his father being a guest on the channel and also to come this hour schoolchildren in afghanistan crying u.s. troops opened fire on them after rocks were thrown at military vehicles. are welcome you watching r.t. international now israeli defense forces have raided a number of media outlets in palestine claiming they've been inciting terror we can get more details now from local journalists here he's in tel aviv good evening what more information then do we know this stage. yes just last night the i.d.f. and shin bet raided the west bank offices of eight palestinian media outlets and production companies these companies have been accused of collaborating with hamas and islamic jihad two of the company's transmedia were completely shut down the

company's equipment was seized and two palestinian suspects were arrested several of the companies are located inside the palestinian t.v. channels based in gaza and lebanon the companies are suspected of distributing incitement material and the purpose of the raid was to shut down the company's presence in the west bank and prevent incitement which often leads to terror attacks the i.d.f. has served closure orders to several the companies including pal media in bethlehem and ramallah channel and have grown and transmedia in nablus the palestinian authority condemned the raid saying that the intention of the i.d.f. the operation was to sabotage those exposing crimes and accused israeli forces of a gross violation of international law palestinian media workers and activists protested in front of the un office in ramallah against the shutdown and the raids occurred just hours after the israeli government stated that it will not deal with the palestinian unity government which includes hamas unless it disarms recognizes the state of israel and renounces violence last week the palestinian movements went

on hamas signed a unity deal which marked the end of a decade long split you have more to hide the head of israel's coordinator of government activities in the territories claim that the channels broadcast constant incitement against the state of israel he claimed quote it's no secret that these two channels inspired several times terrorist to go out and commit terrorist attacks against innocents a military spokesperson said that the security forces searched the offices that are suspected of encouraging celebrating and promoting violence and terrorism against israelis this is actually the second rate of palestinian media company in july they raided pal media communications company and confiscated all their main media materials. just explain to me how a bit of background with power media it's pretty it's a pretty large companies in it. now media is a large company and it has several locations and. the raid in july also confiscated all of their documentation and media materials your ok all right look

thanks for that update there was no sheer for us there in tel aviv. now us about forces in syria have declared victory over islamic state in iraq are claiming the city is now fully under their control these are the latest pictures from iraq or it's a virtual ghost city as you can see the destruction you see here too was caused either by i saw militia shelling or airstrikes by the u.s. led coalition aid agencies say a huge effort will be needed to end the humanitarian crisis there the international coalition meanwhile says the city's still only ninety percent clear of ice or a spokesperson for the u.n. sick secretary general says aid is ready and waiting we have received reports that much of the city has been damaged or destroyed due to the fighting we're closely monitoring the situation and stand by to deliver lifesaving assistance to those in

need as soon as access is granted and security traditions permitted i still claim drakkar is defacto capital back in twenty fourteen the first major offensive against the terrorists two years later it was once syria's sixth largest city but it's little more than rubble. recently called missionary forces were ready to demolish the whole building to target one member i said they have no problem killing civilians. we ran from death and fear any human being would be afraid the sound of the planes makes us afraid

they were shelling the civilians destroying buildings and houses rakhal was destroyed by a coalition at craft only ten percent hit the targets the rest hit civilians. the u.n. estimates that's an average of twenty seven people are being killed in iraq up every day. and this seems to be no real escape for these civilians their level of suffering friends relatives family of the children essentially. status targeting. the british foreign secretary is taking aim at opposition labor party and pays for a pay or not say r.'s johnson has scored it a scandal if you study the outputs all of russia today i'm d.v.d. if you consider the state of the of the press in russia at this at the present it

is an absolute it is a russia today it is a scandal it is a scandal that members of the party opposite are continuing to to validate to validate and lead you to make. that kind of. by going on those programs. boris johnson there mentioned only labor m.p.'s however members of his own party haven't paid an r.t.a. numerous times to in the past two years alone fifteen of them have spoken to us including the former energy and climate minister charles hendry and also assistant government whip mike freer and even the foreign secretary own father stanley johnson was a guest here i'm going underground talking about his book i do notice how you do take sides in this book what does this mean or take kerry stokes the a bully a former mayor of london how he was absolutely living up to the expectations people had a real wowing the crowds were every went he could be serious too if it was absolutely

necessary who is this former mayor of london character in which to do is absolutely as it were we all we all face that reality sometimes we absolutely we have to be serious well you are right absolutely right absolutely nothing will be that happy but there is a who is that look i'm not saying that that particular character is a million miles away from another member of my family whom you have. mentioned artie's editor in chief margarita simonyan says the foreign secretary is just bullying his colleagues for exercising their freedom of speech in our scene earlier we discussed the issue with conservative m.p. daniel kitchen ski along with the former mayor of london ken livingstone both of whom have been guests here not say in the past. anybody who challenges and criticize as i think of that i think they should pause and take a moment to actually look at the interviews do look at the sort of questions that we receive as british policy politicians to look at the sort of context of what we

are discussing we are evaluating and giving our opinions to russian and international viewers i've always found the interview to the interviewing techniques and practices to be very sensible and professional and that is why i continue to appear on this program i think is very very important in these very difficult international times particularly when tensions are growing that we continue to engage and appear on each other's programs i don't accept this criticism by the way we are criticized a lot for appearing on r.t. both in the british media and also by colleagues what's the situation here is he's now our foreign secretary defending western interests and western strategy in places like the middle east and therefore he wants to undermine any other media outlet that's actually challenging the sort of propaganda that the british government pumps out and the idea that we should try and block off or stop people

appearing on r.t. is absolute nonsense i'll continue whenever you want me no one's ever said to me we want you to say this or we don't want you to say that whereas i can think of one or two british and programs where i've been told please don't mention this or that you know. that the news tonight is to claim that u.s. troops in afghanistan opened fire on a group of schoolchildren are today three rocks in a military vehicle two boys were reportedly injured. national have this morning i want to go to school when i entered the school some of a classmate sticks stones and threw them at us equals they opened fire in return i injured my leg my friend was also injured now i'm in hospital. yes. i came to school and i was playing there when the u.s. convoy passed by some of the boys threw stones at it then the u.s.

forces started shooting. the. understand that the children threw stones at the u.s. tanks the don't know any better because their children but the u.s. troops are educated they came here to rebuild their country instead the children. were set up a common knowledge and this was not the kind of reaction you expect they should have contacted the school administration and this is not good we condemn this incident the government shouldn't just gave this case. we contacted night command in afghanistan for comment about this story although we're still waiting for a reply when the u.s. invaded afghanistan in two thousand and one following the nine eleven attacks but sixteen years on and with kindness lives lost the military is still there and the casualties continue tonight.

he says amy for me i was praying in my house and when i saw american helicopters i told my wife and children to save themselves after that i just heard a loud noise and then my house was destroyed six people were wounded including women and children. they destroyed our house and our family members wife the americans are killing our women and children every day in afghanistan and they just say sori it was a mistake. was sitting in a room together and suddenly i heard the massive bombardment of village and i was injured. on the explosion happened i was near to my uncle and cousins american soldiers opened fire and a bullet flew about my face i ran in here and came out on the hours later my uncle and cousins were dead so i went to the village to tell everyone the former afghan

president hamid karzai gave us his reaction to the incident with the schoolchildren and the continuing u.s. presence in his country. the school defendable it's exactly what. a good relationship between us and america's into of into a bad relationship into him to get a quote from a ship it was the issue of civilian casualties that that. was the first and the main cause of my. difficult relationship with america were of my protests to what was called on. from what the order to bring forth the we're there to stop this themselves we don't think they would leave. and when the u.s. forces came to afghanistan after september eleventh they came with the massive backing of the international community in that environment of cooperation if the us

wants to stay of the welcome it's good for us but if the us isn't of ghana ston in a competent of mood with the rest of the region with the lord and big neighbors this will mean trouble for us but this for me would be undermined and stooped over which we don't want to sort when do you get us on the afghan people who will come then. it was the reason of their success if the u.s. begins to behave as an invader all order as it all compiler. where we now left thinking is there among the great many of the afghan people that that's what's happening there of course afghans would not accept an occupation and afghans will do all they can to free a country to gain independence. for the past three years since the arrival of the afghan scene with the year of the destruction. vibrational fumin writes that the calls to kill. in the very

beginning would they appeared in eastern afghanistan and the people begin to deport the extreme violent elements coming to get us out of the religious killing them who took them driving them driving out of their homes. and no action was taken and then from the two years onward to today. every day the local people of the local government official the media. and i and others begin to report that to an lot foreign helicopters to go into and support extremists in various parts of the country in all parts of the country in eastern north and northwest northeastern and sold this of afghanistan so there's a lot of evidence unfortunately that shows that that these extremist forces were supplied from the foreign bases within afghanistan the question is why. the suspect

responsible for a brutal bombing in somalia may have carried out the attack and revenge story more after a short break. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president injury. or something want to. have to go right to be cross that's what before three of them or can't be good get . interested in the waters of. the ship.

