if you don't. mind. donald trump bashes iran syria and north korea in his first speech at the u.n. general assembly but its overall tone sounds remarkably similar to the speeches of his predecessors. in america we do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone i do not think that america can or should impose our system of government. as catalonia i just close with an official independence vote government tries to stifle dissent seizing more than a million pieces of referendum material and summoning thirty seven local. plus.

i'm asking you do you want to change section to thirty. and the u.s. senate holds a hearing on a bill to root out online sex trafficking but some technology companies are opposed to all giving they shouldn't be liable for users content. international live from moscow studio with me in a day or two to welcome to the program donald trump has delivered his first address to the u.n. general assembly however much of his rhetoric seems remarkably reminiscent of what his predecessors used to say on your correspondent kind of open looks at some of the new president's rather old remarks. opened up his debut in the green marble

hall of the united nations with some of his signature rhetoric which many people argue got him elected as president of the united states i will always put america first but from putting national interests first this speech quickly moved to a globalist agenda with a list of condemnations of other governments rogue regimes represented in this body not only support terrorists but threaten other nations and their own people with the most destructive weapons known to humanity trump lashed out at the syrian government reiterating claims that damascus has used chemical weapons the actions of the criminal regime of bashar al assad including the use of chemical weapons against his own citizens even innocent children shock the conscience of every decent person trying to threaten to destroy north korea right prompting

a walkout from the country's ambassador the united states has great strength and patients but if it is forced to defend itself or its our lives we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea and then trump lashed out at iran branding the country a rogue state it is time for the entire world to join us in demanding a veterans government and its pursuit of death and destruction donald trump's speech ended up being a sort of call for countries around the world to confront those who quote threaten us with chaos turmoil and terror namely three countries iran syria north korea two of which were named as the axis of evil by previous us president george w. bush but we know their true nature. north korea is a regime arming with missiles and weapons of mass destruction. while starving its citizens. iran aggressively pursue these weapons and exports terror while an

unelected few repressed the iranian people's hope for freedom so much for trial selection promises offering a new approach to world politics focusing on america's national interests and not being the policeman of the world cable mop and artsy new york. until it's w. bush is not the any president whose rhetoric was similar to terms at times and the president even sound like his party opponent. barack obama in america we do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone i do not think that america can or should impose our system of government on other couples. in remote corners of the world citizens are demanding respect for the dignity of all people a future of dignity and peace for the people of this wonderful earth. we will fight together we must work together sacrifice together i believe we must do better to get up and stand together for peace all of us can be

coworkers with god the almighty god who made us all. as our correspondent mentioned earlier trump lashed out at north korea syria and iran in his address to iran's foreign minister has already reacted branding trump's remarks shameless and ignorant despite iran's compliance with the nuclear nonproliferation deal signed in twenty fifteen washington has been escalating tensions with the country the trumpet ministration views the deal as unfair and in july and hands new sanctions against iran just a week later congress passed a bill to impose fresh sanctions against the country washington's ally president micron of france has nonetheless defended the deal from the same podium where trump lashed out at iran. i would like to defend the nuclear agreement with iran

are you gauge went on nonproliferation allowed us to work out on the fourteenth of july two thousand and fifteen a solid robust and verifiable agreement that enables us to ensure that iran does not obtain nuclear weapons renouncing it would be a great era this could apply to north korea to immediately dialogue control and multilateralism these are the efficient weapons this is the only way forward. a us secretary of state rex tillerson said washington needs its european allies to make the case to iran that the deal has to be quote revisited this is how iranians have reacted to trans latest harsh remarks about their country well you know the un says iran is complying with the green light all european countries and russia see this saying the only country that claims otherwise is the us our people need to stand together giving in to america would achieve nothing it would make matters worse than they are now. we are not afraid and we have never been since the beginning.

we have been under sanctions for four decades and the people of iran are certainly not afraid now in fact sanctions have made iran more independent in many fields. we discussed the potential consequences of washington's pressure on iran with former cia officer jack rice as well as toronto based political analysts. unfortunately we have to realize that it's the p five plus one everybody agreed not just the brits and the french the russians the chinese the americans if we pull out of this it's the entire world who will be looking at the united states i agree that there are limitations and problems in fact you could expand upon this and it needs to be but to walk away from this deal in itself would be a huge error at this point iran has many components of power including its nuclear industry missile power and regional prisons and military clout and influence in the region what they mean in washington is to wear off these components of power once they do so iran would be

a very easy target like iraq at the time of saddam hussein and that would mean. fundamental violation of the nuclear deal and iranian officials including the rainy and supreme leader they have all warned that iran would give them a very tough response in another development the top diplomats of russia and u.s. also met in new york to discuss global conflicts an ongoing dispute between the two countries following the meeting russian foreign minister sergey lavrov commented on the state of bilateral relations and who he thinks prompted the tit for tat actions . very long was a. good response to. the relations very difficult and very low point. which is the legacy of the obama administration . serious people responsible people. is

back to the program technology companies are criticizing a u.s. bill designed to tackle online sex trafficking if approved it would allow legal action against platforms and services that host illicit content tech firms warn it's a step towards undermining free speech online but critics point out the corporations seem to have no such concerns when it comes to deleting fake news and hate speech samir khan explains silicon valley and congress are now clashing over the issue of online human trafficking u.s. lawmakers have proposed a new bill that would make websites liable for prosecution if they fail to combat the problem internet giants such as google facebook and twitter have opposed the bill saying it would undermine free speech the bill also jeopardizes bedrock principles of

a free nope an internet with serious you can make and speech implications well beyond its intended school the mother of a deceased victim of human trafficking sees this issue quite differently my name is yvonne ambrose. mother of the late. i'm asking you but you want the senate to change section two thirty and support the bipartisan legislation to stop enabling sex traffickers act not only for my baby but for the protection of yours and others yvonne ambrose says her sixteen year old daughter was killed after she was advertised for sex on back page an online classified ad service ambrose wants to hold the website responsible but back page denies this saying they did not advertise her child for years however the company has been accused of allowing its users to post classified ads of prostitutes some even under age according to the national center for missing and exploited children

the majority of its child sex trafficking cases involve as on back page so why not just close the site well under u.s. law internet providers are not liable for user content no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speak of any information provided by another information content provider now tech giants don't want to change the law and don't want to take responsibility either but when it comes to limiting speech however they are more than ready to take responsibility our system relies on people in the community being able to reach out and tell us what they think is offensive and then we stuff teams of people hundreds of people around the world to be able to go look into those claims and follow the guidelines to take down the content. that we are still is hate speech air cordons of those policies last year facebook twitter microsoft and you tube announced a code of conduct pledging to remove online hate speech within twenty four hours google and facebook launched a fact checking algorithm that labels news as fake if it fails to pass an

independent audit and in august you to be candy monetizing videos that they deem extremist it seems as if these i.t. giants have no problem restricting user content themselves but quickly draw a line when the government tries to do so now is this a picket. choose approach or are tech giants correct in trying to prevent government censorship even if they're guilty of censoring content themselves samir khan r. t. washington d.c. . tech giants claim the broad language of the bill would make it counterproductive and lead to the suppression of free speech but political satirist horovitz believes that fear is appealing motivated concerns about profits there's a group think among all these high tech companies and there are certain political ideologies mainstream ideologies which which are for been almost sometimes on their web site and they're trying to make sure that their political perspective is the

one that's dominant on their platforms and that other ideologies other ideas other thoughts are really trying to be shunted to the side and it's quite scary what that means to our democracy this is all about liability this is all about being protected from lawsuits these big i.t. companies don't want so old creepy guy name ronnie you know going about his dirty business and them being sued because of it because the post something on facebook or you tube would have you but this whole argument is all about money and avoid being sued so that's really what at the heart of this issue here. two hundred and seventeen people are confirmed dead after a massive earthquake hit central misc mexico the epicenter of the seven point one quake was in the state of puebla some eighty miles southeast of mexico city trying to try to do some distance away from the epicenter twenty children died in the capital when a primary school collapsed survivors and emergency workers are joining forces to try and save people trapped and rubble.

