washington controls the media the media control over voters elected to businessman to run this country business equals power you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. the president said the existing state of emergency. which killed more than three hundred people. on his home village. israel defense forces raided a number of media. networks including. it was a heart. operation. four
2:01 pm
pm. here in moscow this international i mean only a welcome to the program our top story this hour huge protests against the terror group. to shoot with reports police firing. up the militant group.
2:02 pm
i. the primary theory being investigated at present is that the main suspect may have carried out the bombing in revenge for a raid on his home village that is according to local officials. explain. according to officials investigating saturday's mogadishu attack the bomber may have been taking revenge for a u.s. led operation that took place this past summer tragically saturday's attack has left over three hundred civilians dead making it the worst attack somalia has ever seen and also among the world's deadliest and it's and now known that saturday's bomber a former somali soldier was in fact from the same area targeted by the u.s. led raid back in august but now the august raid in question allegedly left civilians dead including women and children which prompted tribal leaders to call for revenge against the somali government as well as its allies but let's take
2:03 pm
a look at what a local deputy had to say about the incident. of these local farmers were attacked by foreign troops while looking after their crops among the dead children aged between eight and ten this is real genocide because they were innocent deliberately killed while on that. now for some context the somali government initially denied any civilian casualties which was only amended hours later furthermore u.s. africa had also stated it would be investigating the incident but until today we've yet to see any conclusions but nevertheless this is all a very interesting development as radicalization has long been linked to operations like the august raid and this could possibly be yet another case among several that we've come across director of the u.k. based amar what cough believes this suspect could have been easily radicalized after such a tragedy. this is a classic case where by you know someone who's lost the relative or
2:04 pm
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 the sense that you know 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. ok to another story making headlines not only in france but right around the world this hour because parliament in the country house passed a new anti terror law which guns increase powers to the security services being
2:05 pm
talked about for quite a while now it is helping the bills already sparked concerns it's going to reduce freedoms earlier i spoke to r.t. charlotte dubin ski about this she's been delving deeper into this story here's more. or about the measures that are contained in this anti-terrorism bill which will take effect now on november first that's when the state of emergency will end here in france this will give the security services why draft of new preventative measures to combat potential terror threats to france now let's have a look at some of those measures they include the ability for the police to have more ability to go in and search somebody's home they will have a raft of new powers which will give them greater ability to stop and search people on the streets if they think they're acting suspiciously it will also allow them to wiretap communications so that could be communications on your telephone or via
2:06 pm
e-mail and it will also allow them to close down places of worship such as mosques if they feel that there is a preacher who is preaching terrorist related material or trying to radicalize people as well as increasing the ability to put people under house arrest who are suspected of having any links to any type of terror organization now the architect of this law is president might call himself take a listen to what he had to say about it today because he did what office on a security. draft law on the reinforcement of internal security has been adopted by a parliamentary majority and will come into power on november the first when the state of emergency expires the state of emergency was effective however we've seen in recent months that it unfortunately doesn't protect us from the reality of certain attacks because any state of emergency can protect us and totally reduce the threat. president macron affirmed again today that the state of emergency had
2:07 pm
to fail to prevent many terror attacks in france and that he didn't feel that the measures in that state of emergency went far enough let's take a look at some of the attacks that slipped through the net under the watch of the state of emergency. well mr macron has spoken today about the new that will be implemented on november first the beefing up of these powers or are we discuss the controversial law with down delays brooke and independent political analyst and former m i five
2:08 pm
intelligence officer. the state of emergency was passed because of the appalling attacks but that was only seen to be for a limited time what nikon is doing is now codifying the same terms and putting it forever into french law i think they've expanded the stop and search powers around major transport hubs and also this idea that they can close down centers mosques places religious worship if there's hints of radicalization but there's no proof required for that closure and that is quite concerning as well because of course what is radicalization at the moment of course everyone in france is focused on the concept of islamic radicalization but what if that term spreads what if there is mission creep so that someone who protests against the government is deemed to be a radical and you know their work may close down if you don't deal with the root causes which is the brutal foreign policy on the one hand and then the alienation of entire communities due to your system out against discrimination and racism on