seemed wrong oh well just don't call. me. yet to say proud just being educated and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. again that the suspect responsible for a brutal bombing in somalia may have carried out the attack in revenge for us right on his home village that's according to local officials let's just remind you then of the devastation caused on sunday in mogadishu.

so the somali authorities now believe that sunday's attack did come in response to a raid on a small village back in august the joint operation between government forces new us troops reportedly left ten civilians dead including three children the army initially claimed though that no local said being killed and that the dead were all terrorist supporters. of these local farmers red checked by foreign troops while looking after their crops among the dead are children aged between

eight and ten this is real genocide because they were innocent deliberately killed while on the. us african command said at the time it was aware about the claims of civilian casualties and was investigating although it said nothing about the issue since well let's discuss this further with the director of kenosis think tank. joins us now good evening to you firstly what's your reaction then to the news that this could have been a revenge attack. well good evening this is a classic case where by you know someone who's lost the relative or a close person or persons would be easily recruited by extremist. ideological organizations like in this case. and you know in order to target and funnel his anger against certain targets we have to i think her mother sews this time around apparently the first indications first evidence indicates that

this was not targeted of the original plan was not to bomb this heavily populated area but actually to target the bombing against the u.s. and other troops locations or this international combined in mogadishu it failed so and then they were apparently found so they targeted the local population but it is a classic case of disgruntled people wanting to make revenge and this has happened all across the middle east and is still happening obviously atrocities committed unnecessarily perhaps you know will cause such havoc. with regard to the raid on the village where the civilians were killed officials originally said that there were no civilian deaths do you think that was. a statement made in good faith. to some issue of a cover up a what are your thoughts. think you know the the usual response in such

cases would be to try to calm down and try to subdue the news in a sense in order not to cause a lot of you know outcries in the world and in order to also keep the. facade of being in control as it is the corporations and. so on and so forth and then again we see this a lot over the area but again real stories or what is really happening would come out and then you know the whole world would know yes i would go for the cover up story actually with regard to africa i'm saying it's investigating but not actually . saying what it's found out yet or not putting any new information on the table is that a surprise do you think it's dragging its feet or do these things take a long time to investigate. well it shouldn't take a long time but we need to also take notice that part of the investigation that is

going on in this particular bombing that took place on saturday is that the explosives that were used were of a military grade and one theory is that it may have been stolen from from the peacekeeping african peacekeeping force does that mean stalling or does that mean some complicity so in a sense this this little african people force would would have a vested interest in trying to come up with a very shiny new lie and they would want to make sure who's behind water before probably issuing the full story but obviously this is this will take all be a while before being cleared up for for you know being aired as a news crew ok amulet we'll leave it there thanks for your time this evening that was and i work at director of big an artist think tank thank you thank you. china's president has been outlining his future plans for the country during an epic three

hour address to the national congress of the communist party paying touched on many topics including military expansion judicial military must regard combat capability as the standard to meet in all this work and focus on how to win when it is called on who will take solid steps to ensure the military is prepared for all strategic directions of my progress in combat readiness in both traditional and new security fields speeches like this do take place every five years more than two thousand delegates from around china were in attendance the main aim of sheeting things address was to outline the challenges the country faces and to point out the areas that need work a specialist angry young believes the president outlined very pressing issues. he's rallying the chinese people and the company's party to make china great again as it were creating

a better life for his people and defending the country against any perceived threats. of its sovereignty and particularly he also highlighted the fact that china entering into a year of great uncertainty is looking around the world there are perceived disruptions threats you have a new president. and what was happening over the south china sea china's opening up its economy relative terms but china is unlikely to copy the examples of other countries i mean less of war in the form a collapse of the collapse of the former us as our i think china learn a big big lesson and it's going to go about is trying to actually feeling the stones in crossing the river as it were but there is no doubt that nowadays china's economy is more open compared with a couple of decades ago. russian oil sparked

a media frenzy only this year after the marriage that she had met with during the u.s. election skies meeting the genius was seen by many as clear proof of russian meddling and collusion. donald trump's son think he was about to get help from a russian lawyer with ties to the kremlin we all know her name now and tell of a summer sky italia vessel natalya vessel needs sky this is looking more and more like trees and all this strange behavior from the president it's all explained well now she is back in the spotlight after a media outlet found released her memo of that very meeting and it mentioned nothing about handing trump dirt on his rival hillary clinton as previously claimed according to her notes natalia wanted to discuss sanctions imposed by the u.s. on a number of russian officials they were being punished over the death in custody of magnitsky who worked for a moscow law firm and had been investigating mass corruption in russia she says she

wanted to prove the sanctions were politically motivated. to pull up with something just to make it clear i was never against any sanctions because they don't involve my client but i am against manipulating facts i'm against how this or it is haven't investigated the story behind the many ski act what happened in the us it was pure politics. as i personally gave this memo to the journalist i can't recall her name this is a translation of a memo that i prepared for myself before my trip to the u.s. last year everything else learned i shared with police and american lawyers this memo was the result of my own investigation. so again worked for the hermitage capital management fund he died in a pretrial detention center in two thousand and nine while he was being held over tax evasion claims the u.s. accused a number of russian officials of complicity in his death and imposed sanctions against the authorities have denied any wrongdoing in the case but even the new

published memo hasn't or a suspicion that tell us in its sky is a kremlin agent some media outlets claim that the documents language does resemble another memo handed to a u.s. congressman by russia's prosecutor general attorney it says there's nothing suspicious about that either with this but after which i've read this memo and i agree that there are some similar points there is nothing extraordinary or criminal about that i have written about my investigation to prosecutor's office many times in this memo there are just facts it doesn't matter what language you write them and it's all the same. however some think that you're working for kremlin it's a very stupid conclusion well at least now they will read into the full story so that brings you up to date service how things look so far today here in r.t. don't forget that you can keep across all these stories plus others to you on our

social media pages and channel i'll be back there in half an hour with more. in case you're new to the game this is how it works the economy is built around. preparation washington washington media the media the. voters elected to run this country business equals. boom bust it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. live. live. live

live live live . i'm actually tired they were going underground today as the un security council debates the ongoing bombing of yemen by british backed saudi forces that is that the killing were to go displacement of over three million people coming up in the show how did the elites betray brittle award winning author and daily mail sketch writer quintin let's lays into what he calls the patronize and to rule the u.k. in the now finally getting their comeuppance and after this week's hurricane ophelia interim speech on iran will it be climate change or nuclear war that gets us we ask legendary science communicator dr called you can drink coffee to get

a good night's sleep and how politics is crucial and from the headlines well explore all the columns columns with that moscow man on the kremlin's com over. the lives of all going up in today's going underground but first if the burning grand felt in west london has become an emblem of austerity to bail out the banks to resume its policy of universal credit is emblematic arguably of the journey that austerity has taken the british people on for britain's politician in charge of it david gore giving evidence in parliament today it is about the pitfalls of signing checks off for the poor universal credit it's the next step on our journey a journey to a welfare state that gives people the hope that they need but does not trust them independence. a welfare state that believes we have to support that one but that simply signing a check is not enough so what is universal credit well the government has posted a host of videos on you tube to help so-called customers i.e.

