between trump and the problem prior to that the clinton e-mail investigation which went nowhere and then there's lisa page a lawyer for the department of justice who also worked for robert muller the couple came into prominence back in december when their private text conversations were released to congress girls hillary should win . i know. and maybe you're meant to stay away you are because you're a man to protect the country from that manifest. thanks it's absolutely true that we're very very fortunate and of course i'll try and approach it that way these text messages prove that both struck and page were biased in favor of hillary and the messages even hint at some nefarious political activity so when they wanted to dig deeper it turned out the rest of their conversation had disappeared the f.b.i. ascribed the dates lost to misconfiguration issues related to rollouts provisioning and so for upgrades the conflicts with the f.b.i. his collection capabilities but let's look at the time frame these text messages

december fourteenth two thousand and sixteen through may seventeenth twenty eight seventy and when did muller's investigation into prussian blue should start oh look may seventeenth twenty seventeen surprisingly convenient the timing is just too coincidental seems that they were trying to plant the evidence somehow as an insurance policy thinking that trump had no way of getting elected and then when he did scrambling in order to try to stop the election or to create the necessity of an impeachment of trump they were conspiring inside the f.b.i. to figure out how to catch trump on some sort of you know criminal activity having a russian connection russian money laundering being involved with putin in the in the russian trump collusion of which they provided zero evidence. and the f.b.i. is not the only organization where crucial data for legal proceeding to inadvertently gone missing the national security agency says it had by mistake deleted

information it had earlier pledged to keep the data was related to the presidential surveillance program or p.s.p. which included warrantless wiretapping during george w. bush's time in office the b.s.p. internet's constant merged great cheerier that were broadly used to delete dead of a certain type in response to mission requirements to free up space and improve performance of the backup system the n.s.a. has no reason to believe at this time that the constant data was specifically targeted for deletion. now with turkey's military campaign against the kurds well underway in northern syria the conflict seems to have spilled over into germany a mass fight broke out between almost two hundred people a turkish airlines task at hand over airport a large pro kurdish protest was taking place against turkey's actions in syria when our video news agency ruptly caught the moment it turned violent.

one thing was the first thing the. anchor began its latest military operation against kurdish groups in syria last week claiming the kurdish forces there a terrorist the ball in hand over airport resulted in police reportedly using pepper spray to separate the two groups with or it is also deployed twenty vehicles to the scene. still to come one of the world's largest consulting firms has been accused of multiple illegal dealings the details after this break. it'll. lead.

to. pearl. lemme walk on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace talks forcing you to fight the battles they don't believe in you stop spreading tell you that will be gossip and probably by a little supporters they. talk about telling you are not cool enough and let's buy their products little. things all the hawks i mean

a lot of our lives were. welcome back to the program russia's defense minister has revealed that moscow is in talks with several nations over the purchase of a russian made state of the art and silent defense system. joins me live now in the studio with more details so let's start with buying well the top man in the russian army didn't specify but he mentioned the region's status several countries in the middle east and also south east asia and that is the region that mr shaw is currently touring but that wasn't the only so to say teaser from the russian defense minister he went on to say that whenever he talks to the military bosses from other countries there is always some sort of discussion about potential

contracts to buy russia's top defense tech so if we are to believe him soon we we'll we are meant to find out who's next to get the us four hundred ysaye next means russia has already sold these before it's not true well turkey's already got a contract and when these papers were signed it was indeed big news because turkey is obviously a nato member and a key ally of the u.s. in the region in they chose to use the russian air defense system to keep their skies safe someone else in the middle east which is all but who is sorry all but dependent on america when it comes to their military might is saudi arabia and the saudi delegation was in moscow king saul mon of course as well they agreed with russia on a deal as well china wants to buy it india too and perhaps as we understand

now that list will get longer it sounds like it's a very. piece of equipment what are the advantages of this particular system well i can tell you that for now internationally by experts it is described as one of the most advanced air defense systems in the world and perhaps that explains the demand as you were saying but i can tell you that currently it is the russian air defense shield for the russian army units in syria so let's take a look at a bit of the s four hundred in action. i. i. i i i. i i.