i'm after it and say we're going underground as drazen may speaks in the u.n. twenty four hours after u.s. president all trump threaten north korea iran russia and china and as another hurricane warmed by climate change threatens the western hemisphere coming up on the show how can you counter terrorism if no one listens we speak

a lot heris the man commissioned to assess london's preparedness for a general jack about why his warnings last year weren't heeded by the u.k. government and twenty four hours after the met police service was briefed on the criminal investigation into granville tower we asked the chair of the u.k. is all party parliamentary group safety of government negligence led to the deaths of over eighty people at the grenfell tower in england's capital city bus from the headlines mass migration from the mind and lies damn lies and boris johnson in britain dollars and more coming up in days going underground but first just before donald trump came to the podium to deliver his address to the un general assembly in the past twenty four hours he had to cope with a c.n.n. exclusive that the chair of his election campaign and defacto himself was being wiretapped by the u.s. government before his election that's a wiretap from u.s. authorities proven by documents known to a senior iranian revolutionary guard corps commander to be collaborators with

islamists in syria. in the future we may be able to get permission from authorities to release documents that will further disgrace the americans as the papers reveal what they did in iraq and syria but unlike tereza may end his own u.n. ambassador nikki haley it appears that donald trump could well have been shocked by the obama record of supporting isis now qaeda linked groups in syria. somewhere there may even be documents proving u.k. collusion with forces implicated in last week's attempted underground train bombing in west london trump has reported because the bomber of funding for cia backed islam islam in syria and sure enough as nato countries have done the same maybe six hundred thousand have returned to their homes in syria no longer in fear of the white helmets and others people are going back to areas largely in the country such as alleged holmes damascus where there is broadly speaking it less within the

context that syria is broadly been a deescalation in violence so what was it all for and why does mainstream media in nato countries not care to cover syria now that their sponsors no longer arguably back empire imperialism and terrorism they're still trump has a long way to go before he gives a speech like this yes we express hope from the outset that countries will be added to the group of nonaligned countries that struggle against imperialism colonialism and neo colonialism in some cases it is blindness provoked by the hatred of all revolution against our revolution but other world classes of blacks in american countries and others and he's a son of a more deplorable it is the product of the doesn't glitz of mammon che guevara at the un they're using the word deplorable but in a different context to those report donald trump would never get to give a speech at the united nations incidentally we hope to be speaking next week to the brother of che guevara fifty years since his cia assassination as for decades of

alleged u.s. terrorism against cuba it's washington suggesting that there's been an attack on its personnel in havana but for britain terrorism is something else not so much the eighteen killed in iraq which the u.k. invaded in twenty or three more the attempted bomb attack on the london underground on friday which thankfully killed no one joining me now is a member of the u.k. . committee on national security strategy he was commissioned by the mayor of london durable and counter-terror preparedness in the british capital or derby harris thanks so much for coming on the show so you were commissioned by the mayor of london city and just remind us of some of the hundred twenty seven recommendations your report made very clear i propose for example more barriers physical barriers on roads and bridges where there were likely to be large numbers of people i recommended more c.c.t.v. on trains and in stations and the better integration of that c.c.t.v. coverage into police control rooms he said no barriers in this studio is very close

to the westminster attacks the bridge attacks of course occurred after your report was published the barriers went up within days of the attacks your report was an october twenty sixth. the the terror attack was always in june this year unfortunately it needed some appalling incident like the westminster bridge attack and then the london bridge attack for people to block those bureaucratic barriers that's one of the reasons why this is something where you can't just sit back you've got to keep on the case so you were so clear about this i mean you and the people that helped you write this report was a bit outraged that the government could see clearly that your recommendation was correct when it came to preventing say the kinds of attacks we saw on westminster bridge and in london bridge because it was frustrating i mean one of things i'm hoping is that the fact that those recommendations have been proved to be so to be a legal case for the relatives will say well then the other things i've recommended

they should get on with and move on i do know a lot of work is going on on the recommendations i get frustrated perhaps it's because i'm no longer right at the center as well as to how long some of these things take but they always take just a couple of days because that's all only too well i suspect that they were closer to agreements than we might have realized because what they had magically been done and your point. it's quite right because it was then done ok we are very clear in the reports that after going through so many different technological. ideas of how we can keep going to save you say seeming to save some need jerk a term to try to increase the number of bodies with guns is not going to be the answer but theresa may. immediately after the attempted attack in west london on the underground said we would have soldiers on the on the streets of london with a cross soldiers right there on the streets what they're doing is they're back

filling the role of existing armed officers so the people guarding the palace of westminster or roll palaces or some of the diplomatic protection roles of the police carry on those jobs some of those jobs are being replaced by soldiers which means that the existing on what is whether we have the police to do that well obviously it's a question of using the resources in the most efficient way i'm certainly not saying that the current level of policing resources can be reduced any further what i am saying is that you don't make people. much safer by simply having more police on the street all the time ok but then when you are writing this report if we think back to the context of a report written in october last year. twenty thousand police officers being cut that's across the country the number of police officers that have been cut in the worse much less but of course some cuts are in the pipeline those cuts will go

ahead and the metro police will be able to maintain their existing presence on the street there's no correlation between cuts in london police and the need for the army to be on the streets of london well the reason they are merely well the reason the army are there is because the threat state had moved from. severe up to critical when it's critical that means additional measures are taken over and above what they are in what i suppose we've got to consider as normal. times that means extra police patrolling at that time we had the head of the police federation or near saying the cuts were dangerous and in fact we had him on here saying that there's a danger that the police would not be able to react effectively to it i think that i think there are several levels of this the first is that preventing terrorism in the. broadest sense means having a proper understanding proper connection with all of your communities one of the things that's happened in the last few years and this is a real cot has been the reduction in the number of neighborhood police officers those are the officers who are in direct touch with local communities now that's

a retrograde step it hasn't happened as much in london as it has happened outside but of course terrorists are mobile they can come in from luton they can come in from the north of england or of course they can carry out terrorist attacks in manchester is illegal rewarded our prime minister base in london needs more resources was running the borough minister probably want to hear another i'm sure the problem is that didn't want to hear that but what it reflects is that there are cuts simple leasing and cuts in the police budget in the pipeline and my concern would be and it's clearly the concern of the american under that if those cuts were to go through that really would cause serious weaknesses in our ability to deal not only with terrorist incidents but also with day to day crime and other problems in the capital british media and wall to wall coverage by this attempt to in west london to resume the sit down interview on american television and immediately started to talk about the terror measures in the context of. the internet. is that one of the major counter-terror measures we can do to talk to facebook well i think

