i'm. happy. the headlines the silent traits of powerless for the police also as controversial new on to tyra legislation and trying many of its existing emergency security measures and. the suspect behind a blast in somalia's long the dishy which killed over three hundred people in sauce they may have carried out the attack in revenge for a u.s. raid on his own village. and israel defense forces raid a number of media outlets in palestine which regularly with local clubs including all authorities say was part of a counterterrorism operation. you can find out all about those stories on. the back

of the news and in the meantime tossed questions by the hundreds and leads only to the beacons of virtue they often seem to present themselves as. oh and welcome to crossfire where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle hollywood elites present themselves to be the champions of virtue and liberal values the same alito 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 pockets.

across 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 lionel 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 line to let me go to you first i've been watching you on social media you've been covering this topic quite extensively. the thing that i draw from it is i understand what people do in hollywood ok people it buy and sell themselves ok i don't think that's a really big story but i what i really so totally disappointed with but probably also expected is that you know when they when you're on the right side of the

barricade you're vilified you're destroyed you're buried you're forgotten but if you're friends of the powers that be the elites you give almost a free pass people oh i didn't know about it it's terrible ok and then they let it go it's so unfair and it is such a double standard go ahead lionel. and two thousand and five this brain trust called and i disagree they are not the left they are not liberals are not progressive they're just hollyweird but in two thousand five years ago they resurrected at conversation a private conversation between then donald trump and billy bush added was called a locker dog and it meant nothing to people talking not in front of women not in front of judge but privately ok cut to the chase they wanted to use that as the group of amun for their indictment to happen not only is that logical for

a 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 any 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 clothing lisa bloom his advice get a woman who supposedly what is that is the daughter of laurie already who basically was going to describe a 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 i call it like that but i will stab you to live and let me pull and rob here quite simply are there double standards here i mean there is a look at the 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 that 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 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 to what i'm saying is that 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 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 well much of television to jane it is a money and power base of the democrat party ok they did james would be joining you pretty soon because he is quite hollywood because he was is he believed he was discriminated against blacklisted because he was a conservative you know one of the things that's happened over the last few weeks the late night show hosts i guess that there is zeus sitting up there in their

summit here i looked because i don't find them funny and 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 confronted add an after hours party said hey why didn't you mention avi weinstein and he said this is a new york thing you know peter this is this antimony inferi 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 of conversation to people alone thinking they weren't being recorded and it would be used in future oh twelve years later if that's what you're going to do if you're going to hold him up to that standard then when you have this rapacious hollywood who by the way this isn't the casting couch we're not talking about unwanted advances or mr lowe ferial these are serious observation accusations the same group by the way that when bill clinton was included in this people look the other way and hillary clinton just denied it these are the same as you would say liberal or progressive who had this breathtakingly enco haired woman's march with people walking around with foam rubber pudenda and actually. actually judge who spoke who was herself the victim of harvey who was there and i guess when she said is it ok is

a close clear ok now here i come look all we're saying for it is very simply that ok a good protection. is what you're going to let me go back to 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 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 a leinil. sound of a thesaurus stuffed a deep into my jacket it's sort of what i love listening to when i play i have to go to look up words constantly i'm learning

a lot from you i'm going to go i want to give you all a quick anecdote about three years ago i got overly horatio rochelle it had been a lobbyist sesquipedalian isms and polished a lot of metaphors i was in the lobby of the beverly hills hotel and i heard someone screaming and i thought perhaps that someone was hurt or in trouble and i came walking over and there was a man on a cell phone were ratings whoever was on the other end with obscenities it just it was behavior that was pure oil was a good one little in any way a high school kid couldn't do this and it was harvey weinstein and i remember walking away thinking my god how does this guy get away with this i mean anybody else would have been carted out of here where the beverly hills police department and shackled so yes this has been pervasive pervasive and demick 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. here's what people have been saying about redacted in the senate it's full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to find you know what it is that really

packs the punch. yampa is the john oliver of party americans do the same we are apparently better than booth. and see people you never heard of love redacted tonight was the president of the world bank so they can go right many seriously send us an email. colin is still exist. rico's treated as one. hundred forty three cool as you can i know a lot of. the island is controlled by the us government and some puerto ricans crave independence journal it was the only kind i you know it was. good at either way but i mean sort of what i mean we're digging a game there are. still many do wish to join the us hundreds

more leave every day. along if amini. beings. with the country at a crossroads for anger on the island is on the rise. welcome back to cross talk where all things considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing hollywood hypocrisy. ok i want to go back to. west palm beach again another element of this story here i want to keep stressing here what people want to do what kind of relationships they want to have with their bosses they submit to a humiliating selves if that's what you want to do to get ahead in life i feel are actually more sorry for you and at the same time i think the quality of the talent in hollywood is really you know it's a swamp i mean i don't think they present values that i have nothing in common with them that's why i used to live there i don't live there anymore and i'm very happy

