be perfectly clear about this they no one of these people seriously believe that carter page or george papadopoulos these bumbling inturn idiots were russian agents this was an attempt to use their bumbling to get intelligence wire taps inside the trump campaign it's true well what i find especially astonishing about this whole story is that feisal warrant was based on a story written by michael isikoff. and why do you want to get the story from the facts facts from christopher stevens so the story is that d.n.c. campaign paints pace christopher steele so that he would dig dirt on trump seemed. hotels meeting with prostitutes there sleeping on obama's former badly you know in a hotel then michael isikoff takes an interview from this guy and then finally decides oh the whole possible fits together that there is

a conspiracy against the night that's all you do also know that the face of court was not made aware of the origins and the author of this dossier ok what is there not then they also were not told this article that was in the yahoo newsletter was also my suggestion i think i could correct them very easily you know let the fights record just to read my stories about russia i think we should say by. the evidence was so should it be that they were in this rubber stamp court one said no had to be light to look at the words instead it's that. we should stress this again this was the evidence put forward to wiretap an american citizen who was working for trump's campaign or had recently stopped working. in the case of of quarter page that when it was renewed that they not only use this dodgy opposition research. tabloid scandal news from

a foreign spook that the u.s. intelligence community itself says has. minimal. meaning it's its complete you know horse water. but to back it up they used who knows story that is talking to the same people reference in the same document but the biggest shock to most of us might be that yahoo is still out there and that is a comment of mine that when michael isikoff has a book coming on this very subject i must now i wonder if he's going to have to do you would do somebody you were president on do you think here if he wrote a number of books on russia on the middle east you know just read his stories on russia and the media is he's an extremely on objective journalist but i just loved what five states so far so warrant mentioned information on george bush which one but the opals told an australian diplomat in a long time that the mounties profess connected to russia and that he in russia he

said. well even start in secret police would not accept it you know like you would talk to someone in the london for a long time and quit reportedly in connection to the really bad script elements but if you're gentlemen we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on the memo space with art. despite its time given the history of the soviet union has dominated international sport however this was not about the numbers of those champions from.

build them from being bored and be just going to do three dramatic describe who is for the record here you are what the irish the stimulus the good example or your you were the first some of you to limp a team of thousand nine hundred fifty two when pleaded siege survivors concentration camp prisoners and from slime soldiers for still think maybe even that it's good to go from here with corruption because you and much good mood in the ship was wonderful because your birth to fit your infant in one form and through shock forward to get out of this with you if you think that the area or. the variations your question will push through personal personal enthusiasm will hopefully you do when you're at the national more simply repeating your works of winter's chill we are in the will free up rise in time can we. still.

the u.s. is losing until a summer on the climate denying is precluding them from the dissipating in this new economy number one and number two the effects of the climate change and why the catastrophes the global you know migrants that are the result of it all this other problems are hurting the u.s. economy on the other side of the trade so you've got a double bind. welcome back to cross talk where all things considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing the memo. all right gentlemen continue with the memo but i want to change. a different path here and watching him. c.n.n.

there absolutely giving complete cover. i saw one segment with wolf blitzer talking i think it was to a. congressman and he kept talking about his his issue was well why didn't you release it the same time because the democrats are going to have one and finally the congressman was quite polite he said well can we talk about the contents of the memo instead of the timing of a memo we don't know much about because it hasn't been completely written ok this is the tactic again nothing to see move along but they're giving cover to would like i gave the new york times title right here if they don't want to talk about it a lot of people are talking about it it has amazing implications here the the real potential criminality and there is actual not just misuse of authority here questions but there is a potential criminality in if there was false presentation of

evidence through the fires of the secret courts when the f.b.i. investigation was requesting wiretaps on. carter page that's the potential for criminality but it has to be said of course the democrats the neo cons are completely denying they say that things are being taken out of context now they put forward kind of a rebuttal memo headed by adam schiff that's been blocked by the trump ministration that should not be blocked let's let's have all of this out in the open so innocent just like the g.o.p.'s memo it was scoured and it was checked the democrats haven't done their homework they it should be put made public as i think should be it all of the underlying evidence which is clearly not any threat to national security as as as indicated in this memo all the underlying evidence should be unclassified and made public and this is where the hypocrisy of the republicans comes in because they just two weeks ago ruud knew the same flies upon him that mark you know and