it's important to talk to facebook to think to talk to social media to recognize the way in which terrorist ideology but also terrorist methodology is spread on the internet but the prime thing is to make sure you're keeping tabs on the individuals who may might be tempted down the route of armed extremism to intervene at a much earlier stage and that does require resources and resource recourses sources in policing resources in intelligence and it may also require resources within communities to support those who are perhaps a strapping explosives on yourself or attacking people with knives is not an option and it's certainly not something which is part of the teaching of it's about racism a name check facebook obviously others are available she also was a city girl and was visiting criticizing her she was implicitly only directly criticizing the president united states because donald trump of course immediately said or seemed to say that the suspect involved in west london was known to scotland yard why is it every time actual the suspects in all these attacks are

known to the authorities because they are using that kind of intelligence but often what you find is that yes they come to the attention of the authorities at some time and we've all come to the authorities in one way or another. i did about your product but i mean people come to the authorities they may be on the second third fourth outer ring or somebody whom they're interested in now after the event people are wonderful at looking back it's why didn't you do this the reality is that simply not possible it's simply not possible to keep track to monitor the movements of seven hundred people or seven thousand people whatever number of people who criticize this because it's massive aliens and all they've done is increase the size of the haystack to make it harder to find the needle well that's the risk that if you spread it out too thin you can't find anything i mean i suppose what you said earlier about community policing and the idea of law enforcement as part of a community people have been saying this. everything for years what if they couldn't even put up the temporary barriers to report when is this type of much

more profound level of counter-terror measure when. well what i hope is that the response to my report mez office said they wanted to publish a progress report i think about a year after the report was initially published without being my space next month but it's important that i'm sure a lot of the seventy will do this if nobody else keeps track on what is actually being dubbed the progress which has been made i think the are going to. be talks to if they wish if they wish to talk to me you said in the report as regards threats rises in london this adds significant levels of complexity to the intelligence picture. britain has been overtly supporting groups allied to al qaeda and isis in syria that's the job was very quick to cancel the funding of the cia program that was allied to those islamists. do you think of charges that this

is blowback for britain's foreign policy well i think these attacks would be happening whether there was the blowback from foreign policy or not there's no question even if this turns out to be syrian well the individually others have been libyans maybe of syria and we don't know whether they were the people were under direction or simply inspired by what they read there's an interesting correlation certainly which has been observed elsewhere in the world between people's mental health states and those that get lured into this particular type of activity i think we need a lot more understanding of what an individual into being a member of society perhaps a disaffected member society but somebody was then so disaffected five attacks in the first few months well i'm sure that's been horrible of see you have to recognise that. as the area of dying has crumbled more people have returned some of those have returned to this country and perhaps some of those have slipped through the net and not be monitored probably. thank you. after the break. does the bell toll for tourism a ahead of the u.k.

prime minister blueprint speech in italy this week we are going to have a breakfast here day with a miss of the silencing of british landmarks big brand is emblematic of a lack of spending on u.k. infrastructure i'm from headline news joins us to find out about starving millions a brawl on the missing millions home. to a going underground. league

. in case you're new to the game this is how it works the economy is built around corporate corporations from washington to washington controls the media the media the. voters elected to businessman to run this country business equals power you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. the one word that describes american politics today. and even. to make things worse there are some of the same dividing lines within the major political parties can these breaches the mend.

about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself in taking your last wrong turn. 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 off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each pair. but then my feeling started to change you talked about more like it was a case still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and the promised to never be like it's one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with this one. is there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker.

welcome back if there's one thing that arguably separate u.k. prime minister through ray's m a m president donald trump it's trump school the keynesian infrastructure investment maybe they'll be chatting today about it when they meet in new york because you think rational sterett he have led to tragic symbols of under-investment in britain from grunfeld tower in the poorest part of one of the richest areas on earth to the big ben clock tower that under theresa may be said to be silent for years we caught up with conservative m.p. and chair of the u.k.'s all party parliamentary group on fire safety david amos in the shadow of big ben to ask him about clocks rex it and what could have saved the lives of eighty people in london this summer david amos thanks for coming here on their dream give i've just started a voice go into more serious matters arguably what's wrong with the clock when it is a serious matter as far as i'm concerned it's a most iconic clock in the world on the member of the administration. committee

where we were overseeing the restoration of parliament and wouldn't for two years yeah it seems as if they chose the general election when we were away from this building for two months to make a move on big ben i don't know why the announcer during the recent yeah i mean we did not agree to big bang in silence when it was. four years is it four years it's going to be a lot of years before we can start allowing people to climb to the top of the graded words here actually being call into the drivers of a british infrastructural spending program his will say is emblematic. in this way and i would say to them get a lawyer see any of these flags just behind any danger i mean that brick city has people who voted for european union any dangers they should fear for secret rollback to remaining drazen may of course was. i think it. in

a totally true way and i actually think that the go it's going well. and all the main. participants in the negotiations. david davis liam fox wanted to out the ministers have given categoric a shore says we are leaving the european union and we're not going to have one leg in. it now i know you're on the record for saying i think you said on this program after that in the immediate aftermath of the grenfell catastrophe in west london you said mustn't politicize it what faith do you have in this inquiry that. a. committee that i had the privilege to chair we we've now had a very good meeting with the ken noise who's leading up the advisory committee and he gave us some analysis of how they did. same with the actual issue of clarity but

as far as i'm concerned we. feel strong on it we're not going to stop until. spring is off it's suspect to play in tower blocks and the onus must go back to the local forces and housing associations and it's crazy that any new school is built without having the sprinklers save lives now cannot gave us an added explanation he was talking about spray elements he doesn't talk about sprint cars per se all sorts of which building to the overall effort to keep people safe in their houses we're going to look at that very closely because fast but that's is. not going to change our views we do think it should be fitted retrospective leigh and we do think that

they should be in every single new school staying with this as it were deep politicized procedural called text what do they think of you in there when you go up to the grand filled out is often said that a review kind of review you were recommending before the dreadful tragedy a review could have prevented the. least got a very good relationship with the prime minister on this issue a very good relationship with sajid job it and a very good relationship with sharma. i don't think chief advisor there was the one who was supposed to do the review well you're talking about the former member of parliament for one of the seat and. it's not his fault it definitely was his fault and it was going to happen i mean look in to be he didn't know he was going to lose his seat. well there you are as we conducting the review

ages ago. well i mean he was telling him but he hadn't been minister for long but i should point out even if that happened it wouldn't stop. because it wouldn't happen . of course but you know if if if if the whole thing had been carried out earlier of course. but i'm talking about this particular minister had been decided with the review would have gone ahead the time what. do you think of this judge that's been named your full confidence in him he said all it's supposed to be restricted to the immediate causes of the fire and the means by which it spreads that said. the other wider context involved in the remit i've never met the charge but i have. chatted with people who do know him very well in the legal profession and they say he's first class but this is not

something you know he's come under criticism moving out a single lives from westminster to milton keynes hundreds of miles away. but i really think it's for the local community in kensington and chelsea who've been affected by them really to give their views on the issue and their forces to be not the member of the south and west or any other member of parliament and i'm sure the judge is aware of that and i understand he very much aware of. cynicism as to the approach but i'm optimistic that he will lead the quality well and that we'll get a very quick i hope that the recommendations. that's the biggest challenge for them till we get recommended well last time we go recommendations they would act i don't know if we can all. this i would be a hole in this. and i as a member of parliament pledge that i'm going to ensure. all that the

recommendations are listened to and action is taken but as of now buildings could go up in flames because we don't have this recommendation. well this. i think very quickly sharing with everyone all these tell blocks all the information as the tests are down so it would be absolutely irresponsible if the local forty's in helsinki associations didn't act on the evidence that he's continually shared with them we must on the side to err on the side to call. the helicopters as they might agree the way thank you very much my pleasure. the chair of the u.k. all party parliamentary group on fire safety and a member of the administration committee to david a missed there but now from big ben to big lembit or at least for the liberal democrat m.p. mr them bitter what an amazing speech that was in about twenty four hours by one of

the most powerful politicians in the world what do you make of it i'm surprised he said that yes he's getting on in years but i thought he was statesman a powerful thought about the poor and also put britain right in the center of his agenda put britain in this underwater britain. i mean it is more about saudi iran russia and china that wasn't talking about i'm talking about vince cable is he giving you a pose in the shadow cabinet in the new period to subpoena agree that the states action could be a by election by the action going on don't hold your breath or your let's hear from some dole trump now a true leader. rocket men is not a suicide mission for himself and for his regime the united states is ready willing and able but hopefully this will not be necessary. speaking at the general assembly rocket man suicide mission and certainly. linda f.d.r.