about it but jane i'm one of the things if you trust in the new york times story which i always have a huge huge grain of salt on my shoulder and i read them because i have very little trust in the new york times these days 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 you know 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 that lot of people have known that for thirty years apparently but the news is is how they try to censor this out and people are willing to get to go along with it i find that truly shocking and really disappointing gina go ahead. yeah you know everybody in media wants to talk about collusion all the time right we're going to

talk about collusion let's talk about the collusion between the democrat party and hollywood and the fact that hollywood is a lock stock and barrel in favor of democrats at every single turn let's talk about the fact that weinstein gave almost seven hundred thousand dollars that we know of to democrats i don't think he gave any to republicans and now they try to cover it up by saying oh we're going to give it to charities to women's charities they gave thirty thousand dollars the d.n.c. thirty thousand dollars to emily's list emily's list is just a pro-abortion lobby basically that is not a charity for one thing and that's not giving the money away because it's going right back into 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 that 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 think you'll dispute me on that the media being quiet on this they were never quiet on anything regarding trump where they go ahead rob in new york first of all let's not talk about individual politicians like trump got elected by the way despite his his comments to billy bush show. that it's. it's discussable right now what's more poor we're talking about the people outside of washington the power brokers not the individual politicians and there are power brokers on each side for each party you have the koch brothers on the left you could have wind or put the koch brothers on the right of weinstein on the left but they're always there it's not even to think that i have any designs that i'm lying

to have sex so misconduct. well i think also i'm a brother. but i think the koch brothers so that's a that's a fair issue but they don't run hollywood ok i mean hollywood is just an extension of the democratic party that's what i see how i look at it ok i mean they've they're they would symbiotic ok i don't see any major forces on the right minus fox and fox is fifty percent against trump and the republicans these days ok so it's a pretty much stacked back 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 pens a deal interestingly enough where the 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 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 or trump lawyer or make no gender matter for do whatever they made the same thing not a dossier that was no but did just imagine there would be a free song on for net a frothing fomenting volcano of activity cold bare camel saturday night live it would be nonstop but crickets crickets all right let me go to wrong here gentlemen jury. come on we've got to give rob some oxygen here in the house how does this go a go forward here because you know when. harvey came out and he said he was sorry which was not kind of sorry at all the way i read it i appreciate it all talked about a cell he actually got to the bottom of this through you know anybody 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 know that's a good idea harvey that you know you got connections maybe you could make that i found that to be pathetic as well go ahead rob. ok i'm not defending harvey anyway if you're not his lawyer and you're not his lawyer go there 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 come 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 am 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 to vomit bucket to watch that stuff ok gina let me go to you because for me now it's absolutely ok rich people you know walking around with their their jewelry you know rattling around their neck and all that on their wrist i mean and then talking about how great and wonderful they are rich people get awards and they spit down at everybody else you can't even come they have security there oh they're really secure right there but when you go to another venue for a country music and you get shot up ok neither the elites protect themselves here. from out me it's an indictment of the hollywood culture and mentality ok and you know i'm sick and tired of these so-called celebrities current ones or has been

spewing about politics when they don't know jack about what they're talking about. and while they're disallowing any voice of the other side you know i was actually part of an organization inside of hollywood that had to hide it they had to be underground and had to network with one another because they knew if they were ever found out they would be blackballed from hollywood you cannot have a differing opinion other than the straight up socialist mindset if you're part of hollywood and that is just a fact and yet the very politicians they support let's look what's come out of him we not only have weinstein we have anthony weiner we have bill clinton i mean the list goes on and on so when you really want to think about who the party is that champions women are which side of politics because most of us these days 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 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 agreeing with you well dr let you know obscene a hey look i don't agree with this guy rob beetroots two against one action against landline rob what rob go. i'm kind of flabbergasted at dr jean as a response that the conservatives on are women i mean ok let's attack harvey weinstein in 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 zero but imagine this assume argue i know for the sake of argument the following let's assume that was a a republican or a conservative version of meryl streep. who not only lauded encouraged r.v. wind or kept your mouth shut when 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 the merits of roman polanski 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 don't know you let me do normal involved in a very good job let me give gina the last word on this program hopefully with her great powers of speaking she will stand warmth from florida all the way here to moscow go ahead thirty seconds. that really do my best i think that i think that it's a sort of punctuate a conversation that we've had we have to look at leaders in the democrat party like hillary clinton like the obama's who have yet to even make a statement about weinstein and imagine for a moment as lionel has pointed to if the shoe were on the other foot and this was donald trump and something had come out finally with any evidence behind it about

donald trump would hillary clinton and the obama's be silent the answer is no that is the well i guess away so i guess just to everyone here will stand or we're going to move for a lot needs to be correct yet we're going to go from lock her up to lock him up i suppose ok we've run out of time many thanks and i guess in new york and west palm beach and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at r.g.c. you next time and remember crosstalk rolls. i don't it is i will not be here that. much as you. give it up he loves little. touches you. hate. it does. suggest that you are outside of the mark on the. by then got