2:09 pm
the other hand if you're not going to deal with those even the most vicious police state will not be able to stop. being some people who decide to lash out unfortunately you're never going to be able to keep your population one hundred percent safe because your whole foreign policy is about certain fire to two other countries. to another headline stories it's really defense forces have raided a number of media outlets in palestine claiming they've been inciting terror we spoke earlier to a local journalist you know you'll sure whose interview. 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 and two palestinian suspects
2:10 pm
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
2:11 pm
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. . u.s. forces in syria have declared victory over islamic state in iraq claiming the city which was known as the terror group the facto capital is now fully under their control donald trump said the city had been liberated thanks to him specifically in changing the rules of engagement of the u.s. military by totally change rules of engagement i totally changed our military. attitudes of the military and they have done
2:12 pm
a change. is now giving up they're giving up they're raising their hands they're walking off nobody's ever seen that before and they're going to be for. president well these are the latest pictures we have from iraq essentially a virtual ghost city the destruction here was caused by their eyes on militias shelling or strikes 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 states the city is still only ninety percent clear advice on a spokesman for the u.n. secretary general say it 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 council traditions permitted. well i will
2:13 pm
claim that so named caliphate capital in twenty fourteen the first major offensive against the terrorist began two years after that it was serious sixth largest city but now 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 rocket was
2:14 pm
destroyed by coalition aircraft only ten percent hit their targets the rest hit civilians. the u.n. estimates that's an average of twenty seven people are being killed in rocket every day. and they seem to be no real escape for these civilians their level of suffering friends relatives family of the children essentially. just kind of struggling. all to discuss the situation in the city let's cross live now to syrian writer abdul for his take you're very welcome to the program if we could maybe concentrate just for a moment on trump's statement that we just heard is he right to claim it was his change to u.s. rules of engagement that led to this for want of
2:15 pm
a better word success with the the evening. it's last evening was something amusing and actually he may think so or he may want people to think so we know we know that. he. pushed the. death or the defeat of isis forward by letting the syrian state. its job when he signed. the treaty or. is one of the escalation or the conflicts in drawn in in south of syria whether in two months. syrian desert was recovered by the syrian army allies of course one. of the russian air.
2:16 pm
power. from that moment on it was a momentum for the syrian state against. the saw call. or whatever so if he wants to claim. credit for this yes he. he sure has the feel by letting the syrian state by letting the russian force do their job the latest pictures as we're looking at talking to. seem to show rock simply a city reduced to rubble devastation from information that perhaps you've seen or know about what is the situation in the city like first of all let's remind our viewers the. coalition led
2:17 pm
by america. is not operating according to. legal grounds nor do they have agreements with the syrian states nor do they have approval of the international community through the you on order and security council. and contrary to many people to what many people think we checking on the ground and we are seeing that this is a systematic systematic cleansing. of the of the city that there's not there's not around on head thing they know that they are hitting schools all of the schools they are hitting hospitals and all of them the schools and hospitals were serving the syrian people and for free. on the on the because maybe they want. to take the
2:18 pm
gains awfully busy being the city. they were colonized and not the liberators so essentially we've got about thirty seconds left one of the things we're constantly hearing. accusations that the u.s. led coalition where we're not specific enough in their targets on the earth strikes on the city because there were so many civilians being shielded with terrorists there what's your take on that just briefly if you will please. mention they were specific in targeting the civilians you can make a mistake one day maybe another day but you cannot keep on making mistakes every day for the past four and a half months they have been there once or they have been targeting civilians and they know that by this way they were to try to change the demographic. status of.
2:19 pm
syrian write her. alive on our to international thank you. have held a silent protest in madrid parliament demanding the release of two cattle on independence leaders who were detained on monday night now they stirred up during the parliament session and held up signs in support of the per. hour a lot of that. but it didn't stop there. the congress leader repeatedly tried to call the m.p.'s toward him until they finally took their seats meanwhile madrid still trying to pressure the catalan leader into clarifying whether he has actually declared independence or not. it's
2:20 pm
not difficult. to get their demand to the catalan government as their demand expires amendment twenty four hour. a quick reminder of monday's events to catalan independence leaders were arrested for the key rules they played in organizing the referendum one of them is the leader of the national assembly the other is the president off an organization that promotes language and culture since then spain seen a wave of protest. for that. i. was.