and churchill and stalin are both talking about rocket man on the suicide mission for himself his whole regime that could be him or kim jung on the loose the you on anyway because you do have ins cable. breaks it a lot seems to work i don't know what he wants a break to take us to this story than from a tweet from the canary laura cohen's perk says he can't understand why we're all still talking about that three hundred fifty million pounds but twitter quickly provided the answer is the b.b.c.'s political editor at the right b.b.c. that's right and this is what she says woke up and we're still talking about three hundred fifty million pounds twenty seventeen everyone obviously referring to the referendum where the city is said to be roughly a third of a billion pounds a week to spend on things in the u.k. national health service yes but she's a nurse and health care and that love us the n.h.s. was where the money was going to go the argument was it might be something i car for that with the rebate she's saying why are we talking about it the story laura

is not about the money it's about that boris has resuscitate using the phone to resign or. amber rudd to said boris johnson as a taxi driver should resign of the load of the more johns the caller just said she should resign over the deport ation it's all a bit ironic isn't it and that's call for laura's resignation to iraq that resignation sure they all resign all of them could resign the british government as an act and now you're being silly and we just go to something silly when we go to something more important from the un itself this is obviously true this is more important new sentences double hunger rising again driven by conflict and climate change that's what the un report says this matters because this is the first time that hunger and starvation are up in a decade according to their estimates millions of people now not having enough to live on malnutrition and death obviously affecting people of all ages including children and the quotation here is and this is from their heads of five urine agencies this has set off. alarm bells we cannot afford to ignore we will not end

hunger and all forms of malnutrition by twenty thirty unless we address all the factors that are on big multinational companies rely on wars this review and reporting to say that one of the major drivers to this disaster is violent conflict which is immensely profitable and climate change climate change is caused by big multinational energy companies a what are you saying here well one of us would make any money and all of that is true all of that is true you can argue about the climate change point but there's no doubt oh of course irregularity well and i only want to know that if a lot of other what do you get a hurricane a rear then it's power again and there's a you can't distract me from this story it's not just about climate change it's also as you said yourself about war if you make billions in the arms industry the question is does that also mean you have a moral responsibility to expect some of the consequences of that including starvation now if you add all that together the u.n. should say yes but that gets awkward point the finger at some of the biggest arms

sellers including the u.s. and the u.k. well that's an uncomfortable truth ok that's not resolved in this discussion or i but this from the south china morning post a slightly different take to the one we're getting in mainstream media about the dreadful re-injure refugee crisis it is a very interesting take the south china morning post as new diplomatic missions signal china's support for. the crisis now this is a complex story because it involves a nobel peace prize winner who is the acting leader of my own ma she doesn't look to some nights he's taken enough of an initiative to try and deal with the issue now china established its first diplomatic days in office last week in the country there which is still struggling to attract foreign diplomatic missions even the placed young gone where most new one is and this is a new what it says the first diplomatic mission but isn't the point here that when the burma is a military government was abusing the human rights were violated western interests

. they were all there nothing was being done. to power the kind of power and it's not chinese and indian oil pipelines and now we get wall to wall coverage of the horrific proportions of human rights abuses going on there now that china is getting involved much less comfortable especially with india that we're actually seeing the relevant of another big hot spot between superpowers and that's one of the reasons these refugees are at the hands of superpowers rather than the local situation as well all that's going to thousands of refugees muslim refugees obviously starving and close to bangladesh. thank you will be back on saturday. and. one hundred ninety nine years to the day of the publication of. which were read out by the british labor party. line on like the best is really like to learn stuff.

on. like you. full of you. you. here's what people have been saying about rejected. out of my way. back to. the same. parent better than. ever heard of. the president of the world bank. prescribe medication is widespread. and frequent. cause of death.

i just felt like everything was ashes my family was literally coming unglued i had actually planned. to commit some site water or who has made antidepressants so commonly used we were doing what the doctors told us to do we were being responsible and what the real side effects. was. what i did was done on a cocktail of legal drugs. just because something's legal doesn't mean it's think. is with the with me and many. of the other. but. it was based on what i guess are kind of the scientists you.

see reviews out and that is. where they. get a good area for immigrants it's hit and miss we never really know for sure but this has been a active area. becky so i. know. when i started know it. these are. the things these are just on it so tough because it can all delegates because. the move to the combine isn't happening as little history it's

a little stoutly. but if you don't know. what you. are you go. wrong syria and north korea in his first speech at the u.n. general assembly but his overall tone sounds remarkably similar to the speeches of his predecessors. in america we do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone i do not think that america can or should impose our system of government. scottish police arrest catalonians genius economy minister is the authorities turn up the heat over the region's upcoming illegal independence referendum.

those problems look. i'm asking you do you want to change section to thirty. and the u.s. senate holds a hearing on a bill to online sex trafficking but some technology companies are opposed they shouldn't be liable for users content. to international live from moscow today with maine a day or two to welcome to the program donald trump has delivered his first address to the u.n. general assembly however much of his rhetoric seems remarkably reminiscent of what his predecessors used to say on new correspondent open looks at some of the new president's rather old remarks. trump opened up his debut in the green marble hall of the united nations with some of his signature rhetoric which many people argue

got him elected as president of the united states i will own was put america first but from putting national interests first this speech quickly moved to a globalist agenda with a list of condemnations of other governments rogue regimes represented in this body not only support terrorists but threaten other nations and their own people with the most destructive weapons known to humanity trump lashed out at the syrian government reiterating claims that damascus has used chemical weapons the actions of the criminal regime of bashar al assad including the use of chemical weapons against his own citizens even innocent children shock the conscience of every decent person trying to threaten to destroy north korea prompting a walkout from the country's ambassador the united states has great strength and

patients but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea and then trump lashed out at iran branding the country a rogue state it is time for the entire world to join us in demanding the veterans government and its pursuit of death and destruction donald trump speech ended up being a sort of call for countries around the world to confront those who quote threaten us with chaos turmoil and terror namely three countries iran syria north korea two of which were named as the axis of evil by previous u.s. president george w. bush but we know their true nature. north korea is a regime arming with missiles and weapons of mass destruction. while starving its citizens. iran aggressively pursue these weapons and exports terror while an unelected few repressed the iranian people's hope for freedom so much for trust

election promises offering a new approach to world politics focusing on america's national interests and not being the policeman of the world cable r.t. new york until it's w. bush is not the any president his rhetoric was similar to times at times and the president even sounded like his pontiff permanent and pretty decisive barack obama in america we do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone i do not think that america can or should impose our system of government on other couples. in remote corners of the world citizens are demanding respect for the dignity of all people a future of dignity and peace for the people of this wonderful earth. we will fight together we must work together to sacrifice together i believe we must do better to gather and stand together for peace all of us can be