the most vulnerable in your case to understand what it is passwords apparently a particularly important keeping your details safe and secure is one of the most important things to do online and having a strong password helps to remember a password starts with a sentence or some words that you remember for example i love ice cream pewter was have great yes poodles have great hair seriously though what have been the results of teresa mayes policy a by product of bailing out the richest banks on the planet when it comes to even mainstream media here's one food bank volunteers view of universal credit these people are suffering which have been. so people like us need to voice stand that everybody stopped in one council alone it's been reported that ninety two percent of social housing tenants are now in rent arrears as the roll out of the universal credit system begins but

if homelessness is the result of the new policy this comes only after the un and the international red cross have expressed concern about raising rates policies it is arguably the recognition that elites are completely out of touch this is led to the rise of phenomena like german corbin and bricks it on the other side of the atlantic donald trump and a new book by perhaps one of the greatest political sketch writers of his generation quentin letts argues that the people have had enough quentin welcome to going underground or perhaps realizing bastards how the elites betrayed britain clearly you're a supporter of jeremy corbyn john mcdonald donald trump in this book i'm not really a supporter of there is no. but what i'm trying to do in this book is explain how it's come about but these many revolutions have happened. the reason it happened is that we have an elite in this country go to you know this is a book about the new the current establishment but there crumbling falling into the sea and one glimmer of hope for the people you mention is the death of the first

one no that was i think it was an early sign of what can happen when public sentiment rises up and you have the death of diana it was an extraordinary moment and the british establishment became scared and they thought yikes we've got to do something about this now in the event it was something as silly and sort of small as the flying of a faggot or buckingham palace but it was a moment when the british people saw we can effect change with our sentiment our feeling and. of course it was a big vote as well and one response to investigate by these so-called elites is the use of border we use a lot of trying to let's have this so called elites these are the people there were this is the parliament these are lawyers these are the civil servants they really are they really are in how do they use boredom to stop revolution boredom very good point if you if you go on television and you are incredibly boring which i hope i'm not being then your audience will switch off and the public will stop paying attention british politicians and i suspect also european and russian politicians

as well are incredibly good at doing board and we've had various chancellors of the exchequer our current one philip hammond is an olympic gold medalist when it comes to boredom and if you if people detach people switch off from politics then the people in charge can do what they want there are so many facets of civic society investigating this book let's just take a look at culture. people rebelled eventually against say the turner prize the turner prize this annual event is great art. good eyes by take out or in the b.b.c. and it's meant to be about argument be therefore about beauty is it not but in fact what's happened in recent years we've had most ridiculous things i don't know what we've had what we had was one of them had a turnip on a bicycles are not that and it's just. ludicrous modern art has become to completely detached what they said about the pressure is that but if he does there are a hundred in and actually what's happened in the event is that people have stopped paying attention to the turner prize and the public of just laughed at it so it's

gone beyond useful and then it becomes much more serious. obviously the destruction of the series as well but you talk about the chief scientific advisor to. g.m. food who told us diesel cars of the future david king professor david king held up as a great orthorexic and you see science is the is often used as an ally of the technocracy because science is something that most of us don't understand so they can say ah well science and that is the ultimate tautology now that religion has been and what happened is david king told us all that we should be using diesel cars because it was going to save the planet alas it did the exact opposite and well it did not so much saving the planet but it made a lot of people very ill and the government later admitted that diesel cars were killing people with a fuse so if someone watching today has been told by their boss to write mission statements all these missions whether you like mission statements mission the

statements i just corporate buy the yacht and they talk about these corporations i mean even british aerospace which is an arms manufacturer has a mission statement about its values. that's very useful as well as a missiles flying towards the enemy you don't think saudi autocrats are impressed by these documents i don't i don't suppose that your average saudi king when he's thinking about buying a whole load of rockets looks at a mission statement or says that that makes me feel good a new image of x. and we will. so are you saying this any way out of it or do you think the brics it is a signal to us that actually the people have had enough of this kind of book baloney breaks it was a terrific thing that is now a year and a half ago and we're still you know still talking about if we're going to be leaving the european union and so the british establishment and actually the european establishment going on. complete dirty protest and he's trying to pretend that this thing isn't going to happen or if it does happen that they can somehow blunt it and disgraceful behavior we're seeing what's going on kenneth clarke a prime among them the conservative chancellor saying oh you know we sensible

people don't think that we should be doing this well so we can get people voted and you've got to give the you've got to give let breaks it happen because if that doesn't happen imagine the damage that will be done to public belief in democracy but this isn't just a book about democracy about brics it's a wider book i hope about the people at the top becoming completely divorced from the people at the bottom the audience figures with these programs are off to be i'm going to kill you saying the government is all over the b.b.c. or part of these elite and out of touch with the governors of the b.b.c. tremendous news they didn't get their jobs even though the not now governors they're called members of the trust but they still get their jobs through connections they've no members and then don't sit indoors one could say from present who put their names forward and say i'd like to be a governor oh no no no you've got to be a member of an approved cost really it's no longer class it's quite wrong to think about britain being still as some old fashioned class system that is so out of date

is this new technique that runs britain and europe and possibly other countries as well i don't know but the one and i know about is britain if so do you really think that the these new developments are signaling the end of it i mean you talk about the legal lobel commission which makes it sound a bit like some conspiracy because of the global commission on what is the global the global commission i think it's eleven commission on drugs which richard branson has global commission he point he appoints the people and says we are a commission what is the word commission mean it means absolutely nothing it really just means a group who've been committed to do something. that is an example of self selecting suits suits in the trough that's what we have here and this is why i call them that they're not terribly patronized people they're saying. to the little people to hoard of oil you know you shall do this they will actually have your answer as a role model of what he shouldn't be or branson is a terrible man. richard branson or them to. have him on and about it because he has

this group called the elders who are again a group of self selected x. states people fail politicians basically who go around the world telling serbo countries we are to call not developing world and. telling them how to solve their problems well how did he do that should be a question for the people of those countries i don't trumpet a very good thing recently in that slightly mad speech he gave the united nations he talked about the importance of the nation state of the nation state is important idea because it is a state in which the voters can get rid of the people who will be people in europe are certainly going to. see that the ability to get rid of your governor is absolutely vital and then on top of it all they also try and take religion away from those that see it as a comfort and their family sounding like a terrible oh. there is a person on religion is part of this i have to admit there is a risk of sounding cross the whole time that is of course a book it's a course i have is quite it is a little funny because one of the best weapons that we have against the elite is

humor and taking the mickey out of them and the brits are good at that but religion is well i think that that has been taken away from the idea of beauty and religion the idea of respect and dignity in religion and now i don't know much about russia but i have been to moscow and i've been into the cathedral and have stood there in awe at the chanting that is done and there's a sense of mystery and that sense of mystery being taken away to a large extent from a lot of anglican wash because we must have this rationalist worldview everything must be scientific and provable ok well we have to ask you this question you know you are a minority or basically you are going to criticize as much as you what you do and lord rather me or your editor paul dacre the noted elite you can attack what i mean very rich on a oversea and they're powerful in some ways but i don't think that patronizing. just on the business side of things but. it is the opposite it is tell me about finally about this pattern. it does the brakes and vote and even cool but does it

mean that that is slightly more circumspect and they realize that something has really changed when i think the timbers have been shifted by it by trump and by the failure of mrs may to increase the majority actually act in the name of god to terrorism but they are incredibly in the gutter tearing in that they don't want to hear what's going on in the market they have actually created a new glass ceiling even though they will talk about the seating being shouted there is this terrible distance between the people who are in the technocracy above and those who are the group to question that's. after the break one of the world's greatest science communicators dr called tells us where we can escape to in the event of a trump nuclear war unfold the headlines will reveal double standards over the nation's health secretary who could be asking patients to take a hike. through of going underground.

how does it feel to be a share of the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job there is a good business model helps to run a prison now we do it on my radio visitation i don't know what comes. to me more cost effective that's what they want to. give a damn. good. incarceration rate. as the bridge what is behind such success.