printouts republican right to gather and there was no no discussion there was no should no debate have these powers to trump that the democrats say you know is a tire and to put you know a desk but sort of the republicans meanwhile are talking about the deep state which you know of course is also a threat but they don't have a problem renewing the powers either so there's a bit of hypocrisy on both sides here all the evidence needs to be made available to the public you know. what about the moeller investigation i mean if this is you know ten percent of the underline in this is according to the g.o.p. let's be fair. what does the rush investigation have two legs to stand on. and those who put him in that place where he is right now are they upset or they the elected president of the united states and they're going to try to do their

best to go as he was us and to reach their goal despite all the obstacles are only going to be we're going to pick up a lie. a lot of people and is it from the fourth floor of the f.b.i. i mean there's a lot of people in bahrain do you i mean one of the reason i'm asking this is that given the media cover that the state is being given here i mean this is a growing confrontation we have documentation people under oath in front of congress during interviews have lied ok and it can't stop right there we you know rosenstein is still sitting in his office right now yes if one has to wonder what he's doing in the interest of the f.b.i. another single director of that agency now a single director of the cia or the n.s.a. ever went to prison it's not because they were abused or it's not because they never committed crimes according to the american constitution american criminal code but it's because the power of the exercise in the american society in the

american political war there is so overwhelming that they're essentially above the law it's been revealed this time ok we do we have seen behind the curtain here you know this is a growing crisis here because you know there's enough evidence here to put a lot of doubt in this in the let's be clear here i don't want to repeat the same mantra that i keep for the good people of the f.b.i. i have nothing more to say that because i don't know what it is they're all they all they're all studies show that i don't know the interesting thing here this is really again we started out mark you know at the end of the obama administration changing all of those regulations about having access to classified information i'm asking and what not i mean this is falling solely on the administration the just left office of the old obama administration to all these people who were talking about his appointees ok this is coming to. me

different with picture here i think this is an opportunity for trump that i necessarily like him very much but this would be an opportunity for him to clean house and we have justification because every. you know i mean look what of course they're terrified of what that washington. writes about it they're not afraid that people were actually under oath they're afraid that does not trump may wear show up when technique so in far off city at the justice department and the f.b.i. well. and you know you know you want to make it very clear you know some something the you know. all the media does is. unbelievable shadow around the president the united states the president the united states can fire anybody he wants in the executive branch and he doesn't need a reason he can't do it you have one of them they need to it has been trying to deal with that in my tears at me a station they have been doing it every day every hour and every minute of their

coverage and they're going to continue doing it until they believe that the goal but of course even. in the last few days and the myth that there's a constitutional crisis is possible in the near future in the united states because of the situation developing now because it's being as you said correctly it's a train wreck and we need what we have right here you know what. we know and what we said who was it who said it was a clapper you know there's six ways to sunday to get you ok i mean these are this those are that's a threat here and so we have and we d.o.j. and the f.b.i. absolutely have resources to defend themselves but you know they're defending themselves against the constitution this is the crisis that i'm talking well of course they see themselves performing it back and i mean that's peter struck all those messages to his girlfriend yes so the f.b.i. who's officials perjured themselves to the pfizer court in order to get

a warrant or approved then are charging. quarter page papadopoulos with lying about things that actually. weren't criminal to begin with but i think there's two details in these documents that really struck out at me they're not you know pivotal towards criminality but they speak to a wider conspiracy one is bruce or as wife he is working in the attorney general. with she works for fusing g.p.s. and she works specifically on the i was getting this dodgy dossier this tabloid sheet presented to the f.b.i. and she continued contacts even after all of this nonsense was over with similarly andrew mccabe whose whose name is signatory on all these fires documents he is a former f.b.i. assistant director who just resigned when all of this came out in the last couple of weeks his wife ran for office ridge in your state senate as

