passion from the fans it's the age of the superman ija kill the narrowness and spending two hundred twenty million on one player. so it's an experience like nothing else on to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so one more chimes for. the base this minute. you mean you don't see why sued the teachers what they did they could it's. what they need most are only ten spaces. made still left in the building said. cement plug into you know terminated especially that so. alex you speak french. there's all the while that

same thing here will send them full to noon for this morning is talk of the slowness busy cut up towards the end. i went to her with her to look for the past front. of the class struggle still going or. maybe go with the terms of the unions but for instance right in terms of the empire. that you came only. nobody's ever found you go get me one. you're wasting your time they've got a. very evil people you know they do things to fame these and they do

things to the young and the. opposite sex if you notice even ceases to be and never stick. with my. own kentucky county it's hard learned produce the most cold at a time in which most of what power do united states. came from kentucky. today the thirty three active minds in harlan employ last than to austin. some of the old mines have even been converted into museums. laid off left with nothing since the ninety's manny leave off was for they don't see any other options in the she'll handouts in time on employed and are the usual customers swill her uncanny was founded on coal and

there's a reason marin county was billed as the reason for. that is having cameras live if they squeeze what aren't any of the building code and they got cold there's nothing else here we don't have the luxury of the cities we don't have factories we don't in the reason not as good as a sales associate in the mountains we don't have the road boys and it's hard to say a mantra is going to get me in a day and that. i go flip hamburgers at the local mcdonald's or i go down here peace joy and make pay to. work that's not something i deals over horrors real boom voices. you can walk straight fanny's dream only if you did more to get run over people goes both ways you're some big. old man story very strong and numerous give more for their bodies everywhere you home will. continue these days

i'll give you it is the man is the only. person who are in good will go to t.j. and i'll. call my uncles that were good examples he was working to save these he now stacked in years and years. and they tell me not to give to god will not be coming out of me what i'm doing. is i don't because i'm in here and you know the chant four years ago i'm going to go think. they're going to let you go through rich or poor people growth rates are below. zero we're now in the home. as i was eighteen years old it was around me and i. worked in a coma for five years underground two years service from. the waiter here and. take. my two

hours and thirty cents an hour bus to it and since there are no my town anymore. tears are very good. here not as much money in the time. when my doing here i just got out of jail what. possession of stolen property. i'm not here. jails jail. as. i feed you three times a day. before t.v. . always does. all those things you. need you. here with me. it's no.

i'm the gun guy here at the pawn shop here for the past five years we take everything from you know d.v.d.'s to. boat motors or whatever you want to madge and we have some motorcycles smoking the mining equipment like us say we would take a lot of that stuff you would sell a four hundred dollar mining helmet maybe once a week the lights daily but the fact of the mining mines are shut down makes it difficult to sell that stuff because these were so these were being sold to personal miners for their own use they're not in mining anymore course they're not buying that. line. here. where all of them are very accounting. ever. in the states is tough today it's hard to see any traces of the turbulent past there once made harlan the tories. the county is still mostly dry

and once one for years people used to make moonshine knowledge drugs are on the rice a trust pain killers prescribed by doctors to treat danger and six miners now ask a problem the emptiness. there's a lot of people here there's a big reaction or a. nurse said yes and. in three minutes anything that makes him feel better and they think makes him feel better. we have a lot of problems with items that are coming in that are stolen. maybe not just from drug users. but that is a problem and i say guinness desperation to try to get some money to maintain a habit you know and i think since all this you know the mining and depression of the mining everything it's caused. a rising pills. it's the pills or the new

alcohol. you're talking about the forty's in the. forty's and fifty's yeah. so in the fifty's well we made lucy so. here in december we pick up ovaries blackberry so we'll be able to help her as we carry in freezer yourself for dollar again. the black berries will we got a quarter again we get a list you know all. muddy from there to close and some food for them we're. mostly what with troy in the food was corn below is lower. so we would go a bit they'll be we're also yesterday. flat. in the beginning i would only have to take a few back and they wanted them last found it towards the end of maryland state.