2:21 pm
well the take of jonathan shall free from the radical independence campaign is that the e.u. should step in to protect catalonia from further oppression at the hands of madrid she from spain to the people who are demanding their democratic really says that they're going to continue the kind of method of oppression they're going to continue to try and coups tone democratic structures around the question of independence but the big question the speech for democrats right across is whether or not they're going to stand up with a north 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 on except the bill and that they support the right of self-determination for cuts looms. nigh china's president house mean aren't lining his future plans for the country during an epic three hour address to the national congress of the communist party xi
2:22 pm
jinping touched on many topics including military expansion. judicial military must regard combat capability as the standard its needs 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 and my progress in combat readiness in both traditional and new security fields while speeches like this one take place every five years more than two thousand delegates from iran china where in attendance the main aim of the she addressed was to line the challenges the country faces and to point out the areas that need work especially under long believe the president in very pressing issues. he's rallying the chinese people and the company's party to make china great again as it were creating better lives with his people and
2:23 pm
defending the country against any perceived threats. of his sovereignty and particularly he also highlighted the fact that. entering into a year of great uncertainties i mean looking around the world there are perceive this options threats you have a new president. and what was happening all the time to see china opening up its economy relative terms but tara is unlikely to copy the examples of other countries i mean less of all i mean the former collapse. of the former us as our time to learn a big lesson and it's going to go about it from texturally feeling in crossing the river as it were but there is no doubt that nowadays as economy is small compared with a couple of decades ago. a russian lawyer sparked a media frenzy earlier this year after it emerged she met with team trump during
2:24 pm
the us election they tell you need sky's meeting with trump jr was seen by many as clear proof of russian meddling and collusion donald trump think he was about to get help from a russian lawyer with ties to the kremlin we all know her name now and tell us about sky italia natalya vessel needs sky this is looking more and more like treason all these strange behavior from the president it's all explained. well now she's back in the spotlight for a media fund and released her memo of a meeting and it mentioned nothing about trump dirt on his rival hillary clinton as well as previously claimed according to her notes that's how he wanted to discuss sanctions imposed by the u.s. on a new. russian officials they were being punished over the death in custody of surrogate magnitsky who worked for a moscow law firm been investigating mass corruption in russia she says she wanted
2:25 pm
to prove the sanctions were politically motivated and that was the purpose of something just to make it clear i was never against any sanctions because they don't involve my client but i'm against manipulating facts i'm against how these storage fees haven't investigated the story behind the make the ski act what happened in the u.s. must pure politics. as with malice i personally gave this memo to the journalists 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 our learned i shared with police and american lawyers this memo was the result of my own investigation surrogate mark netsky work for the hermitage capital management fund he died in the pre trial of the tension center in two thousand and nine while he was being held over tax evasion claims the u.s. accuses the number of russian officials of complicity in his death and impose
2:26 pm
sanctions against them authorities have denied any wrongdoing in the case but even the newly published memo hasn't a raise suspicion but tell you a vessel in the sky is a kremlin agent some media outlets claim the documents language resembles another memo how the two u.s. congressmen by russia's prosecutor general that's the nice guys say if there's nothing suspicious but out either. what this prof keep hearing it sure does 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 to me you look at 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 well more on the story can be found on our website r t v dot com among
2:27 pm
a letter of other stories affecting your world today this is art. but don't walk sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles they're going. to do so to try to tell you that the gossip the tabloids by. the author of advertising tell you that you are not cool enough to buy their product. all the hawks that we all. want. in case you're new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington washington controls the media the
2:28 pm
media the. voters elect the businessman to run this country business equals. boom bust it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. i've.
2:29 pm
been. i'm actually retired they were going underground today as the u.n. security council debates the ongoing bombing of yemen by british backed saudi forces is that the killing wounding or displacement of over three million people coming up in the show how did the elites betray britain award winning author and daily mail sketch writer quintin let's lays into what he calls the patronize to
2:30 pm
rule the u.k. in the now finally getting their comeuppance and after this week's hurricane ophelia and trump speech on the run will it be climate change or nuclear war that gets us we ask legendary science communicator dr called don't 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 as we govern emblem of austerity to bailout the banks resumes 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 credits it's a next step in our journey a journey to a welfare state that gives people the help that they need but does not trust them
2:31 pm
independence. a welfare state that believes we have to support that one but that simply signing a check is not a no 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 you case erdy to understand what it is passwords apparently are 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 pujols 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.