a democrat getting seven hundred thousand dollars now lies this is all of course it's ridiculous conflicts of nothing to see there. but i like that it does speak to a wider conspiracy and i like the comment from the new york times about all of this the republican assertion that investigative smike of a lot about mr steele is potentially problematic this is nothing compared to a constitutional crisis that may be unleashed by the white house if it decides to fire him your or s. now it seems unlikely deputy attorney general holder was in secret general so when speaking to the f.b.i. with a lawyer it was and wasn't recorded it is what the memory of the. interrogators the york times would never call that problematic who he was a great day anyways so he would have to be caught

a little you want to sit on it as if you were for example accused of grand larceny you were that into an interrogation and then to investigate there were. find out the it had nothing to do with that but in the course of your interview you would see the plant see last series they went to the supermarket to buy milk in the check from the supermarket and said you bought orange juice so you lied on that also yes in the grand jury oh. well i mean i will show. against this new news report that they cherry picked facts right the fact that obama in may two thousand and sixteen promised just seven leaders that trump would not become the president of the united states this elephant is the room in the room is never mentioned the fact that ninety five percent of the mainstream media support that hillary clinton is now one of the things that we need to find in the rest of the ninety percent here is the the importance of these fines and warrants are of such a level of importance that one has to assume that the president of the united

states was aware during his briefings in the morning i think we're going to find out if he was aware of this here on the on the back end of what you were just saying go ahead with my prize of the week goes to john mccain john mccain it out of the most desperate of all the desperate attempts to try to wash over this to try to discredit the memo he said there's only one person that benefits from this memo and we can say it in unison a lot of their proved to you when you were in the oval prize of the week. those are probably going to be the last words that john mccain goes. away from one hundred you can and speaking of the american service if i think some the whole thing up very well this is from the american conservative former us presidential candidate patrick buchanan trumpeters in the press may be terrified that the memo may credibly demonstrate that the poor balls were right that the elite media have been

had that they were exploited and used by the deep state that they'd let their detestation of trump so blind them. to reality but they've made fools of themselves and they credited with high don't belittle a major conspiracy to overthrow an elected president of the night it's and despite all that came out of the last few days that deep state and try birth miller and others they will not stop they will attempt to go on they will try to go on and accomplish their goal of removing to the left of the american president it's not going to be pretty it's going to be even if we don't like it well this is a dangerous time to be living in i have you with this situation from a bird so i. think that deep steve and in general you know this ultra liberal i do all of you which is really doing it to states if trump approves of the nuclear if you move towards a nuclear war he is going to i'm going to jump in they're going to elaborate at a time when he thinks my guess here in moscow and thanks to our viewers for

watching us here r.t. this is the end of our broadcast segment stay with us for the extended version on our you tube channel see you next time and remember us talking. about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last bank turn. to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each day. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war and i kid was a kid still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question are are. they

secretly promised to never be like it's one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters my. it's consumed with this. speech you just never know whether to. claim that mainstream media has met its maker. says.

defense ministry confirms the identity of the pilot whose jet was shot john over syria. and praises the man's bravery in his final moments. before the. video surfaces online appearing to show the russian pilots are rounded by extremist militants right before he blew himself . also this hour we look at the devastation and suffering still blighting the iraqi city of mosul months after it was liberated from islam extinct president assad and i challenge any member of parliament to live in the conditions we're currently living in here i bet they are even afraid of entering this area. the

u.k.'s high court rules on a british man accused of hacking into f.b.i. and u.s. central bank systems will not be. extradited to america it say such a move could put his life a risk. for every year of shooting in from right around the world this hour welcome to moscow on to r.t. international my names you know neal good to have your company our top story russia's defense ministry has identified the pilot killed in syria province on sunday phillippe off its called him a hero video of the pilot surrounded by syrian rebel fighters after his plane was shot down and has been circulated online you may find some of the following images the stroebel.