family and. maybe before they switched. to the ones in jail. and went for a feed you know or they hand it to sales now or they have the jobs are gone. shut him down all the coal mines are said. live to come ours is live in nature in a van with people. in poverty. it's no more. i walk the same road sign a sounder push tiny walk. and works from the opening. after his book come to my mind. it was nineteen eighty eight my fifth visit to harlan county i was on the winding road from harlan to our birds driving a borrowed pick up truck when i began to notice the road kill it was

a dangerous road with more than its share of adventures drivers and it was getting dark. i began to think of the many ways in which that was a presence in this land that any most their road accidents and of course the corn mines beyond and block long. returning to new york living behind harlan in the endless rain. i tried to put together the pieces sober remotes were to i only got a glimpse off. my own with wonder where all that energy came from. the energy that lights up the luxury. there was leaving his whole bar is worth what hurt is

a little girl's grave. all the daddy dear daddy please don't go away when they're both good little with. all they don't go to the. madre would. come true. oh oh daddy dear daddy plays doll away. with. the. league down south where they. claim to know all. he

was gone. down. he. didn't steal or still be. the only. years ago i traveled across the united states exploring america's deadly love affair with a gun if

a bad guy tried to get to one of my family members he would have better live better and i think they are inheriting whenever my my baby says my book was published in the year two thousand more than the whole for a million americans have been killed by forums in the us how to thought to me as i did this is a middle school we go through drills and we put ourselves in a real scenario so it was interesting to see who actually got hit by the. other saudi to return to the subject to track down each gun owner who i'd met and photographed those years ago. but we are not.

across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies. this is the simple song. elsewhere they invite private companies to take over the utilities. because. this is. the left over a lot of locals are ready to stand up for the basic human right of access to water it's about water but it's also much more like it's about the hurt and the redistribution of all of. us. downwards.

headlines on our internet trump says no to more sanctions on russia despite signing a fresh batch of the. state department says what's currently in place is sufficient and it's not going down too well with the democrats. the u.s. house votes to release a secret memo that said to expose the misuse of f.b.i. surveillance powers against donald trump but some republicans saying the revelations are quote worse than watergate. and fitness bracelets might be

a soldier's worst enemy they could reveal secret locations around the world have been training. have been training. very well welcome to you from all of us here at r.t. international it's a busy day for worldwide headlines let's get right into it. trump has again sent the us media and democrats into meltdown with the state department now saying there's no need for fresh sanctions against russia it comes after congress voted almost unanimously for a package of restrictions back in the summer today we have informed congress that this legislation and its implementation are deterring russian defense sales the

ministration had a decision to make whether they would follow the law and crack down on those responsible for attacking american democracy in two thousand and sixteen we estimates that foreign governments have abandoned planned or announced purchases of several billion dollars in russian defense acquisitions the administration that should not rest in this effort. if the law is working sanctions on specific entities when vigils will not need to be imposed the bill was passed in congress in august of last year and trump reluctantly signed it the administration had a monday deadline to name foreign companies and entities doing business with russia and possibly impose new sanctions on them under the bill but trump says the existing measures are enough picking up the story r.t. correspondent. u.s. president donald trump has announced that he is not implementing new sanctions against russia he's actually going against what was decided by the u.s.

congress immediately donald trump has been criticized for not imposing new sanctions they see this is yet another example of donald trump having a strange relationship with russia or possibly colluding we've heard many of these allegations since the election really did come into power with a burning desire for some reason to help russia out by easing up on the sanctions against them presidents talk about russia is so consistently niall the bill that was passed to the countering america's adversaries through sanctions act specifically allows the government the united states to impose sanctions on countries that do business with countries targeted by the bill the usa can impose sanctions and can begin the process of imposing sanctions on countries that do business with russia's intelligence or defense sectors now allies of the united states in western europe nato countries among them there were some that were not happy about these new sanctions as they prevent them from doing business with