welcome back if it's not the threat of climate change evidenced in a very rare murderous atlantic hurricane affecting europe i learned wildfires getting scores in spain and portugal it's the threat of nuclear war that has been on the minds of some politicians around the world donald trump's decision to unite iran with britain the e.u. china and russia against the usa let alone trump threats to annihilate north korea i mean some believe the world could end sooner rather than later who will speak to them but one of the greatest science communicators of our age with me is dr call whose new book called the universe and everything tackles some of humanity's greatest questions dr call what is this new book called the universe and everything about everything i have stolen various ideas from scientists i'm a conduit i get the brilliant ideas and i filter it and put into language that people can understand such as for example. coffee can help you have a really good nap so we let explains this morning with me well you see we live in a society where we no longer have. working longer hours and so we got to having

a nap you can turn out that if you have a cup of coffee it takes forty five minutes for the coffee the caffeine the active ingredient to reach its peak so if you have your coffee and then immediately have a nap for thirty minutes and then goes off and you wake up you have firstly had a sleep and secondly you are picking as the old hippies used to say with the caffeine and so you feel doubly good one pessimistic question given all the news about north korea in the united states what will it feel like if i have a nuclear bomb goes off here in london from one single nuclear weapon alone in any city in the world there will be more burns fixed victims created in an instant than every single hospital in the world put together could accommodate what would happen to any city with nuclear weapons at least one hundred thousand dead immediately plus in long term things that's where the problems with nuclear power nuclear weapons certainly during the 1980's here during the period governments were saying

stop doing research in what seems as a terror of subjects go for profit driven sons research is idiotic it's part of the package but it's missing the bigger part of the package because in the modern smartphone as an example. all seven of the major technologies behind the modern smartphone were invented by governments doing pure research with absolutely nothing positive or short term in mind so i love profit in the process because it keeps is efficient ruthlessly efficient ruthlessly can be a problem and that's why all of government because government has governance and has the medium view and the long term view and working together one keeping an eye on the other that's good because then you end up with those short term research and pure research i should say that broadcasting in this country is your great progress as well is covered by restrictions on impartiality in this country and mainstream

media some people have been attacking it because debates on climate change and other end of time subjects in a good way they have to have both one has proved the idea that there's been a climate change and one against this idea as if that meddling in debate will get us to the truth what do you think of it well if that makes sense then every time a spacecraft is launched in addition to saying yes we have launched a spacecraft the equal amount of time should be given to somebody who says the earth is flat and in fact there is a heavenly does above the earth which is made of alabaster but put there and he'd put some blue carpet on every note and the things that you call stars they glow worms and equal amount of time should be given to that fruitcake as well with regard to global warming in not a seventy three it's a long time ago munich re the world's largest reach surance company was already factoring climate change or global warming or greenhouse effect as they called it back then in their insurance premiums. and nineteen late seventies i started

reading about it ninety wanted to my first story on it saying well maybe it's real maybe it's not the insurance companies think so they scientists need more proof not in ninety eight they said this is the case it is real no you know what i wrote an eight page center spread for a newspaper in australia the whole set of pages of a tabloid the next year the pretty and he moved kicking it the emails are quite clear from the new york times that the major fossil fuel companies had a choice admit that israel started this information campaign they went down the same pathways tobacco which even today says the back out is not harmful and is not addictive people who do understand was doing themselves down by saying things like oh it's getting hotter this summer it was the ice core data that was weighted with the cold would like it in the bottom line is this every day we are putting into the atmosphere. amount of heat equal to the explosion of four hundred thousand

hiroshima bombs the if you got one hiroshima bomb exploded four hundred thousand of them and did that every day the heat is what we are trapping in the earth's atmosphere by the top dogs or without it if it stayed in the atmosphere the temperature in the seventy's and albeit not. but and the oceans in the. lower levels. are the high levels of heating up but we also had missions from space showing that there is a list amount of heat living it is how much less are four hundred thousand hiroshima bombs per day during space exploration and quite often the sides could be one hope for humanity we have to do that we have to become a space going right to hell or wings ago a lump of rock six hundred meters in diameter mistress there was one not so recently recently again if it had impacted on us it would have destroyed

immediately in the first go something between ten to fifty percent of all human life on earth and then the following would be such that we would not have electricity today we wouldn't have a modern society you wouldn't have trains we'd be brought back to a substance to saudi if we had discovered three years earlier we could have maybe nudged it of course but maybe half the time to the mrs we had three weeks warning we've got to become space going right i think there are grounds for thinking that as is the human as intelligent life in the universe gets to a certain stage it also gets to the stage where. what itself out and we're going to get through that and i think we can i want to mystic for no good reason will have to leave the planet eventually anyway yes five billion years where we got the the sun really just lays maybe just for the one percent to really be able to afford to go that maybe and other things to worry about where one distillation of the human race maybe there is in our solar system a moon which almost certainly but with zero proof let me emphasize that zero proof

that almost certainly has a lot said and certainly certain has life. in two cells and seven the cassini spacecraft over seventy a trip inserted itself into orbit around that many solar system that is satin the ring planet with a whole bunch of moons and as it came in this is the pitch buckshot of little fine particles and they record the data but i had bigger fish to fry like the rings of saturn and tartan and then they went back and i looked at this buckshot and i thought these are rocks fall four to eighty nine images in diameter and iraq they're made of silicon dioxide the only way that nature can do that is by running hot alkaline water through rock which happens on the ocean floor on the oceanic ridge so coming out of unsold is with all these rocks coming out and in still this is a rocky moon three hundred sixty kilometers surrounded totally by a global ocean of water not enough something nasty like so few against

a liquid water and covered in tali by a show of ice water or is not covered also as the water ice and coming out through holes every second from the south pole is one quarter of a ton of water carrying the multiples of life carbon dioxide the things that are formaldehyde and also these tiny rocks in the same way that on the floors of our oceans on the mid-ocean ridge we've got these harder to move ins the water out of four hundred degree centigrade and strange colonies of life existed. and this is college of laughter not the kind of the sun in the same way almost certainly but with even proof this is same thing happening on and some of this. saturn at the royal society recently just were gathered saying the money is going into the exploration but no into the science little be needed when we get there this is enough money in the system for everybody so consider a billion is consider the bottom half of the planet three and

a half billion humans to equal wealth of the bottom the poorest three billion humans on is in two thousand and ten took three hundred plus billion is a drop down to eighty five sixty seven and in march this year it took eight humans humans white male to have as much wealth as the bottom half the planet and if the governments do their governments which is their job and i say the people go to politics i myself ran for politics and failed but that's where the power is so you have influence that i have for have no power so kids they should ration stuff sharing the t.v. they go into politics and do good things for your children your girl thank you and your monitor here. well for the end of the world l. to learn to go pick the book author and former liberal democrat member of parliament but serious condolences from both of us i'm sure to the family and friends of definite gillet twenty thousand euro reward being offered by wiki leaks

for the one woman we can expand our papers whistleblower terrible tragic bombing off. this week but i should say when it comes to journalism good work from the murdoch times appearing to allege foreign office collusion with the regulator of this show going underground on this channel t.v. when it comes to regulation censorship yes curiously it seems that the foreign and commonwealth office according to freedom of information revelation has been passing on messages from off calm to the people in moscow at the british embassy. before r.t. is chris if i were a government censor you do the same thing let's go to the t.v. network fox news well is it more serious fox news says russia try to poke a man go to stoke racial tensions in the us well if you even understand this complicated link apparently russia has tried to play book one girl at the halloween stuff and i hardly even understand it but apparently you go to places that poke

among go and you stand there and according to this something involving a russian link and tumbler and contest in pokemon go means that russia is trying to get people to play program go places where there's been into racial tension for example between the police and black people have suffered in america i'm not making this up and it really is this complicated bullshit play pokemon go this halloween other games are available to help them if it was real actual you have made it as a president that if this works that will bring america to its knees if you see the film pixels it might just work but i was with extra terrestrials not with the russians maybe the foreign office should be investigated to resume help for al qaeda link rebels in syria let's go to the tragic story we've chosen. news channel al-jazeera here double standards why aren't we all with somalia this is in relation to one of the most serious and most murderous bombings that have taken place in recent years over three hundred people killed in somalia with hundreds more wounded

this is to do with al shabaab it's an ongoing is it to do with al-shabaab or is it to do with u.s. foreign policy well that that of those two things are connected it's said that american foreign policy has helped to destabilize somalia and given this group al-shabaab a motivation to perpetrate these crimes so it's all connected but the big point here is most people haven't even registered this when you've seen all of the coverage in the vegas where there were those tragic killings of many civilians it was still a fraction of the number of people who were killed someone fifty eight versus three hundred plus in various areas i think they did something with the i felt. but all the more sad because somalia was a beacon of democracy in the post killing off to britain and italy and now it's a broken states and if you look at the inside story in somalia the hire a c. which people have heard of is directly related to the poverty this is a forgotten story a forgotten nation not to say the west has to bear some responsibility here in terms of the recent past democracy going wrong and the present terrorism which