a session on the nod there in. by then is assess the wall and. pull a stunt ok nodded said i'm. going to learn more. songs certainly not so with. daniel most of the was revealed to the pope multiple injuries among current and up to so for them to keep sophie hold most of the work but the show's real your mercy on the phone to the book and if you can book a political symbol to the sister you're welcome to put in a moral sense of what is my. own image of nothing. else allowed me to see you on c.n.n. said he'd walk. down the long enough something not set it. on the market and then to huddles look ma that's what i can now maybe i may be on that beach

florida. the big difference between. president obama policy president was. gauging iran on the regional issues he was. wrong to come to international negotiations and see the. president trump. they should all come from they should be going into the region and. thank you.

all. the. state is a little. bit of me.

this is a stronghold for puerto rico's independent party. the caribbean island which was annexed by the u.s. in eighty ninety eight is about to elect a new governor. many young people have turned out before. ruth wants to make us.

a little mass killing. us and that's. trying. to look at it look at least in the long run it. has been passed bringing austerity measures to overcome the crisis. a federal american board is supposed to govern puts a rico. does the independent candidate she's determined to defy washington in many view the federal board as a humiliation. seeming second be able to. sit up with simply listen to listen to the documents and listen to. the still essential justice of this. campaign and this is. a desolate and that means to

do something about the economy doesn't lie to me kill someone make up a. part of the us has. got a long. did it be. who . it will be. that it was like i. was. paralyzed that public debt is sixty six billion euros i record in the history of

the united states. to its status as a free associated state doesn't have the same rights as other states that's why it's not allowed to declare bankruptcy. that's the paradox of put a rico its citizens are american but the territory is treated differently. by. the. finances to pay back its debts to american creditors. since that announcement.

of the federal. friends still. in the family. privatizing public institutions tax increases strikes.

middle class children are affected the most. tonight oh. the future.

the country's biggest public university has announced another round of budget cuts students and lecturers have been affected by austerity for five years the university already owes five million euros the thought of a move to see the look of the modern now let us. know many that your god. knows it except that when i see you going that i was here tonight reality i see that it was so i thought it was a sea dive but i said nothing to miss you gotta get that way of life. was nothing in this little bit of

a. beat out of the sun so what. was it. looking like the last it was going to. look at it was a thing it was a little. it. was like a. leaf i was. five twenty three and no longer receives a university scholarship. to complete studies she had to take out a six thousand dollars loan. i was going to see. the same was any evidence of this it. was beginning to me i was finally asked. the public university isn't the only one affected by the austerity policy. fifty

kilometers from the capital school had to shut down in twenty forty and her aunt was a teacher that. she still has the keys to the school. ok now you're kidding i think not a little gadget down the window to say. you. and i summed it up finally the sun doesn't have time to get lost at sea and i'm. going to. go get into. that. somewhat. of a polo. one but again you know i hear a lot of it i don't know i don't know a lot of these. the couples a lot of would be good i don't know.

when or going to use now most. of the daily month. we can all see the cost of fuel before. we toss the moment up to go out i have to be a few i try to see what can you tell my you think we need to and can we were you know he said you know maybe it's. my little secrets audio tape on top of his unite the broken stick with us so you know. because of its debt the government has already closed down one hundred fifty schools on the island off of those spared so far worried about their future. symbols and quite a lovely idea as to them and. a guest and get to see this our young daughter him they. got up in a row and it. looked nice i'm not going to sing.

he says. the school closures have added to. his village now seems empty. the capital industry and tourism had long been the. development engine. but eradicating tax benefits for american companies drove the ricoh into crisis its unemployment is twice as high as the usa is. how do you know. how they don't want them. to repay our student loan hadley as

a social worker. for ten hours a week she helps seniors in need. when you add them along that's. going to say oh. he. is sixty eight years old and he doesn't receive a pension he still works as a painter. was not. going to. work. because the.

i don't know who you are going to vote on here though you're fifty in the early years little supper when you're this only here through december over there he told me although in the employees ha it's a prohibited idea will see a day absolutely and sentimental the last he made me out like a salad last a bottle b.s.i. day last time dan'l on the take it up later that is how simple going out there and gamble but then again i'm not down i'll tell him put on the clothes he left the building the table and impossible me.

how does it feel to be a sheriff the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job there is what business model helps to run a prison now we just do it oh my guess is nobody over the case and i don't no one comes anymore we don't have the sars or maybe more is cost effective this will be on. that loan they don't give a damn if you'd be a good choice on that they're actually paying us to put it back into the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the u.s.n. breach what secrets is behind such success. what politicians do so. they put themselves on the line they did accept the reject . so when you want to be president and. want to press.