2:32 pm
so people like us need to voice stand up everybody and stop it 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 let's argues that the people have had enough quentin welcome to going underground so perhaps realizing busted 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
2:33 pm
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 while glimmer of hope for the people you mention is the death of the first 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 flag over 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 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
2:34 pm
are in how do they use border. revolution board a 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
2:35 pm
we've had what we had was that i had a turnip on a bicycles are not that and it's just. ludicrous modern art has become to completely to tell us what they said about the pressure is that but if he does their power one 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 and 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 says this 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
2:36 pm
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 statements or just corporate buy the yacht and they talk about these corporations i mean even british aerospace which is a manufacturer has a mission statement about its values. that's very useful as a base are 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 the actual will of us 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 we're still talking about if we're going to be
2:37 pm
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 but people have 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 the b.b.c. programs were obviously being 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 people the governors of the b.b.c. a 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
2:38 pm
connections they've known members of them 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 you've got to be a member of an approved cast really it's no longer class it's quite wrong to think about britain being run 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 i know about is britain so endemic do you really think that the these new developments are signalling 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 a global this illegal drug lobel commission i think it's a little commission on drugs which richard branson has global commission he point he appoints the people and says we are a commission what is what 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 called them
2:39 pm
they are 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 the terrible man. richard branson on 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. telling them how to solve their problems well how did he do that should be a question for the people of those countries and donald trump had 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 governors absolutely vital and then on top of it all they also try and take religion away
2:40 pm
from those that see it as a comfort and their family sounding like a terrible oh. there's 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 course i like it 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 cathedrals 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 scientifically provable ok well we have to ask you this question you know you are a minority or basically you're welcome to. as much as you want you don't hear the lord rather me or your editor paul dacre they know to lead. what i am a very rich on i oversee and they're powerful in some ways but i don't think that
2:41 pm
patronizing. just on the business side of things but paul dacre is the opposite. it is tell me about finally about this patrick. does the brakes and vote and even cool but does it mean that that plus 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 a 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 like you after the break one of the world's greatest science communicators dr called tells us where we can escape to in
2:42 pm
the event of a trump nuclear war unfold the headlines will reveal double standards over the nation's health secretary who could be asking walk in patients to take a hike. through of going underground. the us economy is dead because competition is dead because free markets are dead because free money is being given to the lords and oligarchs and there is no small to medium enterprise arriving in america to create the jobs and real wages and g.d.p. growth that would pay down the debt and or increase success and failure
2:43 pm
of a thriving economy and we see that in the volatility and. welcome back it's not the threat of climate change evidenced in a very rare address atlantic hurricane affecting europe that learned wildfires killing schools 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 feel through it and put into language that people can understand such as for example. coffee can help you have
2:44 pm
a really good nap so we let explains this along with me well you see we live in a society where we no longer have enough people working longer hours and so god having a nap 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 the alarm 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 would be able to news about north korea in the united states what will it feel like if have a nuclear bomb goes off here in the world from one single nuclear weapon. 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
2:45 pm
plus in long term things that's when the problems with nuclear power nuclear weapons are certainly doing one hundred eighty here during the period governments were saying stop doing research in what seems as a tearing up of subjects go for profit driven sons research is an 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 its efficient ruthlessly efficient ruthlessly can be a problem and that's why i love government because government has governance and has the medium view and the long term view and working together one keeping an eye
2:46 pm
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 subject in a good way they have to have both one has proved the idea that there's a climate change and one against this idea as if that my thinking and 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 which god put there and he 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
2:47 pm
regard to global warming in not a seventy three it's a long time ago munich re the world's largest range surance company was already factoring climate change or global warming or greenhouse effect as they called it back then in their insurance premiums. in one thing late seventies i started reading about it knowing that he wanted to my first story and saying well maybe it's real maybe it's not the insurance companies think so they saw it just need more proof not a 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 thing the pages of a tabloid the next year the pretty empty movie kicking in the e-mails 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 are people who do understand was doing themselves down by saying things
2:48 pm
like oh it's getting hotter this summer it was 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 within. a matter of heat equal to the explosion of four hundred thousand hiroshima bombs and 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 all he did not is three percent of that goes into the oceans and the oceans in the lower levels. the higher levels of heating up but also had missions from space showing that there is a less amount of heat living it is how much less a four hundred thousand hiroshima bombs per day during space exploration quite apart from 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
2:49 pm
a lump of rock six hundred meters in diameter mistress there was one not so recently. and he got it if it had impacted on us it would have destroyed immediately in the first go some. 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 under the earth misses we had three weeks warning we've got to become a space going right i think there are grounds for thinking that as the human as intelligent life in the universe gets to a certain stage it also gets to the stage where you can wipe itself out and we're going to get through that and i think we can i want the 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 late maybe just for the one percent to really be able to
2:50 pm
afford to go to every world 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 certainly certain has life into cells and seven cassini spacecraft after seventy a trip inserted itself into orbit around that many solar system that is saturn the ring planet with a whole bunch of moons and as it came in this sort of pitch buckshot a little fine particles and they were called the data but i had bigger fish to fry like the rings of saturn and tartan and then i went back and i looked at this buckshot and i thought these are rocks fall four to eight a nine i'm eight is in diameter and iraq's i 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
2:51 pm
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 but a show of ice water is not covered also as the water ice and coming out through holes in the every second from the south pole is one quarter of a ton of water carrying the multitudes of life carbon dioxide methods that are formaldehyde and also these tiny rocks in the same way that i am of floors of our oceans only. 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 colonies of last another 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
2:52 pm
into the science little be needed when we get this 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 hundred 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 parents so you have influence so i have to have no power so kids they should ration stuff sharing the t.v. they go into politics and do good things for your children don't you girl thank you and your monitor here. well for the end of the world to learn video
2:53 pm
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 get leaks about of our papers whistleblower terrible tragic bombing of a car killing this week but i should say when it comes journalism good work for the murdoch times appearing to allege foreign office collusion with the regulator of this show going underground on this channel t 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 criticism you were a government censor you do the same thing let's go to the times as a t.v. network fox news well 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
2:54 pm
complicated link apparently russia has tried to play book 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. reelection you have made it good for 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 tourism is help for al-qaeda linked rebels in syria let's go to the tragic story we've chosen the qatari news channel al-jazeera here double standards why aren't we all with somalia this is in relation
2:55 pm
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've told. 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.
