a lot of mainstream or i should say and mainstream conservative republicans are kind of upset with him for reaching across their how mainstream minoa they're completely out of the mainstream and if they want to you know look at paul ryan paul ryan has been wrong on everything he's an idealogue and these ninety republicans voted the way they voted in the house or ideologues they think that letting americans suffer is ok as long as they can take care of their faith and get their are to school house in order but then they're hypocrites by saying well let's give tax cuts it makes no sense and speaking of tax cuts what about that what about health care what about doc as well and right now this whole scenario proves to the democrats that the president's workable that hill move on an issue ok and so they're not going to be able to play the blame game schumer is not going to be able to play the blame game on trump forever because the country has seen him do

a bipartisan move in a populous move for the good of the people the republicans on the other hand even though they just because they have the majority have been sent the men. surge that doesn't mean you're going to get everything you want and this president is willing to take a stand for the people he's not washington he's not government he's a businessman who won and he's shown some common sense and i think the country is going to respond to it you know certainly very interesting shake up on capitol hill this week on what the president's been doing thank you so much for sharing your expertise and insight with us ed schultz host of the news with ed schultz. and mexico is bracing for tsunamis a day after the earthquake of the century ripped through the south of that country at least an eight point one in magnitude the earthquake hit right off the coast. in chiapas killing at least fifty eight people according to mexico's civil defense chief officials fear the devastation is far from over throw watching out for impending tsunamis potentially striking the coast of already hard hit areas the

quake was so powerful that it shook residents a thousand kilometers away from the epicenter in mecca mexico city where the city was left in darkness following the quake. he doesn't. know of yet you could hear the billion dollar lights room. i cry because it scared me a lot to scare me because i've never lived i mean. i've experienced tremors before but never heard the walls creaking lights going out in so many people. authorities said the quake injured at least one hundred twenty and there are a huge likelihood that dozens of possibly deadly aftershocks are to follow. russia's new ambassador to the u.s. at tolly and tone of has met with president donald trump the meeting was to formally recognize and tone of as moscow's representative now here in washington

our gees american has the details. well a much anticipated meeting between russia's recently appointed ambassador to the u.s. and u.s. president donald trump has taken place anatoly antonov as well as other as twelve other ambassadors presented diplomatic credentials to president trump meaning they are now officially recognized as representatives of russian interests antonov predecessor was constantly targeted by the western media portrayed in a negative light over a number of allegations given the controversy surrounding the previous diplomat there are now many speculations around the new figure and as with all u.s. russia meetings this one also attracted media attention especially amid rising diplomatic tensions antonov in particular expressed russia's eagerness to normalize relations with washington russian. relations between the two countries the relations between the united states and russia.

international peace and progress as well as strategic stability according to the diplomat the with the meeting took place in a warm and constructive atmosphere commenting on the meeting the ambassador said that moscow is ready to take concrete steps to improve relations with washington and despite the ongoing diplomatic spat between the countries that saw us russia relations sink to one of the lowest points in history and said he believes the situation is mendable provided there is enough will to cast aside political differences and work together now this is all quite a positive shift from the rhetoric we've been hearing from both sides lately and it seems that improve relations between the two countries seems even more promising considering the new russian ambassador was actually a key member of the team that worked on the two thousand and ten new start bilateral nuclear arms reduction agreement hungary and slovakia have lashed out. at

brussels after the highest court ruled that the countries have to follow a mandatory migrant quotas both nations have tried to challenge the program hungary has taken in zero out of its quota of thirteen hundred refugees poland took a similar stance and slovakia receives around a dozen immigrants out of their quota of more than eight hundred a lecture on european studies told r.t. that the e.u. is putting its own survival at risk by imposing these rules on member states actually the people who are preaching about solidarity in europe. asia and europe are actually undermining the unity of europe by forcing states to do things they don't like they don't want to have which they see as interference in their serenity so i think that in disco use the air pressure

will be put on rebellion states like stone waukesha and others that are zero zero zero seeing the open door policy on illegal migration europe will work like a boomer arm it will undermine european unity and in the end it's a ticking time bomb that might. contribute to the final collapse of the european union. and coming up later on our t.v. drama in the courtroom as the trial for senator bob menendez begins we'll have the details coming right up stick around. there's a real irony going. responsible way to the point where it's always about what the terms of dollars always seem to three. already know to hold still civilities you know you have already what is it and this is that in trying hard to

use the social media site as well i know it's all. it's garbage in real. thought. but politicians do such things. they put themselves on the line. they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express injury. or some want to be rich. to do right to be first that's what the fuck are you people are. interested in the lawyers are. there so. i think the average viewer just after watching a couple of segments understands that we're telling stories that are critics can't