this is a. very fired video that you just saw appeared online shortly after the incident and it shows the last moments of the pilot's life now from what we can hear on the video the pilot had waited for the terrorist to get closer to him and only after that he detonated to grenade taking his own life and also avoiding capture he even managed to shout that he was doing this for his own colleagues that were fighting alongside him or his defense ministry has already confirmed all these details the details of the last moments of his life how he was fighting till the very end and. major oman salute both foods and so the very last moment of his long begins to know if it will mean a number of terrorists he was bubbly and surrounded when that's a risk. so long with a hand grenade rushes defense ministry has confirmed him as major one month

reliever from the ministry said that he was an experienced pilot and it wasn't his first time serving in syria now before that he was based for several years in the region of russia's far east it was also part of a dozen successful military operations now the pilots plane was shot down on saturday near the province which is located in the north western part of syria which is still controlled by the latest incarnation of the terrorist group and other militants now the pilot was trying to keep the airplane the aircraft in the air as long as he could that he managed to object from the aircraft but then he found himself or a. terrorist he is the weapon was found with and am. magazine and two others banned now shortly after is that an unverified video appeared online

showing militants taking selfies with the pilots the body and also sampling of the debris of the crashed plane russia has already reacted to this incident carrying out strikes in that particular area and the ministry said that over thirty militants were killed as a result of these strikes. kilometers of rubble on ruination a vast desolate city strewn with countless find bodies that's the state of mosul today six and a half months on from its liberation artie's video agency ripley has been capturing images of the iraqi cities post this law makes state reality a warning you may find the following footage highly upsetting.

how many bodies have you removed since you started working in this area approximately five hundred. more years in houses and all the roads. are bad and i challenge any member of parliament to live in the conditions we're currently living in that they are even afraid of entering this area they have no idea how horrible the smell is or how critical the medical situation is. we haven't received any kind of eight cents. on one occasion did they receive a small box of food. nothing. while our senior correspondent. witnessed the liberation operation its aftermath he shared his experiences with us in the studio earlier. seven months since the battle of mosul ended they're still digging up people's bodies and i was there when these

bodies had just begun to rot and i don't the gull ever forget it was the smell it was beyond sickening beyond nor you know there were areas entire districts in mosul where you could hardly breathe properly the real heroes the people doing the digging the people the rescuers that are sifting through all this all this wreckage and pulling out these bodies there's so desensitized you can see they're not even wearing breathing mosques or even even rags but then again they're paid pennies to do this hard work because we see jobs are scarce in moves as standing buildings. you just described the traumatic inherent is experienced. and you've outlined lots of difficulties but were there any other problems that were highlighted when you were that well there is still

a huge problem and that is unexploded bombs shells mines isis booby traps suicide vest and one of those are still are still all over mosul and when kids are playing for example on wrecked buildings or when rescuers are digging out a body when homeowners come back to their destroyed houses trying to salvage what they can that's when those bombs go off and rescuers tell us every day they get several more new victims of well the battle of the battle of mosul but we were there from the very beginning from when those u.s. led coalition jets bombed isis in in mosul day and night then when it was safer we got a little closer to see what those explosions really caused the price of the liberation of mosul.

oh. the billion cattle thieves are a fact of life in this short of situation. do you agree that some of the the high level of i think ridiculous standard that we had previously is now created this. behavior by isis that they now realize if they take human shield they're going to avoid being struck and that actually this is adding to the problem congresswoman i do believe they understand our sensitivity to civilian casualties and they're exploiting man and i do agree that as we move into these urban environments it is him become more and more difficult to apply extraordinarily high standards for the things we're doing although we will try.

laboring street all but destroyed the streets across. the street over there it's the same story wherever you look. look how close or deep scary of the all this rubble and no one knows how long it will take to get rid of. let me show you west mosul now awake. land in the city for all intents and purposes has been erased and there's little or nothing left so it's no surprise people don't

want to return they would rather live in tents on one issue i was really excited to return to my home and see it when i see it in this state i wish i'd never come back and this was iraq's second largest city founded thousands of years ago and it's been a pillar of religion architecture and culture ever since its reconstruction will never be the same if it even happens and its population will be massively diminished official sources the iraqis in the us have all vastly understated the sheer volume of civilians suffering and death a thousand they said investigative journalists put the figure around ten thousand senior health chief in mosul who didn't want to be for.