2:56 pm
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 probably there are nothing at all as we 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
2:57 pm
not be a priority if they can walk the guardian reports gerry 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 letters saying get better don't waste time on the health service male or good thinking that then if the eleven take the right. of it i think a lot of people out there watching will will see that as a small price to nominate a big thank you and that's it for the show we'll see you on saturday when we all see whether this week's unprecedented detection of a neutron star collision creating gravity waves could be used by the pentagon to
2:58 pm
kill people till then keep it up by social media was here on saturday sixty one years to the day british troops captured one of nelson mandela's heroes the kenyan independence meta data entry muffy before executing him at a time when thousands were tortured and abused by the british joining them out of my uprising.
2:59 pm
that. i. thought. this is how. the economy is.
3:00 pm
business. it's not business is business like it's never been. no longer. the. number of media. operation.
3:01 pm
just after five pm. thursday october. we begin in france where the parliament the new law which increased powers to the security services but it's already sparked concerns that it will reduce freedoms are. being delving deeper into the story for us. well we know much more about the measures that are contained in this anti-terrorism bill which will take effect now or november first that's when the state of emergency will end here in france this will give the security services why draft of new preventative measures to combat potential terror threats to france now let's have
3:02 pm
a look at some of those measures they include the ability for the police to have more ability to go in and search somebody's home they will have a raft of new powers which will give them greater ability to stop and search people on the street if they think they're acting suspiciously it will also allow them to wiretap communications so that it could be communications on your telephone or via e-mail and it will also allow them to close down places of worship such as mosques if they feel that there is a preacher who is preaching terrorist related material or trying to radicalize people as well as increasing the ability to put people under house arrest who are suspected of having any links to any type of terror organization now the architect of this law is president might call himself take a listen to what he had to say about it today because you didn't want to secure the anti terror draft law on the reinforcement of the internal security has been adopted by a parliamentary majority and will come into power on november the first when the
3:03 pm
state of emergency expires the state of emergency was effective however we've seen in recent months that it unfortunately doesn't protect us from the reality of certain attacks because any state of emergency can protect us and totally reduce the threat. president macron affirmed again today that the state of emergency had failed to prevent many terror attacks in france and that he didn't feel that the measures in that state of emergency went far enough let's take a look at some of the attacks that slipped through the net under the watch of the state of emergency.
3:04 pm
well mr macron has spoken today about the new that will be implemented on november first the beefing up of these powers for security services but he said it's not just that it's enough he said that security services must be working together must be communicating instantaneously be much more rigorous in how they approach any threats of terror now civil liberties groups and human rights organizations have criticized this law now for many months many believing that this will erode civil liberties in france and the reality is it will erode some civil liberties but it will not guarantee that it will provide any more security to the citizens of france than the state of emergency has we put some of the main concerns of the controversial law to down the glazebrook an independent political analyst and former m i five intelligence officer on the machine on. the state of emergency was
3:05 pm
passed because of the appalling attacks but that was only seem to be for a limited time what nikon is doing is now codifying the same terms and putting it forever into french law i think they've expanded the stop and search powers around major transport hubs and also this idea that they can close down centers mosques places religious worship if there's hints of radicalization but there's no proof required for that closure and that is quite concerning as well because of course what is radicalization at the moment of course everyone in france is focused on the concept of islamic radicalization but what if that term spreads what if there is mission creep so that someone who protests against the government is deemed to be a radical and you know their work may close down if you don't deal with the root causes which is the brutal foreign policy on the one hand and then the alienation of entire communities due to your system out against discrimination and racism on
3:06 pm
the other hand if you're not going to deal with those even the most vicious police state will not be able to stop. being some people who decide to to lash out unfortunately you're never going to be able to keep your population one hundred percent safe because your whole foreign policy is about certain fire to two other countries. here to another of the big stories of the day huge protests against the terror group al-shabaab have broken in ma good issue with reports that police have been firing live rounds are protesters it followed claims by officials that the militant group could be behind saturday's brutal bombing of the somali capital. i. was.