could as you suggested and quite rightly suggested could be directly related to american meddling murder we'll hear from sebastian could the new austrian politician on the block who has a lot of views about islam anyway he probably there are nothing at all as you probably won't hear him saying anything about this explosion it's in a far off country of which we know little and that underline britain is really used to be british maybe so it's an inconvenient truth though because you could argue that britain's interventions there long time ago a bit instrumental in the anyway if there's any horror terror attack on the streets of london hopefully they'll get priority if jeremy hunt resumes health secretary gets his way a brilliant new initiative here from jeremy hunt in the media group say they might not be a priority if they can walk the guardian reports jeremy hunt considers barring walk in patients from a and e. there are too many of these walking patients going to doctors you could say he's a casualty of somebody recording what he was saying

a conservative party conference he said apparently about the quote from dr helen thomas is a national medical advisor said jeremy hunt has mentioned to some of my colleagues maybe we should have a talk before you walk and then we may well pilot that that's interesting though isn't it the basic means if you've got some sort of a serious condition but you're well enough to walk to accident and emergency maybe you have to take a hike after maybe there are just too many ill people going to doctors in our health so why do you just write a letter to the saying get better don't waste time on the health service male or good thinking that then if the eleven take the brunt. of it i think a lot of people out there watching will will see that as a small price to pay thank you and that's it for the show we'll see you on saturday when we ask whether this week's unprecedented detection of a neutron star collision creating gravity waves could be used by the pentagon to kill people till then keep it up right social media was yours out of it sixty one years to the day british troops captured one of nelson mandela's heroes the kenyan independence and a data entry fee before executing him at

a time when thousands were tortured and abused by the british during the momo uprising. that's. right.

were detained on monday. hello good evening welcome it's just turned six o'clock here in moscow you're watching r.t. international will start this hour with breaking news to you because five people have reportedly been shot in a business park outside baltimore in the u.s. state of maryland the condition of those shot is unknown at this stage the area is in lockdown and police are hunting for the shooter we'll keep you updated on any further developments. now israeli defense forces have raided a number of media outlets in palestine claiming they've been inciting terror let's get more now from local journalist who's in tel aviv. last night the i.d.f. and shin bet raided the west bank offices of eight palestinian media outlets and production companies these companies have been accused of collaborating with hamas and islamic jihad two of the companies rob sought and transmedia work completely

shut down one of the media companies pal media works with major news outlets including b.b.c. and c.n.n. and as well as r t the company's equipment was seized in two palestinian suspects were arrested several of the companies are located inside palestinian t.v. channels based in gaza and lebanon r.t. asked i.d.f. for comments and the response was that it was an anti-terrorism operation the companies are suspected of distributing incitement materials and the purpose of the raid was to shut down the company's presence in the west bank and prevent incitement which often leads to terror attacks the palestinian authority condemned the raid saying that the intention of the i.d.f. separation was to quote sabotage those exposing crimes and accuse israeli forces of a gross violation of international law palestinian media workers and activists protested in front of the un office in ramallah against the shutdown the raids occurred just hours after the israeli government stated it will not deal with a palestinian unity government which includes hamas unless it disarms recognizes

the state of israel and renounces violence last week the palestinian movements fatah and hamas signed a unity deal which marked the end of a decade long split you have more to hide the head of israel's coordinator of government activities in the territories claimed that the channels broadcast constant incitement against the state of israel he claimed quote it's no secret that these two channels inspired several times terrorist to go out and commit terrorist attacks against innocents this is actually the second rate of a palestinian media company back in july the i.d.f. raided the pal media communications company and confiscated all of its media materials and this was a huge issue because as we mentioned earlier pal media is associated with the b.b.c. c.n.n. and r.t. . used the protests to madrid's parliament demanding the release of two catalan independence leaders who were to tell you on monday night they stood up to in the parliament and in the hold up signs in support of the. yeah more power to a lot of that. but it didn't lock up their listen your. scenario. more

bullshit will never come out of the. well the leader of the congress repeatedly try to call the m.p.'s toward her until they finally sat down meanwhile madrid still trying to pressure the catalan leader to clarify whether he declared independence or not. it's not difficult it's just a simple question have you declare independence of cuts alone you are not getting their demand to the catalan government is firm their demand expires and there's a twenty four hour. so quick reminder there now what happened this week to catalan independence leaders were arrested for the key role which they played in organizing the referendum one of them is the leader of the cattle and national assembly and the other is the president of an organization that promotes cattle and language and culture since then barcelona seen a wave of protests. ok

let's get the thoughts now of jonathan shafi he's from the radical independence campaign good evening she jonathan a lot of pressure is building isn't it against the spanish government at the moment what sort of impact do you think that would have that we'll have do you think the government perhaps regrets its actions. well i do think that seems to be the case i mean what we've seen as a father escalation as your package has noted some of the leaders of the independence movement draft troops leaders as well have been arrested and i think this sends a message from spain to the people cuts alone you know who are demanding their democratic race that they're going to continue their kind of method of oppression

they're going to continue to try and cool stone democratic structures around the question of independence and i think it should at least do face maintain criticism but i think that the criticism from europe is no we need a loaded off when you consider what's going on especially next point that everybody is looking at a state that's when the catalan president has to give a definitive answer yes or no and by the he's the clad independence do you think he will. well i think he's got himself into quite a difficult situation because seasoned someways given initiative to spin the cold his ambiguity over the question of course what he's trying to do is he's trying to see spain let's have negotiations let's have talks he probably expects that spain would accept talks and hopes that as a result of that the pressure from you it will grow on spain to stand on when it comes to replace of tactics. for the process of independence to walk itself until

a democracy to flourish in catalonia that's the opposite of course of what we've seen but the big question the speaking post for democrats right across is whether or not they're going to stand up with enough voice they're going to stand up with enough of an argument that's going to see to spain that the international community feigns its behavior unacceptable and that they support the right of self-determination for catalonians shore although i suppose the counter-argument is you know again spain's constitution i suppose if a catalan leader doesn't declare independence on thursday is that game over for him or. perhaps developing. well i think this has got some way to run because of course whether or no independence is declared that will only be the start of a much longer process well for example be recognized by the european union should be declared independence what will spain do to shut down any attempt to declaring independence really escalate even further than what we've seen over the last number

of weeks you talk about the spanish constitution well that be in any way reforms to reflect the ongoing crisis or well as i suspect spain escalate even further the methods of the patient has been deploying over the last couple of weeks and therefore you know i keep coming back to this is a question not just for council and not just for the spanish state it's becoming a real question for you to community and i think more and more people cuts are looking for that international support i think as to be delivered from a bowl and from above ok jonathan really good speech here we have to leave it there that was jonathan shafi from the radical independence campaign thank you. when the arrestee come as part of another attempt to promote the independence movement in catalonia which madrid warned about at the beginning of september.

i. was in charge of the cattle and government through a big. challenge to occur existence on. illegal activities they should abandon their objectives. i i. i. now the head of the u.k.'s domestic intelligence services warn that the threat of terrorism is none precedented level andrew parker has been addressing journalists

it's clear that we're contending with an intense u.k. terrorist threat from islamist extremists that threat is multi-dimensional evolving rapidly and operating at a scale and pace we've not seen before well director of the wreck general of m i five has issued warnings like this before in july last year he said a terror attack in the u.k. was a matter of when not if and a few months later he stressed once again there would be terrorist attacks in the u.k. and with several choices he's happening it seems that those warnings were pretty accurate so there's another side to all this is well a rise in hate crime according to the home office it's up by a record twenty nine percent compared to twenty fifteen and as you can see from this graphic the spike was triggered around the time of the year. friend them and has been few would see you after each terror attack in the u.k. .