it to the right to be press that's what before three of them can't be good. interested in the waters in the. first sip. thank. you young lecturer giovanni is handing out hot meals on the rio piedras campus. there's a long line he hands out hundreds of meals every day and. we're

. going to see that again with the end. of the program on simply. going to be a lot of. that's what he said i think they put the flamenco phenomena for him and. you know. but. also. ruth and adrian the two young activists peter here as well. he went out camping again. and he they were nominated. for an easy going to have been able to put. a. couple not only have

a. five. zero. zero this year ruth wasn't able to find a job she lives on three hundred fifty euros in public assistance but. the bottom. line. is they. the chemical or something i'm going to have a moment. to think. people will be a little. bit. you know.

a few hours later the city comes to a standstill. the island experiences a power outage. at the university council to. put it. in. the public electric company is the business with the biggest debt in puerto rico. power outages have affected rural areas. you. even.

thought out. the month a couple. groups has lived in this fifteen square meter room with a roommate for a year it's the big. solution of someone. just as high as in american cities. but i'm sorry. i mean. they're afraid that the power outage might last several days. ruth and i want to

buy food these are. still open thanks to a standby generator. that any. girl. in puerto rico ever think is more costly than in the u.s. on average twenty percent. or requires that the. american ships. blessing for the u.s. much and navy which supplies eighty percent of all food.

without this law could save a billion dollars a year oh. good. this year a new austerity measure was added. to settle its debts the island increased consumer tax. seventy percent to put a rate goes public debt is in american investment funds. which received tax benefits for the loans. and you action group has denounced the island's colossal debt for several months it speaks gun blames the us for much of it.

seems. recall. by guns initiative is seeking to cut the debt it's trying to prove that it all came a belt illegally. setterfield mounseer for mother. love wanted to see in the puerto rico prohibit me from they want to pull my hair and i know. that all being important they get sarah but i don't know about a few months the other bases of bill that i see on the. ball of when people see almost artist. oh yes i mean that's the moment when people. can let it be partially canceled. in the meantime the crisis is worsening.

a few kilometers from the capital ruth with it's a grandmother. carbon is ninety and lives in her house alone. she's been a social worker her whole life. has been for. the common fios for a pension the public pension fund is emptier. your mean one of the nothings young gay you about a might. be. you're pulling in seen young and then but i hated by michael mean where else they. really

are no rules. that you're going to add on. the. most of comments children who fled the crisis by moving to the us. instead enjoying. ok. most. don't and new york time being doing going over the mike a yes i mean where do you go. but i like up you know i've been going to. the port but it was never going to make it a lot but i think that it will be good i guess we have an idea you know we're going off on media but i meant. by yeah. in. these things. you know i'm going to drive. better and very

welcome. whether we've. got to get out in may this english am no longer you're going to know but by. then any. better i mean what the. man who it honestly doesn't like in puerto rico is the most something else in an american passport is the last resort thought ruth doesn't like a tall gentleman was the only guy and you know. what i know. either like it but i mean what i mean we're going to get in your game where you can point to last year are you asking the scene don't you think we're looking up. only a few who dream of independence. the american pulse bulge triumphs. more and more put a rico. act or is among them. is waiting for his flight from san

juan in a port. model . every day two hundred put a real migrate to the u.s. it's the greatest migration crisis in the island's history. but also. it was suggested.

and a fairly strong one there were two thousand. do chemicals that the advertising. really increase the risk of cancer. known to infuse them in the last test is it a sham that skepticism. is is true by independent scientists. industry this. time as was the others why is that the meat lobby. doing if you want to learn. from florida you. think. this is big business against. this is starting to show. 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 in g.d.p. growth would pay down the debt. or increase success and failure of a thriving economy and we see that in the volatility in the. sixties sankey has. always. been to the extent. that it will. not. come close because it would come to this state is little. you can go who live near. some gunfire from we're going to come.

up in the middle different times and alternate as a. commission for. me. when the way you'll keep us out of our home are part of our number. one killer and it's. going to be.

right. but it's a very. controversial . companies. african countries take a look at how. well. the . protests with. a female soldier who was forced to.

their morning here in the russian capital you are watching r t international news team here a very warm welcome to. the french parliament has adopted a controversial. bill handing increased powers to the security services and the new law has drawn criticism from rights advocates. civil liberties correspondent who's been following developments for us in paris well we know much more about the measures that they contained in the antiterrorism bill. will it 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 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. on a security 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

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 michel 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.

