gave praise to the joint least on his journeys i pointed out that standing out in the field and continuing to talk while explosions and there were no fall around you is brave she still admires is bravery though the mainstream media has a history of becoming in chanted by jihadi affiliated want to be reporters take beloved all karim the story teller when it came to the battle for aleppo people executed it's as simple as that what can i do here and see a blend in the crowd i don't think so am i going to turn my so over to regime forces absolutely no so what that he's giving a platform to a suicide bomber right at least he's taking all the right boxes they say you have to protect human rights. they support the terrorism so how on earth. of poor human rights supporter is of that's that's the bottom line of the hippocratic the have double standards. if this happens in the
10:31 pm
u.s. mainland would they accept terrorists to be available terrorist organizations. to say the they have good cause of course not the mainstream media has a habit of putting itself on a journalistic pedestal getting the facts right giving balance and using trusted sources but those standards appear to be selective and only if the story fits the cover you've done of r.t. . katie has seen an eye pouring of support from the us media and politicians since president trump allegedly made his disparaging remarks about the caribbean nation i said rick linton and many others pointed out the comments came in the eighth anniversary of a devastating earthquake in haiti which killed more than two hundred thousand people and one c.n.n. anchor even became quite emotional in his response to trump's remarks. patients slap your hand hard when they shake it they look you in the eye they don't blink
10:32 pm
they stand tall and they have dignity it's a dignity many in this white house could learn from it's a dignity the president with all his money and all his power could learn from as well but what many of trump's critics fail to mention was that this rule played by washington's policies on haiti's troubled history after gaining independence from france at the beginning of the nineteenth century it took the u.s. almost sixty years to acknowledge it as a sovereign state during the time it's in fact imposed a trade embargo on haiti which was already struggling with enormous debts mounted by fronts in the twentieth century haiti was also occupied by u.s. marines for almost two decades to protect washington's economic interests fortunes and also gave hundreds of millions of dollars to the brutal regime of your employer duvalle intervene twice militarily african affairs expert iow johnson thinks trump overlooked the united states' role in shaping the countries he criticized. many of the problems that the haitians are experiencing in their own country stems from
10:33 pm
many of the confusion that the u.s. has imposed on that country. taking control of the country imposing sanctions or actually the fact that some of the companies that had only haitian people and of course many of their practices were not in the interest of the local population on local industries so i think the u.s. if it's if you to express is in those terms that the haitians like me all the africans. and basket cases he's misunderstood the fact that many of the ills many of the problems that these countries are facing to an extent come from american income. book in hawaii alarm over a north korean missile terrifies the locals and holidaymakers on the u.s. state that story and more right up to the.

a quarter of an hour into the program welcome back former u.s. army private on whistleblower chelsea manning has filed to run for a seat in the u.s. senate manning who's original name was bradley spent seven years in prison for stealing hundreds of thousands of classified files and hunting them to wiki leaks the former intelligence analysts was given thirty five years behind bars but this sentence was commuted by president obama one year ago our plans to run as a democratic candidate in maryland have been met with a largely hostile reaction and pleaded guilty to very serious crimes private manning is a traitor and should not have been turned into a martyr but this measure as a reward to trade manning's leagues directly led to a person's death did you get reports that they didn't report so that he should be
10:36 pm
punished to the fullest extent possible and what is that. you think he should be killed yes. but ok for more on this latest announcement let's bring in conservative commentator john griffin for his take hi there john the innocent has taken many by surprise do you think chelsea manning has any chance of actually getting elected. well sadly this is part of a culture of leaks and the democratic party has been behind you know the hillary servers for example in the last the last election cycle were an issue because of these national security sensitive documents classified materials that were released and that's the same it's the same issue with with private manning here these are literally treasonous acts these are violations of our national security laws the same president who were least high risk one time a mo inmates right before he left office also released manning and i really don't
10:37 pm
see a moral distinction between the two it's equally agreed and this culture of leaks needs to be brought to a screeching halt and some of the reactions of being being pretty harsh is got is that it's not going to continue is not the serve because if someone has served time for their crimes they have the right to run for office as everyone else don't they. will beg your pardon but manning did not serve time for his her crimes he simply got off easy there's no there's no other way to describe it this is a person who under his she was actually got out on it on our law she was commuted and again obama also commuted high risk one ton of the inmates that have also committed new acts of terror overseas against our troops and our allies so the i don't really see a commuting of the sentence as a sign that it was deserved or earned at chelsea money is of course transgender how
10:38 pm