i. i i. so to just for you to get an idea of some of its features the s four hundred can be hit to eighty targets at the same time the range is more than four hundred kilometers and also the targets can be travelling at a speed of almost five kilometers per second and still in that case the s four hundred will be able to eliminate these kind of targets in terms of the contract the potential contracts that we were talking about and that's who was talking about sunil see if the countries that buy the systems will prove to be

a surprise. there thanks very much for the update on the s. four hundred thankfully. one of the largest consulting firms in the world ernst and young has been accused of multiple illegal dealings a former employee who says he was fined driven for revealing the allegations disclosed the accounting giant is involved in bribery money laundering and the cover up of illicit gold purchases from conflict zones. has the details the story hidden in the court papers filed by this order to against his exposes could be one of the grandest smuggling scams greed money laundering and baghdad dealings many. it in billions of dollars. is accusing one of the world's biggest auditing firms of covering up the tracks over dubai precious metals megacorp act one. ernst and young for an audit inspectors come to dubai and the first thing they see is a pile of moroccan gold buyers casually bundled up on

a desk stacks of gold at a gold refinery could be business as usual except these buyers are literally painted silver in order to sneak them into dubai four to five tons of gold gold bars coated silver smuggled old to more cool arriving in dubai declared as gold when the team found the discussed it with with colucci the admitted this is the way of doing business with the with these moral consult lawyers inspectors do some more digging and what they reveal brings us to act two some of the precious metal in kolaches coffers could be blood gold shuffling through papers auditor's discover the refinery was more than happy to shake hands with small mining operations in sudan and the democratic republic of congo apparently colossi asked for no licenses offering cash in hand in exchange for gold proceeds from search sales and conflict

torn countries are known to directly fuel gang wars which are responsible for hundreds of civilian deaths soldiers naam group leaders see in control of the gold mines as a way to money guns and power for forty two of the ruthlessly often targeting civilians in the process so ernst and young employees calm through colossus cash transactions that's when we get to act three apparently the company deals in cash almost as much as in conventional bank transfers that's billions of dollars going into a legal black hole impossible to trace so the auditor's diligently record every failure of the dubai giant but there's no pattern. the bad for them from the boss we requested a meeting with the babies to get it or when they realized that we're not going to alter our findings or change them they went ahead and. changed their own guidelines in such a way that our findings and our final conclusions will not be made public ernst and

young have denied allegations they were in cahoots with the group the dubai refinery is still in business saying there's been no material impact on their ability to operate or trade i'm just rehired the man who led the team and expose the alleged wrongdoings says the audit ing giant branded him a troublemaker and sacked him so is blowing the whistle a noble thing or just a falls there and in this saga it's left up to the court. of r.t. . it turns out a north korean pop star who is thought to have been executed is now going to lead to country's delegation at the upcoming winter olympics and it's not the first time there's been confusion of the well being of high profile figures from that part of the world.

so that's the roundup of our top stories don't forget to check us out on social media on twitter you tube on our website that's all to dot com i'll be back at the top of the hour with the latest news so don't go away. we're going. here every year ago better because like mine i talk to right here that this was their your choice ok to go to all kinds of crazy. now experiencing a bit of a fall back. yes it was but a quick. walk up. to. the up in the last election imo yes he will do it so will most of the young and we will see you all but you know one of the up and stuff and wishes i shall keep you from

thank you for coming on the scene of the moment i was scott's movie leave the two cops believe you know t.g.c. easy should resign if you took the stage. it was more than a million bucks to look up the procedure to the i machine you can you get other cool useful but then you tell us maybe you did to miss told me my so this mission i'll post a. little . a little.

ratings and sell you taste well thankfully after a weekend of federal government shutdown we are still standing here in the united states of dysfunction at noon on monday the shutdown ended not with a great bang. saying with a whimper of a vote to once again kick the federal funding can down the road for another three weeks or so presumably so the democrats republicans can better hone their blame game skills and further perfect their abject irresponsibility towards their jobs and us citizens senate minority leader chuck schumer announced monday that after several discussions offers and counteroffers the republican leader and i have come

to an arrangement we will vote today to reopen the government to continue negotiating a global agreement. i'm sorry charles but you can't put enough polish on this latest congressional debacle because it is and will always be a permanent staying on the linoleum countertop that is us politics sadly my friends the stains are many and frankly guests are really starting to take notice and stage right the twenty eight thousand idle men trust barometer published just in time for the world economic forum's meeting in davos switzerland by the idle and global communications marketing for i don't trust barometer in case you haven't guessed by now measures the public's trust in various institutions and governments and according to their latest daniel port report trust in the us has suffered the largest ever recorded drop in the surveys history among the general

population and even more outstanding is the trust among the informed public in the us imploded plunging twenty three points making it now the lowest of the twenty eight countries surveyed. so let us thank our illustrious democrats and republicans for destroying our faith in a working government and forcing us all to start watching the whole. what. the. real thing is. as you keep the ball out of it. like you know that i got. this.