tell and you know why because their advertisers won't let them. in order to create change you have to be honest you have to tell the truth parties able to do that every story is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out there to the american what's happening when a corporation makes a pharmaceutical chills people when a company in the environmental business ends up polluting a river that causes cancer and other illnesses they put all the health risk all the dangers out to the american public those are stories that we tell every week and you know what they're working. corruption trial continues for democratic senator bob menendez and his alleged coconspirator dr solomon meldon as artie's natasha sweet reports it was. the judge

who received quite the reaction from the courtroom well this case has received much attention over the years as is the first time in nearly nine years that a sitting senator has been charged with public corruption but now with day two of the trial it was the comments coming from u.s. district judge william wald that took the courtroom by storm democratic senator bob menendez of new jersey and longtime friend dr salamone milligan are facing eighteen counts of fraud and bribery well it all stems from the lavish private jet rides and high end hotel stays snug and gave him an end as after questionable government favors prosecutors allege the favors include menendez contacting the state department to quote intervene with the dominican government to resolve the dispute in malcolm's favor mendez also allegedly helped mulgan with tourist visas for girlfriends back in court judge was criticized prosecutors for focusing on tabloid details stopping testimony for almost twenty minutes he then reprimanded

prosecutors for their painstaking recounts of e-mails that were used to book a luxury hotel in paris back in two thousand and ten well judge walls cut off the prosecutor after describing him and then says went to paris with a woman friend while said quote you're saying because a person according to you wants to stay in a hotel with another person that he then goes out and solicits a bribe that what you're telling me this and consummate and as his lawyer to interject saying quote this person is actually just a friend and is not anybody to be shacked up with the prosecutor then insisted that he was not suggesting melendez merely went to paris quote in order to shack up with another person an interesting case indeed as that and as his lawyer claims that two men have been friends for twenty five years and these as the friendship are not bribes but the prosecution maintains that friends can commit crimes together and

that friends can bribe each other court will reconvene monday morning in washington it's a sweet artsy. and be sure to tune in this evening at seven thirty pm and ten pm eastern for the debut of the world according to jesse hosted by of course no other than former governor film star pro wrestler a navy seal and now best selling author jesse ventura take a look at a sneak. gov it's been over two years since our last show and now we're here starting the very first episode of this new show kicking it off right here in the nation's capital we're going to be airing every week on r t america on fridays at seven thirty pm and ten pm eastern so we'll also be available on you tube and facebook but most importantly for thirty minutes every week our viewers are going to get to see and hear from you completely unscripted and uncensored so tell us how is this show going to be different from everything else on t.v. well first of all bridgette it's going to be dangerous because if they're hearing

from me people need to know and especially international people who is jesse ventura who is this guy well i'll give you a quick scenario who i am i graduated from minneapolis roosevelt high school i immediately joining the united states navy i served four active two in the reserves and i am a member of the big bad u.d.t. seal community naval special forces i then went on to a fifteen year career in the world of professional wrestling for all you spanish people it's called moocher libra and then i went on from there to become the mayor of the sixth largest city in the state of minnesota brooklyn park beyond bad i served one term i then became the thirty eighth governor of minnesota but the key to jesse ventura's this i am not a democrat i am not a republican i am an independent i don't belong to either one of these gangs i

despise them both equally so when you hear me talk about democrats and republicans you will always know you're getting the truth for me because i owed them nothing in fact bridgette of a fear me they fear if i would come back in that political arena again because i'm too and old boy they've never beat me yet. so that's who jesse ventura is i'm also worldly i'm a one percent. yet explain that to us well a real one percenter doesn't mean you're some rich guy from wall street a real one person or means you are a outlaw biker and jesse ventura also has that on his resume so what i bring forward is worldly experience on the job training but yet i've held office governor and mayor most of these talking heads you run into they've never held political office bridgette they haven't been on both sides i

have i know the democrats and republicans and let me say this i love my country but i believe like thomas jefferson said you have to be vigilant you have to hold your government's feet to the fire to have good government that's what i do i despise high pocker see it on this show bridgette oh we're going to show a lot of hype ocracy because i will make you uncomfortable people i will take you out of your comfort zone you may not like that but you will need it you need to be out of your comfort zone so that you can understand what mainstream media is shoving down your throat today. really gotta love that guy all right coming up later on our. virus being used by deadly form of cancer we'll bring you those details in just a bit stick around stay with us from there. the politicians do you should. put themselves on the line. they did accept the reject.

