donald trump's oath of office means nothing this is one of the most radical and not your own speeches we've ever i'm not going to give you can you speak out you are faked is. donald trump's incoherence is all a direct result of the. chance of losing russian cool u.s. officials are growing increasingly concerned about possible russian intrusion. we've just launched fifteen. missiles heading to iraq where we're headed to syria. heading towards syria. you just got back from the middle east because the saudi arabia is.

still. going to go. like. they are totally prepared for the second option totally destroy north korea is a sick puppy the north korean regime is calling the president trouble for words. a

load of nonsense obviously he's a pretty smart cookie. he wish you a very happy i don't. think you know what's going on and the love that's all over is you. know all of that. and some of those issues already seeping through into the second year of trump's absolutely shocking that's how a group of us republican congressmen reacted after seeing the new top secret intelligence document they believe it details the abuse of surveillance powers under the obama administration i had that same shock feeling i was like wait a minute this actually happened from our justice department and this f.b.i. that's how serious this is that there has been a real attempt to undermine this president that is the type of information that we need all americans to see immediately the american people deserve. they mosques

they want to know what's in this document sadly much of the mainstream media will not be covering this today but in this house on this day let us know that indeed we are still one nation under god and willing to protect life the content of the secret talk amount is obviously unknown and it's still unclear whether or not it will actually be released but judging from the comments made by the republicans it's thought it could potentially outline a serious political bias within the f.b.i. and department of justice during the investigations into the whole so-called trump russian collusion claims well the democrats also were quick to react to this memo denouncing all of its content and they called the document a profoundly misleading set of talking points which attacks the f.b.i. and gives a distorted view of the bureau of t.v. host and political commentator steve malzberg thinks the democrats have

a good reason for wanting to hide this memo from the public. i think it's going to put a bigger cloud than already exists there has been a lot of talk that some members of the obama administration illegally and without any reason no rhyme went and got a warrant against american civilians who were fairly it would trump with absolutely no reason to have those obtain do you think obama didn't know about any of this this was his justice department his f.b.i. they were trying to get hillary elected i think this is going to go right to the top and by the way if this is such a bunch of nothing and that's bad talking points blah blah blah blah blah from adam schiff in the democrats on the committee then why not vote to release it so you could clear all this up whether everybody see it the democrats want to hide this document and we better get to the bottom of it and we all need to see it just on a quarter past the hour here in the russian capital we are back in just about.

him a winner take all mentality it's a lottery mentality in america you know what are are your dead in the pharmaceutical companies of course a lobbyist going to washington to change the laws of a possible to handle all costs in america and nobody cares because it ever learned the lessons of world war two did they say let's do it again. in order to overthrow the regime it does take popular discontent and popular mobilization but it also requires actors with the leadership of the regime who feel that the regime is no longer serving the national interest you need people in the military or the bureaucracy for both who are willing to see the regime change otherwise they would be able to put down a popular revolt but did not have support at higher levels.

good to have you with us today for the program a british student has been making headlines after appearing on a radio program then confessing how sympathies towards communism forty excuse me twenty four year old fiona lolly told a b.b.c. programme she felt communism was never given a chance to develop in the soviet union and therefore it didn't actually fail well the whole story whipped up a storm of debate over how universities are luring students to the left with one professor repeatedly quoted saying she's downplaying the crimes of stalin well we spoke to her ourselves about this storm. i think it's completely hypocritical and

very typical of academics like him to kind of passionately you know talk about the deaths under the save even but i think this is you know very much selective outrage the media in general obviously don't paint marxism or socialism or really any kind of left wing politics in a in a positive light and that's because obviously in you know the media is owned by some group of people in the major is owned by a billionaire class and have certain interests they want to protect i think people can think for themselves and i wouldn't take their headlines since the general opinion of the british population it's not surprising this story was used upon it seems a red alerts have been flashing in the british media more as of late much was made of the prime minister wearing a bracelet featuring frida kahlo a communist known for her concerns about the poor elsewhere a buzz feed's science editor was forced to lock down host social media accounts due