now civil liberty 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 go to reaction to the new law on the streets of paris. with leisure product no i don't agree with it and i'm sure we can do things differently i don't think it is the way to solve the problem of terrorism as opposed to we will have on the i think you know when you look for something to have you know how reasons for doing so how me personally i'm not against it. most of i really don't think it will help to fight any terrorists it will only harm personal freedom and now believe it is designed more to control the poor. minorities more than four

corners or thing we already have the means to control people like there are already laws in place we know we are in the control and afterwards of the monitor if they were now also be able to get into our apartments i don't believe the goal is fighting terror. earlier the united nations also raised objections over the anti terror bill it said the measure implemented would limit freedoms in french society and a warned of possible repercussions we discussed the new law with political analyst dan glazebrook and former m i five intelligence officer unemotional the state of emergency was 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 systematic and sushil discrimination and racism on the other hand if you're not going to deal with those even the most vicious police state will not be able to stop there being some people who decide to lash out unfortunately is the 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. thousands rallied in mogadishu on wednesday to decry the perpetrators of the worst terrorist atrocities in somalia as history police fired

rubber bullets to keep protesters away from the side of the bombing. god i was god. was. more than three hundred people were killed and some four hundred more injured in saturday's explosion of two truck bombs in mogadishu the death toll is still expected to rise so scores of people remain missing officials believe an al qaeda affiliated group that of al shabaab is responsible for the attack they say it might have been carried out in retaliation for u.s. led operation in that country but the mogadishu tragedy has affected the somali community across the world and some of its members in the u.s. criticizing the white house for its lack of response i call it our nine eleven nine

eleven also many people we are also today questioning our own president trumps. the lack of response if this attack has targeted people by their feet or other races we believe he would have made an immediate comment on his social media or in the others for misstatements one well known politician who reacted promptly though addressing last week's deadly explosion in the u.k. foreign secretary boris johnson had this to say about the battle ravaged city of mogadishu to speak of the whole house we wish to join me in condemning the atrocity in mogadishu on saturday which claimed at least two hundred eighty one lives those who inflicted this hemostat of terrorism only thriving capital city achieve nothing except to demonstrate their own wickedness well some of boris johnson's recent remarks though haven't landed him in hot water as her latest comments on libya even leading to calls for him to resign.

he led. them. but johnson isn't the fust politician to infer that recent war zones and investment shouldn't be a profitable combination africa has tremendous business potential web so many friends going to your country is trying to get rich i congratulate you they're spending a lot of money in south sudan for example don't demonstrate to the guardian newspaper over the summer revealed that cigarette giant british american tobacco may plans to launch itself that just two

beginning to swing back into action with some help from abroad back in april italy's state oil company teamed up with libya's to reopen the l. fields in the west of the war torn country its elite just happened to be part of the coalition that intervened to overthrow moammar gadhafi government in two thousand and eleven amongst all this first johnson's comments as a reminder that war can be horrific for some and lucrative for. political philosophy believes western countries disregard human tragedy and behave like proteins in war ravaged countries. what i would say is that i worry very much about the political rights in britain the political rights in the united states that has a predatory capitalism view a view that they can effectively eat what they kill that they can devour things

that are in there in their path and not really worry about its effects on communities social consequences. places beaches or places to be appropriated by expensive luxury hotels and not really deal with the human tragedies and and other problems that exist on the ground the world is there is their playground and not and not to care or give much regard to people who are in these areas who need support they need assistance and the justice i think we should be very worried about these forces. at least fifty eight people have been arrested in israel during a series of demonstrations organized by an ultra orthodox jewish group they've been protesting the jailing of two students accused of being draft dodgers and one female officer was forced to push back and crowd all by himself.

was was was was was was was i was was i. i was i. was now are members of the jewish hotline minority are exempt by law from so thing in the israeli army was in september the country's supreme court struck down this legislation making it more difficult for the ultra orthodox to evade conscription the leaders of this group say that those eligible for enlistment and in particular students studying religious texts should focus instead on for surfing the jewish religion was

a lot of stories still coming your way here on the program today on r t international in spain are thousands of pro unity supporters took to the streets of boston known as the deadline for declaring independence for cattle draws a ever closer to that story and more just a moment. here's what people have been saying about redacted and i was actually just full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to find you know what it is that really packs a punch at least yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than blue. sea people you've never heard of love redacted tonight my president of the world bank hates it but he doesn't write me seriously he sent

us an email. what politicians do sometimes. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to be rich. to write the press it's like before three of the four people. i'm interested always in the waters about how. thanks for joining us. florida's governor has declared a state of emergency ahead of a rally of white nationalists this thursday among the speakers at the rally will be richard spencer who was one of the organizers of the. spill which saw one person killed and nineteen injured now

a florida university where the rally is taking place a million dollars on additional security measures bus routes have also been changed and neighboring buildings closed counseling is also being offered to those who buy this rally almost three thousand people have signed up for an anti spencer event posted on facebook activists also launched a petition to ban the rally with several thousand signing it or the state is on the edge of a potential violence between supporters on protesters at the event again raised the issue of social divisions in us society american media is linking the rise of these divisions and hate crimes to presidency with several research groups reporting a spike since his inauguration however in some cases so called a hate crimes have turned out to be due to a deliberate provocation as. explains. seems like there's been a lot of talk about hate crime in america i mean it's just pop culture these days