so if you want to be president. some wanted us. to do it for us this is one. of the people that. i'm interested. about your second passing. i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last wrong turn. you're out to cut up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry. so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got a chance to. i remember when we first met my life turned on each parent. but then my feeling started to change you talked about more like it was again still some more fun to those that didn't like to question are are. there secretly

promised to never. say one does not please and the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this really. speaks to us that we know what to tell. him that mainstream media has met its maker. for decades the american middle class has been railroaded by washington politics i'll make sure you don't get railroaded you'll get the straight talk in the break. i'm going to. washington.

all right now over to some really exciting revelations out of the medical world while the zico virus that you all heard about a couple years ago causing devastating damage to the brains of developing fetuses it may actually one day be an effective treatment for a deadly form of brain cancer artie's trinity chavez has more on that. in life sometimes a negative can be turned into a positive and it appears that may be the case for as big while the harmful virus can cause brain damage in developing babies new research suggests that it may treat a deadly form of brain cancer in adults giving hope to thousands glioblastoma is the most common form of brain cancer it affects about twelve thousand people each year in the u.s. including senator john mccain who announced his diagnosis in july it also is one of the most difficult cancers to treat our goal was to find a way to target these cells to lean kill them and it turns out that these cancers

stem so share properties with the very same cells the targets causing this epidemic the researchers detail exactly what happened when the scientists use the seek of iris to attack cancerous brain cells in mice the researchers found that the virus was able to target and destroy stem cells that drive the growth of a deadly and common type of brain tumor known as glioblastoma we asked the question can we use the natural. iris to target these. difficult target cells cancer stem cells and that's what we tried and it wasn't only surprising that it was extremely effective at finding in those cells always even more surprising is it didn't really touch the other normal cells. they tested the thick of virus on glioblastoma stem cells that had been surgically removed from patients the virus to kill the cancer stem cells which are most resistant to

standard therapies the scientists found that the experiment also worked when they implanted brain tumors in mites the tumors shrunk and the mice lived longer when we looked at the brains of those mice we looked at where there's decompiler if what agents read outside of tumor it stayed within the tumor suggesting it might be a possibly see. there are the next step is to see if the virus could kill human tumour stem cells in mice while making sure the mice survive as well if successful then a clinical trial for humans could be designed which could be in a year and a half although the research is in its early stages if proven successful the virus could save thousands of lives reporting a new york trinity chavez r.t. while the sun has unleashed its largest flare in over a decade and its effects are now being felt here on earth so far the event has triggered a radio blackout in this weekend people living in high latitude regions might

actually see beautiful in the sky artie's bridgie to santos has some of these stunning images from her from nasa rather in her latest report. the sun has produced six sizable flares in the same region since monday the two most recent were captured thursday morning by nasa solar dynamics observatory both players were massive but the second is the largest on record since two thousand and six measuring a whopping nine point three nasa classified as flares according to strength placing the weakest in the eight and the strongest like this one in the us in comparison and the largest player in history is classified as an x. twenty eight. a solar flare is a powerful burst of radiation while harmful rays of can't pass through earth's atmosphere and her humans it can disturb the atmospheric layer the g.p.s. and communication for travel through which is why there was a radio blackout following the event flares relieve the large amounts of energy

into space which send clouds of electrons atoms an eye on this toward earth scientists say sky watchers in high latitude regions can expect a brilliant auroras resulting from these particles as early as today the sun is currently heading toward a low activity period in its natural eleven year cycle which makes these events all the more puzzling to find to in recent weeks we have seen the devastating effects of extreme weather on earth and these abnormal solar flares revealed that extreme weather is also happening in space in los angeles brigitta santos r.t. and before we go don't forget to tune in to larry king now later tonight it's a guest is legendary actor a fellow here's a snippet of what's to come bryce even cares as villains so much you know when it comes down to it i think i play as many good guys and as villains but when i was

young i think the best roles tended to be if you're not conventionally good looking or conventions charming and so those were the juicy roles so i think that's really where i made my reputation for example studio movies industry movies they want you to repeat that success but my experience is i've done all kinds of roles but the other roles tend to be more in the independence realm that's the first thing you look for when you say i'll do this you know something that calls you something the promise for exemption or a promise to learn something or so people are going to important you know you're going to spend time with people they have to be to people that inspire you and. that you share a kind of passion with so i go by the people i go by the proposal of what we're trying to do and really secondarily that the role and the script because the truth is the script can change and the role if i know what it is or it is already before

i do or that's not interesting i like a road that's kind of a mystery to me and calls me and i have to do something to find out what it is also be sure to tune in to contact this saturday the village voice new york city's famed alternative weekly newspaper just announced recently that it ending its print edition chris hedges will be talking. and the decline of print newspapers with two of the voices former writers columnist michael musto and investigative journalist tom robbins. you would work on these stories that. nobody else was following or thought were news and you had to basically have the conviction and i believe that this is a scandal that deserves chasing even though no one else in the major media agrees with me and you keep banging on the door as long as you can and then eventually you break a big story and everybody else is scurrying to catch up you know it's look i have