to abuse of the writing that she wanted communism for christmas. but does the public share the red fear of the media well according to a new opinion poll nine percent of young adults view communism as a danger to the world and to big business nearly a quarter think actually posed the biggest threat political activist george barda gave us his opinion on the story. what one needs to remember is that anybody of my age and older in this country and certainly in the u.s. and across much of the west identify you know communism the soviet union and the hard left or extreme left as pretty much different aspects of the same thing in the one nine hundred fifty s. when when the soviet union was showing very significant great significant rates of economic growth the mainstream for policy journals were very much kind of writing these defensive narratives to try and explain away why the demonized

system was apparently doing so well i think one needs to distinguish between the propaganda and the historical reality. italy's launched a website targeting fake news the move comes ahead of marches general election if someone wants to report a fake all they have to do is click a special link online. the service will allow users to identify fake news online a team has been set up to analyze the authenticity of anything flagged up by using special software italian interior minister has been heaping praise on the system but some experts remain a little bit more skeptical. it's an entirely transparent and legitimate public service tool aimed at protecting citizens from unfounded news there is not even the

slightest intention to enter the political debate you cannot create the people checking news because everything that we are talking about it's an opinion at the end you can check the region of the news you will never read area independent to see what is truth what is fake so i think we should try to. fix the all media system. to. have an independent media system and then we can talk about thinking as they are not. us the disability rights foundation has hit out at film directors for failing to cast people with disabilities to portray the disabled or the group's president says it's offensive and humiliates actors with disabilities a group of whom have accused directors of discrimination over something the problem

is being exaggerated. i think. you know your voice. calling it's just i think it is saying is everyone else not smart most everyone else not smart. but i know look here yeah yeah there are drugs or get back in the closet are we going to discourage this is that you don't shrug ever storm. the computer. models are ok. in a thirty years since my oscar win when no other actor with a disability has appeared in only. in the major motion picture it is clear to us that having actors playing disabled in

a fan take and so many particularly to draft community culturally offensive. my name is stephen. when we go down that road towards regulating free speech to that extent we ruin drama we ruin cinema some of the greatest overtures to people with mental disabilities physical disabilities have been given to us in cinema by non disabled people so it's all about how they're being portrayed marlena matlin has been a great example of someone who has participated in comedy about her disability

because she thinks that it's important to make sure that people of disability are not treated as a separate class but are treated like everyone else so that is i think at the core of what we're discussing here today thank you for sharing your saturday with us here on r.t. international we are back at the top of the hour. when you don't usually. get a call. to what the north through space. may. lead to no pay. said. claiming to know.

better. so you speak french. yes. that's a new. plan to. say. something did these bring portal problems. not to be only a common market. as we say to be a community of that. to talk to you was of proselytes as if you twitted is song here to power that from moscow. to dominique to it why the their way to be unsettled a community's easy. u.k.

firefighters warning of lives at risk the national health service in crisis and police got steam to disaster for national security you're watching an emergency special of going underground coming up on the show will the government learn any lessons from the karelian crisis tens of thousands of threatened with losing their jobs in the u.k. we speak to an n.h.s. nurse about the public private partnerships the chill edges of destroying our universal health care system and our austerity cuts killing young people on the streets of britain we speak to a former metropolitan police chief with over twenty years experience about why he believes u.k. prime minister tourism a has blood on their hands but the government is not running . really and the government is actually a customer of the caribbean according to the pm the british government is merely

just another customer of the multi-billion pound liquidated private contract or chaired by her former corporate responsibility adviser all the more coming over today's going underground but first across british civic society there appears to be a consensus that years of relative cuts to the n.h.s. universal health care system to bail out the banks have caused a crisis even the normally stoic u.k. health secretary in the past few weeks has apologized for the enforced cancellation of tens of thousands of operations for lack of money that is unacceptable and i apologize wholeheartedly that apology came before the mass multi-billion pound corporate failure of karelian which while not being able to manage itself was put in charge by tourism have managing n.h.s. facilities treating patients right across the united kingdom joining me now is nature's nurse on the front line of britain's universal health care system jackie barry jackie welcome back to going on the grounds eight thousand of karelians twenty thousand staff work in the health sector which means that companies liquidation immediately triggered emergency plans in britain's universal health