to be a victim isn't it in new york a jewish man reported to the police that swastikas were spray painted on his home i was horrified i thought to myself what the heck could do something crazy like this and guess what it was fake according to local jewish leaders mr king wasn't even jewish himself local authorities didn't know that a falsely reported hate crime is just as bad as a real crime but it doesn't and there a professor at the indiana state university claimed he was receiving anti in muslim threats via e-mail he also told the police that at university he was physically assaulted now this sparked a frenzy throughout the campus the university doesn't tolerate intolerance if someone has experienced an intolerant act either in person or by e-mail or by thrown we encourage them to report it to law enforcement but oh no they all wound up over nothing but another hoax the investigation didn't find any witnesses to the

us attack and later the cyber department found out the professor himself sent out those muslim hate mails based upon this to geisha there is no belief that hussein was trying to gain sympathy by becoming a victim of ons in muslim threats which he had created himself playing the victim when in the me hind bars and here is one more case for you joshua will call the police to report a stabbing because the attacker in his own words mistook him for a neo nazi. party i looked like a near nazi and got stabbed for it luckily i got my hands up to stop it so he only stabbed my hand. but what really happened is joshua bore a pocket knife at a nearby store and accidently stabbed himself in the arm so he came up with the way to hide the embarrassing situation by playing the victim of a hate crime and sometimes it gets as weird as this earlier this month a michigan state university student found a new saying on her door and immediately thought it was an act of intimidation and

reported to the campus authorities i want to be clear this type of behavior is not tolerated on our campus and noose is a symbol of intimidation and threat that has a horrendous history in america well it turned out to be a tad more innocent turns out the news that was found hanging outside a dorm room was actually just a leather shoes lace and messy says the shoe lace and it's match found outside the dorm were packaged in a way that someone could perceive them to look similar to a noose one of the most powerful of emotions one of the most powerful and frankly one of the most destructive emotions is the idea of victimhood certainly there are ways to even get money from the government for being a victim there are ways to get other benefits for being a victim and so they gather there's definitely something to that and i think that is incredibly destructive i would say that the first answer a wiser or such a rising fake a crimes is that they want to discredit dollars there's whole they're invested in

this narrative that donald trump is responsible for creating this wave of hate crimes because he's a bolding the racist he's a racist himself he's a white supremacist according to this narrative by the left so therefore they want to show that he's a bold in these races so therefore they want to publish that crimes to make it seem like that's the case. the u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki haley launched a vitriolic attack on iran the latest security council meeting on wednesday she says our country will no longer turn a blind eye to tehran's actions. the regime cannot have it both ways it cannot consistently violate international law and still be considered a fit and trusted member of the international community the security council has repeatedly passed resolutions aimed at addressing a rainy and support for terrorism and regional conflicts but iran has repeatedly

down its nose at those efforts worse the regime continues to play this council iran hides behind its assertion of technical compliance with the nuclear deal while it brazenly violates the other limits on its behavior it comes off the dog said he wanted his country out of this nuclear agreement last week the president announced he would decertify the deal that means the u.s. congress now has sixty days to decide whether it wants to reimpose sanctions against iran or agree on new legislation relating to the accord iran's supreme leader meanwhile has the international community to take a stand against the moves of the white house border. europeans must stand up to the actions of the united states is trying just not to rock the deal but violates it for example by new sanctions he expects to come from congress europeans must openly defy that simply saying that they oppose it is not enough.

former pentagon official michael maloof says nikki haley is taking a tough stance on iran to try and extract some concessions from its european allies . it's an overblown statement as usual iran is not the main culprit here. i think what she's trying to do is. now leverage leverage. the united states' position against iran in order to get more. cooperation if you will from the europeans on a variety of areas that they really want to do and they're using the nuclear agreement as a stepping stone for that purpose in that it states in the end is not going to get what it wants it's not going to get this kind of action in fact they may get a retrenchment on the part of the europeans who have all agreed to this agreement the whole idea of of obama in going along with his agreement was that during that ten year period it would be a time in which we could lessen tensions with iran and open up further avenues of

cooperation in stead under trump were doing just the opposite. thousands of pro unity supporters have taken to the streets of basra alone or with a deadline imposed by mood to rid lubing of spain had demanded that the cattle and lead to clarify the region's position of independence by monday something that did not happen now another deadline for the cattle and leaders to proclaim whether the region is set to break away from madrid expires on this thursday the spanish prime minister is adamant on receiving a response. it's not difficult it's just the simple question have he declared the independence of all or not we discussed the issue with a professor william mallinson a former british diplomat he believes the standoff between madrid in the region is just a war of words the central spanish government he's being too heavy handed is this sort of game of semantic poker and it's charged with emotion and that's dangerous