coworkers with god the almighty god who made us all. as our correspondent mentioned earlier trungpa lashed out at north korea syria and iran in his address to ron's foreign minister has already reacted branding transfer marks shameless and ignorant despite iran's compliance with the nuclear nonproliferation deal signed in twenty fifteen washington has been escalating tensions with the country the trumpet ministration views the deal as unfair and in july announced new sanctions against iran just a week later congress passed a bill to impose fresh sanctions against the country washington's ally president like quantifiers has none the less defended the deal from the same podium where trump lashed out at iran. i would like to defend the nuclear agreement with iran are engaged went on nonproliferation allowed us to work out on the fourteenth of july two thousand and fifteen

a solid robust and verifiable agreement that enables us to ensure that iran does not obtain nuclear weapons renouncing it would be a great era this could apply to north korea to immediately dialogue control a multilateral ism these are the efficient weapons this is the only way forward however u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson said washington needs its european allies to make the case to iran that the deal has to be quote revisited this is how it rains have reacted to translators harsh remarks about their country. you know the un says iran is complying with the green light all european countries and russia see this saying the only country that claims otherwise is the us our people need to stand together giving in to america would achieve nothing it would make matters worse than they are now. we are not afraid and we have never been since the beginning. we have been under sanctions for four decades and the people of iran are certainly not afraid now in fact sanctions have made iran more independent in many fields. we

discussed the potential consequences of washington's pressure on iran with former cia officer jack rice as well as bass political analysts. unfortunately we have to realize that it's the p five plus one everybody agreed not just the brits and the french the russians the chinese the americans if we pull out of this it's the entire world will be looking at the united states i agree that there are limitations and problems in fact you could expand upon this and it needs to be but to walk away from this deal in itself would be a a huge error at this point. has many components of power including its nuclear industry missile power and regional prisons and military clout and influence in the region what they mean in washington is to wear off these components of power once they do so iran would be a very easy target like iraq at the time of saddam hussein and that would mean.

fundamental violation of the nuclear deal and iranian officials including the rayney and supremely there are they have all warned that iran would give them a very tough response. in another development the top diplomats of russia and the u.s. also met in new york to discuss global conflicts and ongoing dispute between the two countries following the meeting russian foreign minister sergey lavrov commented on the state of bilateral relations and who he thinks prompted the tit for tat actions. very little. response to bubble stuart. little sort of a reducer growth on the low point. we choose to live issue of the obama administration. serious people responsible people. will still

use one of them. but we can. draw conclusions. and understand where we want to be. spanish police have arrested catalonia is junior economy minister following a search for documents related to the regions in legal independence referendum us according to local media the al pious newspaper citing police sources says in total twelve people were arrested early morning raids were carried out by spain's civil guard in fifteen locations around the town of gerona the move comes after a probe was opened against castle and its president for backing the vote. as part of madrid's drive to block the referendum thirty seven cats who had always support for the upcoming vote have been issued court summons in a criminal probe on top of that more than seven hundred of them as were threatened with arrest last week we spoke to the mayor of

a cattle and municipality who says people have been surprised by the actions of the authorities. the power of some of them to be a. police force is going off the ballot box. thing very very strange is something i've said i think many people out of a maze reaction are spanish but if you use. surprise. the police the judge is putting so much pressure this is not a movement only led by some politicians seem about someone that this is a movement by their self i was. free citizens that's what makes us a strong these these strong support. they see. not want to stand out or at least they don't want to see despite the seabees this reality.

spanish place of congress created more than one hundred thousand posters promoting the upcoming independence referendum referendum in catalonia set for the first of october that takes the total number of material seized in relation to the vote and more than a million the move has been met with protests which at one demonstration erupted into song. i. was. for each paper for each poster that they seize we will put up ten more no one can prevent our country from voting for democracy and freedom in october the first. with just four days left till germany goes to the polls in its general election the big parties are doing all they can to win ever any last minute support but while the main rivals grab all the headlines there's a whole raft of small parties passing by almost unnoticed among them on the vegan

party the alliance for basic income and the urban hip hop party peter oliver has more. it's fair to say that the race for the chancellor's job hasn't heard the excitement that say the u.s. or french elections of hard over the last twelve months but here in germany one party has been committed to giving us a bit of a giggle depart time simply meaning the party of the german satire party and they've become known for their blissfully absurd on a festo proposals d. party supports the implementation of an all encompassing universal total justice at least twice as much justice is the s.d.p. any complaints about supposed injustices will be suppressed with the utmost force then there's the poster campaigns when the anti immigration alternative to germany party put these up saying they preferred the finis over burkas. said

they preferred what i think we can see what they preferred and. there are also some new rules now hate speech towards islam must now be delivered facing mecca there will also be a minimum refugee quota of eighteen percent for this and other groups criticism of gender madness must always be gender neutral if authorized to no chance of making it into the fold is that this time around what. is on the board is

a member of the ripping apart of if you will get back in twenty four thing departed leadership told us what they stand on the major issues facing the world today. we would advise that people should have a license to tweet for that they have to pass a test similar to getting a driving license they will have to prove that they have enough sense should you not meet their standards you would be denied access to any social media forever when you put it like that they don't sound too bad to me you've got to hand it to the children jokers for adding a little crow politics to the federal election these are all of a party. that have a look now at the latest polls it looks like the current ruling party will be staying put angela merkel's christian democrats maintain a commanding lead the social democrats looks set to be next across the line but it's a closer run thing to third place in the run up to the vote r.t. has been speaking to people across the political spectrum is the vice president of

the free democrats wolf. that's analogy. we have already had you know we've got our intake and we're calling for continuous constructive dialogue instead of saber rattling we want to sit down in the negotiating table and listen to the different parties positions listen to russia's position and in turn explain our doubts fears should be minimized not fanned his hands a detroit game show once wisely said as long as people are talking they are shooting each other this should be our goal is a dialogue and teamwork europe and germany need russia and vice versa we should conduct dialogue rather than fuel fear.

technology companies speak out against any bill to come back sex trafficking find out why after this break. what holds institutions are going to. put themselves on a lot. to get accepted or rejected. so when one of the first entry. forms somebody want to be rich. but you want to be closer this is what before three of the more people. interested always at the water's edge. there should be. in case you're new to the

game this is how it works not the economy is built around corporate corporations from washington washington controls the media the media and local voters elected businessmen to run this country business equals power. bust it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. welcome back to the program a b.b.c. online article has prompted reaction from the russian embassy over the unusual choice of illustration. well we can get more details now from all sides from that

in london honest. can you explain what all the fuss is about. well media or the russian embassy here in the u.k. had some questions for the b.b.c. following an article that seemed to lump together online jihad as propaganda and what appeared to be the russian flag specifically in an article they published on their website the b.b.c. had used an image depicting the same colors as the russian flag which is white blue and red and to this the russian embassy in the u.k. had tweeted saying hey b.b.c. what does the russian flag have to do with online jihad is propaganda in u.k. change your graphic designer or your photo bag now the official twitter account of the b.b.c. did not react to this tweet however they did change the picture on in the article which now depicts isis militants and isis flags but it has to be said that this is far from the first time when the russian embassy twitter account sort of chases the british press specifically one example comes to mind when they had commented on the