week so. welcome everybody to watching the harks i am i robot and i am having the while i'm in this shutdown yes the shutdown has finally ended we've got to it was epic we didn't know if the sky was going to follow up things were going to explode if seven eleven wouldn't be opened or what other horrible catastrophe would befall on our seven eleven are we open because unlike the government when you work at seven eleven you don't get to just shut the story down because you don't like. the price of thing like like a little crazy tabloid they put another stop gap which i think is their fifty five keeping track for coming up to this but they put another stopgap in basically just to keep the government funded to just do their job why was that simple call i know this stuck out and as of february i believe eighth and you know after the latest circus you know fighting and chip and like all these things are fighting over is

there any hope for the united states congress to actually get their act together do you have hope to have with the congress will one day act like congress and do things not with this congress you know there are. on the usual dish and all just feel like liquid prize from the moving boxes and so often just little by guides to moving they should just start moving and getting their office this fact up because they're not going to make it through their next election cycle whoever they're there is that they're not doing any work and i'm not the only person who thinks that the this is a matter of trust can you do the job will you have results well we're seeing no results and this isn't just for one year this is for four years eight years twelve years sixteen years this isn't new and that's what that item and survey actually is according to the report you have no country saw steep declines in the united states you had a thirty seven aggregate point aggregate drop in trust along across all american

institutions and at the opposite end of the spectrum you have china that experienced a twenty seven point gain more than any other country so here is this you know the big scary communist china that's going to take over the whole world they literally have more trust their people have more trust that's incredible that's a great it's when it's an interesting group or here's a democracy it doesn't it shouldn't be that hard to earn the trust of people if you believe in what you're saying then the people will believe in it but that's the problem our politicians don't believe what they say they just i don't think so i mean chuckle schumer i think you know people can say oh he's such a smart strategist and he's brilliant of what he does and then to me his strategy is just kind of failure after failure after failure at least actually doing the good of the people the same of the republican side because the rise i mean it's not a point of i'm sorry everybody hates congress because congress doesn't do their job well the c.e.o. of the gettleman richard the c.e.o. who produced the study actually. he called this lack of trust in the government the

ultimate irony because when you think about it all we've heard about is how unemployment is down and the stock market is so great. and this is where you see that huge chasm between the a leaves and the rest of the country this is why you had the election we had because they don't realize that nobody who is the one percent cares about the stock market because it doesn't change what our what our paychecks look like it doesn't change how much you know your mom or your grandma or whoever has to buy milk it doesn't change that you have to pay your rent you're not going to magically just because all the stock market's doing great you have it doesn't affect most people don't have their money in the stock market tragically you know what i'm sure about i don't doubt it but yeah i mean it's like you know look you've got people like star burgers going crazy more our reserve people are excited more about bitcoin certainly are about to start morgan at the end of the day there's a very it's this disconnect here so what is it with the big board the reason that

people like it is that politicians can have their hands on it going to hell is at some point you have to just say to trust in the media is going down the trust and trust in our institutions it isn't trust in the institutions as they stand it's the people who are running i could and that's why certain systems don't work because you've had person after person after all it's just we've been we've got our money stolen we've been spied upon we've you know wall street bailed out there you know we have whistleblowers being thrown in jail there is no public trust in government because government has not earned our trust you know and that's what they are missing they just assume hey i get the job people automatically trust me no you get the job and you actually have to do the work of the people not the lobbyists and the people pulling your strings. for decades teenagers have climbed water towers car service tried to drink a gallon of milk eight ghost peppers and generally did incredibly stupid things to gain acceptance or amusement of their peers the tired pod challenge is the latest

teen stunt to terrify adults and the media these alondra pods of small packets made out of dissolvable jelly containing concentrated laundry detergent are meant. for convenience but their colorful appearance has allegedly caused an epidemic of children and teens eating the laundry pods. or has it according to the current headlines there's no doubt that something must be done to end the scourge of teens even longer progs for fun their children mistaking them for candy senator chuck we must investigate snort chocolate schumer has been on the laundry pod case since two thousand and twelve when he made this claim at an official press conference saying quote these pods were supposed to make household charts easier not ten dog children to swallow harmful chemicals i saw one on my staffers desk and i wanted to eat it and put since twenty twelve procter and gamble the company behind pas has added