what is independence what is a declaration and that's also very much a legal question now when you've got such flexibility then the madrid government should be extremely care. all about bringing down the guillotine and then in a sense threatening the whole population of catalonia with. harder harsher methods which would be very dangerous because that would lead to a knock on effect if you like to me to affect in other parts of europe the need to understand the beauty of diplomacy. of the russian resort of sochi has welcome young people from all around the world with the world festival of youth and students now in full swing organizers say that more than twenty five thousand people from more than one hundred countries are taking part in the event and now it's the fifth day of the festival week and so far the students are enjoying a number of events covering culture sports and science as well as

a discussing the most significant world issues the festival in russia was first held in one thousand nine hundred fifty seven and now sixty years later the first participants of the event recalled their memories of how it was like back in those days. now with. the. ideas that. she might move through the drug. vote to. hit us of the. skids is certainly a good move move when the business is needed in this. case is that

let's see. it. anymore stand still and. let them get into listening. with interest and if he's devoted. student. of shit come. to sesame. street as it has less than a meter. to receive it they need. a wall headline.

but. the relationship between. suggested. and a fairly strong one there were two thousand. well respected scientists. do chemicals that. really increase the risk of cancer. is. by independent scientists. time as was the others. doing if you want to learn more. about the.

big business health. so. much so that. daniel most of the was a b. how did it move the pope multiple injuries among current enough to so for them to

keep sophie hollow the look of the show's real year mars on the phone to the bone the book on a human book a political social services say yes but i don't know if it's a book in a moral sense of what my. little condiment enough of. us allowed me. somethin to work. on long enough something outside of. the model a little slit my wrists a little canal maybe maybe maybe who are just some. facts geysers financial survival. skills causing trouble. oh you mean there's a downside to artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried away that's cause report. think you're new to the game

but this is how it works not the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington the washington controls the media the media control over the voters elected the 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. this is a stronghold for puerto rico's independent party. on

. the caribbean island which was annexed by the us in eighty ninety eight is about to elect a new governor. many young people have turned out before. ruth wants to because. i am a. little mass to seventy percent that. seem. to look at him look at least eleven fund. has been passed bringing austerity measures to overcome the crisis. a federal american board is supposed to govern puts a rico. does

the independent candidate she is determined to defy washington in many view the federal board as a humiliation. seeming second be able to. say to. listen to listen to that and listen. to the still east of the system that is split it up and this is. a desolate area and then you can just. i mean. part of the u.s. has. to be good. i didn't. think.

it would be. that he was like i was was. paralyzed public debt is sixty six billion euros i record in the history of the united states. to its status as a free associated state doesn't have the same rights as other states that's why it's not allowed to declare bankruptcy. that's the paradox of put a rico its citizens are american but the territory is treated differently.

by. the island's finances to pay back its debts to american creditors. since that announcement pull. dissipating.

privatizing public institutions tax increases. future.

the country's biggest public university has announced another round of budget cuts students and lecturers have been affected by austerity for five years the university already owes five million euros no four was able to see that the model

now let us. know many thoughts your was. sitting with us you know that i was here and i think i got it i see that it bothered me so i got up to us enough but i said nothing to miss you guys that i. was. was asking a little bit of them. so that's it that's it. looking like the last it was going to. look it was a big thing it was a little. it. was like a. twenty three and no longer receive a university scholarship. to complete studies she had to take out a six thousand dollars loan. i wanted to see.

the same resentment of the cities in the. us it was beginning to have a god like inside. the public university isn't the only one affected by the austerity policy. fifty kilometers from the capital school had to shut down in twenty forty and her aunt was a teacher that. she still has the keys to the school. ok now you're kidding i think not a little gadget down the window to say. you. and i solved it on finding the sun doesn't ask him to get lost at sea and i'm.

going. to go get into. that. somewhat. kolo. pointed out again not a lot of it i don't know i don't know a lot of these. couples a lot of what the beagle i don't know about. but on going to use now most. of the daily month. i thought on that one can all see the cost of the mini p.c. for. the moment to plant all i had to give you were trying to see what can you tell my you think we need to and can we removed the so you know maybe it's. my little secrets audio tape on top of his unite the broken stick with us so you

know. because of its debt the government has already closed down one hundred fifty schools on the island off of the spread so far worry about their future. symbols and quite a lovely idea as to them on. a test and get. this how the young bought him they. bought up then i don't buy pro and. tyson nor can i sing. the school closures have added. hardly is village now seems empty. capital industry and tourism had long been the. development engine. but

eradicating tax benefits for american companies drove the ricoh into crisis its unemployment is twice as high as the usa is. how do you know. they don't want them i am going. to repay on a student loan hadley as a social worker. for ten hours a week she helps seniors in need. and when you add them along that's. going to say oh. he.