much of a bar a year is not to getting elected to high office in the u.s. do you think she will she has a chance of winning in maryland. in maryland i would assume the transition is not an issue i lived there myself for the last year and a half when i worked for the daily caller in washington d.c. and frankly the transition is not something that would be a hot button topic i don't think in a race like this really the issues that you're going to see of course are a commuted traitor running for public office and i think that the democratic party can do a better and have done better in the past and they need to stop putting candidates forward on the ballot that have a criminal history john mccain claimed the taliban murdered people using information provided by chelsea manning he and many others including yourself i think are calling a traitor the other side of the corner saying that the information that came might
10:39 pm
meant that the u.s. had to tighten up their. their investigations what they were doing overseas as well i'm perhaps their lives could have been saved because of that is there not a case for the other side to be taken into account here to. well look someone's personal sensitivity to private manning's personal troubles including the transgender issue i think has been unfairly harnessed and used to get us to ignore these egregious criminal acts and there's not a question this did result in deaths that could have been prevented overseas these were seven hundred thousand war related documents these were about the iraq and afghanistan war troops sensitive materials for example these almost assuredly got people killed because of their release so manning manning trying to call the public's attention to his personal problems really is a nonstarter through most of the american public i would assume for chelsea manning
10:40 pm
will be getting your vote guessing. well i'm not part of the american maryland electorate of the heavy it's a lovely state isn't it john griffin conservative commentator thank you very much. israeli security forces have dispersed an anti us rally being held by palestinian protesters tear gas was used in response to officers being targeted with stones and other projectiles the incident happened in the west bank city of ramallah protesters marched along a road which had been blocked off by israeli forces leading to a village that's been declared a closed military zone protesters began hurling rocks before being pushed back by tear gas fired from armored vehicles well this comes after a sixth consecutive week of friday rage in response to donald trump's recognition of jerusalem israeli capital. new york's largest police union is suing its own commissioner the city's administration over
10:41 pm
the release of body videos serious implications not only for the safety and process rights of police officers before the privacy and rights of members of the public as well the union claims the release of video from officers body count is a breach of citizen's privacy adding up the administration uses quote arbitrary and inconsistent parameters and is guided by political considerations one case in point is an incident last september when a man was shot after pointing a toy gun at police the video was released the spike fears it could jeopardize an ongoing investigation a former officer who blew the whistle on police activities believes the current system allows videos to be used for political gain. i don't think it's an all of a sudden decision if you actually read the lawsuit in the very first paragraph it's states clearly what it wants and all it's asking for in the gist of the complaint is for these body camera videos not to be used selectively for political gain
10:42 pm
that's that's all that it's asking for it's asking for a better system for these to be disseminated out into the public and as of right now the two people that the complaint is listing against for seemingly abusing the authority is for the blasio and the police commissioner itself so the complaint says that it wants just not selective you videos being removed. last year or three body company was released by the n.y.p.d. to have them show officers shooting and killing suspects a local news channel we know paid thirty six thousand dollars to show additional footage the union say the videos are selected to make a point that they could be from years ago but are being used to highlight current issues a warning at the upcoming images could be described as distressing. three .

son after. seeing police officers being pawns in political games or get political games and they needed to be protected there in the middle buffer between the law's the law makers the people they're supposed to troll and police the laws over and then their body camera usage their squad car video footage is all being used either for them or against them as a as a pawn moving game and it's just not fair. a ballistic missile full to larm has triggered must be punished in the us state of hawaii a warning was sent out by text message and broadcast on live t.v.
10:45 pm
while on english football much was being broadcast. but if the u.s. pacific command has detected a missile threat to hawaii a missile may impact on land or sea within minutes this is not a drill minutes later officials were scrambling to reassure people out there was in fact no threats or local congresswoman tweeted there is no incoming missile the message was sent in advertently was what was said but for many have those reassurances came a little too late to locals who were already rushing for safety and some tried to take shelter in storm drains the u.s. pacific command explained the message was sent out in ever and promised a full investigation well this all happened a month after hawaii really launched its nuclear warning system over the threat from north korea. cannot is the news for now on our team trashmore program started in just a moment. from our team hates q two r.t.

by for not showing thomas is here in half an hour's time with. young children who have worked in bolivia for generations almost three quarters of a million doing so today. this culture led to the development of the libya's new liberal and highly controversial children's code in two thousand and fourteen which gave children as young as ten the right to work under certain circumstances but there's a new thing this. is all news. eat well with us in the end all. the things years.