a bitter tasting but non toxic coating to the outside for the pods to deter children for biting into that they've added additional locks to the containers and are educating the public on how to keep them out of the hands of toddlers but according to the american association of poison control centers and twenty seventeen more calls came in regarding hand sanitizer toothpaste deodorant mouthwash more than the laundry pods in fact the calls which were mostly regarding children under five and over half of which aren't even related to an actual ingestion have gone down fourteen percent since two thousand and fifteen. so. is asking. that corporations and the government become our defacto nanny is really the best use of our fragile democracy. and well now we know why the government is in disarray because good old chuckles schumer apparently has been more interested in whether people eat laundry pods and literacy on supportable chocolate really is this is this how far we've fallen that it's congress's job to think about these

things i'm sorry when i was growing up you know we had iron metal playgrounds we had things that actually hurt us and you know the classic george carlin routine of little johnny swallows the marble than the other little kids realize it we shouldn't swallow marbles you know and we have to kind of what god's will was darwinism child rearing it's right we have mr yes kids too there's this idea i mean you think there should be something you do you can't just be like oh who cares you know of course i mean there should be some sort of safety measures but it's not what it's like really is this a huge problem that we need to have story after story and all of these politicians talking about bills to protect the children what because their parents don't want to parent right i mean i'm sorry if teenagers on you tube want to eat stupid things for clicks and then they get hurt and go to the emergency room will everybody watches that and says hey i don't want to eat that because americans are going to go to the emergency care. now it's sort of strange is that well there was that

there was a study actually in the journal pediatrics and ages one to three accounted for seventy two percent of cleaning products to little babies poisoning so there's more time on these cleaning household products forty percent of those poisonings came from cleaners in spray bottles so tight let me ask why are we regulating spray bottles that's a good question you shouldn't say that too loud this close to capitol hill we might start seeing them suddenly be like oh my gosh spray bottles we have to go regulate that you know i mean of course you put your you put labels on it no. that but i think it's just because it's like you know hey this is a new fangled fancy thing that you know these things of have only come out like these positive a little recently so it was i mean that's a funny when people say like they've never been around but this washer has made possible like this for a long you know back in our day and we had a deep and tired read out of the box where he would have our there was what i want to bother you know what's really fascinating to i was according to the consumer

product safety commission there have been a total of five deaths in the u.s. related the to the ingestion of one hundred five out of three hundred million people and most of those were from but don't swear suffering from dementia but even kids that this kind of smells like that you know were the out the the candy bar with the with the razor blade in a blade or that's never ever happened that only people poisoned by hollowing can you work within the same family. yes as you can drugs which by the way were a government shutdown so if you wanted to rags running get them now and bring them back grab some for me to because there's no one there to stop us it's crazy oh i'm well it's interesting because i think it's so funny that there is this idea that we have to it's always like keeping teenagers from smoking big teenagers from drinking keeping them from doing drugs keeping them from having sex will just tell them not to do it and tell them everything is dangerous and it seems that chuck schumer is so shocked that kids you know to do crazy things there's actually

a study cornell college of human ecology had studied this back in the early twenty four or twenty two thousand this idea of why do kids do this so what she said is teens often decide that the benefits of risky behavior immediate gratification for gratification or peer acceptance outweighs the risks. and we need to we needed studies multiple studies to explain the guys on capitol hill. teens do stupid stuff for attention and if you tell them they're not supposed to they're just go and even though it means they're going to make more so you keep bringing it up to me it's just teams are going to be teams and you know johnny the year old's going to swell the larboard are all going to be sad but shouldn't be swallowing the marble anyway as we go to break card watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics covered up facebook and twitter see our full soles of our t. dot com coming up former cia analyst ray mcgovern and the hawk's nest because the n.s.a. and the f.b.i. sudden onset the butterfingers of pope agencies are now being accused of

accidentally on purpose deleting controversial important data stay to lunch. as you read the senate had tea with him last night and i. have. no problem what has . run out of it i know right now i think that there are guys that you know that i thought for four and a kid and that i. only use the unlucky but i'm going to cut him then you cut them and keep an eye on what i have to lose a child for trying.