is sixty eight years old and he doesn't receive a pension he still works as a painter. was not. going to. work. because the. i know who you are being told i'm sure there will be your food in the early years little supper with your design only gained through this you're going to see the tunnel below a damn place haha it's simply that i have big idea. they sort of me and the sentimental the adolescent made me out sad at last a bottle won't be as high

a dam on the sea get up a little denny's how simple going to be as b.m. full play then again month down. and put something close to an ethical thing to hone in on possible me. the big difference between. president obama policy president was. gauging iran. was. the iran like you are getting you on to come to international negotiations and see the. president trump. they should all come from they should

be going into the region. thank you. that. will. give equal goulet of me. as a. part

of our. youth. but. that it was bought. by. lives of her. young lecturer giovanni is handing out hot meals on the rio piedras campus.

to. remember some of them going about that they didn't give a good day at the sundown. there's a long line he hands out hundreds of meals every day and he said yes when i said going up we're. going to see the good in the city and that i meant that there were many artists you know sort of my son you know but i mean that with the ghetto i should employ got. a laugh and make up for them on a simple low low level commotion going to a lot of. work that's what he said i think it's likely to be the flamenco phenomena for women but the notion of also this you know i'm going to. find a way of a video. but the women any of them. also want a boy.

ruth and adrian the two young activists here as well. he went down to the canteen in the nanoparticle me and he they were nominated. for an easy going to be a man of the play and i don't get it i'm not i. early . this year ruth wasn't able to find a job she lives on three hundred thirty euros in public assistance. by. the chemical our society. in.

a few hours later the city comes to a standstill. the island experiences a power outage. at the university canceled. but i. think. that. the public electric company is the business with the biggest debt in puerto rico. power outages have affected

rural areas. you. even. without. ruth has lived in this fifteen square meter room with a roommate for a year it's the best solution of some one. just as high as in american cities. but i'm i'm sorry.

i mean. they're afraid that the power outage money to last several days. ruth and a roommate want to buy food are. still open thanks to a standby generator. that you're thinking about. but. you know. you go. in puerto rico everything is more costly than in the u.s. on average twenty percent. enough.

to capitalize law requires that the. american ships. blessing for the u.s. much of navy which supplies. all food. without this law put a rico could save a billion dollars a year. this year a new austerity measure was added. to settle its debts the island increased consumer tax. seventy percent to put a regular public debt is in american investment funds. which received tax benefits

for the loans. and you action group has denounced the island's colossal debt for several months. blames the u.s. for much of it. seemed . cool. guns initiative is seeking to cut the debt it's trying to prove that it all came a belt illegally. setterfield mounseer. love interest in the puerto rico prohibit me from they want to pull my hair and i

know. that all be important they get sarah but i don't know are a few months ago at best he said bill but i see on. all of them people see almost as. oh yes every leather. can the dead be partially counseled. in the meantime the crisis is worsening. a few kilometers from the capital ruth with its a grandmother. carbon is ninety and lives in her house alone. she's been a social worker a whole life. and. you.

know i'm an fios for a pension the public pension fund is emptier. your me one of the nothings young gay you about all right. in their lives they have be here. you're pulling your thing young and then but i hated by michael me but i'll tell. you no rule. like. the one most of commons children who fled the crisis by moving to the us. instead enjoying. ok. most. in new york being doing going over to my gay yes i mean where do you go. but i like up you know i'm going to freak on. the part but it was never going to make it a lot but i think that it took

a good i guess we have an idea you know we're going off on media but i meant. going on will go if they don't they my yeah. i guess they get these things as you know. better and a very welcome but don't recall whether we've. got to get our own way this english i'm no longer you're going to do with me what i live by. but i mean. the. man who asked us to look in puerto rico i would be most something else in an american passport is the last resort thought ruth doesn't like a tall gentleman will see it oh my god you know. what i know. either like it but i mean what i mean we're going to get in your game where you. get way looking up ahead. it's. only

a few shows a dream of independence. the american post triumphs. more and more put to reconsider leaving the island actor as among them. is waiting for his flight from some one in a port. model . every day two hundred put a recount migrate to the u.s. it's the greased migration crisis in the island's history.

how does it feel to be a sheriff the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job there is what business model helps to run a prison now we just do or don't like video visitation i don't know what comes in we don't have to sarge and many more it's. that long they don't give a damn if you do the chores are not actually paying enough to put it back into. the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the u.s.n. breach what secret is behind such success. the us economy is dead because competition is. 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 in g.d.p. growth would pay down the debt and or increase success and failure of a thriving economy and we see that in the volatility index. but also. to the ship between. it was just to prove 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 use them in the

launch of a shared skepticism they do not believe that risk is seen as truth by independent scientists so did the need industry and you for this i received some compensation for my time as well as you know others why is that the meat lobby definitely do like what we've been doing and if you want to learn more you'll get a definite on the floor you are only here not back to. big business against health. as you're starting to show. in case you're new to the game this is how it works not the economy is built around corporate corporations from washington to washington.

business. business. it's not business as you. know. companies. take a look at how.