10:47 pm
but there are hundreds of thousands of children in bolivia operating completely outside the local. mining work is strictly forbidden by the children but it's never enforced and that means the school boy minus here continues risking their lives for the money they need to survive on. lemme warhawks selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that stalinists thought spread a tell you that plenty gossip and probably by itself a little pointless and a little luck telling you on the cool enough and that's why they're probably

britain from hitler coming up on the show as britain's chancellor philip hammond is nowhere to be seen for an emergency parliamentary question on the paradise of papers should britain's head of state apologize for offshoring millions of pounds for aggressive tax avoidance we speak to jeremy corbin's u.k. labor party shadow emergencies minister chris williams and band we asked tory m.p. and deputy chairman of the u.k. just a select committee john howell that minority government needed to raise a maze premiership is sustainable in the wake of what appears to be a new scandal every day but as new figures show an awning rises in u.k. food bank use award winning director sean baker an oscar nominated actor willem dafoe on what the western economic crisis is doing to the children of the usa well the simple going up today is going underground but first this week marks one hundred years since a revolution without which arguably britain today would be in the hands of nazi descendants the rapid industrialization that took place after ten days shook the
10:50 pm
world and russia would ensure the defeat of hitler on the eastern front that enormous human cost and allowed britain's escape from being an outpost of the third rush but of course according to go mark the revolution was supposed to happen here in london not three and a half hours by east of this studio in moscow it's something you can detect in the work of no i'm chomsky the soviet union called it socialism in order to gain whatever to benefit from the marl appeal that true socialism had among large parts of the general world population but this was about as remote from socialism as you can imagine so what about a socialist revolution. britain some marxism alice is required for conditions one split amongst ruling classes like say over fifty fifty if you like break that to winning over the middle class say by catalyzing resentment over paradise papers tax dodging three instability over law enforcement say slashing police numbers by more
10:51 pm
than twenty thousand which has happened under the tories for increasing worker democracy arguably like that proposed for british boardrooms by u.k. prime minister to raise i'm a has i what i've clarified today's meeting very clear we want workers representation on boards and workers on boards are also advocated by u.k. labor leader jeremy corbyn so are the conditions right for a real revolution unlike russia nine hundred seventeen there's certainly class resentment over revelations from the so-called paradise papers detailing tax dodging by the rich the people will no doubt decide but joining me now is the british labor party's shadow emergencies minister chris williams and before we get to revolution the paradise paper has your reaction to these new revelations which is a seriously injured people from the manchurian or attack did not get medical help for an hour that's the may twenty second attack in manchester the ground in a concert hall that's incredibly troubling and certainly merits further investigation as to why that happened i mean i can speculate i mean one of the
10:52 pm
reasons i think potentially could be the fact that our emergency services or massively under-funded have seen substantial reductions in government investments and that's pledged to a reduction in staffing and consequently right across the piece the emergency services are struggling to actually cope with the pressures are being put on them which for the government would deny the cuts have any big influence over the two or all at once and they can deny that fell out when we do deny there is there isn't any any money and you guys seem to have all the money is part of the problem the fact we don't have the money because of tax avoidance little like they were well it's very interesting isn't it i mean i think it suggests that something in the. all of a sudden seventy five billion pounds is avoided every single year in this country there is literally trillions of pounds tied up in the tax savings and you know that's why we're calling for a public inquiry that's why we've said that we want to see a range of different measures brought in including a register of those who have holdings in particular british dependencies and we've
10:53 pm
talked about introducing measures such as withholding tax to actually do you know took the tax source as it were to make sure the when companies or making profits in this country that they pay their dues as it were because they know they benefit obviously from this economy they benefit from the infrastructure that's in place in this economy in the house to be paid for out of the public purse and by you know not paying their obligations in terms of the tax that they should be doing then clearly that's putting additional pressure public services or crying out for investment they or in a desperate state with any outnumbers of policing and adequate numbers of nurses weightiness going through the local governments has been decimated social care in absolute crisis no government should be the head to represent the interests of the many not the few but it seems to me this government and indeed successive governments has got to be said over the last well four decades really have served
10:54 pm
the interests of the elites they've served the interests of faceless corporations or they've served the interests of billionaires formal then they have the interests of people in scottish government removed say that it was worse under blairite and labor they have tried to type up some guy loopholes i mean should this was a question they would your leader as well should the queen apologize for offshoring tens of millions to avoid well i mean i think frankly the creek queen is a sideshow i mean ten million pounds yes i think she should apologize but let's not get too focused on the queen ten million pounds versus literally trillions of pounds and lord ashcroft involvement in this i mean moving we've called for for example of georgia. for the former tory chairman absolutely but the thing one thing that also calling for is for closer scrutiny of members of parliament and we do know the. public accepted members of parliament do have offshore accounts and you know frankly i'd like to follow the ecuadorian example where no public official is allowed to have any offshore accounts they had