times article that talked about quote cyrillic language which probably meant cyrillic alphabet and another example we've seen a case where the mirror had used images from a traditional russian pancake festival in what they presented to be an exclusive investigation into russian football hooligans and so certainly this is not to the first time and it probably won't be the last we have certainly reached out to the b.b.c. for comment on this and we'll let our viewers know if we hear back. thanks for the updates on the story as the see a choke in our live from london. is that companies and provide criticizing a u.s. bill designed to tackle online sex trafficking is approved it would allow legal action against platforms and services that host illicit content tech firms warn it's a step towards an demining free speech online but critics point out the corporations seem to have no such concerns when it comes to deleting fake news and hate speech

samir khan explains more. silicon valley and congress are now clashing over the issue of online human trafficking u.s. lawmakers have proposed a new bill that would make websites liable for prosecution if they fail to combat the problem internet giants such as google facebook and twitter have opposed the bill saying it would undermine a free speech the jeopardizes bedrock principles of a free nope an internet with serious economy can speech implications well beyond its intended scope the mother of a deceased victim of human trafficking sees this issue quite differently my name is yvonne ambrose. the mother of two plates. i'm asking you but you want to change section to thirty and support the bipartisan legislation to stop enabling sex traffickers act not only for my baby but for the protection of yours and others yvonne ambrose says her sixteen year old daughter

was killed after she was advertised for sex on back page an online classified ad service ambrose wants to hold the website responsible but back page denies this saying they did not advertise her child for years however the company has been accused of allowing its users to post classified ads of prostitutes some even under age according to the national center for missing and exploited children the majority of its child sex trafficking cases involve on back page so why not just close the site well under u.s. law internet providers are not liable for user content no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speak of any information provided by another information content provider now tech giants still want to change the law and don't want to take responsibility either but when it comes to limiting speech however they are more than ready to take responsibility our system relies on people in the community being able to reach out and tell us what they think is offensive and then we stuff teams of people hundreds of people

around the world to be able to go look into those claims and follow the guidelines to take down the content. that we saw as hate speech airport into those policies last year facebook twitter microsoft and you tube announced a code of conduct pledging to remove online hate speech within twenty four hours google and facebook launch a fact checking algorithm that labels news as fake if it fails to pass an independent audit and in august you tube a candy monetizing videos that they deem extremist it seems as if these i.t. giants have no problem restricting user content themselves but quickly draw a line when the government tries to do so now is this a picket. choose approach or are tech giants correct in trying to prevent government censorship even if they're guilty of censoring content themselves samir khan r. t. washington d.c. . tech giants claim the broad language of the bill would make it counterproductive

and lead to the suppression of free speech but political satirist horowitz believes that he is a purely motivated to be concerns about profits. there's a group think among all these high tech companies and there are certain political ideologies mainstream ideologies which which are for a bit and almost sometimes on their website they're trying to make sure that their political perspective is the one that's dominant on their platforms and that other ideologies other ideas other thoughts are really trying to be shunted to the side and it's quite scary what that means to our democracy this is all about liability this is all about being protected from lawsuits these big i.t. companies don't want so old creepy guy name ronnie you know going about his dirty business and then being sued because of it because the apple to post something on facebook or you tube would have you but this whole argument is all about money and avoid being sued so that's really what at the heart of this issue. two hundred and

seventeen people are confirmed dead after a massive earthquake hit central mexico the epicenter of the seven point one quake was in the state of puebla some eighty miles southeast of mexico city tremors leading to tragedies some distance away from the epicenter twenty children died in the capital when a primary school collapsed survivors and emergency workers are joining forces to try and save people trapped under rubble. meanwhile just over a week devastated the car abandoned southern parts of the u.s. harlequin maria is sweeping a similar destructive path category five winds blasting through pride to wreak with florida bracing for another marina as the details. according to the

national hurricane center's five pm advisory maria remains a category five packing sustained winds of one hundred sixty five miles per hour president declared a state of emergency for puerto rico which authorizes the department of homeland security and fema to coordinate all disaster relief efforts now three people died when when hurricane earl might pass a puerto rico two weeks ago this hurricane is expected to pass directly through the u.s. territory so obviously a lot of people you know hoping for the best bracing for the worst. you can find this all over social media facebook twitter and of course website that's all to don't come i'll be back at the top of the hour so don't go away. the one on the. islamic states claims it was behind the month just

a terror attack. front so kill the priest every time a terrorist attack happens all these people are out there screaming to go ice is so bad someone needs to do something against them and for me was like yeah why don't we do something. here's a. little of the first ever. heard of it in the local a lot of the goofy. new g.i. little chat if these chatty softens i am ok sam guy has got to get. the flu cases from his and let his show i'm dead on.

about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry but only 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 day. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some more fun to feel 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.

hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered the role of l. the one word that aptly describes american politics today is divisions the line that divides liberals from conservatives of his deep and even worrisome to make things worse there are some of the same dividing lines within the major political parties can these breaches be mended. cross talking parties in crisis i'm joined by my guest new york is a conservative political commentator and in percival we have ned ryan he is the founder and c.e.o. of american majority all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want i always appreciate steve let me go to you obviously woods we've seen with the result of the last election cycle actually going all the way back to two thousand and ten is that we have the growing divisions between the parties and but one of the things that really concerns me is the divisions within

the parties as well we have a sitting president. nominally head of the republican party has very little support in congress to get his agenda done which the american people voted for there's no doubt about that but also we have in the democratic party will hillary simply will not go away and this. new attacks on bernie sanders i mean one would have thought it would be time to start healing i mean you know in the republican should get in line instead of aligning themselves with you sometimes democrats lose it. responding more to donors and their own political future here so you know do we have the two parties that are really kind of diffuse right now and don't have a very clear mission because we have individuals that do but we don't have the parties doing the same thing and needless to say the democrats have absolutely nothing to say go ahead. well i think the democrats are in bigger trouble i'll get

to the republicans in a second i think the democrats it's been what how many three four congressional elections in a row that have resulted in in the where we are right now with the congress being overwhelmingly in the house of republican in the senate of course i mean this is gone on election cycle after election cycle and the democrats don't seem to get it now in the aftermath of the clinton wing of the democratic party notwithstanding the fact that hillary not only won't go away but now she won't rule out contesting the election if you can believe that one mate who's a leader they have no direction they have no must say have no leadership you've got bernie sanders he's a socialist you've got a little bit war and you've got the black congressional black caucus you've got you've got sure you've got pelosi they're all over the place now as far as the republicans go but it's very very disheartening that the leadership hasn't learned a thing. i guess did ok go ahead ned jump in they're going to head import go ahead

and go ahead though i do want to jump in again and put to highlight the fact forget about the democratic party at the federal level they have been absolutely devastated at the state level as well between twenty ten and twenty sixteen they've lost about eleven hundred seats at the federal level if you look at the governorships there's thirty four republican governors and i you know there are seventy of the ninety nine state legislatures that are now in republican hands and you have over twenty five trifectas meaning republican governor state senate and state house in republican hands the democrat party has been devastated last six years again because there is no really strong message that resonates with the american people but you're also talking about there is some for there are some fractures within the republican party but the point that i want to make about people called the trumpet genda no republicans across the board ran on tax reform and repealing obamacare this is not just trump's agenda this is the republican agenda so when you look at the i call intentional inability to push for this agenda i'm not really sure. what republicans are thinking because guess who is on the