i recall a story from a colleague of mine who run a counter extremism program in london in some of the most deprived areas of islam to be exact and he said that. some of the boys that he was. expected to conduct the radicalize had been affected because of hate crime mothers had been sworn a family members had been spotted that they had suffered hate crime in this case and that just made them more angry and they were seeking

a sense of belonging with the extremists or the radicals sort of speak so yeah it does have a knock on effect and this is the issue. ok well let's discuss these issues a bit further than i would there chris phillips the former head of the national security office and joins is evening chris thanks for coming on also when i was watching what was said there body m i five chief it did strike me he just sounded resigned to the fact that terrorism is going to be a problem for the forseeable future. quite right and i think we're talking a generational struggle remember fifteen years ago talking about the same thing that this was a long term problem and of course fifteen years down the road a generation down the road if you like the situation is even worse and that's brought on for many reasons and of course the the rise in hate crime and things it's all a spiral and the and that is actually the plan of terrorists to make us all hate each other and then be willing to kill each other and with regard to the terror

threat as you said there people have been talking about it for years why has it been so difficult to counter what we have big changes over the last twenty years with the growth in information moving across the world the internet is a fantastic thing and internet companies do really good jobs and we all love the the internet but also it's a perfect tool for the terrorists to not only turn people into terrorists in their own countries but also to communicate between terrorist organizations therefore making a problem that's happening on one side of the world immediately happen also on another side of the world and this this is something that's not going to go away i'm afraid would you anticipate then will be more. how we say more stringent laws on surveilling the internet in gaining access to our personal information because you know the war against terror is also up against the war against you know human

rights on our right to to privacy. it's always a balance between what we're allowed to do and also in order to keep her safe and we have to remember that this is a world problem it's not a u.k. problem we're just talking today about the u.k. but you could save exactly the same thing in pretty much every other country in the world including south east asia have got exactly the same problem so so we're is a real struggle for us to keep this terrorist problem down unfortunately we're going to see bigger attacks i can almost guarantee you that we will see bigger attacks with far more people getting killed and of course when that happens and there's a public clamor to to close down and tighten down on the people that we believe are likely to commit them in the future and as we've just mentioned see when that happens there also seems to be a spike in hate crimes taking what can be done to counter that what is a spiral and let's not forget that the whole point of terrorism is to turn one

community against another that's that's how they get people to be terrorists effectively because no one is happy and of course as a society is a very difficult thing to do to you know to think that a certain group of people are trying to kill us that turned them into the enemy and what we've got to do is communities around the world is deal with that and make sure that we do arm. non-radical people from islam or christians or whatever it is to make sure that they get the stronger voice the voice that means that the radicalized people don't get to speak for communities really important here that we we do the right thing to make sure that we don't turn people into terrorists ok thanks chris that really get to tilt you we have to leave it there that was chris phillips the former head of the national security office thank you now the suspect responsible for a brutal bombing in somalia may have carried out the attack and with angel has more

on that story plus this take after the break. what politicians do. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to the press this is what before three of the more people. interested always in the water . here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us actually just pull on . the only show i go out of my way to you know what it is that really packs

a punch. is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than. the c. people you've never heard of love right back to the night i'm president of the world bank so take. me seriously send us an e-mail. welcome back the suspect responsible for a brutal bombing in somalia may have carried out the attack in revenge for us right on his home fairly that's according to local officials well let's just remind you of the devastation that was coerced on sunday in mogadishu. i. was. good. enough to go to. the top there's a. lot

of trouble coming to drop that problem and. i so the somali authorities now believe that sunday's attack came in response to a raid on a small village back in august a joint operation between government forces and u.s. troops reportedly left twenty civilians dead including three children although the army initially claimed that no locals were being killed and that the dead were all terrorist supporters. close to the old if these local farmers were attacked by foreign troops while looking after their crops among the dead are children aged between eight and ten this is real genocide because they were innocent deliberately killed while on their farms the us african command said that at the time it was aware about the claims of civilian casualties and was investigating it's also said nothing though about the attack since i think tank director i'm our caff believes

the suspect could have easily been radicalized after such a tragedy. this is a classic case where by you know someone who's lost a relative or a close person or persons would be easily recruited by extremist. ideological organizations like in this case the usual response in such cases would be to try to calm down and try to subdue the news in a sense in order not to cause a lot of. cries in the world and so on and in order to also keep the. facade of being in control but again real stories on what is really happening who'd come out and then you know the whole world would know. the british foreign secretary is taking aim at opposition labor party and pays the

appearing on our say. in his code it a scandal. study the output of russia. and indeed if you consider the state of the press in russia this present it is an absolute it is russia today it is a scandal it is a scandal that members of the party opposite are continuing to to validate the legitimate eight. that kind of propaganda by going on those programs johnson there mentioned only labor m.p.'s however members of his own party if they're paid on. numerous occasions in the past two years alone fifteen of them have spoken to us including former energy and climate minister charles hendry and also assistant government whip mike freya and even the foreign secretaries own father stanley johnson was a guest on our going underground show talking about his anti breaks book but do you

notice how you take sides in this book what does this mean or take kerry stokes the a bully a former mayor of london how he was absolutely living up to the expectations people had of him wowing the crowd where every went he could be serious too if it was absolutely necessary who is this former mayor of london character and. is absolutely as it were we all wear your face that reality sometimes we have to be we have to be serious well you are right you. know i said absolutely nothing boris will be that happy but no who is this doc i'm not saying that that particular character is a million miles away from another member of my family whom you have. mentioned. he's editor in chief margarita simonyan here says the foreign secretary is just bullying his colleagues for exercising their freedom of speech here on r.t. only we discuss the issue with conservative. along with the former mayor of london ken livingstone both of whom have been guests here on r.t.

before. anybody who challenges and criticize as i think of that i think they should pause and take a moment to actually look at the interviews to look at the sort of questions that we receive as british policy politicians to look at the sort of context of what we are discussing we are evaluating and giving our opinions to russian and international viewers i've always found the interview to the interviewing techniques and practices to be very sensible and professional and that is why i continue to appear on this program i think it's very very important in these very difficult international times particularly when tensions are growing that we continue to engage and appear on each other's programs i don't accept this criticism by the way we are criticized a lot of for appearing on r.t. both in the british media and also by colleagues what's the situation here is he's now our foreign secretary defending western interests and western strategy in

places like the middle east and therefore he wants to undermine any other media outlet that's actually challenging the sort of propaganda that the british government pumps out and the idea that we should try and block off or stop people appearing on r.t. is absolute nonsense i'll continue whenever you want me no one's ever said to me we want you to say this or we don't want you to say that whereas i can think of one or two british and programs where i've been told please don't mention this or that you know. in other needs tonight it has been claimed that u.s. troops in afghanistan opened fire on a group of school children after they threw rocks at a military vehicle two boys were reportedly injured. more from out this morning i want to go to school when i entered the school some of a classmate sticks stones and threw them at us equals they opened fire in return i injured my leg my friend was also injured now i'm in hospital.

i came to school and i was playing there when the u.s. convoy passed by some of the boys threw stones at it then the u.s. forces started shooting. the. understand that the children threw stones at the u.s. tanks the don't know any better because their children but the u.s. troops are educated they came here to rebuild their country instead the children. were set up a common knowledge of this was not the kind of reaction you expect they should have contacted the school administration and this is not good we condemn this incident the government shouldn't just gave this case we could contact nato command in afghanistan for comment on this story although we are still waiting for a reply where the us invaded afghanistan in two thousand and one following the nine eleven attacks but sixteen years on them with kindness lives lost the military is

still there and the casualties continue to met. yeah he says amy for me i was praying in my house and when i saw american helicopters i told my wife and children to save themselves after that i just heard a loud noise and then my house was destroyed six people were wounded including women and children cheezy they destroy our house and our family members why americans are killing our women and children every day in afghanistan and they just say sorry it was a mistake. we were sitting in a room together and suddenly we had a massive bombardment of religion and i was injured. no less how when the explosion happened i was near to my uncle and cousins and

they're going to soldiers opened fire in a bullet flew about my face i ran in here and came out on the hours later my uncle and cousins were dead so i went to the village to tell everyone the former president hamid karzai gave us his reaction to the instant for the schoolchildren and the continuing u.s. presence in his country. this condemned of all it's exactly what. a good relationship between us and america's into a into a bad relationship into him to get a call for a ship it was the issue of civilian casualties that that. was the first and the main cause of my. difficult relationship with america one of my protests to what was called on. from what the or doing for the we're there to stop this themselves we don't think they would leave. and when the u.s.