3:07 pm
well the main theory being investigated at present is that the chief suspect may have carried out the bombing in revenge for a raid on his home village that is according to local officials. explains cording to officials investigating saturday's mogadishu attack the bomber may have been taking revenge for a u.s. led operation that took place this past summer tragically saturday's attack has left over three hundred civilians dead making it the worst attack somalia has ever seen and also among the world's deadliest and it's now known that saturday's bomber a former somali soldier was in fact from the same area targeted by the u.s. led raid back in august but now the august raid in question allegedly left civilians dead including women and children which prompted tribal leaders to call for revenge against the somali government as well as its allies but let's take a look at what a local deputy had to say about the incident this is one of these local farmers
3:08 pm
were attacked by foreign troops while looking after their crops among the dead children aged between eight and ten this is real genocide because they were innocent deliberately killed while on that. now for some context the somali government initially denied any civilian casualties which was only amended hours later furthermore u.s. africa had also stated it would be investigating the incident but until today we've yet to see any conclusions but nevertheless this is all a very interesting development as radicalization has long been linked to operations like the august raid and this could possibly be yet another case among several that we've come across. well journalist and author of dell darwish sees the large amount of explosives used on saturday demonstrates a clear failure by the government to fight terror until. i have not actually been sponsibility all the law i've seen other reports just think it could be the ship or
3:09 pm
even worse by the amount of the loss of huge so people have access to this kind of explosion and planning it means weakness in fighting terrorism it was always better to say. sorry we made a mistake we're going to carry an investigation rather than denying. every scene very poor. through the result is people get very angry would be the recruiting sergeant for this still a great deal of incompetence and part of the world so whether it's incompetence or whether it is indifference towards actually happening it's not a good sign i mean the way things are built with the quicker justice is seen to be done the better you are void this kind of revenge attacks in the future. is really defense forces have raided a number of media outlets in palestine claiming they've been inciting terror we
3:10 pm
spoke earlier to local journalist you'll sure is 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 rum sought and transmedia were 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 in 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
3:11 pm
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 recognize the state of israel and renounce 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 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 paul media is associated with the b.b.c. c.n.n. and r.t.
3:12 pm
. well for more on this on the light of the say we can bring in a mirror or and i'm yours a political analyst from the how to read news paper always welcome israel for there are parts of your said that the operation was against two channels on suspicion of inciting violence and providing information to hamas are the raids there for justified. a little bit of problem with their son with amir we will try and get back to him because we want to hear his point of view on this story we'll try and get back to him your very shortly. ok u.s. box forces in syria have declared victory over islamic state in claiming the city which was known as the terror group's defacto capital is fully under their control but here's the part donald trump said the city had been liberated thanks to him and
3:13 pm
the ideas he implemented i totally change rules of engagement i totally changed our military i totally change the attitudes of the military and they have done a change is just is now giving up giving up their raising their hands or walking off nobody's ever seen that before and they're going to be sure. because you didn't have trump as your president well this is the situation as it stands the latest pictures from iraq as you can see virtually of the destruction was caused by either eisel on militias shelling or strikes 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 states the city is still only ninety percent clear of a spokesman for the u.n. secretary general says aid is ready and waiting. we have received reports said much of the city has been damaged or destroyed due to the fighting we're closely
3:14 pm
monitoring the situation and stand by to deliver lifesaving assistance to those in need as soon as access is granted and security council traditions permitted while i still have claimed iraq as its own name caliphate capital in twenty fourteen the first major offensive against the terrorists began two years after that it was syria sixth largest city but now it's little more than rubble. recently called nation after losses were ready to demolish the whole building to target one member of isis they have no problem killing civilians. we ran from death
3:15 pm
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 and craft only ten percent hit their targets the rest hit civilians. the u.n. estimates that's an average of twenty seven people are being killed in iraq every day. and they seem to be no real in this case for these civilians their level of suffering friends relatives family of the children essentially. it's kind of staggering. sarah leah whitson from the middle east and north africa division of human rights watch sais the situation in the city right now is critical. we have very little information on this humanitarian relief teams are only now beginning to arrive
3:16 pm
there has been a disruption in the wonder supply the pollution of because of course the area was under siege for such a long time there is a severe allow medical services medical care hospitals that are functioning severe lack a lot of course and so there is a massive massive humanitarian need on the ground. ok we're going to return to one of our headlines stories now about of really defense forces reading a number of media outlets in palestine claiming that they have been citing terror as you can imagine the palestinian media saying is the opposite they have been the target of a series of raids for some time now by israeli forces for more on this let's bring in a mirror or in a mirror we tried to speak to a little bit earlier a little bit of a silent issue good to have you back on the program amir is
3:17 pm
a political analyst from the rets newspaper yet for their part israel said the operation was against two channels on suspicion of inciting violence and providing information to hamas are the raids there for a justified. well you know the terms of very very big what is incitement there is a double standard of course where you have democracy and free speech people can call for resistance or for opposing certain government or research and policy but do you police tinian territories not free they are occupied and administered by israel and therefore do you really forces can do what they did overnight it will now whether there was a specific call to go out and kill innocent civilians if the authorities have