ballot next year they are not trump and so they better figure out for self-preservation how are they going to get some of these things done again repealing obamacare and moving on tax reform you know steve speak to that because it's unlikely because what's really quite remarkable because med's absolutely right for seven and half years they said you know let's get rid of obamacare and now it's dropping into their hands and and then you have again the divisions within the republican party you had john mccain i think out of spite more than anything else not really there it's beyond comprehension sometimes i don't know if you saw his speech i mean there were snippets of it there were real real statesmen and then he ended up really being a i'm sorry a jerk on this on the floor of the senate i mean this is the thing that i'm talking about because there is there is you know when you cut the cut cut underneath the president here and his agenda no one is winning the republicans are winning the democrats only and the american people aren't winning either i mean i don't see any

real strong responsibility and you know i can i can take it or leave. it that's a totally different issue here but i'm talking about people ask for it from their elected representatives go ahead steve. well i like the fact to a degree that the republicans don't march in lockstep like the democrats do i mean there are some things to be said for marching in lockstep because things get done but that the republicans took the credit of some of them don't i mean there's a lot of different factions within that party however having said that seeing the opportunity that's been presented with the kind of victory that donald trump won with what he has brought to the table how he's energized the country energized the base and having the house and having the senate to have people like john mccain and he's certainly not alone thwart the health care almost singlehandedly as you point out and do it with a bitterness and do it with a vengeance against donald trump and to hear people like the leadership like mcconnell go after trump and paul ryan criticize trump at every turn at every tweet

and i mean this is beyond real political differences within the republican party there are people and the leadership is included that just don't want to see donald trump they think he's an aberration and they think he's going to bring them down and they don't realize they're bringing themselves down that there's a huge misreading of the electorate i think if go ahead ned jump in go ahead. no i would argue in fact i agree with steve that they need to understand they are working against their own interests forget about the fact that there is there is some strong personal dislike of trump within the g.o.p. establishment in fact it's becoming very apparent again as i said that paul ryan into to a greater degree mitch mcconnell there has been a certain inability and it's been intentional do not pass the thing that i will say though is as you start to look at where they're at right now with the cassidy graham bill you're looking at tax reform i think they're starting to at least understand that twenty eight thousand is coming and the american people have

a very short fuse these days if they will not pass a legitimate tax reform and legitimate health care reform they're going to be in trouble next year and i would say again paul ryan has to understand there are no givens that people will simply vote for republicans because they're not democrats people want to see legitimate reform again the working class there's a reason that six to eight million of the working class that voted for obama voted for sixteen they want to see something that addresses their issues which again are jobs the economy the future security immigration all of these things and the argument i make to a lot of these g.o.p. establishment people that are struggling with the trump agenda you know what follow the agenda and i think he can take them to dominance of decades if they will simply pass the three big things tax reform health care reform and immigration reform and steve one of the things that's interesting and maybe but maybe you know they may not have any i mean you know you know one of the things that i think interesting since hillary clinton stole the primary from bernie sanders we would have had

bernie sanders and donald trump but what i think is really interesting is that really should see my mind because this i'm not really in nam merge with the parties ok i'm more interested in the outlook and that we would have had very starkly different outlooks in that race and i think it might have been help people or the country to see what would have played out because it might have. more definitive but of course hillary cheated as she always does and her husband always do ok and they continue to do ok and i think this is one of the things that is very telling about the establishment parties they are not listening to their electorates on left and right to go ahead steve well i think you're absolutely right i mean again i think hillary is really in significant i think the democrats wish she'd go away and they some have said so said some of said it quietly and i don't think there's a clinton wing of the party any longer i just don't think there's i think there's

too many wings of that party and i think they're going to suffer for it big time however i do agree that if and i don't see this is what i don't understand republican leadership and republicans in congress and in the senate have to know that if they don't get things done if they don't pass tax reform if they don't repeal or replace obamacare then they're going to lose control quite possibly of the house and maybe the senate they have to know this yet the year is gone by they took their vacation they're doing nothing that the leadership is bad mouthing the president is that going to all turn around in a way team they should've known they never should have gone on vacation because i didn't do any work here let me let me go to ned before we go to the break here i think there is a clinton wing of the democratic party and it's called the mainstream media they're the ones that continue to support her failed unpopular agenda the media is doing it go ahead. well i would argue again the

a lot of us have viewed the mainstream media is the p.r. arm of the democrat party but i would say i would actually agree that the clinton wing is shrinking this is not the same democrat party that it was twenty years ago i mean it's the same name but its essence has changed i mean the democratic party right now i believe is being devoured inside by its far left donors and by its far left grassroots and i truly believe that in two thousand and twenty the democrat party will actually put up someone so far to the left of mainstream america that you will have those clear choices that we didn't have in two thousand and sixteen that's a very good doing and teeth also is a wing of the democratic party i would i would argue steve i'll give you one minute before we go to the break go ahead steve one minute for the break yes no i could i could not agree more i mean you talk about how the party's changed since bill clinton he's had to apologize for signing don't ask don't tell he's had to apologize for welfare reform he's had to apologize for the criminal law the crime bill and and putting people in jail everything he did he had to say i'm sorry

a badge and how would change from the days of kennedy i mean john kennedy would would would would know what right had he was looking at so he i believe by in two thousand and twenty and beyond this party is falling off the cliff that's absolutely the case you know and bill clinton never apologized for what he should apologize for gentlemen we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll take care of what's going on parties in crisis. with this manufactured consensus and stick to the public will. when the really close is something. checked themselves. with the flame and

larry go around to listen to the woman said oh. that's not going all middle of the room signals. deluded i mean real news is really the world. well you know the cars they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're in the small ball it's next to the harp on ships and it's still. putting. the little self to big told fish already ninety percent of the dots and it won't be calm or. conjure fifteen's seventeen tons true or not they do it several times a day with the big fleets of power you get an idea of why the ocean is the fish.

we have to understand we can all stay still and just. be with them this will be used the old boy is ours. i'm doing this because i want the future world to the future generations to have out and enjoy the ocean we have. heard in case you're new to the game this is how it works not the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington herd washington controls the media the media control over the voters elected the businessman to run this country business equals power who must it's not business as usual it's business like it's

never been done before. seems wrong but old rules just don't call. the old to shape our. you can't get out to it and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. welcome back to crossfire all things considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing parties in crisis.

ok now i'd like to introduce doug in washington he's a presidential historian and a former white house adviser to two american presidents and also before i want to plug his book here game of thornes inside story of a hillary clinton's failed campaign and donald trump's winning strategy all right in the first part of the program we're talking about the problems that both major parties are facing here i want to change the gear a little bit in give this to you is there such a thing is trump ism and will true if there is will trump ism survive donald trump go ahead doug. hi peter i was listening to a part of that part of that conversation earlier and i felt the one thing that was missing is that both parties republican and democrat are so corrupt there are wonderful thank you will who are thank you the lead and label sure and wonderful people who are serving in agencies of government then and some of them are

extremely honest but there are so many deals going on i'll hire your nephew please hire my wife and pay are ten times what she's worth corrupt the level of corruption is so great who cares whether you're a democrat or republican i just want my money that's what's going on and donald trump represents a threat to both democrats and republicans and big companies who are on the make who are on the take they gave money to the clinton foundation they expected it back one hundred times over with government contracts corporate welfare now exceeds welfare for the poor so donald trump represents not so much a new party or even a new philosophy he. he is the great disruptor he represents us threat to the corruption that is reached a level like brazil or congo even though it's illegal ok what what what i would if i go to steve here what i like here is that you have you have to you have two