forces came to afghanistan after september eleventh they came with the massive backing of the international community in that environment of cooperation if the us will sustain of the welcome it's good for us but if the us isn't of gonna stand in a call protective mood with the rest of the region with jordan big neighbors this will mean trouble for us but this will mean we will be undermined and stooped over which we don't want sort when the us can both got us on the afghan people who will come if. it was the reason of their success if the us begins to behave as an invader or as it occupies or. where we now left thinking is there among the great men of the afghan people that that's what's happening there of course afghans would not accept an occupation and afghans will do all the current to free our country. ok well before we go let's just have

a reminder of our breaking news this hour three people have been shot dead in a business park outside baltimore in the u.s. state of maryland that's according to a local sheriff the area is in lockdown at the moment and police are still hunting for the shooter there and that's what we know so far what have the latest at the top of the next hour you're watching artsy. same wrong. roles just don't all. get to

shape out. and in. the trail. find themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground.

buy and sell themselves ok i don't think that's a really big story but i what i really so totally disappointed with but probably also expected is that you know when they when you're on the right side of the barricade you're vilified you're destroyed you're buried you're forgotten but if you're friends of the powers that be the elites you give a free pass people oh i didn't know about it it's terrible ok and then they let it go it's so unfair and it is such a double standard go ahead. this is a weekly test of the no weather radio all hazards warning device for station k h twenty

delaware bay and in maryland cecil including chesapeake bay north of wells island this concludes the weekly test of no weather radio all hazards station k h twenty eight in philadelphia pennsylvania thank you for listening to no weather radio all dirt. and the fact is that a lot of stories were covered up over the last decade or so i mean we know this that has been a cover up i mean again the double standard go ahead rob in new york. i don't i don't think there is a double standard i think that there's bad behavior on both sides good show it's been pervasive for years at fox news it's been it's happened in hollywood i'm not denying it but there are conservative elites you have the koch brothers you know there are liberal elites there are leaks in this country who have money and power and they're on both sides but to say that the right is squeaky clean and.

i'm not saying that you know but i'm not saying that i don't think any and i don't think anybody is saying that now no one is saying that ok what i'm for what i'm saying is right that if i go to jena and west palm beach for the warmest part of the program here. you see that you know why didn't people come forward earlier you see these type of political connections here and it was about convenience and i think there's hypocrites on all sides ok when it comes to this issue here but at the same time you we do know that the new york times over a decade ago was working on this and it was squashed ok squashed and and i have to wonder why women in hollywood didn't get together sooner or maybe they just preferred to have a job ok go ahead. well rob's accusation is ludicrous there is absolutely a double standard and it's evidence by the fact that lisa bloom even talk harry weinstein's case because she's supposed to be the advocate for the sexually

harassed sexually abused whatever woman right and then look at this what about hillary clinton who hasn't had a word to say about this whole thing what about the obama's who were all talking about the locker talk incident that lionel mentioned that was blown into something huge that as he mentioned there is no there is no proof of anything ever actually happening by donald trump and yet they're trying to make comparisons on that there is a complete double standard and we know that hollywood is where the black ball was started if you didn't do what the big powerful producers wanted you to do you would not just not get that movie role right you would be blackballed from all of hollywood i just moved away from california peter because their moral bankruptcy in hollywood has spread much of television to janet is a money and power base of the democrat party ok they did james would be joining you

pretty soon because he is quite hollywood because he was is he believed he was discriminated against blacklisted because he was a conservative here i know one of the things that's happened over the last few weeks the late night show hosts i guess that there is zeus sitting up there in their summit here i looked because i don't find them funny and funny anymore i don't find them funny and i find them really mean spirited and the free pass that harvey weinstein is being given oh that was a little much for a little on the side off the cuff thing but if donald trump dropped it had been anything like there's a touch of the president they would have you know a field day i mean there is a double standard go ahead line exhibit a. exhibit a lauren michaels executive prelate pate the passenger rome of as sydell was confronted add an after hours party said hey why didn't you mention avi weinstein and he said

this is a new york thing you know peter this is this antimony and theory of there is we don't need no stinking badges and we don't follow the usual words the usual laws but here's the bottom line all we're asking for is very simply this if you're going to go after donald trump for a conversation let me repeat this of conversation to people alone thinking they weren't being recorded and it would be used in future oh twelve years later if that's what you're going to do if you're going to hold him up to that standard then when you have this rapacious hollywood who by the way this isn't the casting couch we're not talking about unwanted advances or mr lowe theriault these are serious observation accusations the same group by the way that when bill clinton was included in this people look the other way and hillary clinton just denied it these are the same as you would say liberal or progressive who had this

breathtakingly enco haired woman's march with people walking around with foam rubber pudenda and actually. actually judge who spoke who was herself the victim of harvey who was there and i guess when she said is it ok is a close clear ok now here i come look all we're saying for it is very simply that ok a good protection. is what you're going to let me go back let me go back to rob you know i've already said in this program if you want to go to hollywood and you want to be part of that cesspool buy and sell and all that you know that i guess that's there's a place for it here ok but but it rob at the same time i mean these are the same people who come on in these award shows and show their liberal values home. they care about women how much they care about minorities and don't build that wall and get rid of donald trump this is what i find bridge with ok what people do when they go to hollywood and they want to engage in that that's their personal business here go ahead bob. well i'm going to have to agree with you here that this may be what

we might call their comeuppance you know by the way leinil. sound of the sorest stuff the deep in the dream i just it's sort of what i love listening to when i play i have to go to look up words constantly i'm learning a lot from you i'm going to go i want to give you all a quick anecdote about three years ago i got overly horatio rochelle it had been a lobbyist sesquipedalian isms and polished a lot of metaphors i was in the lobby of the beverly hills hotel and i heard someone screaming and i thought perhaps that someone was hurt or in trouble and i came walking over and there was a man on a cell phone were ratings whoever was on the other end with obscenities it just it was behavior that was pure oil was a good one little you know any way a high school kid couldn't do this and it was harvey weinstein and i remember walking away thinking my god how does this guy get away with this i mean anybody

else would have been carted out of here where the beverly hills police department and shackled so yes this has been pervasive pervasive and endemic in in this business for so long and they are getting their comeuppance and i think they pushed it a little bit joining us on the war i mean let me get let me get along here in the novel let me give you the last forty seconds in the in the first half of this program go ahead react to what you've heard so far go ahead yeah i think this is the tip of the iceberg honestly and i think that social media and the way that people have cameras and things these days may just go ahead and and pull more of this out of the crevices and i hope it does because i know that weinstein is just the tip of the iceberg in hollywood ok i'm going to i'm going to jump in here way to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on hollywood pop chrissy stay with us.

global war hawks sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that don't. produce offspring to tell you that it will be gossip and probably by itself a little support today. aka the maverick telling me you are not cool enough and that's why their product. is all the hawks that we along with our audience will watch. but also dead to the ship. and a fairly strong one there were two thousand. and thirty. do

chemicals that the advertising. really increased the risk of cancer known to infuse them in the. system. is. by independent scientists so did the industry. from my time as was the others why is that the meat lobby. doing if you want to learn more you'll get a definite on the flop if you. do not go back to. big business against health.

welcome back to cross talk were all things considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing hollywood hypocrisy. ok i want to go back to. west palm beach again another element of this story here i want to keep stressing here what people want to do what kind of relationships they want to have with their bosses they submit to a humiliating selves if that's what you want to do to get ahead in life i feel are actually more sorry for you and at the same time i think the quality of the talent in hollywood is really you know it's a swamp i mean i don't think they present values that i have nothing in common with them that's why i used to live there i don't live there anymore and i'm very happy about it but jane i'm one of the things if you trust in the new york times story which i always have a huge huge grain of salt on my shoulder and i read them because i have very little

trust in the new york times these days for actually a long time but the number of journalists that submitted to pressure and editors pushing journalists not to say this not to let it go back off and then you know you have hollywood actors big names you know they go they call up these women don't push it don't push it you know don't don't rock the boat i mean this is corruption in all kinds of levels of life here and i think this is one of the most important thing that harry weinstein is the pig that's no news apparently it's not news that lot of people have known that for thirty years apparently but the news is is how they try to censor this out and people are willing to get to go along with it i find that truly shocking and really disappointing gina go ahead. yeah you know everybody in media wants to talk about collusion all the time right we're going to talk about collusion let's talk about the collusion between the democrat party and hollywood and the fact that hollywood is a lock stock and barrel in favor of democrats at every single turn let's talk about