3:18 pm
proof of that they will probably presented a court but it seems to be off a broader picture in which israel wants to in directly help mahmoud abbas the president of the police authority and the arrival of hamas by trying to close down some of these outlets well which belong to come out yet it's more complicated then than israel and the palestinians well yeah well not just for they take of the palestinian authorities they say that the sabotage i guess the very media exposing quote occupation crimes in your opinion how solid are those concerns. well you know this is the middle east and not every official announcement that you hear really reflects what is going on behind the scenes it seems to see if mahmoud abbas the president of the palestinian authority right now has been
3:19 pm
victorious over indy reconsideration talks he doesn't want to waste this victory and it seems as if israel and a bus are cooperating against hamas the raid sparked protests and clashes between palestinians and police but the i.d.f. say is that the raids they are going to continue are we looking at more violence and increased tension in the region because of this it is not reasonable proposition to guess that this particular incident will cause an escalation in violence it seems more like another bleeped on the right or. powell media one of the companies they have experience i.d.f. raids before i believe back in twenty fourteen and then earlier in the summer this year is force the only thing israel can use in such
3:20 pm
a situation what about the courts. yes of course this is the regular path through which the government should proceed but apparently they don't want to be late tactics and go through because they want some immediate results but it's a cat and mouse game they would reopen the outlets especially because they are also servicing your own channel as well as the b.b.c. and others israel doesn't want to close with all of these media and we will see another act in display. very soon yeah we'll be keeping track of it thank you very much for coming the program giving us your take i'm your or and political analyst from the house rats news paper in israel. spanish m.p.'s have held
3:21 pm
a silent protest in the trades parliament demanding the release of two council on independence leaders who were detained on monday night they stood up during the parliament session and held up signs in support of the per. hour a lot of that. but it didn't lock up their listening audience sinewy yes let them of course have never thought of it i mean he had a congress leader there repeatedly tried to call the m.p.'s to water until they finally stopped on and on the trade still trying to pressure the council on leader into clarifying whether he's actually declared the region separate from spain. it's not difficult it's just a simple question have you declared the independence of cuts alone you are not have a good image that the month of the catalan government is firm that demand expires amendment twenty four hour. it just a reminder of what transpired earlier this week to council on independence leaders
3:22 pm
were arrested for the key rules they played in organizing the referendum one of them is the leader of the council on national assembly the other the president of an organization that promotes council on language and culture since then spain seen a wave of protests thought think it is i think yes i was. and we've been getting a lot of reaction on this including from jonathan shall free from the radical independents come pain he believes the you should step in to protect castle near from further oppression of the homes of great. i think this sends a message from spain to the people who are demanding their democratic really that
3:23 pm
they're going to continue the kind of method of oppression they're going to continue trying to stone democratic structures around the question of independence but the big question. for democrats right across europe 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 spin that the international community feigns its behavior on except the bill and that they support the right of self-determination for cuts. to asia where china's president has been i'd lining his future plans for the country during a three hour address to the national congress of the communist party xi jinping touched on many topics including military expansion. must regard combat capability as the standard it's meat in all its work and focus on how to win when it is called

hollywood elites present themselves to be the champions of virtue and liberal values the same elites have found common cause with the left part of the political spectrum the harvey weinstein scandal presents a very different picture a truly ugly picture will hollywood now face up to its own hypocrisy. cross talking hollywood hypocrisy i'm joined by my guest rob how big new york he is a political pundit and journalist contributing to the huffington post also in new york we have lionel he is a legal analyst and news decoder at leinil media dot com and in west palm beach we cross to dr gina loudon she is a psychology expert and host of america trends with dr gina all right in fact that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it why no let me go to you first i've been watching you on social media you've been covering this topic

a locker dog and it meant nothing to people talking not in front of women not in front of jodi but privately ok cut to the chase they wanted to use that as the group of a human for their indictment to happen not only in the eligible for president but impeached and the like ok cut to this pig harvey weinstein that they knew for years was involved in sexual predators should have women he could have had the woman he wanted just by saying you want a part but he didn't want that he wanted the power ok now what happens is when it comes to the fore a polluting lisa bloom his advocate get a woman who supposedly what is that is the daughter of laurie already who basically was going to describe the woman ok one when there stan is on the lie when they're you know what's in a ringer all of a sudden they look the other way ok all right let me tell you i can do that and
3:34 pm
call it like that but i don't average a live and let me pull in rob here quite simply are there double standards here i mean the rich look at bill o'reilly look at bill clinton i mean and all the other bills you know it seems you know that they. thank you it seems to me that the reaction is really quite one sided and why is that is it because people like harvey weinstein are there their donors their connections with the clintons and the obama's and the fact is that a lot of stories were covered up over the last decade or so i mean we know this has been a cover up i mean again the double standard go ahead rob in new york. 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
3:35 pm