visions there you can watch the president on twitter or you could watch the emmys ok i'll decide for the viewer decide which one will be forced to lose your lunch here but you know. steve one of the things that i think is really really important here is that like him or dislike him respect him or disrespect him trump has figured out the electorial strategy for possibly a generation to come ok and i think that's what's really significant here ok is how his appeal maybe not his love personal appeal but his approach to politicking on a nationwide scale and i think that's the most significant thing about trump is i'm go ahead steve. trump ism is being unafraid i knew that of the seventeen candidates up on that stage for during the republican primaries the only one that could beat hillary clinton was donald trump because i know he would say things and go places that none of the others would he if they others would act like john

mccain and mitt romney you know you can say that and or you better not bring that up donald trump is unafraid and that's what's driving i think the leadership of the republican party crazy because they still think that if you act civil if you do i don't have to anybody don't offend an independent just played by the republican traditional playbook which loses and the media will love you and everybody will love you and that's not it donald trump is proven that does not exist anymore and people like paul ryan and mitch mcconnell and others just can't accept that and well except that they think that when trump goes somehow someday someway you know id he doesn't run again already you losers or whatever they will be back to normal they will never be normal again you know internet diva i might think the average. voter doesn't want to be loved i think they want to have a functioning economy and solid borders ok and a future to look forward to i don't care if i am loved ok i think that this message

here again this is the media that does this this is the media that does this all the time i'm offended i'm offended i'm i'm offended by the media and what they concentrate on what two scoops of ice cream who's standing next to whom what is this all about is it's like criminology in washington it's ridiculous here and i think that's what i'm agreeing with what with doug said here is that you know in your face this is what we're going to do you're with us or you're not with us and if you don't like it vote it's out ok that's as simple as that we don't need a conspiracy theory like we've seen for the last year go ahead and. that's right no but there are a couple things though the dog hit upon that i think you need to consider when you're looking at american politics i actually wrote about this a few years ago it's people want to look at as republican versus democrat i think you need to look at it more of the ruling class versus the non ruling class versus the american people i agree and if you start to look at that framework and

understand the republican establishment democratic establishment there is a certain status quo that they don't want to see change and i don't like it when it's called trump ism because the thing that i think that donald trump has hit upon that the american people have embraced is a common sense approach i said it's not republicanism or democrat isn't it's american ism and that's why i think that you do have the ability don't call it trump is a commonsense american ism that will last long beyond donald trump's presidency because people are realizing we've entered a little bit peter i call of post party era where people will still register as democrats or republicans but there won't be a strict party allegiance they will want leaders that will actually come up with ideas again that the american people think put them first and not a ruling class or not other interests but the american people who provide a tax base that funds our government well in the in the last election and so it's true is that let me just go ahead real quick steve jump in i was going to say with all due respect i don't think the people care that this guy's son is being hired by

this congressman if you hire my daughter and i'll give you this i just think they want they elect people they expect them to do what they were elected to do and and keep their promises and all that other stuff gets pushed a little bit to the side i don't know if it gets pushed to the side here let me go back to here i mentioned the emmys here already on this program and it seems to me that this is. the heartland i mean rich people giving each other awards for really mediocre acting ok and other forms of entertainment and or wearing beautiful dresses you know i think the heartland saying i'd like a nice dress too i just want to decent job. bob ok i just think this is stark polarization in the culture right now culture matters i think the democrats don't have a clue about that go ahead. totally agree i think it's part of the secret to his election success it's the drain the swamp i mean the rich got richer the poor

got poorer under two presidents a democrat and republican at an accelerated rate and if the rich got richer because they outwork the poor or were smarter than the poor would have fixed except it but seventy three thousand pages of regulations to open a manufacturing firm in the united states you know why not because they care about meeting all these issues and conditions but because they want to keep you out and you start a hamburger joint in america today your tax money will go to subsidize your competitor down the street he'll get a one hundred million dollar interest free loan from the federal reserve you got to pay for through the nose to get money from your relatives to try to get it started or a bank it's a corrupt system and it's it's reached the point that it's touched me i lost the value of my home i lose the value of my four a one ks so now i may add i didn't

mind you would you hire in your nephew or your niece and all the corruption and tell it hit me yet but now it's hit me and i'm mad you know me you know net it's you know it's a private club but we're not invited ok that's that's that's absolutely clear ok and it's not based on merit whatsoever it's based on what your values are perceived values are ok and this is what i do is group think in the elites and i throw the republicans in there too ok because they're fat and happy i like how the way things are working ok and again i were really want to go back to the media i think this is the media perpetuates this narrative. ok they don't they got the election wrong they got the polls wrong and i think they're really still very wrong but they must pay a price for it go ahead though and you look to the you know i'm all about a free press i'm also about press and if you look at the percentages of negative coverage of about donald trump there's not even they're not even trying to be

objective they are trying to drive a narrative and this is why i've said that a lot of these people claiming to be journalists are in fact opinion this and people that are saying the reporters are actually just giving their opinions and trying to drive a narrative and that's why i totally agree with steve bannon when he said the media is acting as an opposition party and at some point that the american people are tuning them out and that's why you're seeing the rise of some of these other outlets whether it's bright board or other outlets that are trying to report news and saying we're being honest about where we're coming from yes we have a certain worldview but we're just trying to report the facts and be objective at least on some level the mainstream media has has left behind any objectivity and they are working as an opposition party and i think a lot of you see the american people going hey we want we just want to hear the facts let us make our own decisions for ourselves ok but apparently but apparently and to go out and wants to make those decisions by the way don lemon on c.n.n. doesn't believe they even exist here doug address that issue i guess i must have

you know i had eye surgery a happy year ago i guess it didn't work because i watch one clip after another you know of people dressed in black using and using the bike chains to slug people in bay seem to get off the hook go ahead. so yeah i think anti flu may come back to bite the democrats because the republicans have been clear trumpets been clear rejecting the k.k.k. and rejecting right wing is scream of screwups but i haven't hear heard very clear resoundingly. rejection from the democrats of and teeth a so i think it's going to stick to them i just want to say because your earlier talking about the media there's motive that media is tied up with the corporate world which benefits from the corruption in washington i'll scratch your back you scratch mine years ago when i worked in the white house of george h.w. bush when i first went into my office in the white house i had people coming out in the sit down next to me saying well you're going to support this you're going to

support that so why would i do that i believe in free enterprise they said because the liberals do it when they're in power if we were conservatives don't do it when we get in power we'll get left behind so i was astonished that was years ago that's what we're seeing now i want to go to stephen give steve the last word i don't know if you saw the clip about nancy pelosi to talking about dhaka and she was shouted down by people demanding that eleven million people be amnestied i think the revolution is eating itself last word steve go ahead well this is a very good lesson and one that republicans should have learned a long time ago and john mccain especially after he ran for president he became when he was running it was an enemy he was great to the media before and after they loved him before and after but when he was running they hated him no matter what donald trump or any republican does on dhaka on health care on anything if they give into the democrats this much if they let dr people stay here but they don't

let their relatives in but they don't let the parents stay but they have that thirty seconds after this legislation the democrats in the medieval say well why didn't they do this why did they do that you will never look and you will never get credit. what you do never very spirited debate gentlemen we're brown out of time many thanks to my guests and new york and washington and thanks to our viewers for watching us here darkie see you next time and remember. here's what people have been saying about rejected and. the only show i go out of my way to launch you know the really packs of. the john oliver of mark t. america is doing the same we are apparently better than. the c.