russia nearby neighbor and trading partner we've heard a lot of anger from german officials belgian officials are also not happy about these new sanctions being imposed on russia that will have a negative impact on their economy and this is potentially driving away between the united states and other nato members and countries when it comes to all the allegations of russia meddling moscow has of course consistently denied all of them but with the house of representatives mitt coming up in november a key u.s. figures keep insisting on possible interference brook's not going to go where the russians have been at this a long time and i fully expect though continue to be do you have concerns that they might try and interfere in the u.s. midterms which are coming of course. every expectation that they will continue to try to do the. political commentator believes that trump is the last post and that putin wanted as the next u.s. president trump is the guy in my opinion whose existence and character and conduct

as president proves as everyone would prove that he's the last guy vladimir putin wanted to be president of the united states he's not compliant he isn't their guy that was operating on previous plans of cooperation with russia the way hillary clinton did and donald trump is a guy who is his own man and sees america as something to be preserved and enhanced trump has juice satisfy congress because everything is always about domestic politics here in america he's got to satisfy congress that he's ready to do that and willing to act against russia so that they won't continue to believe and continue to construct a media narrative that somehow he colluded with putin to steal the election it's not just sanctions that have been complicating relations between russia and the u.s. so have of course allegations of collusion the house intelligence committee has just voted to release a secret memo that could potentially blow the lid off the whole trump russia

conclusions saga this memo should be immediately released to the american public i had that same feeling i was like wait a minute this actually happened from our justice department and this first and loudest voices calling for transparency for integrity and openness within all levels of government there has been a real attempt to undermine this president we're not attacking the f.b.i. . we are seeking clarity transparency and understanding of what went on it's still unknown what's inside the classified memo but it's the content relates to alleged russia collusion its claim to the document reveals that the f.b.i. and the department of justice misused the surveillance powers while investigating meddling in the twenty sixteen u.s. elections we discussed this with political analyst and author and she says that if the allegations in the memo turn out to be true it will be

a scandal of unprecedented proportion. we entrusted our government with the powerful tools of surveillance in order to fight terror and our worst fear i think was that they would use those tools to spy on us but if we find out this is true then that means the unthinkable has happened that the party in power was using those powers to them to spy on their opponents to stay in power that is by far the biggest scandal in u.s. history there's no comparison i think our american intelligence services will need an entire o'barr overhaul and we're going to have to re-evaluate the kinds of powers that we the people give our government because power here comes from people and goes to government if this is all true they did this to protect their own power which is the greatest aberration of the trust that we put in their own. fitness truckers have unexpectedly highlighted

a major security flaw for military forces and australian student was able to do so on the locations of secret military bases by looking at a global map indicating where people exercised the most elite to trying to explain . did you know now anyone who's got an internet browser can locate even the most secret army bases around the world say journalists thanks to these little things so how come people are saying fitness trackers could have become the soldiers' worst enemy look at this global heat map by a g.p.s. tracking company wherever it gets bright are the areas of the stronger apps most active use some places seem totally black like of ghana's stand for instance but we know there are american soldiers and parts of it zoom in tot all the little bright dots is where sam must hang out or to be more precise exercise it was

a twenty year old student who first noticed how easy it was to find the u.s. bases this particular track looks like it logs or break into jogging route a shouldn't be able to establish any pattern of life from this far away so that's a real threat which the pentagon's admitted while only a few years ago they were happy to distribute thousands of fit bits among staff by the way there must be a number of temporary or even permanent u.s. bases that we don't know about journalists have zoomed in on areas around mosul and iraq and roc-a in syria we're told uncle sam is there to train and assist since the rest of iraq and syria are pretty much all black perhaps locals don't really have many of these devices so it's fair to assume that the bright spots are where americans train others and train themselves another journalist remembered this article and scrawled all the way to the capital of somalia

some heavy jargon activity on the beach around to it looks like the reported cia annex at mogadishu airport no one can say for sure all of this is correct but the. cern is out there u.s. troops security issues aside i was going to show you the koreas how's that for a contrast but even in pyongyang there are a couple of bright zigzags could it be mr kim enjoying a bit of western technology well i bet he'll never tell us. there will be no russian flag at the twenty eighteen winter olympics in south korea the international paralympic committee has up held its ban on team russia it was allowing clean athletes to compete as neutrals two months earlier a similar decision was taken by the international olympic committee but while all eyes are on russia now allegations of doping violate.