and they're on both sides but to say that the right is squeaky clean and. i'm not saying that you know what 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 that they 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 little 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 gina. 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
3:36 pm
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 there is a moral bankruptcy in hollywood has spread of much of television to jane it is
3:37 pm
a money and power base of the democrat party ok they did james wood might be joining you pretty soon because he is quite hollywood because a 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 the left isn't 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 lionel exhibit a. exhibit a lauren michaels executive prelate pate that has rome of as sydell was confirmed did add an after hours party said hey why didn't you mention avi weinstein and he said
3:38 pm
this is a new york thing you know peter this is this antimony and theory of theirs 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 conversation to people alone thinking they weren't being recorded and it would be used in few terro 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 ferial these are serious observation accusations the same group by the way that when bill clinton was included in this people of the other way and hillary clinton just
3:39 pm
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 some. 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
3:40 pm
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 here i thought about hell it had been in the lobby assess corporate alien 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
3:41 pm
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 an endemic in in this business for so long and they are getting their comeuppance and i think they pushed it a little bit join 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 and then 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.
3:42 pm
we all willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but none of us signed up to be free again 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 these 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 burn pits would really literally send a be a pro and they don't want to pay it so the way to the decades
3:43 pm
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 their views too mild is. delayed and i hope you die. horn dogs may not only be tasty but also. the relationship between kids it was suggested. and a fairly strong one there were two thousand. volt in the study it's a very extensive study done by a well respected scientist. do chemicals that down the advertising really increase the risk of cancer and i chose the means are known to infuse damage in the launch into a sham that skepticism. that this is true by
3:44 pm
independent scientists so did the industry and you for this i received some compensation for my time as well as the others why is that the meta lobby definitely didn't like what we were doing and if you want to learn more you'll get a definite on see flooding you are only here do not go back to. big business against health. this is starting to show. all. in safety. welcome back across the uk where all things considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing hollywood hypocrisy.
3:45 pm
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 you like you merely eight themselves if that's what you want to do to get ahead in life i feel i actually more sorry for you and at the same time i think the quality of the tower. and hollywood is really you know it's a swamp i mean i don't think they present value is 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 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 but 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 the you know
3:46 pm
we 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 the 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
3:47 pm
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 the 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 on both sides this is i mean isn't this the media is 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 even 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
3:48 pm
in new york first of all let's not talk about individual politicians like drunk got elected by the way despite his his comments to billy bush oh i don't even think 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 easy to think that a seven hundred eighty is on one level of sexual misconduct. well i think also i'm a brother just ahead of me but i think the koch brothers so that's a good 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
3:49 pm
a pretty much stacked deck and i think that's the age 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 these she is the daughter of the feminist rights lawyer gloria all read the babe ruth of lawyers and she signs a deal with harvey weinstein then she either is enlisted to help them
3:50 pm
or serves 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 come from 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. trump. lawyer i make no gender matter for do whatever they exactly the same thing not a dossier that was far fetched no but did just imagine there would be a fly free song for not a frothing fomenting volcano of activity cold bare camel saturday night
3:51 pm
live it would be nonstop but crickets crickets all right let me go to wrong 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 out of 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 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 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 bob. i'm not defending harvey anyway if
3:52 pm
you're not his lawyer and you're not his lawyer going to everybody knows that and 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 unity 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 a volume that bucket to watch that stuff ok gina let me go to you because for me now it's absolutely ok rich people you know what walking around with their their
3:53 pm
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 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
3:54 pm
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 don't 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 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 lawyers are agreeing with you well doctor do you know obs a hey look i don't agree with this guy robbie treats two against one action against landline rob what rob go. i'm kind of flabbergasted
3:55 pm
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 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 but imagine this assume argue i know for the sake of argument the following let's assume that was a a republican or
3:56 pm
a conservative version of meryl streep. who not only lauded encouraged r.v. wind or kept her mouth shut but she would make you money everybody is making money and certainly knew about this but lauded in addition to that roman polanski now i'm just saying and i'm not going to argue that marriage 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 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
3:57 pm
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 long interview correctly and 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 at r.t.c. you next time and remember crosstalk rolls.