care system the n.h.s. just give us an overview of what the private sector does you know government health care system. effectively the private sector have been at large in national health service for twenty thirty years now successive governments have had a policy of outsourcing low risk high yield lucrative contracts to private companies things like portraying cleaning maintenance and i've also been involved in the construction of private finance mischief hospitals where effectively the taxpayer pays enormous amounts of money over the odds to profit construction firms for shiny hospitals that then gets hired into the system contracts where money is drying out of the service away from the fire. and away from the patients so the idea is not what they say obviously they say the government and labor ministers and

tory ministers they all say this is a great we're making things more efficient it was you know just rewarding their friends in big multi-billion pound contracting firms i think if we can learn anything from what's happened really is that actually that's not the case for successive governments so worship to the old to the free market as the bail and end of the delivery of goods and services actually today the chickens are coming home to based the market doesn't work when it comes to the provision of public services essentially what's happened is this government and governments before it have given karelian and companies like karelian by the way they're not the only ones billions of pounds to do work which actually the n.h.s. could do just as well and just cheaply and these companies have effectively used the n.h.s. as a way of siphoning public money public resources well that we. into the

pockets of private shareholders you know korean put their diffidence up last year something like eighteen i seen point four five percent time when they knew the profits were going down so that no these companies don't add any value if anything they just siphon value or whatever call face saving karelian it operate two hundred operating theatres three hundred critical care beds does remember website when we had no running and no eleven thousand inpatient beds on the coalface would you see these of the managers walking around the wards were these so you have people who chest jobs. porto's or cleaners or people who do maintenance but they don't work for the n.h.s. they work for private companies a lot of these people actually used to be and i just stuff through. posting of contrast to the privatisation process which actually not just the tory government

but the labor government before and i've seen a massive proliferation of these sorts of arrangements so because of effectively being tight can out of the n.h.s. and how can i fit into private contracts which means that the conditions of richest the right to collectively organize a stretchin unit where they live in pet why do they leave the private sector because the contracts. the job to do. only are you doing the same job publicly democratically rex you know we're a labor ministers the blairite and equal been people in the parliamentary labor party they don't raise a maze lot with the impress though it's only a website karelians website they have on rival experience in managing critical complex environmental assets and they support thousands of patients and health care professionals on a daily basis to begin with words like that that persuaded our democratically

elected politicians that they're the ones to do it not public sector workers like yourself well i mean mr fancy marketing might go a long white but surely we've had this government and governments before it which has an ideological commitment and they are liberalism to serve. economics where actually it doesn't really matter of all of these companies say that i'll commit to breaking up public services because i feel frightened by what public service is represent and that is the idea of the we will pay him what like what we can and take what we made so when you say it's the labor party that was more the responsibility because this is all pioneered under blair brown actually part of the people the people who supported it mostly the people who tried to were destroyed germy corbin's leadership in the labor party well i think there are some parts of the. the party which have a legacy in privatization of the health service and actually goes beyond the tender

in the pyramid process with things like karelian paget's the way that the n.h.s. is structured an organized in itself give you an example there was announcement a couple of weeks ago the fifty thousand and i guess patients were not going to get their elective surgeries in january or february now that's going to impact not just on those patients who are going to have to wait longer for their hips and their knees and their shoulders but it's also going to impact on n.h.s. trusts because now the n.h.s. is there's no one in h.s. it's divided up into competitive competitive trusts trusts on the basis of work. and it was under brown that an enormous premium enormous tariff was introduced for elective surgery so it means that the n.h.s. won't get that money and i just trust now won't get that money which is going to push more more trust over into into the red in the new financial year and actually