the fact that weinstein gave almost seven hundred thousand dollars that we know of to democrats i don't think he gave any to republicans and now they try to cover it up by saying oh we're going to give it to charities to women's charities they gave thirty thousand dollars the d.n.c. thirty thousand dollars to emily's list emily's list is just a pro-abortion lobby basically that is not a charity for one thing and that's not giving the money away because it's going right back into leftist democrat coffers the exact same beneficiaries that have been benefiting from those like weinstein who everyone just shut up about like you pointed out even the media totally quiet because they like getting the money funneled to them from the hollywood elites so so there's no way to say this is on both sides like my friend rob over there said there's no way to say this is some both sides this is i mean isn't that the media's quite for the left hollywood gives

all their money to the left no the money the money and the power out of hollywood all goes to one side i don't think you'll dispute me on that the media being quiet on this they were never quiet on anything regarding trump where they go ahead rob in new york first of all let's not talk about individual politicians like trump got elected by the way despite his his comments to billy bush show. that it's. it's discussable right now what's more poor we're talking about the people outside of washington the power brokers not the individual politicians and there are power brokers on each side for each party you have the koch brothers on the left you could have wind or put the koch brothers on the right of weinstein on the left but they're always there it's not even to think that i have any design that i'm levein to have sex so misconduct. well i think also i'm a brother. but i think the koch brothers so that's a that's a fair issue but they don't run hollywood ok i mean hollywood is just an extension

of the democratic party that's what i see how i look at it ok i mean they've they're they would symbiotic ok i don't see any major forces on the right minus fox and fox is fifty percent against trump and the republicans these days ok so it's a pretty much stacked deck and i think that's when they bring in line and you know that's the another issue here is that you have the mainstream media the corporate media minus fox to some degree you have the democratic party and you have hollywood it's for me this is closing out taking the oxygen out of the room and only talk about things that interest them that's one of the problems here hollywood's a big part of the problem go ahead. now you're correct the focus is not on people being involved politically the pockets of the focuses is there a double standard let me repeat this again harvey weinstein penza deal interestingly enough with lisa bloom lisa bloom is that she is the daughter of the

feminist rights lawyer gloria all read the babe ruth of feminist lawyers and she signs a deal with harvey weinstein then she either is enlisted to help him or serve as his lawyer any his dealing with this now remember little conflict of interest the new york times the boards and others in fact the weinstein board get rid of her and harvey because they say you know lisa bloom not think about this are advocating discrediting witnesses women who com forward who dared to impugn the integrity now this is from a woman can you imagine if i good great dear friend rob just think about this and madge an if. or a trial lawyer or made new general manaf or do whatever they made the same thing not a dossier that was not but did just imagine there would be a

a free song for not a frothing fomenting volcano of activity cold bare camel saturday night live it would be nonstop but crickets crickets all right let me go to rob here gentlemen jury day come on we've got to give rob some oxygen here in the house how does this go a go forward here because you know when. harvey came out and he said he was sorry which was not kind of sorry at all the way i read it i appreciate it all talked about a cell he actually got to the bottom of this threw it away but he talked about himself as he's the victim in this is the left always does that always does that ok you know this is this is the problem here this is this politics of victimization and and i think that you know when he came out and said i'm going to make and i think i'm paraphrasing and i'll make a. and r.

a film you know if that kind of atones for this ok i mean and everyone whoa that's a good idea harvey that you know you got connections maybe you could make that i found that to be pathetic as well go ahead rob. i'm not defending harvey you're not his lawyer and you're not his lawyer go there everybody knows that but i think i think there were quick to condemn the whole industry and i think that they've made some missteps in terms of defending him and in fact he said and i was appalled by this that some of these these accusations may not be true and they obviously are all true i'm sure i'm sure there's going to be a lot worse that coming out. it's a complicated situation and it's very difficult for me to defend because and i'm not talking about harvey and i'm talking about the general behavior of the hollywood elite immunity over there was not a big fan of the emmys i turned it off it's hard to watch because i think they're

a bubble living within a bubble now how do you need to vomit bucket to watch that stuff ok gina let me go to you because for me oh it's absolutely ok rich people you know walking around with their their jewelry you know rattling around their neck and all that on their wrist i mean and then talking about how great and wonderful they are rich people get awards and they spit down at everybody else you can't even come they have security there oh they're really secure right there but when you go to another venue for a country music and you get shot up ok neither the elites protect themselves here jena that for me it's an indictment of the hollywood culture and mentality ok and you know i'm sick and tired of these so-called celebrities current ones or has been spewing about politics when they don't know jack about what they're talking about. and while they're disallowing any voice of the other side you know i was actually part of an organization inside of hollywood that had to hide it they had to be

underground and had to network with one another because they knew if they were ever found out they would be blackballed from hollywood you cannot have a differing opinion other than the straight up socialist mindset if you're part of hollywood and that is just a fact and yet the very politicians they support let's look what's come out of him we not only have weinstein we have anthony weiner we have bill clinton i mean the list goes on and on so when you really want to think about who the party is that champions women are which side of politics because most of us these days or even like to identify with the party it is not the left that is out there defending women it is conservatives who believe that women should be honored and held held in favor and that's what many of us on the conservative side would love to see people like rob advocating within their own ranks because they definitely need help

there is a hypocrisy there lol disagreeing with your doctor like you know obscene a hey look i don't agree with this guy rob beetroots two against one action against landline rob what rob go. i'm kind of flabbergasted at dr jean as a response that the conservatives on are women i mean ok let's attack harvey weinstein on the left a little bit here but let's not champion the right and make believe that they put women up on pedestals unfortunately there are guilty parties in both parties it's all about ok well you know on that point i have to agree with lionel here. man that put them so you have these powerful positions and i don't care what your political coloration is should be absolutely condemned obviously ok but what i take umbrage with is what political elites and media elites to make one man's sins worse than another that's what i take exception with leinil go ahead peter imagine

again the issue that we're speaking of is double standards not. the policies of the d.n.c. they are zero but imagine this assume argue i know for the sake of argument the following let's assume that was a a republican or a conservative version of meryl streep. who not only lauded encourage r.v. wind or kept your mouth shut but she would make you money everybody is making money and thirdly new about this but lauded in addition to that roman polanski now i'm just saying and i'm not going to argue the merits of. the question you asked very simply is is there a double standard the answer is yes and let me tell you who knows that mainstream america mainstream main street the people and they're also asking why did blade runner why is it crashing why is the new jet i movie why is hollywood freaking out because netflix and others are just destroying it they

need this right now like all of the ok hang on here is cool i know you let me do normal involved in a very good job let me give gina the last word on this program hopefully with her great powers of speaking she will stand warmth from florida all the way here to moscow go ahead thirty seconds. that really do my best i think that i think that you know it's a sort of punctuate the conversation that we've had we have to look at leaders in the democrat party like hillary clinton like the obama's who have yet to even make a statement about weinstein and imagine for a moment as lionel has pointed to if the shoe were on the other foot and this was donald trump and something had come out finally with any evidence behind it about donald trump would hillary clinton and the obama's be silent the answer is no that is the well i guess away so i guess just to everyone here will stand or we're going to move for a lot needs to be correct yet we're going to go from lock her up to lock him up i

suppose ok we've run out of time many thanks and i guess in new york and west palm beach and thanks to our viewers for watching us here dorothy see you next time and remember crosstalk rolls. we all willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but none of us signed up to be friggin poisoned by our own people of seeing stuff that was nuclear biological and chemical products the said do not truck tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene batteries trucks there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection between berm pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate every soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining

about illnesses from their exposure from the berm pits would really literally send a be a pro and they don't want to pay it so the way to the decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they will have to pay and. call for help and get the middle finger to move used to model is. delayed and i hope you die . that's. right.

how does it feel to be a sheriff the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job there is what business model helps to run a prison now we just do or don't like i said nobody you know visitation i don't no one comes in anymore we don't have to sergeant anymore is cost effective that's what they want to do that knowing they don't give a damn if you do the chores and that there are actually paying us to put them back into the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the us sam bridge what she could is behind such success. in case you're new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around corporate corporations run washington 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. headlines in r.t. france passes a new anti terror law which has sparked concerns it might be abused by the government and violate human rights. the suspects behind the mortgage the shoe blast which killed more than three hundred people on saturday may have carried out the attack in revenge for a us trade on his home village also the israel defense forces raid a number of media outlets in palestine which regularly work with global networks including r.t. authorities say it was part of a counterterrorism operation. out a lot of the.