stone was the great sort of four runner for all that stuff you know shamed a nation into like understanding how the vietnam war started and the voice i think sort of ran at least in its political coverage with the same mission to try to look around corners and be is aggressive in not into it it could be you know to try to figure out what are the stories that need chasing that no one else is looking and this was true michael culturally as well absolutely i was out in the trenches every night seeing aagaard performance are going to nightclubs i was one of very few people covering that stuff i was celebrating fringe characters drag queens people who are now all on their own channels with their own. but the village voice was fairly alone in having done that and like you say part of what we're doing with shaming the mainstream by saying why aren't you covering these people as if they were celebrities like everyone else why aren't you covering these important stories i mean and one of the very important stories that the voice covered you had

certainly a major hand in this was the aids crisis well when i got my column in one thousand nine hundred four it was supposed to be a night life entertainment column but as the aids crisis kept mounting and president reagan wasn't even addressing it now actually i found myself addressing what i was just reagan. and watching the hawks as coming up next right here on our air album tour out and joining us for a quick preview a tie what you got for us today all right on tonight's new watching the hawks we talk of the need for a true third party revolution in the united states with the former national political outreach coordinator for bernie two thousand and sixteen. brought in the ladies of regard to deny join us to preview their this week's new episode of the hit comedy new show and by unleashed on stone talks about the u.s. interests in ukraine with political writer diana johnstone going to be a very rip roaring and exciting episode oh definitely sounds like a bunch of good stuff for tonight thank you so much for that thank you. and that is going to do it for now for more on the stories we just covered go to you tube dot

com forward slash r t america and check out our website r.t. dot com forward slash america follow me on twitter right there at the bottom of your screen at manila chan remember to question more have a great week. all the world's a stage and all the news companies merely players but what kind of parties are anti american playing party america offer much more american personal. many ways to use the landscape just like you really use big city actors. and in the end you could never. park in the world of the world all the world's a stage we are. hey

guys i made a professional ish powerpoint to show you how artsy america fits into the greater media landscape our team is not all laughter all right we are a solid alternative to the bullshit liberal or conservative and as you can see from this bar graph we don't skew the facts either talking head lefties talking head righties oh there you go above it all to look at we're all artsy americans in the spotlight now every really have no idea how to classify as and it actually took me way more time and i care to admit.

full disclosure i voted for obama in two thousand and eight because i wanted meaningful change and that's what he promised he promised to end our country's global aggression among other things and at the time that really resonated with me but then he got into office and instead of deescalating our warring ways he increased them he was our first president to be at war every single day of his eight year presidency in two thousand and sixteen alone he dropped over twenty five thousand bombs imagine that imagine just one bomb being dropped in your city near you and a bunch of buildings are instantly turned into rubble and people die now imagine three bombs going off now imagine that every hour every day for a year now imagine a thousand bombs now imagine if you can twenty five thousand bombs that's how many obama dropped in just his final year alone over the course of his presidency he dropped thousands more and thousand countries he did this after i voted for him

because he said he wanted to make the world a more peaceful place so i kind of expected him to explain to me why he instead chose to drop so many bombs and he's a great speaker and he's really smart really smart so i figured he'd be able to tell me what was going on but instead what i got was a very different response instead i got a president who made selfie videos for buzz feed a president who won on late night t.v. shows all the time cracking jokes starting resumes and doing mike drops a president who kept hanging out with jay z. and beyonce and i don't like them but all i wanted was for him to match his demeanor to the seriousness of the real news. that was going on and tell me what was up but instead all i got was some trendy mainstream brainwashing song and dance routine i was disappointed like a lot of other people were and i personally think that contributed a lot to hillary's loss because she then tried to carry out the same silly song and

dance routine and a lot of people like me are over that and want some more serious answers but it doesn't look like we're going to get that anytime soon from that camp instead we might get a show called bury in joe the animated series featuring cartoon versions of obama and biden the show's creator has a kickstarter for it and he says it's an adult animated so i thought i think a parody of quantum leap and countless other eighty's t.v. classics all for people who intensely miss the duo of buying and obama in other words the culture around obama is still about fame and celebrity and cool trendy left exactly what the world didn't need over the past eight years and definitely not what it needs now.

what you have for breakfast yesterday why would you put those for the fish your wife. now i could give you due to two more. i've got to go just. as you're watching all three of us. here's what people have been saying about rejecting the night with the sixty's full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch you know