that stems brought back to. the focus was to try and get. his patients to go in and have their operations done in the private sector so it was about transferring wealth transferring assets out of the public purse and into the hands of private companies obviously the cancellation of tens of thousands of. surgery appointments like that is a unique. economies but health secretary jeremy hunt said that because there was flu that flu every year we know there's going to be flu every year and actually the question isn't did it need to happen or didn't happen i don't know prysner level actually there on the beds to put these elective surgery patients him in a lot of cases but why was that allowed to happen why is it that we don't have the beds of these patients we have lost over the last six. think thousand beds from the n.h.s. so we don't physically have the beds to put the patients same way on that even if

we hop the beds we don't have room in hospitals to put patients because we've had asset stripping wear. and we wear land effectively it's been sold off as the private sector and that is a process that big seller right it's reason lies government continues on top of that without having of staff to look off the patients once they're in the beds so you know we've got an operational crisis in place in the n.h.s. i tried to ask the health secretary hunted the tory party conference in manchester about this question why are nurses or mass now leaving the national health service . well we haven't had a pay rise in seven is in fact we have had real times pay cuts value of fourteen percent of the last seven years. workload is increased exponentially where unsupported would you know have enough staff to do the job so when you don't have

enough staff that increases eleven is a stress so it makes it even harder over shifts for nurses and hospital. it depends if everyone mind fitting now was overruled over what undervalued we are underpaid. and for the first time in my in my professional life if i met a young person and he said that i was considering asking i would not encourage them actively discourage them i suppose the defenders near liberalism would say the british actress had to fund the bailing out of the city of london therefore britain's national service already funded of the level as percentage of g.d.p. that the united states has is that when germany and france it has to be cut further critics of course say that it's a deliberate attempt to force people to go private and kill off the n.h.s. we're still you ever witnessed. people around you new doctors and so on saying

maybe you should go pro but you know i don't think it's just saying it out. some people in the n.h.s. who are completely ground down by this government's attempt to dismantle us is that i don't necessarily feel like there's any other option however as a trade unionist and as a health campaigner i feel that we've got a responsibility to give some leadership to people inside actually to know before the n.h.s. is the single greatest achievement of british working people collectively taking action and fighting for something and if we are prepared to let that go we will open up a door to a system like what i have in america now the reason i spend so much more as a percentage of g.d.p. in the united states and we do in the u.k. is because the market is fundamentally an inefficient system the delivery of health care we've witnessed this just over the last couple of days with the collapse of career we want a good thing here and we need to fight not just to defend what we've got but

actually to take back into public ownership the karelian contract the g four s. contrast contrast the people who are running ambulance service up and down the country and the people who are running community services furch ing care and build i fully integrate his national health and social care service now on the basis of cuts and privatization but on the basis of democratic public ownership so that we can give the care that we're trying for so long to be able to do the big. bird i think the demonstration of fair play it's got the upper to potential to be a real lightning rod for a lot of the anger that is out there we have got people dying incognito's on for days implying without seeing a doctor or a nurse that is the situation is an except in a pig lab so everybody's watching if you can come down to london on the third effect. it's typo in the demonstration i said get involved in the most men up and down the country in your community it's offend the national house to send this guy

jackie barry thank you after the break we'll tourism be held responsible for future terror attacks we speak to a former metropolitan police chief with over twenty years experience to believe the government is lying to you about protecting your safety and the minority leader joyce really doesn't even recognize a question from jeremy colvin in our review of this week's british pm q so all this and more coming up about two of going underground. in a winner take all bent out of it's a lottery mentality in america you know where are your dead and the pharmaceutical companies of course a lobbyist going to washington to change laws about possible to handle all costs in america and nobody cares because it ever learned a lot as a wal-mart or did they say let's do it again.

young children have worked in bolivia for generations almost three quarters of a million are doing so today. this culture led to the development of bolivia'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 one doesn't have to miss. these only. leave leave the one took them with us in the end don't. need anything from the things. here. 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 in force and that means the school boy minus continue risking their lives for the money they need to survive. prescribe medication is widespread on the u.s. market and a frequent cause of death at that point in my life i just felt like everything with ashes my family was literally coming unglued i had actually planned. to commit suicide what or who has made antidepressants so commonly used we were doing what the doctors told us to do we were being responsible and what.