10:55 pm
a referendum earlier than most of you the prime minister doesn't have on as well as i understand what do you make of the fact that her husband merges maybe twenty billion dollars in tax dodging companies like amazon and starbucks as well the senior executive of capital group whether a clip clearly questions to answer seems to be for the promise there and you know they could be conflict of interest here obviously very close family members partner husband. you know. and his business dealings i think do need to come under the spotlight here. you know we need answers i think to these very serious questions of been raised now as a consequence of the revelations in these paradice papers it just goes on in fundamental to british capitalist society where the right wing blogger is saying john mcdonald had a chance for his tax filings show that fourteen thousand pounds was involved in some pension in good brazilian that doesn't mean javagal back in of course of. the talk about clutching at straws that's a. smear and the fact is john has no control over the way where the pension funds are nor does anyone well know but the point is. well that we did but this is where
10:56 pm
we need. restrictions legislation and we talked about bringing that in but where you know complete do have control of these corporations they have control these billionaire all agog these elites they have control and they choose to hold their accounts in these tax havens many of which are british dependencies very briefly when you're in parliament the disgraced defense secretary went how long do you think to raise it is the beginning of the end there is a winner will have is the beginning of the end for this government because if there is some a go she will just be replaced by another cardboard cutout who. you know subscribes to to this is a gang there is. well i mean i think it's got it's got the stench of decay this government has to shore in theory they could last until twenty twenty two can't see them surviving that long as they are in a minority it has all the hallmarks of the john major government and so i think whenever the election comes are there and they're in
10:57 pm
a very deep trouble but we can't be complacent we've got to offer a genuine alternative to the system that's that's on offer at the moment when you know the wealthy the rich the corporations will benefit from you know i mean the end of the day these people are making so much money he said because spending just their wealth pop just grow and grow and grow would be better if they were paying their way contributed to society contribution to the economy that would help the economy to grow it would help generate jobs and they would benefit from that you know it just seems to me a client of addictive approach that they've taken chris williams thank you. well we just heard from shadow emergencies minister chris williamson and he was quite clear the paradise papers could not only be the final nail in the coffin for tourism a but the entire party as well i'm joined now by the prime minister's trade on boy to nigeria conservative m.p. john l. the of the vice chairman of the conservative friends of israel joel the expert coming on i mean we have ministers or declaring secret meetings with foreign
10:58 pm
governments we have people senior people of an allegedly endangered the lives of british subjects abroad is to resume finished no she's not finished and i think you've got to look at what each of those items individually to get the true picture of it there's no point in getting worked up and jumping on the on the back of them and i think it will be totally wrong to say that either theresa may or this conservative government is finished you think it was wise of. them to. in a sense echoed the iranian revolutionary guard corps allegation that the british subject was indeed a journalist a lot of charity work well the thing you can't do is to is to hide things and and lying to foreign governments and i think that what morris said was. was actually appropriate and i say that has his normal critique of boris johnson and i think it was it was perfectly appropriate even if it endangered the lives of the rain ians are a terrible regime they are causing
10:59 pm
a huge amount of of of upset really that is your view surely the important issue is to save the life of a british subject and i understand the borat spoke to the iranians and i don't i don't know what is clearly both ways you trust the iranians after boars agree with and you don't trust them before he said no i don't trust the iranians as far as i could throw the what do you mean iranians at work i've no idea what the iranians said i wasn't privy to that to that conversation but i'm sure he explained the situation to the iranians and we'll have to wait and see what the outcome of that is we know that this government since twenty ten the tories of obviously taking a tougher stance than gordon brown attorney blair on tax avoidance and tax dodging . what did you what was your reaction to the fact that. tax dodging fees to be going on an industrial scale well i think the thing that you've got to remember here is the enormous hypocrisy on the part of the labor party because in the wash
11:00 pm
up to the general election they forced through changes that would have created eight point six billion pounds for the u.k. treasury and they simply didn't want to want to pursue them so i think that i'm not going to accept any criticism from the labor party. over the paradise paper you know worried that there is a maze has been involved has been does. ineffective adviser on tax dodging i'm not i'm not in the slightest worried by that i'm sure that he can defend himself on this but quite honestly i think there are bigger things that the cons country needs to concentrate on and as i said it needs to concentrate on the hypocrisy of the labor party in turning down the offer to recoup one point six billion for the u.k. eligible of partisan politics so no it's not if it isn't politics it's an actual
